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.

    Charlie Daniels looks like Rigsby from Rising Damp.

  4. Lionac

    There won't be any price changes tonight, right?

    1. Mark-O
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane Salah Jesus Firmino

    2. TorresMagic™

      Wrong, 4.5 hours to go.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      Plenty

    4. how now brown cow

      Um. Why wouldn't there be?

    5. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

      Holding out for Rosenior?

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

        No, wanted to do Redmond -> Gros

        Hoping Redmond won't fall tonight. Would like to see the situation with Gross.

        Already own Rosenior 🙂

    6. Lionac
      • 7 Years

      I thought changes are refreshed one new round starts

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

        What does that mean?

  5. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    unsure if Gross will get any bonus at the end

    1. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      still on for 2

  6. gunner 2727
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Flag conspiracies never higher than tonight seeing Fraser at -97, started, played 65 minutes, subbed AND STILL YELLOW FLAGGED!!

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Should be removed soon.

  7. the snazzy viking

    Suttner please

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      go away

  8. tm245
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Just started watching and the first thing I saw was Pugh unable to dribble the ball from an attacking position -- has it been a good match or some ugly goals?

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible match but with some good goals

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Makes sense based on what I've been watching.

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ibe changed the game, two great assists and nicely finished goals.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting. Just saw the backheel for the first one.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      First half terrible, second half good.
      Some might say it's a game of two halves but I am not one of them

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good second half. Still trying to figure out if Ibe is a genius or an idiot savante.

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

    All that Rosenior love has dried up quickly.

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Rosenior second shot

  11. Manbatius
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Glad Rosenior missed, on my bench.

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      don't fancy a price rise?

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

        When you put it like that...

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How is Gross on 2BP with 1 assist and Ibe on 1BP with 2 assists ?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      BPS is more than assists.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ibe missed 65 minutes.

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

      Because you get BPS for doing other things than scoring/assisting.

    4. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Owner of FPL transferred in Gross

    5. gunner 2727
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because gross has had time to gather bps... minutes, touches, crosses.

    6. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Most likely because Gross has done way more things in this match? Like crossing from open play and corners?

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

        4 key passes and 3 tackles and has got one of the pass completion bonuses as well.

  13. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba won't drop again tonight, right? Already hit over 50%

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

      Very unlikely
