Dugout Discussion

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

    Abraham out for?

    A) Wilson
    B) Murray
    C) Niasse
    D) Keep

    1. mosmof
      • 11 Years

      Niasse for me. Everton are scoring again and fixtures look plum.

    2. asquishypotato

      6 years, 5 months ago

      Similar issue as me.

      If you are ok with 4 good fixtures and then iffy after then wilson.

      If you are thinking 3-5-2 then niasse

      1. hannesdela
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm yeah Wilson looks the most tempting to me. Got 0.0 in the bank so can't really upgrade RLC to Richarlison/Choupo-Moting for a 5-man-midfield.

        I'd go for Wilson in your Rooney-case too. 4 fixtures might not be long, but they do look like great fixtures and I hope I will be able to replace him after those 4 games or play RLC instead if necessary.

      Murray

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        *Meant Wilson goodness knows why typed Murray!

  2. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bring in for Rooney?

    Like Callum Wilson but 4 fixtures doesn't seem like long.
    Niasse could be an option but he could get a ban.

    Very undecided.

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

      Wilson good option for price,differential,form and fixtures

  3. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Wikipedia removed Chopper's assist. They must have reviewed the Opta footage. Unlucky owners.

    1. Poppa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      This only adds to the conspiracy IMO

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Obviously they don't own him
      I have a feeling it might be re-added 🙂

      The page history is getting hilarious 😆
      https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Maxim_Choupo-Moting&action=history

      22:36 - Choupo assist
      22:40 - Mark not giving the assist!...
      22:43 - Assist gone

  4. jimmy.floyd

    Captain?

    A Kane
    B Kaku

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

      I'm capping Kane, you can cap Lukaku.

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

        Can I captain Kane too?

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

          Seeing as you asked nicely. Nobody else though. He can be our differential.

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

            😀

            I must warn you. I'm pretty sure I've captained every blank and missed every explosion

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Kanes final chance in my team. Might as well hand him the armband

  5. lilmessipran

    Any news/update on a possible ban for Niasse?

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

      You will probably find out tomorrow if the charlison is anything to go by

    Do we think Niasse is nailed?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, not really. Wouldn't take much for him to fall out of favour I'd say

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not nailed, but close

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      for as long as Unsworth is still the manager he probably is

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

    Choupo moting with with palace away and hen 2 home games. Has 2 goals 3 assists at home this season. Owners keeping?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd imagine so

    2. tutankamun
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. Rage transferring him out.

      #assistgate

    3. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I was looking to sell before the game, most probably going to keep now.
      Against Palace next game.

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

      I sold him last night!

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

      No way am I selling...he's awesome!

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

      I have him, but next 4 fixtures are: cpl, LIV, SWA, spurs.

      Not easy.

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

    Is there that much difference between Mee and Lowton?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. Same age, similar height and weight.

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

      Racist.

    4. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mee better for bonus

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

      Lowton is a fullback...likely to get more assists

      Mee is a centreback...more CBI and bonus in general. Will get the odd headed goal.

      If they're the same price, Mee is preferable

  10. Viper

    Ended up on 57. Acceptable I think given the damage done saturday.

    Now to keep my cool and save a FT before loading up on Chelsea in gwk 14

    1. Yozzer

      Seriosly I could have posted the EXACT same post. I think we are sharing the same brain

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Clever man so 😉

        Or woman of course..

        1. Yozzer
          • 6 Years

          Or both? It's 2017.

            Perhaps

    Clattenburg: Niasse's Everton dive deserves retrospective action

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    For GW13:
    Fab (Elliot)
    Azpi, Jones, Ota (Ward, Duffy)
    Salah, Sane, Richarlison, Gros (RLC)
    Kane, Niasse, Jesus

    Already knee-jerked to Tammy > Niasse. With Kun likely back, was thinking Jesus > Kaku or Morata, but I need a sanity check: Surely nothing worth a hit, right?

  14. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 5 months ago

    As a Choupo-Moting owner I'm absolutely raging.
    I never watched the game but I've just received a telegram from Jombie13 clearing showing it's an assist.
    It's been verified by a fax from the aforementioned Jombie with a very well hand drawn picture of the incident.
    I demand justice

          Sounds like a question for the scoutcast 😉

            Can we ask about Lord Lucan or is that going off-topic?

          2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years

            No, they are mainstream now and have to go along with the Illuminati narrative.

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

          Will it reveal that the bullet that killed JFK was shot by Johnny Evans but ricocheted off Gareth McAuley's hair?

          1. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years

            It did miss Choupo then?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            More likely to be Lukakus erse.

  15. CloudSky

    Bonus points added. But why does Choupo have only 10? Will they update him?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      That's mine, backed with Richarlison, Choupo and now Callum Wilson and a mean defence

    2. mosmof

    C) Moreno and Hazard

    1. mikess

      A for me

  25. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Gwk 14 potential transfers for - 8 in my 'mini wildcard' move

    Aguero, Vardy, Sterling & Jones - > Morata, Niasse, Hazard, Alonso

    3 rotation risks + out of sorts Vardy out for 4 in form players with great fixtures. What could possibly go wrong 🙂

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I like it, very good moves imo

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

      Just Aguero to Morata and Jones to Alonso for now; Vardy vs. West Ham too good an opp to miss IMO

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm saving a FT this week hopefully and these would be my moves for gwk 14 as it stands

    3. Viper

      Good God, those Chelsea fixtures..

      1. mir
        • 14 Years

        I like it and doing something similar. Teamsheet tomorrow for Man City crucial. If Aguero starts you still keeping for weekend?

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I might jump ship to Morata if he plays 90

          1. mir
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Yep again will be doing the same. If he plays 70? Tough decision ahead.

    4. Jolly Good

      Another 7 goal from city

  26. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I'm afraid after they add bonus and make autosubs there is no way of Choupo getting his assist. It's a shame, how could Opta not see it...

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

      It's done already..get over it

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Autosubs haven't been made yet, and the tables aren't recalculated. But I don't have high hopes anyway.
