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.

    Never had as much transfer regret in the last few years as this Lukaku out.

    Guaranteed 90 mins
    Good fixtures
    Everton awful
    On pens
    In form

    Jesus and Firmino are going to have to seriously perform...

      Lukaku is better value than Jesus. 1m elsewhere won't make much difference

        It was the difference between Gabbiadini and Firmino at least....or helped.

        Jesus just about keeping up so far

          I'm not sure it was that clear cut. Funds could have been taken from elsewhere surely.

            Mkhi, Eriksen, Salah would have been main places.

            Could have cheaped out on defence but really wanted Davies

              I would have preferred Lukaku over Davies.

                I think i'd back his Jesus and Firmino to outscore your Lukaku and Joselu mate

                  3m to be used elsewhere is handy

                    He's strengthened his team by quite a bit from what i see and while you have Lukaku you have Joselu who is a shot in the dark he has 3 very competent and performing strikers..

                    Apart from that teams are very similar

                    1. Ryan

                      I'm not comparing my team with his, you are. I believe people should back their decisions with 100% confidence or close to it. Regretting such a major move just days after doesn't sound like a confident move to me.

                        I totally agree

                        Make the move don't look back and believe

                Its not just Lukaku v Davies.

                It was Lukaku and Gabbi v Jesus and Firmino.

                  You could have had Lukaku and Firmino though

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years

      They have both been performing mate

      You have a stronger team now than you did a couple of days ago

      Have faith

      You were in a good position pal, not sure why you feel you needed to take the risk. If I'm not mistaken, you could have just done Gabbi to Firmino for free?

          So selling Lukaku cost you 4pts as well. Ouch

            Depends how you look at it.

            Most people go with the Lukaku cost 4 points to get rid of because it sounds worse.

              Gabbi to Firmino for free was the simple move. Often the simple moves are the best ones.

                That would have meant a super cheap defence.

                        Well I cant not back myself of course.

                        Just airing my thoughts is all.

                        Always easy to regret transfers before games have come.

                        Will have faith tomorrow but no doubts Lukaku does well. Need Jesus to match.

            Lol, way to rub it in. I still like Jesus though, my feeling is he matches Lukaku in the next few weeks given City's fixtures, even with reduced minutes.

      Dnt be sad. Wait till 3/4 of the game and lukaku shows you his tiredness and weary eyes....
      after the 2nd inter break kaku will get dropped by alot.

      Funny thing is - whenever a team is posted without Lukaku here or on Twitter, most of the time people dont bat an eyelid.

          I do because im thinking the worst. On paper i think team looks stronger.

          As long as Jesus and Firmino play...

      2. Squashed

      Could work out great. Could have done something similar but with a mid.

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

      I don't understand why everyone thinks Lukaku has absolutely no chance of outscoring or at least keeping pace with Kane. It's crazy. Few things to consider:

      - Lukaku has already outscored Kane by 4 to 2 goals.

      - One of Kane's goals was actually a cross. This seems to have had a disproportionate impact in people's thinking - I can't imagine there would be anywhere near the same enthusiasm had he just scored once last week.

      - Lukaku has had 7 big chances to Kane's 4. That's at least 2 more than any other striker. Lukaku has also had the same number of shots on target as Kane.

      - Last season Kane outscored Lukaku by 4 goals. BUT 7 of Kane's goals came in the last 2 "freak" games. Kane also scored 5 penalties.

      - Kane was playing for a significantly better team than Lukaku last season with much better service. Spurs scored a whopping 24 more goals than Everton over the season.

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Good points. If not owning both at the same time, it's all about timing of course. The last couple of seasons they've been kind enough to alternate series of blanks!

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

          Yeah I think both is the way to go long term. I don't currently have Kane and obviously that's a worry but I think the extra money can be used elsewhere and with Eriksen and Alli there's great routes into Spurs' goals.

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I didn't own Kane until this GW for this run of fixtures. Currently on both of them, but might very well go Kane and Jesus after next week.

        Personally backing Kane over everyone else for the short term 🙂

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

          He's obviously a great option, don't get me wrong. I just find it odd that on here over the past few days people seem to find Lukaku dispensable after 4 in 4 in the league.

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

            Jesus is keeping pace for cheaper.. money is tight

      3. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane: 29 25 21
        Lukaku: 25 18 10 15 17

        Both good and reliable. Kane better average.

