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.

    Whatever happens this season, I must say it's so nice to have a bunch of people on here to chat Fantasy Football with. My friends and housemates are sick of me going on about it.

    You're all great!

    (Apart from Waxys)

      We are one family and we have another ghost family who will probably be ahead of us come the end of season

      Until it gets heated and people start abusing each other.

        Funny but true

      Yeah, this place is a godsend if you want to talk FF or get a view on something 🙂

    Boom 31 points!

    And I didn't even have Hegazi!

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

      That's a good score

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

        For Aston Villa maybe

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

          It's better than my 23. I guess that makes me Brentford

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years

    3. Dr. DOOM

    4. THFC4LIFE

      Who you got left Optimus?

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

        Elliot, Jones, Alli, Kane, Lukaku(c)

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

      Same, solid start. Pissed about Hegazi, went Ake instead. Got Fab to deal with now...

  3. Bushido
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on cartin Lewin?

    1. Weasel51
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He's not real

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

        Looool. Calvert Lewin *

  4. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    My team:
    Foster Elliot
    Yosh Stephen Danilo Rangel Long
    Zaha Salah Phillips Willian Carroll
    Kaku Kane Jesus

    Any transfer needed for next gw? Or Save?

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

      Save

    2. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wait until all games are finished.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Save must of had a good week so far

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

    People on here are so funny... transferring out players after a single game...

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

      Not me.

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

      I transferred out cesc. Going to transfer out iwobi as well. My hand has been forced.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        agreed cesc was poor before the red. Willian, Ramsey or zaha?
        who for iwobi?

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

          Went with Ramsey. For Iwobi I'm looking at either mooy, Brady or Atsu (depends on tomorrow's game)

          1. Hart-ake
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Is Ramsey definitely going to start? It's risky.

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

              Yeah I'm an arsenal fan, watch near enough every game. Ramsey Xhaka are the two CMS. Unless Santi comes back from injury.

              Once the formation switch was made, Ramsey and Xhaka played together.

              1. Hart-ake
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Ok, cool...was Elneny's start today just because Ramsey was coming back from injury then?

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

      The season has already started mate 🙂

  6. Kingston
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What will the average be?

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

      Liverpool.

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

        Below average surely?

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

          Fair point.

    2. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      30 something? Just a guess.

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

      31

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

    Hero of GW1 so far? Hegazi?

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

      Hegazi, Salah, Bobby F.

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

        Yep good call - Salah & Bobby undoubted heroes also

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

      Bertie for me.

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

        He looks set for a big year - only a matter of time before he also gets attacking returns I reckon

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

          Did he injured himself?

    3. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah came through after some serious doubts from the community.

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

        They've gone into hiding already.

      2. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Too bad Liverpool needed defenders and they didn't sign one.

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Not fussed about LIV as a team, this is about an individual performance from Salah.

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

          Surely they have to get VVD now, especially if Coutinho goes & they get €120m for him

      3. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Did not watch match only read stats but was salah less threatening than Firmino? Firmino created more chances and had same number of shots...

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          They both did well imo.

          1. HNI
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            If my Mikhi ount fails I will bring a liv cover soon..prefer the peno taker though

        2. HNI
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Shots in target..stats showing Salah to be not quite potent at finishing...

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            It's only been one game, stats tell more of a story with a higher sample size. Salah, Firm and Mane are all great options and will get returns if you hold imo.

    4. mgrea
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mooy Vs JWP

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

        Mounie surely

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

          Didn't have him so boooo

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Not if you don't have him lol

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Foster. 😉

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

        He was a good keeper pick - did his job & brought home the 6 points!

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yep. 🙂

        2. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years

          Ahem...7 points 🙂

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            😀

    7. Bushido
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Foster, Cedric and Kolasinac, the only good things about this gameweek so far.

    8. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Foster for me 😆

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

      Salah (or just the excitement of watching Kola)

    10. Captain Goodwin
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah in my team. Mounie overall?

    11. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Surely vokes!?

