Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Stoke

3,340 Comments
Share

Gameweek 12 comes to its conclusion at the Amex Stadium this evening as Brighton entertain Stoke at 8pm.

For the hosts, Pascal Gross has been the standout asset in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Sitting in over 19% of FPL squads, the playmaker has averaged 7.2 points per match (ppm) in front of his own fans – when on the pitch, he’s played a part in 83% of their home goals.

Four strikes in the Seagulls’ last three league outings have brought Glenn Murray (5.8) onto our radars as a potential budget frontman – over 112,000 acquired him for Gameweek 12.

Up against a defence that has conceded at least twice in six of their last eight, Murray is the most captained player for tonight’s encounter, handed the armband by 6,868 managers compared with Gross’ 3,904 backers.

The Potters’ two most popular players, Eric Choupo-Moting (5.8%) and Xherdan Shaqiri (5.3%), have struggled on their travels, with just an away assist between them (for the latter) in five road trips.

Yet the duo’s home form means that, overall, they’ve still averaged a decent 4.0 and 4.5 ppm respectively this season. And clashes with Palace and Swansea in the next three could warrant further attention for the midfield pair.

Brighton, though, have been fairly resilient at home – league leaders Manchester City, in a 2-0 win in Gameweek 1, are the only side to have scored more than one goal away to Chris Hughton’s men.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Brighton got turned over by the ref there. Stonewall penalty and some other decisions going against them. Awful defending mind you.

      Yeah Mason has had a night to forget but Brighton just cannot come with Stokes aerial power which us surprising as they have quite physical centre backs

      Come on granny, a bit of balance!

      It was definitely a penalty but Murray is a very luck boy.

      Reckless challenge at full pace and completely intentional.

      If that was Shawx I know what you would be saying!

    Oh dear me, you can't defend like that! Stoke win a corner from the kick-off, Brighton captain Bruno turns his back on the ball for some reason, it hits him on the back, loops up and Kurt Zouma buries the loose ball from about two yards out. Smashed in the header.

          He gets assists too.