      4. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        In just a couple of gameweeks time the fixtures for United from an attacking perspective are about to get extremely difficult.. games we will be very compact behind the ball and looking to counter.. my guess is quite a number of people will be looking to ship Lukaku for that run.. those that have ditched now for a more than capable replacement may find themselves ahead of the curve.. stranger things have happened

      5. ScotDougie
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Non Kane owner I guess lol

    10. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think your regret is because of the hit. You transferred in 3 players but they're almost forgotten and the overall impression is you transferred out Lukaku for a hit. It just makes it sound worse. Had you done Lukaku & Gabbiadini to Jesus and Firmino for free, I doubt you'd be stressing it this much.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years

        Hit doesnt bother me at all.

        Think Davies will repay it over Bertrand easily

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

      I also imagine we'd be having a very different conversation about the two of them if Lukaku had scored that penalty and Kane hadn't scored that cross.

      Such small margins but that would have meant Lukaku 5 goals and Kane only 1, and I think in that world no one would be getting Kane back in.

    12. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      -Don't think Everton are as bad as past couple of results suggest.
      -Even if he is allowed to take next penalty, not sure that is point-positive, for Luk owners.
      -BUT, Jesus and Firminho will definitely fail. (full disclosure: I went morata...I may be projecting)

    13. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      would have done the same moves

      but i did almost the same move myself so maybe a bit biased-)

      but looking at fixtures and i think Firmino will outscore Chic by a great deal and is a better capataincy option imho, though Kane is the natural choice it happens from time to time that you need other captaincy choices, looks sound by the look of it

    14. BananaNose Maldonado

            Yeah, I'm a fairly conservative player. I take few hits. I'm patient. But I regret two of my captain choices this season (see below). I'm amazed I don't have a 3 million OR at this point.

                Yeah, I'm not at all concerned. Top 1 million by GW5, top 500K by GW10, and top 100K by GW20 is always my goal. Then just play smart the second half.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, bad luck is one way of describing it. Crappy choices is another.

        I went Kane, Kane, Kane, and (to be punty) Tadic. If I could do it over again I still would have chosen Kane against Newcastle. That's a supportable decision. But it should have been Lukaku in GW2 and Kane in GW4.

        Marathon, not sprint, though, right?

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          OK, well Tadic was a crappy choice 😛

          As for the others, just bad luck. Same as me, couldn't have accounted for Lukaku missing that penalty, or Jesus getting subbed at 45 when City fell down to 10 men...

          Indeed, marathon, not a sprint.

    Lukaku and Fernandez to Jesus and Kolasinac (-4)...yay or nay?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nay.

    2. Pooodle
      • 14 Years

      No way

    3. Donhush
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Surely there has to be another way to get in Kolasinac?

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

        I can actually get Kolasinac for free next week, but I have a Kane-Jesus-Morata masterplan for GW8 and only 0.1 to spare, and both Jesus and Morata are likely to rise before then

      Not for a hit. At least watch Man Utd game first.

    Elliot, Krul
    Ake, Dawson, Davies, Suttner, Long
    Eriksen, Alli, Mkhi, Mooy, Carroll
    Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino

    Could go to something like:

    Elliot, Krul
    Davies, Kola, Keane, Ward, Wimmer
    Eriksen, Mkhi, Siggy, Atsu, RLC
    Lukaku, Jesus/Morata, Firmino

      Nope

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

        Cheers - think I might just end up doing something like Dawson and Ake out for Keane and Ward. Probably not changing enough heavy hitters to warrant the WC.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      First, you don't need a wildcard. Ake is the only thing that desperately needs changing for next week.

      Second, if you DO wildcard, please include Kane. It would be criminal not to.

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

        We'll see after this weekend 🙂

          Good luck.

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Yes I means different formation but
    A. Vardy and Kola
    B. Chica and Mkhi

    Thanks

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

      Don't like Chica so A

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

        And Vardy and Kola with up coming fixtures could be good choices?

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

          Yup. Firmino the obvious alternative to Vardy too

    2. Donhush

    Mendy or Kolasinac?

    1. KingNidge

      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kola

  9. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years

    Krul red flagged. What did I miss?

