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.

    For anyone interested and hasn't realised, fpldiscovery is back up and running!

    How in the world can Gross get 2 bonus points for that performance?!

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      Makes me sick

    2. _figu

      So gross.

    3. LosBlancos

      Absurd

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Propper Gross

        I am saying that for some time but every gw they have at least one "strange" pick for bonus. It looks like they giving advantage to some "popular" picks or even players they own... Best solution is like in CL, no bonus point. Only points that player earn in game. Thats fair thing

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      His heat map (before this game) still makes me cringe.

    5. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Cabaye had one bonus point last week despite 'doing nothing'

    6. Top 210 Club
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      successful crosses, almost 3 assists if the two corner deliveries didn't result in crossbars

  3. Jack Burton

    Have naughton best replacement for suttner 4.9 max thanks in advance

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I would wait until all the games are over to make your final decision and it's also worth noting that Brighton are at home to Newcastle next GW - could be a CS there

    2. JRM
      • 9 Years

      Someone whose fixtures rotate well with your benched defender.

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers both

  4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    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)

  5. The 12th Man
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Groß nearly paid for my -8.

    Moting + Kane(c) now do your part.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Same boat but with Jesus and Bavies

      1. The 12th Man
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Should work out for you.

    2. Krionos
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      -8 for gross, moting and kane... So much wrong with that and yet could pay off handsomely due to one guy who could well become the greatest pl goalscorer ever.

  6. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    why is everyone acting surprised gross is getting 2 baps with an assist?

    it's how eriksen got over 200 points last season

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Eriksen plays well though.

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        stats suggest gross did too. 4 key passes and plenty of tackles

        1. That Was Easy!
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Then the bonus makes sense, not sure why people complain.

          1. HashAttack
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            He looked good - had two corners which just needed better finishing and a great cross for the goal ... feeling better about having him now

            "In each of his two seasons in the Bundesliga, Gross created more scoring chances (95 and 98) than any player"

            1. That Was Easy!
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              Saw those stats in an article at the beginning of the year. Really impressive stat.

        2. *Reformed-Character*

          Watch games not stats

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years

            watch your mouth kid

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years

      Doesn't Defoe leapfrog him with winning goal?

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

        It's only worth 3.

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        nope

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      No, it's really not ...

    4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Because Ibe got 2 assists

      1. BananaNose Maldonado

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        The entire bonus points systems is spelled out, data point by data point, on the FPL site. It's entirely objective. Maybe you don't like the system, but it's all there for everyone to see.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years

    Gross 7 points nice , I will take that.

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years

    1. the snazzy viking

      Yes but wait until you make your transfers

      Prefer Pascal puns, they're less stressful, not as much pressure.

    No players in tonights match but went up a predicted 13k places. Result. I guess its due to not taking a hit.

      • 9 Years

        I know, but only the false hope of being number 1 for atleast a night gives me goosebumps

    4. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      To be fair he picked a pretty good, high risk high reward team to begin with.

    5. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Wk1, Pogba triple captain ... he had 6 other players who scored better

    6. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Reminds me there's a lot of time and a lot of people I will surely pass. He's not the only one.

  20. BrutalLogiC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    who to get in for Willian and Pogba? I have Erik/Atsu/Caroll.

    Something like Salah or Silva and Gros or Doucouré. Prefer Salah but Silva fixtures are better.

    Stephens, Suttner and Daniels. What can I even say

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Im in the same boat and panicking to get in Bavies, Mbemba and Naughtin or other 4.5...

  23. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    10.4 to spend on a striker for next week, who do you pick?

    Jesus 10.4
    Lacazette 10.4
    Morata 10.2

    I have no other attacking coverage from those teams. Do have Alonso and Kolasinac.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Jesus

    2. Pochecinno
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Jesus or Vardy

    3. Meppelfield
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Wouldn't it be easier to await their fixtures tomorrow and then judge based on that? They are all good candidates.

      1. Meppelfield
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Although if I had to pick straight away I'd pick Jesus, fixtures are too good over a long period of time.

      2. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Will be priced out of J unfortunately - don't usually take the risk but think I might

    4. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years

      Will have to get Jesus tonight before he even plays

  26. the snazzy viking

    Price falls are just annoying. My team value after tonight is going to be 0.2m less than I had in GW1

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Annoying but I'm not worried

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      That's ok because Lacazette, Kane, Coutinho, Sanchez and co are all cheaper anyway.

  27. Recoba
    • 13 Years

    Gross to atsu last week has worked a treat. Onwards and maybe even upwards!

  28. Whats the Mata?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Fraser's flag has been removed, thus ideally his price rise/drop has to be locked and reset right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I believe so, yes. Avoids a drop, for owners.
