Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Brighton

The Gameweek begins with a Friday night clash under lights at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth host south coast rivals Brighton in what is already a vital match for the home side.

Eddie Howe’s Cherries are simply in dismal form. They have suffered four successive defeats and have just a single goal to their name – albeit a goal of the season contender from Fantasy favourite Charlie Daniels.

Impotent in attack, Howe’s defence have also allowed 30 shots on target, more than any other side.

Such statistics will give Chris Hughton’s Brighton plenty of confidence heading into the contest, having sealed their first ever Premier League victory in Gameweek 3 with a 3-1 win over West Brom.

Pascal Gross inspired that performance with an 18-point haul made up of two goals and an assist. Fantasy managers will be fixed on his display in the number ten role tonight as the main point of interest.

Indeed, the match provides a sedate introduction to Gameweek 5, with few Fantasy assets on show.

The aforementioned Daniels is the top owned player in action. Still part of 12.7% of squads, the left-back has been sold by more than 222,000 managers over the last three Gameweeks.

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

    I have no interest in this game FPL wise

    So I have put £5 on over 2.5 goals and a Bournemouth win

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

      booo
      (I've a defender from each)

    2. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pugh anytime scorer

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

      nice bet

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I like that bet .

    5. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm afraid the game is going to be more boring than that.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wrong .

          Indeed 🙂

      What odds was that? Looks a good bet.

    Come on Joshua King, announce yourself to the world tonight my son.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Josh King = Aaron Ramsey v50

      Average player who went on a hot streak.

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

        Disagree, he will easily get double figures again if he stays fit.

        Everton should have gone for him.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Bournemouth should have stuck with him as main striker.

    3. BRKFCTrueRover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I remember him playing for me beloved Blackburn, the lad could run but couldn't hit a barn door, reverting back to the norm

    Aguero > Kane tonight to catch the price rise or wait?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years

      you should have done it an hour ago

      1. Eton Rifles

        prefer Kun rather than Kane this week

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years

          its not 2015/2016 anymore 😉

          I think you'll end up regreting this big time. Watford are a different team under Silva and have only conceded 10 shots on target this season, they play at home, Swansea are away and have conceded 20 shots on target. Kane also shoots 7 times a game, Aguero averages around 4-5 shots less.

        getting him cheaper than his starting price is so tempting

    New transfer period, new hopes..since there is lots of price rises and drops tonite, is it wise to do the transfer tonite? I am thinking to replace Yoshi with Kola but 0.2 short. Anything u see in this team that has to be done this week?

    Elliot
    Alonso | Davies | Yoshi
    Alli | Ramsey | Atsu | Mkhi
    Kaku | Kane | Chica

    Krul | Mee | Carroll | Rosenior

    2. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Solid team, Yoshida definitely the one to look at getting out. Anything could happen with Hernandez, but if it becomes clear he's not a good option make a switch there (the 8.5m options are by far the best third strikers though)

      Basically have patience, see what happens over the weekend.

    Ronkes wildcard similar to mine gave me a bit assurance.Picked the same enablers in Joselu Honey Monster Cho-Mo.
    Think he's missed a trick having Carroll instead of RLC who rotates home and away with his 4th mid all season.Also no Man C/Chelsea attack could bite him on the bum.Who am I to question someone like him though.

      Great forward position for a defender. Last seasons points were no fluke.