    1. Rafiki
      • 13 Years

      Playing Newcastle, can't play as loanee

  10. Rafiki
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wow has anyone looked at the current no. 1 global player. No chips played, and nailed his (c). Picked Firmino this week, no Kane... Hope he's wrong

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Could be luck, could be skill. For some of the other players in the top ten I looked at, it's definitely luck. One person is captaining Kante over Lukaku. Some others are doing ridiculous things. So just work on ur own plan and thinking as best u can.

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A) Pogba to Mahrez/Siggy
    B) Pogba and Chicha to 5m mid and Jesus/Morata (-4) and play 433 most weeks benching the 5m mid

    1. Alex_thekid
      • 6 Years

      Siggy n chico are about to drop just a heads up

  12. johnnybeefcake
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    anyone else believe mendy can offer the best value for a premium defender?? City look much tighter devensively this season and he seemed to get very far forward last week vs Liverpool and also assisted Sane

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

      He looks good but if I was going for a premium I'd probably try to find the extra for Alonso.

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

    Somehow controlled myself to take a hit to get rid of lukaku and get Kane in...Chasing last week's points have always hurt me...now feeling more relaxed going into the next gw with 2 fts... Hope this lot rockets me towards higher OR...

    Elliot

    Alonso | Hegazi | Cedric

    Mkhi | Eriksen(vc) | Salah | Atsu

    Lukaku | Morata(c) | Firmino

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

      Nice side, Hegazi could be an issue. keep an eye this weekend

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

        Yes he is in my watchlist...if he doesn't play then he's out if my team for sure..

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think buying Kane is chasing last week's points, but I don't disagree with what you decided to do either.

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

        I agree with u about Kane...but I was reluctant to get Lukaku out for a hit..anyway Kane is coming to my lineup from next week...now how do I get him in, that matters and for that the 2 fts will come in handy...

  14. johnnybeefcake
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on my current team (0.1 ITB)

    Foster (Elliot)

    Mendy Davies Cedric (Lowe Gamez)

    Salah Mkhi Choupo-Moting Richarlison (Carroll)

    Firmino Kane Lukaku

    I feel as though this team is quite solid and I can start to bank transfers

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

      on paper could be fine. Midfield could be an issue if the mid prices fail to pick up points. Hopefully Gross retains his form. one more game 3/5 returns for me and I'm sold

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

    Early ideas on this bunch?

    Foster Elliot
    Davies Cedric Daniels Suttner Long
    Eriksen Mkhi Salah Ritchie Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Mounie

    2 FT, 0.3 in bank.

    Cheers

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

      difficult to say but ditching Mounie stands out. Joselu maybe? He's destined to score vs Stoke too to tease you

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

        Mounie is the obvious out like you say. Had the chance to get him before deadline but thought double Toon was too much. Probably a hit next GW for a Mounie upgrade.

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

          for Mkhi

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Presume Firmino/Vardy priority in that 3rd striker spot?

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

        Could even go higher depending on results but lots of surgery. Part of me might WC but probably lost a 0.1 or 2.

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can't really offer a view before more game are played this weekend.

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

        Safe to say Mounie will fail 😛

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Cheers all.

    5. Bergkampgoal
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'd be tempted to downgrade Mounie to DCL/Ayew, get Kolasinac for Daniels and switch to 442 if you want to keep Kane Kaku up top.

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

        Cheers for the feedback.

  16. JJJ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Why didn't Suttner drop?

    I panicked and shipped him out for Simpson...

    Might WC based on how my team does.

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

      Could easily drop in 22 hours.

    Time for Wildcard?

    Foster
    Daniels Cedric Davies

    S: Speroni Moreno Richarlison Long

    1. Diva

      Nope.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

    6. Greenbackbøøg…

      Thanks fam!

  18. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Exact money to do: Ince + Daniels to Mkhi + Kola (-4).
    I really like it but I think I will miss it due to Mkhi's possible price rise tonight. I want to wait till after all players concerned have played.
    Otamendi would be my second choice if it's priced out.
    Any suggestion?

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think it's worth rushing. If you get priced out and Mkhi is the one you badly want, then Otamendi or Monreal are fine replacements for Kola. If you get priced out and Kola is the one you badly want, then Antonio is a fine replacement for Mkhi.

