Rotation Pairs – Bournemouth & Brighton

The second in our series of articles looking at rotation pairs dares to venture away from the pure home and away partnership.

Our previous piece – which assessed West Brom and Swansea City as such a pairing – was a follow-up to our introductory article which explored the basic principles of fixture rotation.

This Brighton and Bournemouth pairing – a south coast marriage if you like – may not offer a succession of home matches, but it provides a run of obliging opponents nonetheless.

The Fixtures

As with our first article, we are dismissing the concept of season-long rotation.

Instead, we will extend the fixtures as far as Gameweek 22, at which point the second Wildcard becomes available and the first needs to have been put in play.

As before, we will split the 21 fixtures into two banks of matches.

Gameweeks 1-10
wba WAT wat WBA BHA NEW LEI EVE/tot whu/stk SOT

Gameweeks 11-21
swa HUD swa BUR SOT hud tot/mun BUR WAT WHU new

As you can see above, the first series of fixtures begins very strongly. While there are two encounters with Watford over the first three Gameweeks, that then settles to provide four successive home fixtures, two of which involve newly promoted sides.

Gameweek 8 is the first sticking point. Here we have the option of Brighton’s home fixture with Everton, or a daunting trip to Manchester City for Bournemouth.

The second batch of fixtures includes more away trips but only one significant trouble spot – the Gameweek 17 situation where Brighton travel to Spurs, while Bournemouth make their way to Old Trafford.

Nonetheless, this amounts to just two Gameweeks from 21 where we are forced to face a “tough” opponent when marrying these two sides.

In Practice

With this in mind, there are actually some very appealing options opened up by this partnership.

Begovic and Ryan
Both Brighton and Bournemouth offer us 4.5 options in goal via Asmir Begovic and Mat Ryan.

Both are likely to be first choice and, on their day, very capable shot-stoppers who can offer save points when their goal is breached.

It’s fair to say that, even when forced to select one of this pair for Gameweek 17, we’d expect some save point returns, either from Brighton’s clash with Spurs or Bournemouth’s with Manchester United.

Meanwhile, with 13 home matches over the 21 Gameweeks, we should reasonably expect some clean sheets.

Brighton were a force at the Amex Stadium last season, setting a Championship record of just 14 goals conceded from their 23 matches, shutting out opponents on 12 occasions.

Bournemouth were less convincing in the top flight, keeping 10 clean sheets in total, although six arrived at the Vitality Stadium.

Nonetheless, their home fixtures with Watford, Brighton, Huddersfield and Burnley during the 21-Gameweek spell look prime candidates for clean sheets. Meanwhile, the Seagulls offer West Brom, Newcastle, Stoke, Burnley and Watford as their most likely shutouts.

All in all, those are strong prospects for a joint 9.0 pairing in goal.

Francis and Suttner
Arguably, we could have a more effective pairing available in defence courtesy of Simon Francis and Markus Suttner.

Both are also priced at 4.5, with Francis the only likely Cherries starter in defence at that price point.

Meanwhile, Suttner has seen off Lewis Dunk as Brighton’s backline option of choice. The Austrian appears destined to claim regular starts at left-back and will share set-piece duties with Pascal Gross and Anthony Knockaert.

But while Suttner would seem secure, Francis’ starts are still in doubt.

Bournemouth’s acquisition of Nathan Ake appears likely to either oust Francis to the bench or leave him at right-back with Adam Smith perhaps moving to a midfield role.

Smith has played just 67 minutes pre-season but, even so, the doubts are unlikely to disperse ahead of Gameweek 1, so this pairing, while attractive, carries an element of risk.

Meanwhile, Suttner partnered with Charlie Daniels could also work as a 9.5 duo, although the Bournemouth left-back is far more difficult to bench given his attacking potential, even when away from home or against tougher opponents.

Three Way Rotation

Once again we should search for a third option who could work along with a Brighton/Bournemouth defensive partnership to plug the troublesome Gameweeks.

Having analysed the weak points in our two-way rotation, we’ve identified Burnley as the most likely addition.

