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.

    Looking at Downgrading Ake to a Stoke defender to rotate with Mee.

    Is Wimmer a good shout? Will he play next 4-5 games? When is Shawcross back?

      More answers to come after tomorrow's game.

      Take a look at a Leicester defender to rotate with Mee, gives great fixtures and for a long time.
      Leicester better than Stoke anyway, in my opinion. Personally about to switch Daniels to Simpson on GW7 WC.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Simpson or Maguire?

        1. Mo Mané No Problems
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Simpson for me. A few reasons:
          > Cheaper by 0.6 at 4.5M.
          > Completely nailed on, taking a look at Leicester squad on FPL they don't seem to have another RB.
          > Only plus point of Maguire is the goal threat but don't think he can keep that up or will score too many over the season. Whereas Simpson has assist potential anyway, as much as Maguire has goal potential.

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

            Interesting. I might have just found my Ake replacement.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if they play 3 at the back he has more chance of playing but competing with shawcross/indi/zouma

      if they play 2 at the back he's warming the bench I reckon

  3. FantasyNik123

    Bertrand to Bavies seem like the next logical move? Have accepted that Dunk and Ince will fall, and Hegazi a 50/50 to fall depending on the game tomorrow. Want to transfer out Hegazi to cash in on the profit, but first transfer should be Bertrand to Bavies for the next 2 gws?

    Foster (Myhill)
    Jones Bertrand Dunk (Hegazlol, Long)
    Salah Eriksen Ritchie Ince (TC)
    Vardy LuKaneku

    1. Pochecinno
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aren't you the wingback guy? Yeah, it would be a start to begin practicing what you preach 😉

      Nice HT btw

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I should, shouldn't I? Haha. 🙂 I did that research because I wanted to see if the Ritchie + Ince was sustainable without transferring one out every two weeks, and I don't think it is. That being said my priority this week wasn't shipping in wingbacks, it was to get rid of Awfuliaddini and Cash Mane.

  4. MidasBoys XI
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone keeping Mane?

    1. Pochecinno
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did you keep him for tomorrow?

      1. MidasBoys XI
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's on the bench

        1. Pochecinno
          9 years, 1 month ago

          As I said below, it's only one more game.

    2. Rhinos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      well if you've kept him this long

      1. MidasBoys XI
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I got him at 9.5 and as he's only going to be missing 2 games. He goes down .1 more then he'll go straight back up as soon as his ban is completed

        1. Pochecinno
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well if you still own him, it's only one more game.

          1. MidasBoys XI
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I got Erikson, Sane, Mikhi and Chuopo to cover him

            1. Pochecinno
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I'd worry about Sane, but then it's only one game.

              1. MidasBoys XI
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I'm not too worried about Sane, he came off the bench and got 13 points last gw did he not and chances look favourable for him to start this week as he didn't play cl

        2. noquarternt
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But it's more about the fact that you have 9.5 definitely returning 0 for 2 games...

          1. MidasBoys XI
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The fact Bly one I'm currently concerned about is little pea. If he blanks this week then he's out for Vardy more than likely as he's got favourable up and coming games

            1. MidasBoys XI
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Typo fail. Should be the only one I'm concerned about

            2. noquarternt
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Just seen you've got Sané and Chicharito as well. I'd consider wildcarding.

              1. MidasBoys XI
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Nah, Sane is good for now he seems to be hitting form and little pea will prob be replaced for Vardy. Long term short to med term Sane may get swapped out for Pogba when he returns

              2. MidasBoys XI
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I'd swap out lukaku and beef up your minds. Your team looks weak in midfield

  5. SilkySkills
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone looking to get rid of jones ?

    1. Pochecinno
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just go him in 😉

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Looking to bring him in potentially...

    4. Big_Andy_GAWA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was condidering, but reckon Jose will be looking for 1 or 2-0 wins in next matches.

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes not this week but week after. He funds Kola and I think I will keep Cedric. Has to be rotated sometime for Lindleof ( who to be fair looks bad) and fixtures not as good. But not many agree 🙂

    6. Shultan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only after the crystal palace game

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just W/carded. Yeah was absolutely fine, but fancied for fixture swing.

    One thing, can't fit Sanchez in. :o/

  7. Clickzy

    Only went and missed the deadline with 2 FTs :'(

    1. F4L

      I'm guessing your grav doesn't reflect your mood now then

  8. Rik Waller
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which Arsenal players would be top of your shopping list for their tasty upcoming fixtures?

    1. Pochecinno
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasinac

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kola and Ramsey new players in my W/C

      3. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looking at stats, do you not think Bellerin might be a better option at 5.9?

        1. Pochecinno
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Kolasinac far superior to Bellerin on the eye test. Haven't seen a stat comparison.