          Hey. So, here's the deal: I've known about this tournament/league, and look forward to being involved, but I honestly have no idea what it entails, what's required of me, etc. I only know that someone "bid" for me 🙂

          So, yeah, I figure I'll learn more soon.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years

            Yeah I only sussed it out yesterday, hopefully LR will let us know how we contact him to provide him with our teams each week

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years

        Still not sure about Mkhi yet.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Otamendi isn't a great pick, Maguire or Keane will at least offer you goal threat

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I agree with this. (Though I DO think Monreal could be sneaky decent with potential bonus.)

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks! Otamendi is just one option. McGuire is good too. Kola is who I want the most. Already have Davies and Bertrand. I thought of kicking out the latter but his fixtures after Man U are nice..

    3. Alex_thekid

    Um. Any thoughts on Pascal Grob? 1 goal 3 assists 5 bonus points in 2 matches?

    Playing Stoke home next week. I'm tempted alright

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

      2 goals, 2 assists 😉

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm still not sold. They were fortunate to score today, and they are so toothless in attack that I see a lot of zeros in their future. But it's hard to argue with his set piece delivery, and those fixtures are juicy. So, in sum: I'm confused 🙂

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

        what sold me was the fact that he led the Bundesliga in chances created for TWO YEARS RUNNING !! -- think about that.
        there simply has to be more to him than meets the eye as you watch him plodding around the field.

        he's on free kicks and corners, i saw immediately that he has great field vision, and he puts crosses right on people's heads. Hughton has the whole offense (what there is of it) set up to pivot around him, so he is their main man.

        i know it's Brighton, but what do you want for 5.5?

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Impressive stats those are.

          Still, he created one chance across the first two weeks this season, so I don't mind being a little tepid at the start to see if/when he would settle in to a different kind of league.

          Also, for 5.5 I want someone who doesn't look physically overmatched, and whose side will routinely see more than 30% of possession. Is that a blind spot of mine - that I tend to prefer players who pass my own subjective eye test? Probably. But I still won't be bringing him in 🙂

  22. Sulk

    So. Rank 47k. Decided to hit the WC button midweek. Made the initial transfers. Planned to change it a million times more before the Friday deadline. Wife goes into labour on Wednesday. Come Friday evening I realise I missed the deadline. What an idiot! But at least I get to sit here every night at 4 in the morning with screaming baby in arm and think about it while I watch road wars.

    Hey, what is the difference between TV and SV, TV is what you can spend, right? After removing all players from the team?

    1. Diva

      Nope, other way round, SV is what you have to spend to buy a new squad if you remove all your players.

      Nah, TV is the gross value, SV is what you can spend

    Best Willian replacement under 7m?

      Alonso

        I think it's best to divert the cash into defence and get one of alonso kolasinac or Davies. Nothing in midfield catches the eye at that price

    Atsu/Groß rotation in a 433 anyone? They rotate nicely for several weeks. This would cost me -4

    Foster/Elliot
    Alonso Kola Davies Jones
    Eriksen Mkhi (Atsu/Groß)
    Kane Firmino Jesus

    GK (Atsu/Groß) Carroll Mbemba

      Lets see how Atsu play...

      I like it. I sort of prefer Antonio with a Choupo/Brady rotation, but it's an interesting approach.

    Hi, which one is better options:

    A. Lukaku + Joselu + max 4.7m def
    B. de Jesus + Rashford + 3.9m def/bench fodder

    Thanks.

    1. Holmes

      A

    Did Mane to Mahrez, what can go wrong? 😛

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

      You might be ahead of the curve.

      On serious note, does anyone else think that their are not enough midfield options to pick from? (decent midfielders that is)

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

        There are midfield options, but the mid-range price bracket is a bit of a wasteland at the minute.

      Quite a lot when you don't have the Chopper 😉

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

        I think Antonio is the pick of the bunch. Ramsey maybe, if he's nailed. Otherwise it's all dross.

    Would you have played Kiko fermina or ward this week? I am playing Kiko but not sure how it's gonna pan out

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years

      Play Fermina. No Bad K for Citeh. Silva is a decent manager.

    Is Vardy taking pens now?He took it from Mahrez last week without a word.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Someone suggested it was because he won the pen. Stay with Firmino.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, I wonder if it's punishment for Mahrez's antics during the window?

    Will maguire surpass groß 7 pts?

    Benched groß here, and disappointed 🙁

      Always a chance with a goal-threat defender v a 'poor' team
