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.

    As a Kan (C), what should I be hoping for?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Lol. These comments are weird.

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        It's true! I didn't TC

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          He’s your captain, what do you think you want from him?

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Blank?

          2. Fred54

      2 more hat tricks.

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        But then I'm losing 34 on TCers

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          You can make that up in the remaining 16 gw's and you will have a TC over them. Points is points. Get them.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Another 17 points be a good start

    4. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years

      As a kan (c) you should hope for nothing..but kun might score a few..

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Kan=Kane

    So many mentions about the upcoming VAR ...

    I'm not against it at all but I'm sticking by what I said...it will only turn out to be another layer of controversy....As is happening in the Bundesliga every week. At the end of the day it's a decision made by a bloke watching a telly....not scientific at all....

    http://www.dw.com/en/var-takes-center-stage-in-the-bundesliga-again/a-41439161

    All good fun for somebody like me who actually likes a bit of controversy in sport.

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      won't stop Mourinh & his conspiracy theories.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly...

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

      that's a load of cobblers though isn't it. people will always fixate on the failures of new technology instead of actually looking at the trend and the trend overall is that it'll be far more accurate

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        No it's not cobblers....just as Tisza states above.

        And don't forget a ref in the SKY studio thought that tackle on KDB only deserved a yellow...You could show that to 20 refs and get a 50/50 split decision on red or yellow...

        So look forward to the continuing controversies...just like is happening in the Bundesliga...

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

          it IS cobblers.

          given a sample with a large n VAR will comfortably be more accurate

          you're looking forward to controversy because you like controversy, not because you want a progressive measure

  19. MTPockets

      Oh Dunk. So it begins...

      Guardiola on Silva's return date - ​​"I don't know. When he is ready, he will come back. But his personal life is always more important than any other situation. So, when he comes back it's because he's ready, welcome. That is what we have to do."

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

        So if he starts he is welcome

      1-1 already.

      You do spoil us Lady FPL.

      My rival brought in two Brighton defenders on a free hit 😀

    • Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Daniels screamer incoming

    • Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Big Dunk and Big Duffs have nothing on Shindlers List and Big Lossl.

    • Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      if this game could just stay like this that would be perfect