    2. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasinac, Monreal (budget option), Lacazette. Monitoring Ramsey, Sanchez

    3. Rhinos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez c gw6

    4. Rik Waller
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh looking at Kola and Lacazette. Sanchez as a possible Lukaku replacement if I have the balls.

    5. noquarternt
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasinac for sure.
      Game v Chelsea is an audition for most of the others. Sanchez is always on the radar once he gets going. If Welbeck keeps his place and Wenger gives him more praise, could genuinely be tempted.

  9. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How long til price changes?

    1. Albrightondknight

    2 episodes into American Vandal... it's like Making a Murderer+CSI+d**k jokes... brilliant!

  12. Patty
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Worth taking JWP out before he drops?
    I'd probably get Choupo, Brady or Ritchie
    I can afford a drop but my TV is only at 100.6 so looking to improve that

    1. Rhinos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no seeing as none of them have played

  13. Bird Raymond

    Does anybody know what a good wildcard team looks like? Not happy with my team but the alternatives I come up with look worse!

    1. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I do

    2. Shultan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well then just stick with what you have for now

    4. Albrightondknight

      Needs to have Kane Eriksen Alonso Kola Davies and punt Cout.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    9 years, 1 month ago

    what about these 2 moves?

    Ake and Micky to Kola and Ramsey for free

    Will judge after this gw but potentially looking at removing micky before lukaku

    1. KingNidge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kola immense option
      Ramsey shite

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        9 years, 1 month ago

        lol true

        He was the big talk here a few weeks ago? Just thinking even he might have a chance in those 2 juicy games

        1. KingNidge
          9 years, 1 month ago

          People getting over hyped with the 7 mil price tag forgetting he scored once last season.. don't get me wrong he may get a few points over the next couple but if he doesn't he will be first on the list to ditch again and that 7 category is dire

          1. fedolefan
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I think people want Arsenal coverage and Kola is expensive. Getting in Davies Kola and a big 5 attack is a bit tricky without a WC.

    2. Shultan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes to kola...no to ramsey

  15. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So, Mark got abuse for having two £4.5m mids. I've got two, and my 3rd is a £5.5 (Brady). Is this a problem or is Chicharito a bigger problem? Ideally I'd like to upgrade Chich, which would further my midfield issues. I clearly have to strip my defence a bit. Any advice? I think after this GW I am going to need to take one hit.

    Lossl
    Cedric Jones Alonso Bavies
    Mkhi Brady Erik
    Lukaku Chich Kane

    Foster TFM Chalobah Carroll

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

      Go all out - lose Brady for another 4.5 mid and upgrade TFM.

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

      Morata for Lukaku and Cout for Brady and we nearly got the same team
      But I think I will lose Mhki Chica and Jones for 4.5 Vardy and Kola

    3. DAN DARE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've got TC, RLC and Brady. As long as you rotate (and hv 4 good defs, which you do), I dont see the issue

    4. Shultan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Your defence is bettet though! A lot of the criticism about marks 2 4.5 mids was he didnt have attacking defenders

  16. Jam0sh

    Hello guys. Thoughts what to do with this lot after midweek Carabao?

    Foster
    Davies, Jones, Stephens
    Willian, Eriksen, Mkhitaryan, Choupo-Moting
    Lukaku, Kane, Firmino

    Subs: Elliott --- Suttner, Carroll, Long --- 0.3 ITB, 1 FT

    A) Willian -> Ritchie
    B) Willian & Stephens -> Ritchie & Kolasinac (-4)

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

      Probably B

    2. Shultan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  17. gilean

    Considering Danny Simpson on for Stephens tonight. Thoughts?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i'd advise waiting, simpson could get injured

    Anyone considering captaining Kane at West Ham next week?

    He's played 4 games away to West Ham and has only scored once (an own goal in May 2014).

    At least he has a better record at home to Swansea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZO1WqyLe0w

    1. Rhinos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure everyone here is considering it

    2. More Tragic

      wouldn't mind that happening again later today

    3. noquarternt
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hrm I dunno...maybe everyone?

  19. GREEN IS GOOD
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If about 10 more people vote for Kane in the captain poll, we can get him up to exactly 50%.

    You'll thank me later.

      Well, by delaying getting Davies I was out by .1for my double transfer. Minus 4 was needed.

    4. noquarternt

      People wildcarded over losing 0.4 over the international break...just mental.

    2. Shultan

      Yeah i was hoping to keep my WC until then....but had to use it due to injuries & bans & players at rotation risk

      Could be the perfect time to swap Pool, United and maybe Spurs premium players for 3 gameweeks at least

    Maguire worth the extra cash over Simpson? Is there another mid-table team you'd consider a defender from? (not Stoke because I don't fancy Wimmer, nor their 5.0s)

    1. Rhinos
