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.

      Tbf, Howe is the only reason Bournemouth are where they are. He got them to the PL and built the team. He deserves a lot of time.

    2. Pochecinno

      Not the same at all. He's been there a few years and has done more than a decent job already

      Howe won't be sacked even if they go down

    Bournemouth are crap. Can't keep up the tempo they had in the first game... Not sure how they've managed to concede after the first half.

    Ok, Gross is legit. Where is the train. I want to jump in.

    That goal was a Gross injustice to Bournemouth. I hope they March on to get an equaliser.
