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.

    You can have your Gross assist, and get out quick. These two teams suck.

    The second half is making up for the first half in spades.

      Bournemouth have dug themselves a massive hole to get out of...

      People just say that because they can't do the ß.

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Still doesn't make any sense. It gets anglicized to ss, not b.

    I can't believe that some of you are watching this game and actually want to buy a Brighton attacker.

    Jeez, Gross on for a 9 pointer!!

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years

      Wait for 60 min. He will lose some baps ground

        It's already past 60 minutes.

  11. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years

    A goal from Gross would be bliss

  12. Pooodle

    Bournemouth are so bad. All over the place at the back and offering absolutely nothing going forward.

    Ake is straight out of my team this week - can't believe I gave him another week!

    End of the line for Eddie Howe too?

  13. Football Weekender

    What a ball in from Groß. Been really impressed with him. Working back and winning the ball too.

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That last sentence is not a good thing for FPL.

      1. Football Weekender

        6 years, 7 months ago

        It is in BPS actually.

    Wherever Jermaine Defoe goes relegation follows...

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wonder why that is...

      1. thorvaldsson
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        It's impossible to get relegated from MLS but when he was with Toronto he would had tried lol

    2. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They'd be much better off dropping him and using last year's system. I forget he was even playing.

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years

      Please get him to "rangers"

  15. the snazzy viking

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years

      Nice cross but relied on some appalling defending in not really challenging for it.
