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.

    It's going to be interesting watching Lukaku tomorrow. If he completely rips it up I may swap Aguero out for him...but hopefully that won't be needed and I can roll the FT.

    Shouldn't complain, as have had a respectable first GW with Kaku C and a couple others still to go, but really burned that I insisted on Alonso over Luiz and then had to downgrade Aguero to Jesus to make it happen even though I so badly wanted Kun over Jesus.

    Sigh. Oh well. Any chance the OG in the City match came off Jesus?? Sure looks like he took a touch to me..

      Holding onto Fàbregas, personally. I was feeling a little iffy about his yellows yesterday but still plugged for him as a medium term investment and I'm sticking to my guns. Bringing Vardy in for Bats - fixture proof performance last night and clearly gels with Shakespeare. See how tomorrow goes first though.

      Is Xhaka a flash in the pan or can he be a long term cheap mid pick?

        I would be amazed if he scored that high again for the rest of the season

        We can't be sure , but Doos seems to think he is a good pick for corners alone , 5.5m is cheap

          I didnt see the game but was impressed with him in the charity shield and towards the end of last season.

          I agree with Doos... he has a wicked lashing corner kick and cross and he seems to have picked up where Ozil forgot how to play. And he is avoiding the Cahill-like lunges.
