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.

      Eriksen dropping in price must be a result in people wanting 3 big hitters. So as a result can not afford two bigish midfielders.

      It's very kneejerky. I'm keeping as is very consistent and good run of fixtures

        his expected assists arent as impressive as i'd like from a hub creative midfielder from a team like spurs

        1. RubberDucky
            6 years, 4 months ago

            He is also getting goals tho.

            1. samaael

              3 goals. xg of 2. Not great.

        2. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years

          Nope, also because of Salah, Coutinho, Sane, Pogba now somehow being preferred over him...

        3. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          They are probably selling for Sane, Salah or Pogba

        4. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I guess it is bcs of Salah, Sane and Hazard.

          Spurs have looked terrible, Kane seems to be carrying an injury, Eriksen playing deeper and sharing set pieces with the wing backs, 4 blanks in a row for Eriksen, plenty of mid options cheaper than his 9.5m that are actually scoring. Hazard is looking an option again too.

          That is why he is being dropped. That said, I would probably hold for the WB game if I had him.

        6. Pep says

          Don't think people are going 3 up top.

          Sané, Salah, Cout, Haz, KdB, Sané, Sterling, Silva.. 3 of these in midfield means no room for Eriksen.. Enough heartache having Kane captain at the moment without having essentially a 3rd premium asset in a team struggling to score goals

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

          You'd have to keep for the next game, but I can see why he's being sold. Salah, Coutinho, Sané, Sterling, KDB, Hazard are all currently better similarly priced options. Likewise Groß, Choupo and Richarlison to name a few on fire and consistent cheapies. Doesn't leave a lot of space for Eriksen on current form.

        8. J T
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Not at all, the premium mids are delivering way more points on a more consistent basis for less money.

          I dropped him for Sane 2wks ago to make up a midfeild of, Salah Sane Haz Choupo D.Silva - I'd have another if I had the space

      2. Pjanić At The Disco
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Which option moving forward?

        A) Naughton + Choupo + Lukaku
        B) Alonso + Hazard + Niasse

        1. Jayv807
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          B from next week

          1. Pjanić At The Disco
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            cheers mate, Alonso + Hazard + Morata overkill from GW14 onwards?

            1. Jayv807
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              I have all 3 already, so I hope not!!

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                FYI I had Haz a few weeks, got Morata and Alonso last week. But if I didn’t have any of them yet, I’d probably wait till next week.

      3. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        After a horrible 39 point GW, I had to activate my Wildcard and gone from:
        Foster Hart
        Trippier Mee Lascelles Jones Dunk
        Eriksen Gross Silva Doucoure Loftus-Cheek
        Kane Aguero Vardy

        New Team: 3-5-2
        Pope Elliot
        Trippier Mee Lascelles Dunk Malone
        Hazard Salah Pogba Gross Zaha
        Morata Kane McBurnie

        The defense is a bit of a concern and I'm thinking of getting rid of Trippier and upgrading Malone and possibly Lascelles.

        Thoughts?

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          McBurnie is a waste. Just get Niasse, you'll need him over the holiday period.

          Trippier to Daniels
          McBurnie to Niasse

          Ditch Malone, Lascelles, etc. need to go.

          Get a City mid.

        2. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          You need better bench for December. Upgrade McBurnie and Malone. Trippier might also get rotated.

          Zaha to RLC/Hughes/Carroll/Milivojevic. upgrade McBurnie to Niasse. Malone to 4.5 nailed def.

        3. Ed
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Will focus on the negatives:
          1) No City seems ludicrous.
          2) You're also going to need your bench in weeks to come - Malone and McBurnie won't play.
          3) Trippier still rotation risk

        4. Norman Conquest
          • 10 Years

          defence needs work no city cover either

        2. Jayv807
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          West Brom looked absolutely terrible, Eriksen may come good against them. However, I ditched for Sane last week.

          Keep Silva, he’s getting returns and has been so close to scoring. He is going to get a big game soon I think.

      5. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Fabianski, Elliot
        Jones, Daniels, Moreno, Mee, Mariappa
        Salah, Sterling, Zaha, Richarlison, Carroll
        Aguero, Kane, Morata

        I like my mids but want Pogba so maybe it's time to change for 3-5-2 esp when Carroll is dropped?

