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.

      26 points with Kane and Lukaku (c) left to play..

        Could have been worse

          I'm looking at high scoring players his week, a lot of them had really low ownership.. makes me feel like it's not as bad ha

    Chicharito owner here. What are we expecting?

    1. Better Call Paul
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully nothing as I have Valencia at the back

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years

        Fair

      2 pts

  6. Teror

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Glad I saved 0.5. Was planning to do Jones > Trippier once he's back but now I'm safe to wait and see if Ramsey starts the next match even if Zaha drops in price.

  7. Frank Black

    Wow 2BPS for Bertrand and 1BP for Foster. Nice, Bertrand and Vokes my two best picks so far.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Same with Bert/Foster. Got lucky taking Willian over Fab.

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

        7 point swing + suspension between willian and Fab is frightening to think about. Condolences to those who chose Fab

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, really feel for Fab owners. It was a tough call.

    How did Saints look taoday upfront? Anyone stood out? And deadball duties? JWP?

    1. PogChamp
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty toothless upfront. Yoshida could have scored a few and is on free-kicks.

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

        Yoshida on free kicks?1 You mean he is the target, or he takes them? I saw he had that one big chance around the 78' mark. Would've been so thrilled if he put that one away

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      JWP was lively trying to create but there was.

      Makes me wonder why southampton did not sign Inenacho/abrahams/Gray.

      They also left Long on the bench.

      All they need is a decent finisher

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years

        *there was no one to finish the chances*

      Cheers. Thnx for review

  9. ZaZaZu

    Its GW1. Long way to go and most people wildcard early because its difficult to get it right in GW1. Relax.

  10. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I am worried that Pep might lose his faith in Jesus after that showing and put him on the bench v Everton.

    Kun up top and go sane/ david silva and sterling 4-3-3

    He was very unlucky his price might even drop as people move to firmino/vardy/rooney/lacazette ?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years

      Jesus was best player on the pitch - should've been MOTM - not Walker.

      Scared of Kane (c) tbh.

      Not me.
      I don't own any spurs, so there is too much to worry about.
      Hopefully ritchie does something

  12. The Overthinker

    Daniels and Fraser killed me tbh

      SELL! 😀

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years

      You really only have yourself to blame. What kind of damn fool doubles up on Bournemouth?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This bloody fool. For their HOME matches. 😎

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I got Daniels. The only teams I doubled up on were Citeh and MU. It's far too risky imo to double up on a team like Bournemouth that blows hot and cold.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yup.

            HOME = HOT
            away = cold. 😉

          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Begovic is the guy to get long term for the save points. ( I thought)
          Even though I saw the following about West Brom:

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h747UjOjKwo

          I thought they had really dipped pre-season and could not see Bournmouth conceding.....

      2. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Such a rude comment. BOU have proven to be a very hard side to break down

      3. fedolefan
        • 9 Years

        This is so harsh.

      4. Paramaribo

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Mark had both Daniels and Fraser 🙂

    3. Je suis le chat

      Keepers nonetheless. Bournemouth are small and prone vs set piece specialists: WBA etc.

  13. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Whilst the swift price changes were crazy (and frustrating) last year, it definitely helped to increase Team Value early on.

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

      It helps. An extra 7 million half way through the season to beef up defence. Takes me from middle of my league to winner every time.

  14. FALCAO & MOU

    Anyone considering bringing in Alonso?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Already have him...come join the club 🙂

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

      God know already regret having him, yes he can be atatcking but today was a mess. Plus they have Spurs up next and wont have Cahill. Pretty sure im doing Alonso>Yoshida for gw2, shame saints are away

  15. I Member

    De Gea
    Kompany - Bertrand - Daniels
    De Bruyne - Mkhitaryan - Zaha - Atsu

      TM I'm having grav problems. Can't get one for the email address on FFS. I changed my email address recently but the gravatar site still shows my main email as my previous one but I've added the new email to the gravatar account.
      I'm trying to set up a new gravatar account but it won't let me use the new email address! How do I remove the new email address from the old account?

    2. Darklord_bg

      Too sideways...give it another week or two.

    3. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Very Jerky. Jesus was great today. He'll share the goals with Aguero. I own KdB and wasn't impressed but I'll still be keeping because he'll come good with time.

    4. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years

      Save probably

    5. BIG TONES

      Log off. Take a breather

    Bottomed...

    Speroni
    Daniels Monreal Moreno
    Fraser Willian DeBruyne Zaha
    Kaku Gabbi Kane(C)

    S: Foster Danilo Long Atsu

    What do you all think of KDB, seemed like his role was holding and dropping back and centrally feeding balls to silva and fernandinho. No BAPS or assists.

    Should I start making transfers before it's too late? Suggestions appreciated!

    1. Pigeon

      I didn't see the match. When did he get injured?

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I dont know either just read about it.

        Got Cesc suspended too so it will be annoying if he is injured

  21. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Not a brag, or a moan, since I have no idea what a good score is. I'm on 47 with Lukaku (c), Kane, De Gea and Atsu to play.

    Is that alright would you say?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's a decent score. If you read a couple of pages, you would see most of those posting their scores are in the 40's

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        fantastic, thanks. Mounie came good but was still missing the likes of Firmino/Aguero so was a bit concerned

    4. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Average could even be in the 20s from the looks of it so I'd say you're doing swell.

    5. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's a pretty good score.

    Guys. Alonso+fabregas--->salah+hegazi?
    And yea...im one of the unfortunate folk with them 2 ;(

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have other Liverpool cover? If so, just to Fab -> Willian instead.

      Otherwise seems like a decent move. Though you should probably get a nailed defender instead, like Dawson.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Don't have Liverpool cover.
        Was considering fab to Ramsey. Save the hit as Alonso should get at least 2!

        1. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ramsey not nailed. In any case, you should probably wait a bit.

          Fab -> Will seems like the default go-to move.

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
