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.

    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.

      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

    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

        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

      I brought him in for money in the bank. A week or two. Whether he continues to assist all his attack minded team mates is irrelevant, though most likely. Don't listen to the 'experts'. 2 years ago they were laughing at people bringing Mahrez in after he scored in GW1.

      He was playing off to the left but darting in constantly--very similar to best games last year, including theatrical falls and a talk from the referee to shut up and stop begging for calls. He did look more focused after that. But no points despite being the biggest threat.

      He will come good - if not will transfer out GW3 when likely wildcard

    Wished I'd stuck with mounie - transferred him out for Tammy an hour before deadline.

    What a fool!

        That's a terrible mentality to have. Save the transfer for next week if nothing jumps out at you.

          not really. the thinking was he's going to sell jay rod sooner rather than later and mouney has a great game coming up

          no other pressing issues. do it

    Did Tadic look any good today? In the market for a mid at £7m or less after the Fabregas red. I'm loathe to get a Saints midfielder or forward but those fixtures are just too good. Other option is Ramsey but the fixtures there are so-so.

    Those who watched CP vs Huddersfield:

    How did Zaha look? Would you back him to show his FPL value against Spurs? Unfortunately all the kneejerkers means there's a big risk of him dropping in value, which is annoying given the array of good options at his pricepoint

        Probably because of also contemplating the Spurs/Chelsea game

      Dont listen to the kneejerkers. Zaha is a proven FPL player. Its only one game. And he looked okay.

        Because at this stage of season 0.1 drop is equivalent to 0.5 as you can't afford other players in same bracket (assuming no money in bank)...

          This. The main attraction for me is the availability of Wijnaldum at the same price. If Zaha drops in price and continues to disappoint, I won't be able to replace him with Wijnaldum