        A) Carroll, Aguero > Pogba, Niasse/Wilson (+plenty ITB)
        B) Aguero > Lukaku and bank FT
        C) Sterling, Aguero > Pogba, Lukaku

        Thoughts on Coutinho? 8.8, low ownership, on set pieces, 3G 2A in 482 minutes, amazing fixtures, lovely little player... What's not to like? A Pool double up has historically been great, even more so now.

        1. goriuanx

          Could be his turn for pens too

            Reckon Lil Bobby is still on them

        2. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years

          so many good (cheap too) mids..not sure about double up

          1. Over Midwicket
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I'd much rather shift cash into mid to afford the likes of Salah, Cout, Pogba, City mid than cheap out on Gross/Choupo (saying this as a Gross and Choupo owner). Way more consistent and can explode (plus captaincy options).

        3. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Great option. Looking at it.

      7. Sickboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Is Abraham to C Wilson a sound move or do you think Wilson will be rotated too often?

        Seems too obvious!

        1. samaael
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          i dont believe wilson will be rotated personally.

        2. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          he being nailed is the problem but thinking about gettin him to have strong bench player for busy time

        3. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Wilson has always been number one. But yes I'm sure he'll get the most occasional rest with the plethora of strikers Bournemouth are hoarding.

        4. Sune
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sound move.

          1. Sickboy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers. Again it's all about having a decent bench for those benched weeks.

      8. Please Help I Don't Kn…

        Kane to Morata? Fed up with him 🙁

          not this gw

        3. Sickboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          I'd give him one more chance.

        4. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Next week is the week. Kane has a WBA likely in huge disarray. If he can't do it v them, everyone's going to sell.

          1. Jayv807
            • 7 Years

            Very much agree with this

      9. istanbul05

        Not happy with my team but is save the best option here with £1.8m itb?

        Elliot,
        Daniels, Otamendi, Naughton,
        Eriksen, Salah, Richarlison, RLC,
        Kane, Kaku, Vardy.

        Subs: Fabianski, Mee, King, Mbemba.

        Thanks.

            Jesus and Kun will be a minefield, but Sane, Silva, KDB are all nailed.

            Sane KDB could be a delicious source of points.

        Who should be the priority to remove out of these duds/risks:

        a) Stones
        b) Sterling
        c) Carroll
        d) Vardy

        Thinking a) and b) to Pogba and Mustafi (-4) if Sterling starts in champs league

        1. arndff_

          A) for sure...

          Yes but I’d hold off Haz until next week with Alli having WBA too...

        3. jia you

          I shifted Vardy but held Alli, would hate to miss out on a haul v WBA who have been shocking of late! This move can wait a week with Haz visiting Anfield

        one of the guys among the top of my ML has had 2 arsenal defenders plus 2 chelsea defensive players all season, has kept firminho all season, kane/ kaku/ aguero never entered his team, no chips used , no wc as yet, his first season and hes 21k in the world. and here i am spending 30-40 hours a week on fpl...fml...

        1. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Alonso Azp Monreal Kolasinac would give you a huge total if you'd had them all season.

          things will regress/improve

          1. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Azpi and Alonso are only going to improve imo

            1. samaael
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              wasnt really referring to them as individuals

        3. darrellb
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          he had kola bellirin courtois and luiz(changed to christensen this week)

      16. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Play Gross vs United away? Or 1 of Naughton or Tom Carroll at home to Bournemouth? Got Daniels, SET and Jones too

        What has my life come to? LOL

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          SET is De Gea, autocorrect

        2. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Play naughton

      17. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        which is a good move(with city 3 easy fixture its a rotation risk)

        eriksen>sterling or sane

        already have silva

        1. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sané. Pep essentially said he has to play until Mendy comes back.

        2. samaael
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          probably sane. I have sterling though

      18. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thought to roll my FT, but Ben Mee's about to rise again. I have exact money to do Naughton > Mee, so it has to be done, aight?

        DDG

          I'd save, figure him in with 2 frees next week

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            And what will be your second FT there?

      19. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Pope
        Davies Jones Daniels
        Hazard Eriksen Salah RLC
        Kane(c) Jesus(v) Wilson

        (Elliot Wimmer Ward Carroll)

        Uncharacteristic (for this season) early free transfers played - G2G?

