The short answer
Hull City have signed Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos for a club-record fee. Official Fantasy Premier League has added the Greece international as a £4.5m goalkeeper.
That price is attractive, but Tzolakis is not automatically a safe Gameweek 1 pick. Hull also have Jack Butland and Dillon Phillips, so managers should confirm the starting goalkeeper before selecting him.

Hull's official expert analysis describes Tzolakis as a modern goalkeeper who is strong at shot-stopping, penalties, distribution and sweeping behind a high defensive line.
Why he could work in FPL
Save points
A promoted-club goalkeeper can face enough shots to earn save points even when clean sheets are inconsistent. FPL awards one point for every three saves.
Penalty saves
Tzolakis has a strong penalty-saving reputation. His best-known performance came when he saved three penalties in a European shootout against Fenerbahce.
FPL awards five points for a penalty save, although managers should never select a goalkeeper based only on rare penalty events.
Secure price point
At £4.5m, he can fit a rotation structure or a budget squad. The problem is that the value disappears if he is not first choice.
Main risks
| Risk | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper competition | Butland and Phillips remain alternatives |
| Premier League adaptation | Shot speed, crosses and pressing differ from Greece |
| Promoted-club defence | Clean sheets can be difficult |
| Club-record fee pressure | A large fee suggests importance, not guaranteed starts |
| Early fixtures | Check the opening run before committing |
Tzolakis versus other £4.5m goalkeepers
Choose Tzolakis only when three conditions are met:
- He starts Hull's final major friendly.
- The manager identifies a clear No 1.
- Hull's opening fixtures suit your goalkeeper structure.
If the hierarchy remains unclear, choose a proven starter from another club rather than spending a transfer later.
OneFPL verdict
Watchlist.
Tzolakis has the price, pedigree and save potential to become a useful FPL goalkeeper. Starting security is the only information that matters now.
