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.

      Forgot to change my team before tonight's deadline 🙁
      Had two free transfers and they were going to be:
      Valencia to BDavies and Willian to Salah
      How many points is it gonna cost me?

        spare a thought for me done the same and was planning on hernandez to kane tonight and now have hernandez captain

          I feel your pain. Kane blank incoming!

  2. Yellin' in my Ear

    To avoid a 0.2 swing tonight (prepared to risk early transfers)
    Stephens and Suttner to Mbemba and Kola?

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Definitely not

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Any reason? Both look like dropping, Stephens looks like he may lose his place and Brighton can't keep clean sheets...

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

      got it

  3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Get it back

  4. socho

    We are now on Gameweek 5 and I feel Lacazette has been slightly overpriced. Anyone agrees? I can't believe he started at 0.5 more than a player like Morata.

    Arsenal players overall have been badly priced in my opinion

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      On what basis? Arsenal have started slowly? How could FPL accurately predict the future?

    2. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Yeah, I couldn't work out why Morata was 10 and he 10.5

      Ozil at 9.5 is nearly as bad as Nyom's price too

    3. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He's fairly priced. Arsenal are under performing.

    4. Football Weekender
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Agree that it doesn't make much sense that Morata would be £0.5m cheaper. It'd be interesting to know why FPL Towers thought Morata should be less.

  5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Way can't I reply properly!?!?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Why*

    Fraser and Daniels owner 😎

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Fraser delta reset is the big winner tonight 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Innit lad.

    2. fedolefan

      WC time.

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    So I went Ritchie and Moting over Gross. Still don't see Brighton scoring many, Bournemouth are not exactly lighting things up at the moment.

    1. Football Weekender
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Other two could still do well, too early for regrets just yet!

  8. Catsandhats
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Worth shipping Stephens or suttner tonight? Both look like they are going to drop so could be worth the early transfer, also they are probably a priority, would what you suggest?

    Current team:

    Foster
    Davies, Jones, Stephens
    Erickson, miki, salad, Mooy
    Lukaku, Kane

    Elliot (suttner, long, Carrol)

    0.7itb

    Appreciate your thought opinions!

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      See above, in a similar position with 0.8 itb....

    2. Football Weekender
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I think I'm shipping Stephens tonight. I know the risks and if it goes belly up then sod it, that's how I want to play the game!

      1. Catsandhats
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Who are you swapping for?

        1. Football Weekender
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Ward

  9. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Didn't see game how bad was Gros?

    Did he get injured? Looking worth the price to keep for the future fixtures? Thanks all

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

      He played well and I can't understand why he was subbed tbh

      Taking him and Knockaert off was a strange move. Hughton does it a lot and cant understand it.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks Az, hard to filter through the banter on here sometimes. ok glad he played well and got some points, hoping he can get some good points in his future home games

        1. fitzy
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          He got hurt, stayed down for a while with bournemouth attacking and then got subbed 5 minutes later. Doesn't look injured but it's hard to blame people for saying he could have been.

          1. MTPockets
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Thanks. Didn't read question above.

      2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Was he injured/not? Different replies here and online.

        1. jpb333
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Heavy knock and appeared to be struggling

    2. Football Weekender
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He played well. The ball in for the goal was brilliant. Nice touches, lots of passes and lots of winning the ball too - good for BPS. Hopefully it's just a knock.

  10. Forza Papac

    Anyone here follow USA Soccer Guy on facebook?

    If you don't, you should.

  11. Firmino
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Is Stephens (SOU) dropping tonight? My transfers for next gameweek would be Stephens -> Keane and Valencia -> Kolasinac. Can't afford a price drop. Worth the risk or are Bellerin or Williams options?

    1. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Is Stephens out tomorrow?

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

      Yes

    3. Football Weekender
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He'll probably drop, yeah. If you don't mind taking the risk then go for it. But if it goes wrong be prepared for people on here bleating about serving you right etc.

    In case someone missed it, CHE forgot to change his team before tonight's deadline.

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      I wish I had forgotten to change my team

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

        I wish I remembered to change my team. Was certainly going to bring in Defoe, Gross, March and Ibe for a -8 with my 2FTs.

