Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Bournemouth

Another year another Gameweek.

We take a trip to the seaside for the opening Premier League match of 2018, easing ourselves back into Fantasy Football action with a clash between Brighton and Bournemouth.

Our interest in this match-up is somewhat limited, with a clean sheet likely to be the desired end result for many managers.

The Seagulls have impressed of late with their resilience, recording a shut-out in three of their last four Gameweek outings.

Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk are the key figures in their back four – they are owned by 3.5% and 3.4% ahead of today’s contest.

Pascal Gross remains their most popular asset. The German is still part of 17.7% of squads and hinted at a revival in his Fantasy output with a goal in Gameweek 19 which ended a run of six matches without a return.

Bournemouth go into today’s contest off the back of a win over Everton but without injured key men Josh King and Ryan Fraser, while Nathan Ake is rested to the bench.

Fantasy interest in the Cherries is limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned asset as part of 6.7% of squads. He has lost over 336,000 owners since Gameweek 16.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It's actually criminal that one of Dunk or Duffy isn't in the defender watchlist

      Report it to the authorities

    2. Old Man

      Dunk has all the makings of having Richard Dunne's expertise (or bad luck) for own goals

      But Dann and Daniels were for weeks even they are joke players this season...

    Son owned by 38.5% teams in top 10k more than eriksen and Alli !!!

    Salah sold by 23.3% teams in top 10k ..

    These numbers wew

    1. Tim Canterbury

      Smart moves

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      v surprised as eriksen seems the reliable move

    3. Sharkytect

      Son can be explosive and is the main source of goals if kane is out...I get the logic.

    Too much vino and beer last night amongst that crowd. No atmosphere at all at the moment.

    Those TC percentages so low. Like captaining Kane when everyone else captains Tom Carroll

    After a quick scan of rival teams. I'm in big trouble this week. TCs & free hits everywhere. I went with no hit and fielded Son, Arnautovic & Kane (c)

    I know it's too late but thoughts on this lot?
    Took a 12 point hit:

    Adrian
    Alonso | Otamendi | Mee | Ogbonna
    Son (VC) | Eriksen | Arnie | Sterling
    Kane (C) | Aguero

    Elliot | RLC | Depoitre | Mariappa

    Decided against TC in the end, so hoping Son and Eriksen do me proud!

    Thanks

    Wow, Salah down to 50% ownership already. That's probably enough for 3 or 4 drops if spread out, but such rapid fire fixutres has benefitted us holders. He can only lose 0.3 (so 9.8m) before 13th Jan when hopefully he's fit.

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Timing eorked out well for us holders can't see him losing more than 0.2.

    3. nevins84
      • 11 Years

      I bought him for 9m.. I couldn't sell ... Id want him straight back in...

      No

      Yes he is.. 4 goals oncoming..

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I think no. Llorente and Lamela to start for Kane and Son.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years

        Poch throwing in the towel?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Swansea are crap. West Ham are also crap (except when parking the bus), but Swansea are worse. Doesn't need Kane to beat Swansea (nor Son). Great game to bring Wanayama in too to get him back to full fitness.

      2. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        I do think Lamela will have a part to play this week.

    7. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Still feel disgusted about last GW. 7 starters and huge red arrow

      Hopefully can go from 3k to 2k at least with 5 DGWers

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Small dGW are always measured in phases though. The exit strategy or even outcome is just as important.

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

      Note for all Tottenham midfield / defence owners.
      Top 10k ownership including all Spurs defenders + Lloris = 29.1%. So if they keep a CS the average goes up by 1.16pts, including bonus it's probably around 1.60pts.
      If you own 1 Spurs mid you will drop slightly but if you own 2 Spurs mids you actually want them to keep a CS as you are going to gain a few places (unless you have WHU attackers).

      With the overall average it's about the same. 32.5% own a Spurs defender/Lloris.

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        U havent included he spurs mids for eo for cleanie points

        It's 32.5+ total eo of the 3 spurs mids which should be over 100

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          So 32.5% get 4 points plus another 80% smethig get 1

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

          You're right. 😀 Totally forget them...

        Enough to get a green. Well that's more a hope than expectation.

    11. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone else wondering about Adrien Silva (LEI)? Not included in the game yet, but was a great prospect at SCP. Surely he isn't ready right away, but Leicester have looked brighter under Claude Puel. And Iheanacho hasn't his trust, same goes for Slimani. Okazaki is a hard worker for tough matches. Do you think he'll be used alongside Vardy? and for what price? I'm thinking 7.0

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        6 and maybe

      2. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Leicester's last win was 6 games ago.

        I would steer clear because he will tighten up

      3. PurpleCobras
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He's a midfielder. You're not thinking of Andre Silva are you?

        1. Jekori
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah i do, my bad. The fellow that got signed a couple seconds too late last transfer window. Was a good player at fifa, in his league and for his country already. You never know how they adapt to the PL.
