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.

      are the 3 bps for scoring the winning goal added in during the game?

    Fraser's flag has been removed, thus his price rise/drop has to be locked and reset right?

    1. MTPockets

        Reset not locked

        Average points scored below zero after hits? Don't think I've ever seen that before.

          Given how it came about -
          GW starting on a game with low key players - its probably not uncommon.

        I know you were all dying to see my WC team so here it is. Mark, this is how you wildard bro!

          I went with Daniels instead of TAA as a punt, damn. Liking your team a lot, 8 of the same players on mine.

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I considered Daniels aswell, was put off my the mixed bag of fixtures.

            • 13 Years

            Which players are different? Other than Daniels.

              Foster, Elliot
              Davies, Mendy, Kola, Jones, Hunemeier
              Alli, Coutinho, Ritchie, Chalobah, Carroll
              Kane, Jesus, Vardy

              (that is after I go Daniels > Kola)

                6 years, 6 months ago

                Jumping on Coutinho early could be inspired. I was 50/50 on Vardy and Firmino.

                  Cheers, hoping so. Saw Klopp's comments about him being outstanding in training. Also figured he's perfect for Burnley, can shoot from outside and operate in small spaces.

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

          Similar team here, but the biggest difference is that I squeezed in Lukaku over Morata. Had to compromise but couldn't go without for the next few. Will downgrade in due course.

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough. The way i view it is Morata *should* match Lukaku, or at least get close, couldn't turn down the extra 1.5m. Despite the goals, i'm still unsure on Utds attack.

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

              Oh, I absolutely agree. I was going for Vardy/Jesus/Morata instead but I looked at Everton and realised that has heartbreak all over it for sellers. 90 minutes guaranteed v Soton and Palace too.

          Who do you think is the most nailed out of:

            D because he is the captain

            1. RubberDucky
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Therefore most likely to be highest point score over next 4/5 GW's

            Bringing in a player after 1 good week has really been the move this year...quite annoying. Go to dream team and pick a player and transfer him in, or a couple. My friends have been killing me with that.

            • 7 Years

            Dilemma tonight, planning on doing the following for GW 6 for the tasty City and Arsenal fixtures For a -4:

            Lowe to Kolasinac
            Lukaku to Jesus

            Issue is Jesus looks like he will increase tonight and would mean I would be 0.1 short....

            Question is do Lukaku to Jesus tonight or wait/leave?

            1. Drip Doctor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Think i'd leave. Thing with Jesus is, he's only 20. He'll be protected and subbed early. Would you ever captain him knowing he's likely to be hooked after 60-70 minutes?

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                If I put him in, I'll be very tempted to captain him against Palace yes.
                City, when they're firing, seem to score most of their goals early on as well.

              Antonio is a good shout.

            Well that's Gross staking a claim with further points.

            So with all this talk of people on negative points, do i get a green by virtue of having no players played and no hits? 😆

            Whats the best route to get Kane in my team? Got 2 free transfers.

              anything ITB? Foster, Kaku -> Kane, 3.9/4.0? Wouldn't want to break that midfield. Only another option I see would be Kaku, Morata -> Kane, Vardy

            2. kawaiii

              Mki to Antonio , Luka to Kane
              United's fixtures will stiffen and you will probably captain Kane over LuKa

            I need a 3.9 bench fodder def who obviously has to hold his price until i wildcard in a few weeks. Whose most likely to stay at 3.9? Hunemeier (ownership 5%) or Tuanzebe (ownership 1.6%). Or those percentages too small to make any difference and either is ok?

                But if I'd sold on WC and bought back whilst on WC, I wouldn't get it back! Strange system at times.
