Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Man City

3,327 Comments
Share

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.

      No, only as part as a -8 and then a 'might as well WC' type transfer panic strategy.

        It sucks, if I try watching it full screen it's a pixalted mess and still stops every few seconds to buffer. No wonder so many people turn to the illegal streaming sites.

      A team would be naive not to pack their defence against City if they've few attacking options. Houghton, ex-fullback, very savvy coach. They won't keep a CS but make scoreboard respectable.
