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.

    About time Ibe turned up.
    Had him in my squad when he first joined Bournemouth after a good pre-season. Did absolutely nothing.

    Matt Ryan can gtfo of my team.

  3. Mark-O

    It's not gross when Defoe Ibe and Surman have very low ownership

  4. Feloh

    Vintage Defoe goal. He's still got it.

    1. how now brown cow
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He'll always have it. What a finisher.

      1. Pochecinno
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Incredible. He doesn't look up at the goal once in the lead up to the goal.

    2. the axolotl
      9 years, 1 month ago

      his 1st goal for bournemouth in 16 years 🙂

    Mkhi → Surman
    Salah → Ibe

      You've already made a transfer. Let me guess, Gross?

      Do it after the price rises.

      Do it...

    Suttner can stay for at least one more week, even if he falls because he has Newcastle at home. But Daniels needs Stephens to be benched to avoid me getting rid of him

    1. Pooodle
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd dump Daniels. Bournemouth are awful. Ake definitely gone for me this week.

    2. noquarternt
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Course he won't. An assist is more than enough.

    Glad I got Gross 🙂

  13. the snazzy viking

    Defoe OFF

  14. diesel001
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Said it before. Josh King for £7.3m as a striker - you got to be joking. Does not dovetail well with Defoe.

    1. MikeDuff
      9 years, 1 month ago

      When he gets 1 he'll go on a run

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So, what do you think his price should have been after last season?

      1. fedolefan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He should have been 5.5m and a mid. Oh wait, we've done that already.

      2. diesel001
        9 years, 1 month ago

        £6.5m as a midfielder

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, but he scored 16 goals last season. FPL Towers had to take that into account and price him accordingly. And he's still not playing as a midfielder.

        2. fedolefan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You can't have a 6.5m mid who's scored 16 goals. Sorry, even 7.5m as a forward is very generous. He's priced the same as Welbeck and Rashford. Just think about that.

          1. diesel001
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Welbeck and Rashford play for Top 6 teams. There is a chasm between the Top 6 + Everton and the rest.

            1. fedolefan
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, but he's priced the same as a backup/2nd choice for those teams. And he scored 16 goals last season.

  15. MikeDuff
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Has the feel of a 6 pointer

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wish. Sitting on 2 crappy points.

    2. Mark-O
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully 7

  16. Yankee Toffee

    Gross off

  17. Iceball

    Cant wait to test my defense of Alonso Davies Mendy Kolasinac

  18. Mark-O
    9 years, 1 month ago

    As a Gross owner I felt really gross when Gross was substituted 🙁

    1. Mull
      9 years, 1 month ago

      We get it.

    2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why was he subbed?

      1. Mark-O
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tactical

    3. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How did he look in general? Was watching Bundesliga so only caught about 10 minutes with him on the pitch.

      1. Mark-O
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Wonderful

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Freddy Adu wonderful or Jay-Jay Okocha wonderful?

  19. SilkySkills
    9 years, 1 month ago

    At least Gross did something and isn't injured

    1. That Was Easy!
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't injured?

    2. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Didnt he got off injured?

      1. SilkySkills
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thought it was just to be safe

    3. Top 210 Club
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. Top 210 Club
        9 years, 1 month ago

  21. Mind över Mata

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best Arsenal defender?

    A) Kola
    B) Bellerin
    C) Kos
    D) Monreal (save funds)

    1. Foozeball
      9 years, 1 month ago

      AAAAA

    2. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kola or nothing.

  22. Foozeball
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brilliant substitution by Howe. Ibe brought echoes of the famous Fraser substitution against Liverpool

  23. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gross still on for 2....

    HOLD

    1. Yankee Toffee
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed

  24. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This is the main reason I don't watch games when I only have defenders playing

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hello guys

    Do you think Solomon march is nailed in that Brighton team ?

    Thanks a lot 🙂

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lol.

    2. Mark-O
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if Izzy Brown will be kept on the bench or not

      1. Top 210 Club
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And the new winger who just came on

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    3. Mull
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretend that Brighton goal never happened.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe I ll go for gross, safer option 🙂

    5. THE Wild Rover
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

      You're welcome 🙂

  26. how now brown cow
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I bought him in at 6.55 and was expecting nothing, mainly so I could use the funny ß character.

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here, hope he hold onto the 2 bonus.

  27. That Was Easy!
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are Defoe and King off? Daniels in line for PKs if so.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King on

  28. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Suttner please score.

    Daniels please score.

    Thank you

  29. Mark-O
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just give Bournemouth their first three points please

    Beats better than no points since the opening match!

  30. GAMBIT
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I am the only guy in my ML that has Antonio

    Don't know whether that's because he's a good differential or because he's utter rubbish

    1. Yankee Toffee
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well he,s not rubbish

    2. how now brown cow
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good differential, but Hammers are unpredictable.

    3. Oven Glover
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good but slightly expensive diff.