Crucially the Clarets are on hand to offer us a home fixture with West Ham in Gameweek 8, with another attractive home fixture with Newcastle United in Gameweek 9.

Similarly, for Gameweek 17, Sean Dyche’s side present a Turf Moor clash with Stoke City to compensate for Bournemouth’s tie with at Man United and the Brighton visit to Spurs. All in all, Burnley are most efficient as an addition.

With Ben Mee the obvious candidate in the Burnley defence, he can be brought in to partner Francis and Suttner to provide a very attractive set of three 4.5 defenders. The doubts surrounding Francis’ starts is the caveat but, if that clears up, this is a trio worthy of consideration.

Attacking Rotation

The potential of this partnership extends to attacking areas thanks to a cast of viable budget/mid price assets on offer.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser should already be considered in his own right and is a player that we’re backing to progress further this season.

Priced at just 5.5, the winger returned three goals and nine assists from 19 starts in 2016/17 and has already impressed over the summer with two more assists. He looks set to be even more influential for Howe’s men this season.

Fraser can work with either Brighton’s Pascal Gross (5.5) or Anthony Knockaert (6.0) in a midfield rotation to cover the run of fixtures listed above.

That pairing should provide able partners, with Gross perhaps the preferred option for those who want to look to Fraser for the majority of fixtures. Knockaert – with 15 goals and eight assists in the Championship – has the greater potential but the idea of benching the Frenchman, even against tougher opposition, could backfire and be a concern for some. The extra 0.5 is, of course, also a factor.

Rotation with a midfielder and an attacker is not so straightforward.

A combination of Fraser and Brighton’s Glenn Murray is an option, although there are understandable doubts that the 33-year-old striker may struggle upon returning to the top flight, despite his 23-goal campaign in the Championship.

Benik Afobe’s strong pre-season form seems unlikely to earn him regular starts for the Cherries over Josh King and Jermain Defoe, so the chances of a rotation option with either Gross or Knockaert appear slim.

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

    Alli + Eriksen double up in midfield.

    That was one of the promises i made to myself end of last season. Wonder if should still stick to it @ 19 million...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane + Salah here 🙂

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        With KDB and kane/kaku?

    2. Guybrush Threepwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tempting if you're not going with Kane.

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli + Mane here 😉

      1. Shifty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I've got all 3 in current draft :O

        Mane Alli Eriksen Gross Carroll
        Jesus Lukaku JRod

        1. FISSH
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Way too much Spurs if you ask me. 😉

    4. Captain Roberto
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Have Alli, Eriksen, & Kane!
      Then be forced to pick the Burnley defence.

  2. Wild Rover

    When people say that not owning Lukaku will hurt you due to his ownership if he does well, isn't there a massive assumption that the players you own instead don't do well? Could easily work in your favour too.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but I don't mess around with my captain options.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So Kane and Aguero are not Captain options?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I have Kane too.

          Aguero is nowhere near as good a captain option as those 2 this season. Won't even be able to predict when he will and won't start. When Lacazette has Ozil fit to feed him and when Morata has settled in, I would take both of them over Kun aswell.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Also, Kun's style of play hurts Aguero in terms of goal scoring. He often likes his striker to play as a false 9 or just be more involved in general - his whole game is always about possession.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Pep's style of play*

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I've now dropped Kane and gone Lukaku and Aguero... I've swapped so many times between the 3. Fixtures swing it for the Manchester lads for me and if Kane has done well I'll get him in for one of them

        3. Sánchez
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Aye. Since when was Lukaku the reliable go to captain. That's Kane. Sanchez if fit. Before that it was Aguero. Lukaku was never the main captain. People are treating him as it because he's joined a top 6 club. But that club don't score huge amounts. 23 less than other top 6 sides last year

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Early this season, Lukaku looks the most reliable captain option to me. Why would I care who was the most reliable in the past? Absolutely irrelevant. Sanchez for example is a terrible option to start with this season.