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

        Though I doubt anyone on here owns him

    12. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kola was exciting. If ARS start getting CS then he's in

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

      Hegazi, Vokes, Mounie, Morata, Salah...

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

    How do i know if Fabregas is dropping in price tonight, need to transfer him out, but want to hold for tomorrow's games if possible.

    And who do you think is best 7.0 or less replacement?

    Ramsey/Xhaka?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsey

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

        My gut feeling also, but xhaka did take a lot of set pieces, and for 1.5 less, giving me some money in the bank for gw3 transfer.

    2. BIG TONES

      Haha

  10. The Iron Tulip
    • 9 Years

    Unanswered on last page - How bad were palace? Benteke owner here, hold for Liverpool? Or downgrade?

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

      I'd keep Benteke. Okaka destroyed Lovren. And Matip.

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I wouldn't mind bringing in Gray, I just don't see them dropping Okaka

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

      Definitely hold for pool

    3. The Iron Tulip
      • 9 Years

      Will keep - thanks

    I hope that somewhere right now Romelu is sat dabbing away to his Stormzy album like a moron, and mentally prepping himself to go and kick it in the bloody goal a few times tomorrow

      Amen

    I know everyone has had a mediocre 1st gameweek, but you have to feel for the people who went 5 atb, head up huns

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      3 of my defenders have played, Kompany, Kola and Stephens, got points from all of them, 4 at the back. I don't know what you are on about.

    40 pts. De Gea, Mikhi and Kane (c) to come.
    Chuffed with that, when all's said and done....

  15. Weasel51

    Why do Arsenal and Everton have no GW9 fixture??

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      think they're playing each other, but due to Europe they don't know what time yet

    2. Slam

      True...

      Both playing in Europe the Thursday before. It has now been scheduled for the Sunday (Live match on Sky).

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Glad I went gabbi over firmino.worked out a treat.

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Got burnt by him towards end of last season, wasn't doing it again! Get rid

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Atleast someone learnt from his mistakes

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        So did I ,some people never learn.

    2. mgrea
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Very unlucky. Firm had a poor match and sounds as though Gabbi came close. Luck will turn.

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He's back 🙂

        • 11 Years

        Hey you 're not a virgin any more. Need to change your name.Hello by the way.

    4. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino worked out well, but would keep Gabbi if I owned him.

  17. SilkySkills
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    52 with DDG and Lukaku to play - shouldn't end up too bad

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

      Nah not too bad

  18. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    it's been an interesting gw so far in that there's no-one who I'm gutted I didn't go for. hegazi points would've been nice but I'm not putting him in just for that. anyone got any player they are definitely getting in? or watching?

    think the only player I'm monitoring is Ramsey

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

      Ramsey is #1 on watchlist... happy with KDB/Bobby/Kane/Kaku, but no arsenal attack & not prepared to wait on Zaha, so thinking FT to Rambo before their prices move in opposite directions

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        ye keeping an eye on fplstatistics but no sign of change yet

      2. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Think I will give Zaha at least one more week. Now Danilo however....?

    Not particularly regretting the big 3 upfront - mainly because I'm struggling to see who to swap Fabregas to...hopefully Son/Mkhi become options tomorrow

    Why is Jorgensen named Zanka in the FPL?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Because that's what he's known as.

    Zanka reminds me of cool runnings

    That KDB blank was abit to expensive!!

    Does the formation suite him?

    Depending who shines tomorrow . Probably going to move him for Alli,Eriksen or Pogba.

      I'm tempted to move him to Alli as I also have walker and jesus

      Stick and forget while he's fit.

    3. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years

      No need to rush though

    4. BIG TONES

    Reckon I'm sitting on a Mounie price rise, and a Zaha and KDB drop by the end of the week. Hoping to bank a FT unless Bertrand is actually broken

      If zaha drops it will be crazy. it's been literally one game, he's still the main man in the team and no other 7mil mid did anything world breaking. madness
