Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Man City

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.

    if u own lukaku but didn't captain him what would u hope for?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      The best

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I'd rather he blanked but a goal should be fine

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

        i think 5-6 points would be ideal

    3. SamA
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      For him to do good but not as good as my captain

      1. Fantasy Football Friend!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        What if you captained Jesus?

    4. TorresMagic™

      Depends on ML rivals.

    5. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This early in the season as many goals as he can muster. Too early to worry too much about rivals / rank.

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      As many points as possible. 🙂

    Why is everyone snapping up xhaka? Is this fpl madness or reason.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I expect him to have a great season, just not in FPL terms, will get 10 assists&goals combined max

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol madness. 3 assists last season. Two in his first game and everyone goes mental. He'll get a red card at stoke

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        don't scare the casuals..

    3. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Loads of newbies who will abandon their teams by December are getting him in

    4. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Will be benched next gw.

    5. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Xhaka with this formation will get a few goals and assists over the season, more of an assister of assister though

      1. Mattrick
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks lads, thought i must have missed him in oop or something.

    6. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      They like red cards?

    7. PnutButterWolf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      was taking corners last night, has a great shot on him and i reckon he'll show his quality this season

    8. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 😉

    9. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I will say he strikes me as the defensive midfielder who I think is stupid to get who then continues to tick points for the first month or two in the manner of Capoue.

  3. SamA
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Batshuayi at risk of a price drop even if only 1.9% own him?

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      That is the question haunting me.

    2. UshFPL

      Yes

    3. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Recent hot topic explained it again. It doesnt matter how many onw him, price drops depends on % of people selling him, not the total number.

      I dont he will drop this week though.

    4. T C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure. There's about 20 players above him with more net transfers out, so maybe he's not as big a priority as some others.

      1. SamA
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        No way he'll drop overnight right? I'd like to transfer him out for Chicharito before he loses value but would also obviously like to see how Chicha does tomorrow

  4. Fuchs Mane Kante

    55 plus Troll and Shearer cappo.

    Not gonna mention my fpl score.lol

    How did Gabbiadini look???

    1. Teror

      Long-ish hair. Olive complexion. Skinny.

      Well shit

    7. Boydinho
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He looked quiet good, like at the end of last season. Many chances, good position but can't get the ball in the net.

    8. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Had many chances. Poor finisher. I dont know if that helps. 😀

    bout chelski: you can have kante, matic or whoever, but if you have idiot captain & playmaker, you cant swim

  7. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years

    Thrilled to own a differential Aguero. Shall enjoy while it lasts and give him the armband at every opportunity.

    Rarely happens in FPL.

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

      won't be too thrilled when kane outscores him

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Got Kane as well.

        Would be lovely if he scores well.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Same here. Aguero being a differential. Cant believe my luck this season

    3. Adz87
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Is 11.5% owned a differential?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Definitely for a player of Aguero's stature.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Is he a good use of 11.5 considering how Firmino, Vardy, Mountie, Vokes did?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Don't think Mounie and Vokes are reliable and can sustain.

        Firmino and Vardy not captain materials like Aguero and Kun can be far more explosive.

    5. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If you have him and Kane and Lukaku then good job. If not, well...

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I have all 3. 😀

    6. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Even though the Jesus captain fail stings I'm not totally ready to admit defeat. I don't think Kun looked any more dangerous, the points just didn't flow. I do think having both could be a real option.

  8. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Abraham -----> Mounie for my draft leagues?

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Bit of a tough call to make gw2, who to start (would probably be relying on attacking threat)

    A) PVA vs Liverpool away
    B) Suttner vs Leicester away

    Currently on Suttner

    1. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      PVA surely. You dont need a 5.5 defender on your bench, I guess. And with that Pool defence, he can deliver in attack.

  10. QueefParkRangers
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with Fabregas ?? FFS

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years

      Sell

    2. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years

      He's got to go. Looking at Ramsey personally.

  11. Dušan Citizen

    Imagine what Zaha will do to Liverpool defence...

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Benteke *

      It's all about playing then at set pieces.

