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.

    A kdb and Jesus double up could do wonders this year, de bruyne always looks like he's looking for him

    so close to an 11 point goal for me there, instead it's minus 2. small margins in this poxy game

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

      A goal is only 3 points 😉

    That was a nice left footed pass by KDB to set up that non goal, too.

      Ouch, non cappo here, frustrating enough.

    Jesus yellow.. Makes me feel a tiny bit happier as a non owner. Every point counts

  19. Ser Davos

    I have every sympathy and respect for refs, but decisions like that deserves a punch

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

      Rubbish. The ref was spot on. And I'm a Jesus owner

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        how so? rule directive this year specifically give example of ball dflecting from oe body part to an arm shouldn't be given handball

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It was his hand?

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            or hand. It was chest deflected to hand, rather than intentional handball

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He deliberately brought his hand up to do it - looked fairly clear cut to me on the replay. I hadn't seen it at all at normal speed, so fair play to the ref I say.

      2. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Hey? Watch it again

    2. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It was the correct decision.

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

      Shut up

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        To disallow the goal? Of course. To book him when the ball's collided off his arm accidentally? No

    4. Duffo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You sympathise for refs yet criticise them for making the correct decision? Please...

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        To book the guy? He chested it and in a fraction of a second hit his arm clearly as an accident. His own momentum leaves him crashing in to the GK.

        But agree to disagree. No need for a yellow, particularly with the guy flat out.

    Jesus -> Firmino?

    Get rid of Gabbi or Zaha?

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

      Did either do anything today that you didn't expect?

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I didn't see any games and to be fair both sides have new managers so there was uncertainty as to how they'd play.

  23. KOLASINA(C)

    Nobody fecks with the Jesus

    How was Jrod for full 90 mins? Saw him early on but want to know whether he was dangerous enough to keep or bring in Mounie?
