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.

      Anything that involves selling gabbiadini must be good

        This is so true

    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

    All thoughts appreciated

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

      Just wildcard instead of constantly taking big hits. You're not happy with your team so go for it.

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Just use your wildcard if you aren't happy with your team? Why hold onto it, just make the changes now

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

      Worth noting: I love my attack at the moment, but the defence is killing it

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

        Technically the attack kills the defence though

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

          What I meant was that the defence was killing the team not the attack but I didn't make that clear so apologies

    4. Recoba
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I would just pay the .2 fine to wait for the gw to be over, then probably sell Stephens for Jones or a 4.5 defender.

    5. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Team looks fine. Stop chasing last weeks points and hold this week for 2FT's next week.

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

        Team selling value would be 99.5 or maybe even 99.4 after the GW though and I'd have to play either Daniels v eve or Stephens v MUN

        1. gunner 2727
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          WC pal, you know it..... plenty enough info now to set a team up and can revert to a couple of hits if encounter some bad luck

  3. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Price changes are happening much less than in the previous seasons. It can't be just the wildcards causing this.

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

      All the changes felt too fast last year so it may be the case that they've tried to slow it down a bit.

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

    Any newcastle fans, who is most likely to play going forwards ...mbemba or gamez?

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Neither from what I know. Most nailed would seem to be Clark imo.

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

    Chaz Daniels time is up
    Best replacement for 5.7 or under (Have Davies)?

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

      Jones or Maguire

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

      Maguire

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

      Keane Maguire Otamendi Monreal

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Monreal.

    5. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Stoke and Burnley rotate well if you have one of those already.

    6. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Otamendi or Cresswell

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

        this

  6. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    2FT's

    Pogba > Gross
    enables
    Quaner > Firmino

    No brainer right?

    1. England23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Hold out, don't want to jinx it but you don't know what will happen to firm yet

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Would consider the 1st one tonight, then hold fire til Liverpool play

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        If Pogba dropping costs you

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

        This

  7. Jimmy Boy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Wimmer nailed?

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

      I would've thought so given the amount they paid for him.

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I would think so.

    3. JRM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Yeah. Hughes is playing three at the back, and with Shawcross injured, only Zouma might be above him in the pecking order at CB.

      Martins-Indi is hardly a threat (been coming off the bench since the start of the season, and signed for 7 mil - nowhere near the 18 mil Wimmer signed for). Cameron not a threat either really. He's getting on and more of a utility player.

  8. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Am i right in saying a players price change progress resets when he has a yellow flag removed like Fraser tonight?

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

      Yes

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

    just realized suttner going to drop tonight.. any ideas for a replacement? is wimmer nailed?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Was thinking exactly the same a couple comments above, I think Tarkowski could be a good differential

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

        I dont know.. both wimmer and him got 2/3 bad fixtures.. and then I might even wc.. so don't know.. let me know if u make a call tonight before deadline..

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

      Stephen Ward

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

      take the drop

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

        might be the right choice... but I was planning to drop the guy on wc anyway, they can't seem to keep a cs and his attacking returns are unlikely... and I do have 2 FT.. but wanted to see all the games because I need 2 to get in Kane if it becomes necessary.. dammit..

    4. RubberDucky
      9 years, 1 day ago

      im looking at Leicester or west ham

      don't think I can take the drop

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

        I dont think i can take a whu def.. who are u looking at from leicester?

  10. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years

    No Love for Mahrez?

    1. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I'm really tempted to go Miki > Mahrez. I'll probably wait until United have tough fixtures end of October.

      If Mahrez was still on pens, I'd probs do it sooner.

    So unlike Che, I did remember to change my team because I'm on the ball with this game and how it works (lol at Che). I'm so on the ball that I swapped Mane to Willian at half time in Liverpool's match last Saturday.

    Willian didn't start his match, and there were lots of rumours of Hazard coming back. But after watching Man Utd's game at Stoke, I thought I'd get Paul Pogba in. This guy is a machine. He scores or assists almost every week.

    Anyway, I didn't realise that Man Utd were playing CL midweek, and Pogba got injured in that game. I thought, enough with these early transfers. I'll wait til proper team news is out and get rid of Pogba at 11:29 on Saturday morning.

    Turns out there was a Friday night game so the deadline was moved wtf?

    To make matters worse, I also brought in Mendy after the Man City game because he looked great, but I brought in Nampalys Mendy who plays for Leicester by mistake, not Benjamin Mendy for Man City. I think I'll have 8 players in total this week (got a load of bench fodder as well as Ibrahimovic before he gets popular).

    I've written to FPL so hopefully they'll sort my team out.

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years

      Haha, top banter!

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years

      You deserve what you get. So sloppy.

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

    Villa Ronka played his WC and similar to mine, I just need Salah.