            1. Sánchez
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Maybe gw1 but that's it for me

          2. Nabs Kebabs
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Also, Kane isn't like an RVP, Suarez or Kun when they were head and shoulders above everyone in fpl. So getting the 2 best captain options makes more sense to me.

      2. Shifty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        BB GW1?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Haven't decided yet. I've got a draft for BB GW1 with GW4 WC (as I did last year).

          And a draft that just plans for GW6 WC.

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku is a fire and forget captain option for the first 6 GWs, that will cause hurt if he fires

      1. Nico.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That will cause plenty more hurt if he doesn't fire 😆

    3. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm a Utd fan & I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't start well straight away

    4. Sánchez
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Agree. It's not like if Lukaku gets 10pts for my rival, that means I fall 10 behind. My pick might return too

    5. Daaf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It can only work in your favor if your captain outperforms him. And with those fixtures, possibly on penalties and being a proven goal scorer and a huge percentage captaining him it becomes a big risk to not own him.

      Ofcourse he could also go off injured and your replacement could score a hattrick but i´m not willing to roll those dice.

    6. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not owning Ibra at the start of last season killed me off.

      Not making the same mistake again

      1. Sánchez
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        What was your end rank?

            I never recovered

    7. Guybrush Threepwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For me, as with Kane, I'm equally concerned about being unable to easily bring them in if they hit a purple patch straight away due to their price. Would require several transfers or WC.

  3. Whats the Huth

    last night everyone was raving about Company.
    This morning, it seems to be all about Kolasinac

    So.... Once more

    A/ Kompany
    B/ Kolasinac.

    4. Daaf

      Kompany. You could get another 5.5 at Arsenal, at City not so much.

  4. My Name Is Prince
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Are people picking Sanchez in the draft league? Might not be good at the start but the draft is a more long-term game innit?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd just let someone else pick him up tbh, a bit like last season with Mahrez

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, but the risks are there to be honest...

        1. sentz05
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          My first pick in our draft league. Once he gets going, he'll be the highest scoring player.

  5. Smoky Johnson
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else going just Kane / Jesus ?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years

      plenty are.

      kane. lukaku and firmino for me

      As long as they aren't City defenders, you're fine. Their fixtures don't scream clean sheets.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Disagree

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Danillo, KDB, Aguero.

        bha, EVE, bou could be clean sheets there. Will only get 2gw's from him likely so will be swapping him to Trippier after the first 2 gws hopefully if fit.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wow!

  9. Afghanistanislas
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Worth downgrading Daniels to Francis/Hegazi and Salah to Firmino to fund Foster to De Gea?

    1. Guybrush Threepwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No. By all means free the funds but not for that transfer. I think there's a decent chance Firmino outscores Salah anyway but don't see the value in a premium GK.

  10. Atimis

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Please choose:

    1)Salah, Atsu, Gabi
    2)Firmino, Zaha, JWP
    3)Daniels, Zaha, Salah

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat

        Agreed

    All news outlets online only talk about Mendy missing the first game. Have we convinced ourselves that Danilo will play longer than that or has there been an update that I have missed??

    1. Daaf
      • 9 Years

      Don´t know for sure about Mendy but Danilo is a transfer waiting to happen.

  13. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    a) Kolasinac and Mili

    OR

    b) Daniels and Ince/Ritchie

    (Have Suttner on bench for rotation)

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 7 Years

  14. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

    Forster/4.0 bench fodder

    Feeling good about the season. Going Kaneless and know the risks. Like my team.

    How are you guys doing? All set?

      Kaneless here too. Much stronger team without, and have captain options with Lukaku and KDB. Will no doubt bring him in on my gw 3/4/5 wildcard.

    6. Whats the Huth

      Yes, all set and ready to go!

      *Looks to the heavens and puts palms together in prayer*
      Please Lord, let the season start already!

      Done a Kaneless draft too but not brave enough to go with it, for me it boils down to Pedro + Jesus vs JWP + Kane. We'll let him ride for the time being...

    De Bruyne, Zaha, Ritchie, JWP, TC

    Part of me thinks I should swap out Lacazette for Firmino and use the funds elsewhere, but I'm wary of Liverpool rotation early on.