    I've already set my team for next week, no excuse for not setting it

    1. Optimus.

      How can you set up your team when you dont know this gws scorers yet 😉

      1. Coot
        • 16 Years

        Arf.

  15. More Tragic
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    According to FPL stats, a Kane rise is not so cut and dried now that w/cs have been factored in.

    Think I'll wait

  16. kumast
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    I need a 3.9 bench fodder def who obviously has to hold his price until i wildcard in a few weeks. Whose most likely to not fall? Hunemeier (ownership 5%) or Tuanzebe (ownership 1.6%). Or those percentages too alike to make any difference?

    1. kumast
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      anyone? It´s the first post all night that doesn´t mention Gross.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        lowest ownership normally safer

        1. kumast
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Cheers.

      2. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Your question is too gross. Nobody wants to answer.

        I have no clue but you'd think neither will drop anytime soon.

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

      Both are being bought now.

    3. More Tragic
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Hunemeir
      people with Tuanzebe may get rid for 3 proper Utd

      1. kumast
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Good point, thanks.

    Gross bandwagon incoming??

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Probably

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Think that was last week.

    3. _figu

      Missed the train last week, going to hop in! (tbh I actually might)

      1. Gunned Down
        • 12 Years

        Don't really want him, but feel he'll rise a lot like hegazi, good for TV

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          I want to do Bertrand -> Kola and I need to fund it. Phillips -> Gross seems decent way to do it.

  18. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    I remembered to change my team, but as an aside, does anyone have any tips to stop burping after you've eaten mackerel?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Seaweed. Boffins are going to add it to cattle fooder to cut down on the methane gas you bovines emit.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers. You don't hear the word boffin nearly enough these days.

        1. An Púca
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          It's probably not PC!!!

    2. panda07

      Don't eat mackerel in the first place, it's putrid

    1. how now brown cow

      I'm hoping to hold off till next intl break

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Depends on your team.

    4. ♤TeddyBear♤

      My team is rubbish..

    5. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I'd be doing it if I didn't have 2 FTs. Best time so far this season, for me.

  20. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    So the guy ranked 1 overall TC'd Kane this weekend. Could pay off.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      So much better in a double gameweek in terms of potential tho.

    2. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      It's a risk. I'd save it for a DGW myself

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Are there double game weeks this year?

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years

      Ballsy, wonder how many other wildcards they've burned to get to 1

    4. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He was 3 millionth last season. He has already bench boosted and he has Xhaha.

    5. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He's an ultimate casual. He won't be anywhere near the top come 38. Bookmark his FPL ID for future reference.

    6. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      The guy ranked 4 is my favourite. 0 transfers and captained Kante last week!

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 10 Years

          Not a major deal in gw5, unless he didn't hit WC button and got like -50 like the poor poor in gw37

        2. Optimus.

      The WCers are just throwing it all over the wall. It messes it up completely..

    Highest scoring midfielder in the game after BAPS have been awarded is currently 5.5m and 4.3 TSB.

    HUGE bandwagon incoming.

      Happy I bought him but just an early season anomaly I reckon.

      Big guns to start firing this weekend.

      No doubt ownership will pick up yeah

      Would be happy with a decent price rise and ship him on after a few.

    Looking to fund Lowe to Kolasinac.

    Which of the following:
    1) Alli to Silva
    2) Lukaku to Jesus

    Want City too for their Palace home fixture.

    *May have to make a decision tonight with Jesus possibly rising*

        Thanks, I'm leaning towards this too, really like Jesus

      Unless you have both Alli and Eriksen, I'd do Kaku to Jesus

    Stephens and Suttner falling in price tonight. For the 4th time this season I get a red arrow and I've now dipped into the sub 2m area. I'm panicking a little bit because I've taken -12 points worth of hits in the last 2 gameweeks and there hasn't been a week where I have really been comfortable with my squad because of injuries, suspensions, etc.

    Help a viking today.

    Foster / Myhill
    Valencia Stephens Daniels Suttner / Hunemeier
    Eriksen Alli Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    1 FT, 0.4 ITB

    I still have my wildcard too though I want to use it in the 2nd international break