  12. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Watching Aguero's 100 Club - Hope there's a time this season I feel confident enough to let the man grab me more points, still arguably the best finisher in the league.

  13. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this? Think I'll hold my transfer and see how GW2 pans out.

    Gomes (Elliot)
    Daniels Danilo Stephens (Long Rosenior)
    Willian KDB Salah Fraser (Carroll)
    Kane Kaku Benteke

  14. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If Lukaku (my captain) scores a goal, even without him getting bonus points my I will break the 70 point mark.

  15. Le _ Professeur
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Are J. Rodriguez owners satisfied ? .. He played a great starting 15~20 mins could've gotten a goal or two .. but then he just disappeared entirely .. especially when he was forced to the right when Robson-Kanu came on .. Considering WBA fixtures are not bad .. I think I might stick but to be honest " Mounie " is attracting my attention .. What are your thoughts guys 🙂 ?

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He looked better than he has done for a year. I'd hold if you'd got him and he's not a bad replacement for Gabbi...

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm tempted to hold because of the fixtures and because he did quite well but it's a Pulis team after all. I watched Palace - Hudds and the 'field really went for it. You can tell that Wagner plays ja so schexy fußbal and I think Mounie is going to thrive much more in that sort of team.

                  Magic as usual. Seems only your own team is the only one that loads properly.

  17. Kingston

    Seeing through the nonesense:Xhaka is not a good fantasy pick all of a sudden and shipping zaha after one game is just silly

      Spot on fella

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      well for me I only put Zaha in my team because I didn't think Ramsey would start. I never rated Zaha and always thought 7.0 is overpriced. Although I'll hold for now simply because the only other option at that price is Ramsey and again we don't know wazzup with Arsenal yet.

  18. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years

    Mournie or Vokes? decided on Vokes, gonna try and find a rotation partner for him.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I'd say Phillips, but he is once again off corners, apparently.

      1. Evil Greg

    how many points do you reckon Kane, Mkhi, Atsu & DDG can get tomorrow (Captain used on Kun)

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Should be good for 20-25 points

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Mkhi and Atsu doubts with minutes but if both start they can both score I reckon. My gut says Lukaku doesnt score and Mkhi gets the glory

    2. LÖrKingMuch
      • 13 Years

      Somewhere between 3 and 30 😉

      Ramsey is #1 on my shopping list to be honest - looked unreal when he came on & Wenger loves him in that new formation. 4 goals in his last 4 games now

      Oops, misstep there + wrong position!

  28. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How will Chelsea lineup against Spurs? They don't have enough players.
    Just look at their team, everyone seems to be out.
    Courtois
    Azpil Rudiger Luiz
    Moses Kante Willian Boga?? Alonso
    Morata Batshuayi??

    I think he may have to start Bats, and I am sure Bats will score if there are 11 men.

    1. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      David Luiz could also possibly be thrown into midfield

      Courtois
      Christensen, Rudiger, Azpi
      Moses, Kante, David Luiz, Alonso
      Willian, Batshuayi, Morata

      Looks like a very weak lineup regardless though. Spurs could have a field day if they're in form

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        So, should I keep Bats, or dump him without batting an eyelid?

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Isnt Moses due back?

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, he is.

  29. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Willian worth keeping around? Although he looked like one of, if not the best Chelsea player today, all the injuries and suspensions could really hurt Chelsea against Spurs.
    Considering a swap to Wijnaldum for his strong record at home for Liverpool. Liverpool against Palace looks to be a goal heavy fixture given how poor both sides defenses are. I already have Zaha and would like to keep him for this fixture, although the possible price drop could hurt

    1. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He was certainly good enough that I wouldn't waste a transfer on him.

        True. Perhaps Zaha would make way for Wijnaldum or just hold for now. No Liverpool cover atm could be an issue though
        Will just have to wait and see how sturdy Spurs defense looks tomorrow maybe

    Tempted by Gabbi to Mounie. Is it too knee jerk? Wouldn't surprise me if Austin gets the nod next week.

      It would surprise me, Gabbi was bad, but Austin wasn't much better. I'm holding, the fixtures are too good.