      Liverpool rotation is a worry for me too that's why I haven't got any of them in my team.

      Team looks good.

      I would go Laca - Firmino. Think he's probably the most nailed Liv player and then that defence 2nd and 3rd mid could have a boost

  18. b91jh
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Bertrand+Kompany
    B) Yoshida/Stephens+Walker

    Which one?

  19. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Kun-Jesus double:
    A) Biblical
    B) Suicidal

    1. rnrd
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A for 7 GW
      B for 15 GW

    2. RIDZ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. HVT
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      C - neither I'd rather 1 tho just for now.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A) All day

    5. LONG LIVE ZOLA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      this is bold

  20. HVT
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    @ Cat, I notice a lot of good feedback/critique on here, what's your own draft looking like?

  21. Essem
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Will Phil Jones start? Seeing as he is banned for the first CL game he could be a steal at 5,0.

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Dodgy and then there's those injuries to consider

    2. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A transfer waiting to happen. Don't do it to yourself.

    3. william prunier
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He started 18/19 games when fit last season

      1. Essem
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting. He has played a lot pre-season.

  22. rnrd
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Won't kolasinac appeal be suddenly lowered by Sanchez back on the left side soon?

    1. Daaf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. GoonerByron
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why would it?

  23. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Can anyone help me shave 0.5 off this team?

    DDG // Elliot

    Kolasinac // Cedric // Mee // Francis // Long

    KDB // Salah // Willian // JWP // Carroll

    Kane // Lukaku // Hernandez

    I'm thinking either DDG needs to be bumped down e.g. to Foster, or Kolasinac needs to get downgraded to a 5.5 e.g. a Trippier placeholder.

    Any ideas?

    1. RIDZ
      • 8 Years

      Mee to anyone, Burnley have terrible fixtures

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Rotates well and good BAPS potential.
        Good signing IMO

        1. RIDZ
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I swapped Mee to Hegazi, but I don't have 2 players with 4.5

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hernandez down to Abraham would give you a load of funds

    3. HVT
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      DDG > Foster,
      Cedric > Bertie

    4. Daaf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think you're right. I'm unsure if Francis starts. You could also downgrade JWP and go 4-3-3 or rotate Carroll with RLC in a 3-4-3.

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Francis not nailed
      Cedric to Yoshi due to Cedric not nailed at the start
      Hernandez is a poor signing.

        Francis is nailed. 🙂

      Forster has nice fixtures for 13 GWs, except when Soton play MU, that week it's Brighton-Newcastle, so hopefully Elliott will step in.

      It would save you 0.5. I have Forster/Elliott ATM, and have also had DDG (and Foster, lol)

  24. FootballManiac

    is francis from Bournemouth nailed on?

    1. william prunier
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      no

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes. And Captain.

  25. LONG LIVE ZOLA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Valencia, Kolasinac, Aké, Salah
    B) Bailly, Bertrand, 4.5 def, Laca

    1. RIDZ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

      But I am afraid having two premium defenders

      1. LONG LIVE ZOLA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        and I'm afraid of not having lacazette

  26. Fantasy Freako
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    RMT
    Foster (Elliot)
    Yoshida - Daniels - Dann - (Mee, Naughton)
    Fraser - De Bruyne - Zaha - Ali (Carroll)
    Lukaku - Aguero - Benteke

    I'm banking on Palace scoring 3 home to Huddersfield and then potentially moving on one of Zaha/Benteke to a bandwagon.

    One thing I don't really get is if you see fixtures against newly promoted sides as likely to be easier "provide four successive home fixtures, two of which involve newly promoted sides" then why use a newly promoted side in your rotation pairing?

      All about Foster and Fab rotation for me

  29. FPL Footy Show Pod

    1) Ince & Firmino

    2) Mane & Tammy

  30. FPL Maldini

    Is Tadic nailed?

    1. RIDZ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No. Austin has same price.

    2. GoonerByron
      • 13 Years

      Yes.