        Pope > Elliot? Thinking with double BUR defence, this could be a sneaky opportunity to pick up points on everyone who'll bench their single BUR defender if they do come though...Elliot will concede to Charli-boy too surely?

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Pope is set and forget. Elliott is useless (and Watford will probably score 2 or 3).

        2. CaptainKeita
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          How is Pope set and forget? As soon as Heaton is back, Pope will be forgotten for all we know. OTH, Elliot will be there until they sign someone else.

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Set and forget til Heaton returns perhaps?

            1. Legomané
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Great fixtures > GW19

          2. Over Midwicket
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Heaton back sometime in January, I'd take my chances with Pope for the next 10+ GWs

      20. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Kinda weird question but I have two good value mids and need to ditch one to afford some of the premiums spring up. Who do I DITCH?

        A) Gross
        B) Choupo-Moting

        Thinking B should go as A can be rotated for the good fixtures.

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Not a fan of B, flatters to deceive. Basically the Joselu of Stoke. Failed to score a goal as effectively striker in 10 games this season.

        2. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          B

        3. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Agree with B - Groß is the best value of all players, and should be a season keeper,

      21. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Too much choice in midfield this season, and too little in attack. Pretty chuffed with current midfield of

        Salah - Sané - Silva - Richarlison - Groß

        Is there room for likes of Pogba, Hazard, Couthino here? Classic case of value over total points. Might be tempted to do Silva -> Pogba, or swap Richarlison for him, even.

        1. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Very nice. Can't go wrong with any of them. I see Salah and Hazard as genuine captaincy options compared to the City boys and the cheapies.

          Would probably make Haz a priority for that reason.

          1. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Silva to Haz deserves consideration. Lack of haul potential may make Silva expendable. But Silva's stats are good, will be interesting to see what he can do against Huds.

            1. noquarternt
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah this is it. I've got Salah Sané Sterling Silva at the moment and at least 2 of the City lads get at least an assist every week. Will probably keep for this upcoming run. Might make my 5th Hazard with some big cash shifts.

            2. Jayv807
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Silva has come ridiculously close to scoring the last few, he is so due a goal or two

        2. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          5 man midfield seems the way to go currently. I’m looking at
          Sane salah Hazard Richarlison Pogba

          1. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Now that's expensive - need to go 4 - 5 - 1 , or cheap in defense then

            1. Man Chest Hair United
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Cheap in defence with Kane Morata Niasse

              1. Pompel
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Could be golden

        3. darrellb
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          thats an ideal midfield. stick morata up front and u can somehow get rid of the urge for haz too. maybe silve out if youre desperate for pog.

      22. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Double up on Azp and Alonso after this GW if you like lots of points. Heard it here first.

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Not sure I heard it hear first. Chelsea have great fixtures though. Has Morata both worth considering as well

        2. samaael
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          a lot of money. christensen could be worth the risk

          1. noquarternt
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Not really a lot of money. Around 14 mill and you'd be reasonably expecting at least clean sheets from most of their upcoming games. 12 points a game for 14 mill with the fairly regular goal and assist thrown in...

            1. samaael
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              whatever the cash. I cant afford it in my structure

              1. noquarternt
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah fair enough.

      23. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Too weak at the back?

        Pope Elliott
        Daniels Moreno Mee Yedlin mebempa

        Hazard Salah Sane Richarlison Pogba

        Kane Morata Niasse

        1. Super Silva Haze
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          No

          1. Man Chest Hair United
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks allows a power front 7 with a Richarlison and Niasse as rotators

        2. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Yes

        3. Norman Conquest
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          way too many newcastle at the back

          1. Man Chest Hair United
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Only ever play 1 max. Yedlin will go eventually

      24. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thoughts here? 1.4 ITB. Might save to do Eriksen > Hazard next week.

        Elliott
        Otamendi Jones Naughton
        Salah Eriksen Sterling Richarlison RLC
        Kane Aguero

        Foster Niasse Mee Moreno

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Solid plan. Hazard from next week looks prime

        2. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sounds like a good move

        3. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Might as well get it done with and start Niasse instead of Agüero.