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

      Good team except Chicarito. Also don't know why you would pick myhill over Elliott

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

        I played WC GW 3 before close of the window and tried to be too smart. Thought that Newc would sign a keeper and hence Myhill would be safer.
        Also removed Gomes for Foster 🙁

        Yeah Last week saloon for Mr Chica, prob get Joselu, then Alonso and Rich out week after for Creswell and Salah

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

          Ahhh understandable then

          Heard Gayle is doing well in training and Mitro back soon. But Rafa is a patriot and will favour Joselu. Don't double up on Newcastle attack for a long period though. We are playing a defensive game.

          Decent moves.

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Replacement for Pogba?
    Chupo
    Jesé
    Silva
    Antonio
    Someone else

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

      Chup or Antman

  14. shirtless

    1. TheTinman

      grats

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

    Suttner, Stephens, Fraser to Kola, Jones, RLC (or other 4.6 max mid) -4, worth it?

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

      wait a week

  16. Henning
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Stupid to get rid of chicharito tonight just becouse of pricedrop, Right?
    Hmmm do you spell becouse like this?

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

      Because

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

        Thanx.: )

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

      yes just hold

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

        Ok.

  17. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Jesus and Salah rising tonight maybe.

    Eriksen Davies Gross Morata ticking away nicely.

    The price rises are coming to me this year. Really don't need to chase them too much.

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

    Lukaku to Jesus done

    *Throws up*

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      before matches have even played ?!??

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

        Plan to out in Kolasinac, won't be able to afford with Jesus rising.....I might regret this

        1. Disco Pat
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Done the same on wildcard tonight...think it'll work.out long term over next few weeks.

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

      What on earth. Is it because Defoe scored?

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

        No haha had to for price rise

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Your link doesn't show any transfers. It also shows that you took a 36 point hit in GW2.

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

        How Bizarre! I had never noticed that before, it was directing to a completely different person's team.

        Updated my link now

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

          It will be your last year's team id

            Ahhh ok thanks

    4. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      About to do the same before the deadline. Figured I'd do it and catch the price rise since planning to WC in the int'l break anyway

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Was i a fool not to do Mkhi to Coutinho before the deadline? Hope i don't regret it 😐

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

      LIV 0-1 BUR FT 😉

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        i think you missed a 1 in front of that 0 for Liverpool 😉

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

      Nope. Risk to get Cout. 60mins max

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        was my thinking. Cheers for the reassurance

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

      Miki to Salah would have been good tho 😉

  20. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Chances of a Lacazette drop soon? Surely owners will keep with that run of fixtures!

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

      Arsenal are gash though.

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

        scored 7 goals in 2 home games against teams better than the one they'll face in week 6 and 7 at home

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

          They're still gash

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

            dont mind as long as they score the goals

    2. Fpl Richie

      Doubling with Kola myself after Chelsea

  21. TorresMagic™

    9 years, 1 day ago

    Hits galore this week

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/36298/event/5

    HoF #1 took a -8 after WCing.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      quite a weak team considering its after a WC and double hit tbh

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

      And he still has an ugly team

    3. Alex_thekid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I'm just about to do my 3rd -4
      To keep and get some TV need some desperately have to get rid of Mee + Xhaha before they fall n get Bavies + 4.5 payed 5.6 for Xhaha

    4. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Wow. Those last 3 season ranks. That is really impressive

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

        For sure, probably gets passed in HoF this GW.

    5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 10 Years

      I like his team now... his opinions as part of the weekly article must have had some flaws... thanks for sharing TM

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

        Bad luck with Mane and Pogba.

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          What about the early Wildcard... Mane and Pogba were this weeks' problems, not last... but it is a game of luck... I took a hit this week over Pogba; may take another this week...

    6. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Went Foster over Elliott. Rookie error 🙂
      Well hopefully

  22. Big baller
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Worth doing Kaku-Kane to catch price rise?

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

      Not really.

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

      Of course not. Price rises should be considered bonuses

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

      no

    4. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      but it is worth doing cos kane will massively outscore lukaku over next month

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    (K)ane Alli Eriksen = around 50 points this GW alone surely?

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

      26 +10+1

      so no

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

      I have the same trio and the same captain

      If it's not too much to ask for I'd quite like a Kane hat trick, an Alli goal, an Alli assist, and the other 3 goals assisted by Eriksen

    3. TheTinman

        so you're a Kane captainer, Alli owner, and Eriksen non-owner right 😛

      Naughton and Carroll probably. Why you have Hemed

      1. Sims

        he's doing the same thing as other strikers under 8m but for a cheaper price

    Really feeling the Bellerin + Kolasinac double up from next GW onwards. Straight swap for Berty and Cedric

      Get in 2 Arsenal defenders? just Kola... they don't get clean sheets and Bellerin's goal was pure chance of a rebound... Kola's was a beauty

    2. Alex_thekid

      Danilo + kola?

    What are the chances Gamez gets another start for Newcastle despite Mmemba back in training??

    1. Football Weekender

      I think they might both be more at risk from Lejuene being back?

      put a shift in last week. On Rafa knows the answer to this tbh
