Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Man City

Saturday’s events end on the south coast as Brighton make their Premier League debut and bid to follow the example set by Huddersfield Town following their victory at Palace.

But the Seagulls face a daunting task, with Premier League favourites Manchester City the visitors to the Amex Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men are bristling with prime Fantasy talent with Kevin De Bruyne owned by 31.6% of FPL managers in midfield, while both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero – owned by 13.4 and 11.4% respectively – start up front for City.

That trio are the first big captain assets in action today, with Aguero backed by 5.9% of managers with the armband, while De Bruyne is the skipper for 4.7% of managers and Jesus 4.3%.

In contrast, Brighton are something of a non-event from a Fantasy perspective. Their most popular assets – Uwe Hünemeier and Liam Rosenior are both owned as 4.0 enablers, while Anthony Knockeart – present in 2.3% of squads – joins them on the bench following a recent injury.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How did Francis injury look?

      Eh? Didn't know he was injured

        sounds minor

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    6 years, 8 months ago

    That was one of the more productive FPL days I've had... 55 post baps with DDG, Kane & Kaku (c) to play... and my entire midfield of Zaha, Phillips, KDB all blanked!

    Benched blooming 18 points 🙁

    Still have DDG Pogba Lukaku (c) to go

      that's quite a lot of manure for a pool fan 😉

        True but their early fixtures "on paper" look good.
        Happy with 52 points going into tomorrow 🙂

    What's up with fpl discovery??

    Anyone tried tea-bagging?

    Mate just suggested it, but do the tea leaves not go everywhere.

      :LOL:

    Ake bap while blanking and losing. Imagine when he gets any form of returns 🙂

  9. Scholsey

    Chicharito or Defoe?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wait and see Chicarito first, but prob him.

  10. I Member

    Gabbiadini owners giving him one more chance or jumping on the Mounie wagon?

    1. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Don't understand why people are jumping ship. He was getting tons of chances and the fixtures are still excellent.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        My personal concern is Austin breathing over his neck.

        1. Turbolag
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Austin wasn't much better today.

          1. Boydinho
            • 9 Years

            This

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              He played 20 mins!

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That's good to know actually. I'll leave him a while longer then

    2. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keeping

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on the rest of my team after GW2

      One more chance at least

    4. Everyday im Schneiderlin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      firminio for me somehow

    5. Unsuccessful
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keeping for now.

      Definitely carrying a transfer this week.

  11. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    pretty sure danilo won't start next week, and with two 4m defs i was thinking i could roll out AoA and play atsu....until i logged on

    not sure what to do with him now

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Why won't he start?

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Play the free hit.

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        great idea

  12. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    32 points with kane and kaku (C) to go. Activate WC ?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm lost for words

    2. Slam
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No no mate. WC is not the answer this early.
      It's an unfortunate start and I'm in a similar situation. Personally, I will be saving a transfer or offloading Zaha, no need to panic yet...

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Was Zaha bad?

        1. Yav
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I would give him the Liverpool game before i think about getting rid.

    3. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah deffo

    4. justmatt
      • 8 Years

      Not after gw1, give it time,

    5. Yav
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A lot of people will post average-below par scores this week. Save the wc.

      1. Essan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        about 50% of players!

    6. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bench boost 😉

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        How on earth would you know who to bring in? It would be a complete shot in the dark.

  13. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any info about captain percentages?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      All I know was that the top captains were Lukaku, Kane and Aguero in that order

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

  14. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    42 points post baps with only (K)ane left, could be better but hey gw1 is a lottery, I'm sure I'll see better days. Not gonna kneejerk anyone out (despite being a Gabbiadini owner) because it's just asking for trouble, 2 frees will defo come in handy later on.

    1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season Le…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Defo keep those 2FT.

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    mkhi, atsu, lukaku(C), Kane tomorrow. Expecting at least 35pts from them tbh

  16. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha only on -2.1%.

    Wonder if he can hold on until next week.

    1. Slam
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Did you watch the game? If so, how did he look?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I didn't

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      no real standout options to replace him with...

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed, only option is Ramsey really - unless you downgrade to Xhaka but some people will.

        1. NorwichCityLad
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Is Ramsey nailed?

  17. Pigeon
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    People knee jerking already are unbelievable

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Someone used a wildcard a few pages back haha

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I really dont see the point, their team will probably look similar to what it was

  18. GinjaWhinja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Think anyone will drop tonight? Will there be enough transfers on Day 1?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Cahill maybe

  19. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sell danilo for hegazi or keep?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep

    2. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Danilo isn't nailed but neither is Hegazi once when everyone is fit. I'd hold off that move.

  20. Darklord_bg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jrod to Vokes or Mounie too knee-jerky? They are bound to rise in price soon though.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      jrod looked great today. unlucky not too get points. def keep

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, good to know.

    2. NorwichCityLad
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Take a hit if you need to. Too soon to make transfers.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        What if they blank next week and J.Rod scores? It's a recipe for annoyance

  21. Slam
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I think a Kane captain against that Chelsea defence... mmm

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Thinking the same earlier. Will see how him & Kaku look tomorrow

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You'd be disappointed

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Against 10 men today.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I was thinking that too, either him or Jesus

  22. Unsuccessful
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I'm sure sticking a Waiver in for Mounie will satisfy my jerking knee and allow me to stick with Gabbi in the main game.

    For now...

  23. Big Fella
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Fabregas to ...?
    Cant find good option
    Budget only 7m

    1. Yav
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Willian or Ramsey

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Willian?

      1. Big Fella
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Isnt he short term option till Hazard return?

        1. Turbolag
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah. That's still a few weeks.

        2. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yes... But should be good for a couple of weeks at least. Unless you plan a late WC and want someone long-term. Then Zaha is your guy.

  24. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Eyeing up Fab -> Son, possibly, assuming he's likely to come off the bench tomorrow? No-one else really standing out so far...

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How big a problem are Crystal Palace going to be? Don't want to sit waiting on Zaha through a run of defeats waiting for form... I don't think FDB's style reconciles well with Benteke up front which will limit their goals scoring overalll. Might jerk the knee & get rid of Wilf for Rambo

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I would give them one more game against Pool. And remove after that if they suck

    2. Yav
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He will be up against that Liverpool defence next. I would at least give him that game.

    4. GreennRed

      No.

  26. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years

    I have 8pts. I might actually have to wildcard GW1. This is disaster!

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I dont even know. Long day at work yesterday so I didnt transfer out Trippier, but that in no way explains this.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          That's rough . Sometimes you can make perfectly justifiable decisions and it doesn't work out . Good luck tomorrow

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 13 Years

            I posted this before I saw your link . I was not trying to be a dick for the record

    4. the snazzy viking

      Cahill (c) ?

    5. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Link says 18.

        1. Slam
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier?

    6. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      you have 18 points and reckon you will probably get about 26 tomorrow so it wont be too bad in the end

    1. Darklord_bg

  29. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Only 52 after bonus with Kane and DDG to go.

    Thanks KDB (C) and Jesus. 🙁 And why the hell I picked PVA over Danilo?
