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.

    All those criticising this fixture are clealy non Charlie Daniels owners watching from behind their sofa.

      I don't own Daniels. But would rather have Davies, Kolasinac, Bailly and Alonso in defence. Oh, wait, I do.

      I think they're watching from behind the sofa because the game is so poor they'd rather look at the back of their settees.

    Brighton clean sheet + Groß goal = Weekend off to a very good start

    1. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      From what i have seen so far a Brighton CS is highly improbable.

  11. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Btw non better teams wanted Daniels? Game is dire however he is good to watch

    Any options on this WC team? Similar to one of prev page but with Fellaini risk

    1. diesel001

      Really good team IMO.

      Same starting 11 as mine, except I have have Firmino rather than Jesus.

      I also have foster, Doucoure, Choupo and galez

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years

        (So, yeah, I like it)

        1. FPL Bargain
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Good. Yeah I was a little concerned about Fellaini but think he should start and do well for quite a few games. I did have Chup Moting for him that was my trickiest choice

    Any advisable transfers, unsure of hegazi and Midfield is not the strongest.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Alonso, Hegazi -> Kolasinac, Jones or
      DDG, Hegazi -> Kolasinac/Jones, 4.0/4.5

    Has anybody ever driven and then realised you can't remember anything about the actual driving.

    This game is that drive.

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

      This paints the perfect picture!

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You mean like when you read a page in a book but take nothing in? Sounds like a dangerous car journey

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

      That perfectly sums this up.

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hmm. Or is it more like that drive when you are really tired but still must keep your eyes on the road, even though you'd really rather just turn the engine off and go to sleep.

    Only watching this shit so I can see how Fraser looks :/

      South coasts Hazard apparently.

    god what happened to Bournemouth

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

      Howe might need to take a risk and try out a CM or two. He's got Lewis Cook and Emerson Hyndman in the squad as more creative CMs

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

    Have to feel for the fans who paid to be there :/

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 11 Years

      Haha

    2. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years

      Home fans seem to be making a lot of noise

  22. Atimis

    If this was considered as good fixture for Brighton then...uh...you know what I mean 😀

    1. SilkySkills

      South coast battle

      1. Atimis

        I'd rather go to the beach and get drunk than pay for this horror show

      Brighton as a whole, not much. He is getting some BPS however. Won't last if CSs are kept either side though.

    Daniels plays where he wants!

    Anything good for Bournemouth coming from him.

  25. George Sillett

    What's all this nonsense re people complaining about a poor game ? There are many rubbish games in the PL - it just happens that this one is televised due to television obligations to show live games for each PL club during the season. Why do you think that it's buried on a Friday night ?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Friday night football should showcase better teams IMO. For example, why not have Friday night football last week for one of the CL teams playing on a Tuesday?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…

        This

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        So you would be happier to watch this in the pub on Saturday or Sunday lunch or teatime ?

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Not watching it at all, anywhere, on any day of the week would be more preferable.

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Stupid response.

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          No, should be a 3pm Saturday kick off

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

      why do they hav an obligation to show shit teams taking on shit teams? stupid rule

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        They don't and you have misquoted me. They have an obligation to show all PL teams a minimum number of times. Do you expect every PL game to be a classic ? There are other paint drying PL sides that appear on tv too.

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

          maybe they should have a balance then. really awful sunday line up followed by an awful friday. could have mixed it up a bit at least

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            So this next weekend then ?

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A lot of these responses are hypocritical anyway if you pay for a dedicated football tv package . Cancel it if you don't like it.

    It doesn't look like Brighton will get a CS here, but at the same time it doesn't look like Bournemouth is going to score any time soon.
