Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Man City

3,327 Comments
Share

Saturday’s events end on the south coast as Brighton make their Premier League debut and bid to follow the example set by Huddersfield Town following their victory at Palace.

But the Seagulls face a daunting task, with Premier League favourites Manchester City the visitors to the Amex Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men are bristling with prime Fantasy talent with Kevin De Bruyne owned by 31.6% of FPL managers in midfield, while both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero – owned by 13.4 and 11.4% respectively – start up front for City.

That trio are the first big captain assets in action today, with Aguero backed by 5.9% of managers with the armband, while De Bruyne is the skipper for 4.7% of managers and Jesus 4.3%.

In contrast, Brighton are something of a non-event from a Fantasy perspective. Their most popular assets – Uwe Hünemeier and Liam Rosenior are both owned as 4.0 enablers, while Anthony Knockeart – present in 2.3% of squads – joins them on the bench following a recent injury.

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

    The problem with owning either of Jesus or Aguero is that inevitably there will be times when the one you don't own scores points.
    The trick will be to avoid the temptation to switch between the two (barring a good reason like injury, Peps selection trends or suspension) and riding it out

      Often a good strategy is to get a quality player and hold on for a number of weeks to get returns. Eriksen and KDB are kind of like this in my experience.

      Very easy to knee jerk and tinker though I know!

      Right. Both will score many points. It's not like every game will have seven goals. Arsenal and Liverpool excused.

        I just think he was lucky to see 60mins. Did not much else than hold the ball and lay off. Can't put crosses in and doesn't take people on. Either he doesn't start next week or he will be off at or around 60mins. If you can guarantee he makes 60mins then happy but I just think I can do without the headache.

      I can't even imagine how horrifically wrong your initial squad must've been if anyone is genuinely thinking of wildcarding with GW1 not even finished yet. What an utter waste of the WC that would be.

    KDB has almost been playing Toure's role tonight. Picking up the ball deep and driving forward before handing it off to "the assister" who then looks to get it into the box.

    Hopefully Toure comes back, or I might be switching KBD for Jesus/Kun.