      25. Super Silva Haze
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy to Niasse
        Sterling to Pogba

        Do i do these 2 transfers for a -4 ?

        Many Thanks have a nice day.

        1. samaael
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          id be tempted to keep sterling

        2. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Not for -4 just do sterling to Pogba if he starts in champions league otherwise hold both and do both for free next week

        3. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I get the Pogba attraction, next two games are good.
          But after those two, Id want Sterling more than Pogba I think

          I would keep both Vardy and Sterling - Vardy will score at West Ham

      26. jia you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Who are your top 3 transfer targets at this moment in time?
        Mine are:
        1. Salah (or possibly Coutinho if I can't make that work).
        2. Silva
        3. Pogba

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Hazard

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I've just got Morata but yeah Hazard equally good option if you can afford him.

        2. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Hazard Azp Coutinho

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            presumably you already have Salah, contemplating a Pool mid dbl up?

            1. noquarternt
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yes, I've got Salah Sané Sterling Silva TC. Think TC to Hazard is my main aim. Obviously an expensive move, but got plenty of blanking strikers to get rid of.

              You need to get Salah asap, he's amazing.

              1. Pieterke30
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Easier to get rid of Silva for Hazard, imo

                If one can afford, seems to me that the ideal mid 5 is Salah, Sané, Hazard, Pogba/Sterling, RLC

                And if you have the money, can upgrade RLC to Gray/Richarlison/Gross

                Spending more than that in midfield does not seem realistic to me

              2. jia you
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                I know, been kicking myself as I went Coutinho who got injured straight away then got in Alli for him instead of Alli (who has got nothing for me in 2 games) who I need to hold now fr the WBA game at least 🙁

        3. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          1. Hazard or Alonso to triple up Chelsea (have Azpi and Morata)
          2. Pogba
          3. D. Gray if I get rid of Richarlison; otherwise a cheap GK to save some money (GKs are Foster and Gomes since my WC in GW3 - I know...)

          If I wanted to start three strikers every week, Wilson would be one of my top priorities

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Wilson was so tempting me also but decided to go for a power front three, for the first time this season, instead just as almost everyone else on here seems to be doing the opposite!

        4. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sane but I'll save this week so it has to wait.

      27. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Fell from 28k to 40k because of Groß & auto subs. 🙂

        Some relief for non owners now as he faces United, Pool & Spurs in the next 5.

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          He is one that I thought would fade away but fair play to owners he is great value

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            yup tough fixtures coming up though.

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Was hoping I could actually make some ground still with Duffy to play. Was surprised I dropped that from 19k to 28k. Must be close out there.

        3. jia you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sold him this week for the magic bean but Pascal has certainly served me well, my best buy of the season so far (not that that would be hard, the disasters that I've being contending with)!

      28. samaael
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        ppl thinking christensen is beginning to be nailed on?

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Conte said he deserves his spot but we wlll need the full squad during this period. Not nailed but still maybe worth the money

        2. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          It's tempting...but Luiz is still there...

        3. samaael
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          christensen is a very very very good defender. Was in the top 5 defenders in a strong bundesglia competition for 2 seasons.

      29. Van Djik-Head
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        My current team is:

        Gomes - Pope
        Jones - Vertonghen - Ward - Moreno - Mbemba
        Salah - Sane - STERLING - Richarlison - CHOUPO
        JESUS - Kane - Niasse

        Over the next two gameweeks I am tempted to go down one of two routes (or just put Morata in for now):

        Route 1: (Chelsea orientated, with one weaker link)
        Morata > JESUS
        Hazard > STERLING
        Loftus-Cheek > CHOUPO

        Route 2: (More diverse with a Man United player, no weak links IMO)
        Morata > JESUS
        Pogba > STERLING
        Zaha > CHOUPO

        What do you reckon?

      30. JM11
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        What to do with this lot? Planned on going Wimmer > Alonso and Kaku > Morata in GW14.
        1FT 2.0 itb
        Elliott (Foster)
        Jones Stones* Ward (Wimmer Dunk)
        Pogba Richarlison Silva Salah RLC
        Kane Kaku (Abraham)

        Stones on the top of the priority list this week, was thinking stones > otamendi, but thinking maybe kompany has more goal threat if he can stay healthy.
