Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Brighton

The Gameweek begins with a Friday night clash under lights at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth host south coast rivals Brighton in what is already a vital match for the home side.

Eddie Howe’s Cherries are simply in dismal form. They have suffered four successive defeats and have just a single goal to their name – albeit a goal of the season contender from Fantasy favourite Charlie Daniels.

Impotent in attack, Howe’s defence have also allowed 30 shots on target, more than any other side.

Such statistics will give Chris Hughton’s Brighton plenty of confidence heading into the contest, having sealed their first ever Premier League victory in Gameweek 3 with a 3-1 win over West Brom.

Pascal Gross inspired that performance with an 18-point haul made up of two goals and an assist. Fantasy managers will be fixed on his display in the number ten role tonight as the main point of interest.

Indeed, the match provides a sedate introduction to Gameweek 5, with few Fantasy assets on show.

The aforementioned Daniels is the top owned player in action. Still part of 12.7% of squads, the left-back has been sold by more than 222,000 managers over the last three Gameweeks.

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

    Dafuq has Groß got more BAPS then Ibe when he has 2 assists???

    At least he's gone off injured. Bloody bandwagon!

      He didn't go off injured

      1. KAPO KANE

  2. Foozeball

    This could prove to be a pivotal game for both these teams. Brighton will regret letting that lead slip away

    Probably going to finish

    3 - Surman (37)
    2 - Groß (34)
    1 - Defoe (33)

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Defoe is currently on 31...

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Defoe winning goal baps to be added.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Which takes him to 34

    3. KOLASINA(C)
      • 8 Years

      Groß is really a BAPs king, reminds me the Almighty Dimitri Payet...

    4. fedolefan
      • 10 Years

      Groß with no deductions? Damn it. I hate ML rivals.

    5. KAPO KANE

      Ibe should be bonus 3 surely?!

    Late equaliser from Suttner would be great

    1. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      It is about time to drop him and stop dreaming.. I own him as well.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        If only I had the team that would allow me to do a move like that

  6. We Will Klopp you

    6 years, 9 months ago

    Was hoping to get Daniels on the cheap gw11 but don't think I want him anymore

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He looks good, it's just that BOU aren't keeping cleanies... He'll get the odd attacking return every now and then but with no clean sheets there are better options!

      I have him and want to sell!!

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

        Exactly why I don't want him anymore, especially if Jones continues to be fixture in that United defence

  7. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Davies drop from over 100 to 90% while firmino kane and salah stay above 100

    in other news, mark has salah, firmino and kane but no davies

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years

      LOL

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Quite obvious when you think about it

      "In addition a percentage of the carryover transfers will be lost at the gameweek changeover for those players who have changed in value in the previous gameweek."

      1. Sims

        im just kidding

        1. VS10_
          • 8 Years

          To your previous post also about it being dodgy.

    4. FPL ZB

      He was 120 at one point. Ridiculous.

  8. FPL Virgin

    Krul to start next gameweek?

    1. JRM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt it. They spent quite a lot of money on Matt Ryan. Think Krul is backup.

      (Krul is in my team for now, as I just intend on playing Elliot for quite some time.)

    1. Pariße

    1. Foozeball
      • 7 Years

      Who are the 3 he hasn't scored against?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years

        Watford, Sheffield United and Leeds

    Defoe ywt to get winning goal baps, Gross at max 1 bap

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

        Yes. Other adjustments always too.

          • 14 Years

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers, good pick. He was my Willian replacement prior to hitting the WC.

      2. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No deductions for Gross, Defoe with 1. 2 locked in for Pascal.

  13. Guy Demel
    • 11 Years

    Yes cherries

  14. Dannyb
    • 7 Years

    Can't wait for the Ibe bandwagon to pull in to the station.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That train is delayed

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

      I had him at the start of last season as thought he was a good signing for bournmth but he didn't get much of a chance

  15. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Better second half.

  16. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    2 from 1, green arrow I reckon

  17. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Charlie Daniels in this weeks Dream Team, congrats owners!

    GroB is a BAP whore

  20. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years

    Welp. 3(-8) points from 2

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Who'd ya bring in boy o?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Alli and Abraham - I sold Pogba and Gabbi

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just Groß in the match, nice start. Hope he keeps 2 baps but even 1 would be sound.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      beats my -8 so far

  21. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    0 from 0, and expected green arrow 😀

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Can't ask for much more at that price range.

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      -12 from 0, BOOM green arrow!

  22. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gross the best 5.5 midfielder?

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

      i'd wait to see how moting performs

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

        *Brady

    2. SilkySkills
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      The midfield from 4.5m - 8m seems to be a key area in fpl from what I can see, with Gross, and a few others bringing in those price rises

      If you can find two good players in that bracket then it's going to boost your teams value

  23. fedolefan
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Any extra bps for March for first goal of the game?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      It's September.

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Don't think that's a thing.

      1. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I've heard Kane gets them in August.

  24. ronty
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gross holding on for that 2 baps will make it 9 from 2

    A decent start..

    Daniels to Kola is the easy way to go for me if Gross isn't injured

  25. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    gross gonna end up with 2 baps. defoe 1 dispossession next to gross'0

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Seems like the adjustments are always weird, who knows.

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gross 2 bps surely that will change

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

      nope

  27. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    One part of my -4 hit has delivered, with Gross getting an assist and potentially 2 bonus points just need CS from maguire and a goal or more from kane (C)

  28. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gross better value for $ than Brady?

  29. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Not sure what's worse, the fact I put Gross in or that he actually got me some points.

    I still feel dirty.

    (It was all to get Davies in).

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I took the same decision:

      Stephens > Davies
      Yoshida > Wimmer
      Fraser > Gross

      Tbf, I didn't -need- to make the Gross transfer, but he seemed a slightly better prospect than Fraser, was rising... and now has already paid off the hit -4.

      Chuffed.
