Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Stoke

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

      Stones and Hune to Daniels and a 4.5 imo.
      That way you can handle the occasional Jones lack of appearance

        Sounds good, lukaku to morata soon aswell?

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

          If you want, Kaku hasn't really done anything wrong though! But I have Morata and happy

          Would obviously wait this week 🙂

    Any idea who's getting baps and when it normally gets added?

    1. Jsadler95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Choupo and Gross both +3
      Izquierdo and Zouma both +1

      1. Jsadler95
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        And will get added later. Would assume everything will be updated by like midnight or so as they'll also have to do auto subs and vice captain updates tonight.

      You can see the baps below your teams points in the fixtures. For example click Brighton 2-2 Stoke and a drop down menu shows the baps

        Hulk this.

  4. Jsadler95
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Do you think it's worth bringing in Mee for Bailly before his price rise this week and potentially losing the united CS rather than Lowton next week? Is there that big of a difference between the two? (Only have enough for a 4.6

    1. Jason Bourne
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe, Baily might not start

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mee has Arsenal next...

      1. Jsadler95
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I realise, but I won't be able to afford him after he price rises hence why it'll have to be lowton next week instead

        1. The Wise Owl
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Who is your goalkeeper?

          1. Jsadler95
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Pope.

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

    Early captain thoughts?

    Was thinking Kane but after that Brighton performance and Lukaku's ability to score at home against the minnows, I think he edges it.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane.

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      the second we look past kane, he braces it seems

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would go for Kaku if I owned him

    4. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I don't think there will be much in the points if you own both. May be 3-4 points either way. Not too much to worry about.

  6. Guba
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Switching to a 3-5-2 a few weeks ago has done me wonders, 92 points from this week.
    Because of this I'm now also heavily considering Kane -> Wilson/Niasse and just keeping on 1 big hitter forward (Morata).

    This would enable me to do GroB -> Sane this week also and Richarlison -> Cout/Mane/Erik the following.

    Thoughts?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Groß and Richarlison are consistent scorers, great value - do you really need to upgrade them? 🙂

      1. Guba
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        They've done me brilliantly however realistically both fixtures sour now. GroB is very unlikely to score points at Trafford whereas Sane can haul. Likewise Richarlison has United, Spurs and Burnley as his next 3 who are obviously solid at the back.

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Aye fair. I've not got the balls to go 4-5-1, but helped my rival get 102 points this week!

          1. Jsadler95
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Similar for me with Gross, he's done really well for me but fixtures aren't great now and rather have Hazard haha.

          2. Guba
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            I'd still play 3-5-2 just with only 1 big hitter striker, I'd play Wilson/Niasse too.

            Think if Kane plays midweek I might get rid, he just seems tired. 102 is fantastic.

    Pretty entertaining match on a Monday night game Champions League Tuesday and Wednesday night Europa League Thursday night and back to the Premier League Friday night.

    If Carlsberg done weeks...........

    1. FPL.team

    Glad I only have the honey monster within the Brighton defence...that D is so screwed!!!

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Had double went DDG for -4.

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years

        Lucky, a lot of folks will have Duffy Dunked their upcoming points down the Drain

  9. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So Pogba is price locked until next deadline. Does that mean he starts at zero and begins rising from there onwards or will he rise on Friday?

    1. Jsadler95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Good question, I'm interested in this as well. I'd assume starts at 0 but we shall see!

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I hope and then he doesn’t rise until Tuesday. Means no -4 as well

      2. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Just seen they start from 0%. Now need to hope Pogba rises steadily next week.

        1. Jsadler95
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Oh sweet thanks!

  10. All Hail K

    Worth changing Sterling -> Pogba for -4?

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Na I fancy a city big win, they've been tamed a touch recently. Expecting them to put 3 or 4 past HUD

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm thinking this but he is up against Huddersfield

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          City vs HUD. Pogba vs BHA

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years

      not for me

    3. Jebiga

      Wikipedia says it was a Chopper assist.

  14. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Whats the communities expectation of rotation of players over next weekend and the mid week game week.

  15. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen --> Sane
    For free, yes or no?
    Afraid of Sane rising price.
    Will use the funds to do Kun --> Kane next week
    Thanks.

    1. Guba
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would monitor tomorrow's game to see if Sane plays. If he's rested then personally I would hit the button and get him in.

    2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Do it then

  16. The Butch

    Do we feel that Niasse is nailed now?
    When will we know whether he will get banned?

    Is anyone afraid of Aguero going nuts ...... ?

    Can someone put me off thinking about doing Chalobah and Jesus to Wilson and Sané for a hit? It’s annoyingly tempting

  19. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have foster stinking up my team. do i hold for now in the hopes a new manager comes in and stabilizes? i also want to get a playing defender instead of mbemba.

    Foster & Mbemba to Speroni & a 4.6? yay or nay?

    Also how nailed is Speroni? isnt he like 60 years old?

  20. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Most have just watched tonights match. Perfect time to decide.

    If you can only have one, is it :- A. Choupo, or B. Gross?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Gross. He has consistency.

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      one out of position, one underpriced for a midfielder, one will have more shots in the box, one has more assist potential....its very close

    3. SilkySkills
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I’d pick depending on run of games

    4. Boetticher
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It's close. Over the next ten games, they'll get the same points. Choupo's cheaper, and he's properly up front, so pick him.

    5. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think its coming time to forget both Choupo and Gross. I might be wrong but it must be soon, this party aint going to last all season

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years

        No party lasts for the whole season
        Enjot it while it is on

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Need to turn Lukaku / Jesus + Gross / Richarlison + Jones / Maguire into Morata + Hazard/ Sane/ Pogba + Azpilicueta / Alonso over the next 2 gw

  22. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Fabianski
    Walker Jones Mee Daniels
    Sterling Richarlison Salah
    Kaku Kane Jesus

    Subs: Elliot, Tarroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    Which is more essential?

    A) Chalobah to RLC to have a good sub and hope Sterling plays vs Huddersfield

    B) Sterling to Pogba

    Pls say A 🙂

    1. Jebiga

    Thinking of a little Kane Vardy Choupo to Morata Niasse KDB -4 next week

    1. Jsadler95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      As class as De Bruyne is I still think he's overpriced. Can you not afford Hazard? Still think it's premature to remove Kane

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      dumping chouopo !?

    3. wulfrunian

      Why you want to sell Kane?

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dumping Choupo after his 10pt heroics tonight!?

      And dumping Kane ahead of facing whipping boys West Brom...you're inviting disaster on yourself.

      Even Vardy could run riot against West Ham given how low on morale/talent they are right now.

      Re-think! 😆

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not this week, next week

        Think Choupo is a donkey and Vardy/Leicester not doing enough

    5. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A bit sideways as the 3 your losing could easily outscore the ones you bringing in at s cost of 4 points

  25. Jsadler95
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Well caught the leader of my mini league by 50 points this week. 2 weeks ago he was 396th. Pretty chuffed. But I'm 4th and the 3 guys above me are all brothers!

  26. wulfrunian
