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.

    Well this has lacked quality.

      No pace, no physicality, preseason friendly.

    This game needs some Cologne fans

    Really looking forward to get Daniels when fixtures swing

    1. FantasyNik123

      This. Would've liked him even more if bournemouth played a 352 but hes playing pretty far up now.

    Pogba + Cicha -> Vardy + Jese -4 before Pogba drop?

      I used to be a masochist but i'm alright "Ouch"

  7. Mull

    Gross on 3 tackles. 4 extra points in Sky.

  8. Sim Simma

    CDaniels owners rejoice .. Clean sheet guaranteed

    Daniels and Adam Smith potentially 3 baps.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Daniels bossing it.

    2. Atimis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Daniels the only one to watch here

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

    What I don't understand..... How are Bournemouth worse than last year? I mean Ake and Defoe are not poor signings.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Everything just gelled last year, and everything King hit went in.

      They also played England under 21 captain, Lewis, in a lot of games.

    Well on the bright side, anyone playing any Bournemouth defenders must be happy. Brighton are just playing for a 0-0 draw

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

      Bright(ton) side

  12. That Was Easy!
    • 12 Years

    Daniels is playing every position on the pitch.

  13. Sims

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

        West Brom can be very inconsistent at times.

    2. Mull
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Brighton's expected goals total was woeful.

        Where the F*** can I see expected goals? I've asked this a thousand times and never get an answer, it's killing me haha.

          Like for individuals and for teams.

      Mark bought him on a wildcard. 😆

  14. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    International break anyone?

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

      I'd rather watch Liechtenstein vs Macedonia

  15. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Is Chicha a good option now that Andy is back?

    Need to move him on but for who?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Not sure what a fella from the scoutcast has to do with Hernandez.

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

        Need a good replacement for him and Hegazi. Apparently Phillips as well

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Aguero?

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

        7.0m is the budget, or less

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Morata

  16. diesel001

    Josh King as a striker for £7.3m. You got to be joking.

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

      Fpl towers ruined him as a fantasy asset classifying him as a striker.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      If/When Defoe gets injured King could be a nice buy

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

      Actually, if people have been paying 7m for Gabbi, 7.3m for King looks well worth it.

    4. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      the King/Defoe combo just doesn't seem like it works that well in a 4-4-2

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

    Fingers crossed for Clarke Carlisle, as well as anyone else in a similar position

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      You know he's been found safe and well? 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        No. Thanks.

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        He has been found safe
        Nobody has said "and well"

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

          Physically well is what he clearly means.

          Good news, perhaps just needed some head space.

  18. SilkySkills
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    14% possession lol

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How many goals did Brighton score last season ?

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

      74 allegedly.

  20. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bournemouth players playing for their BPS passing stats.

  21. THE Wild Rover

    Well done Bournemouth def owners

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

      Not for long

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

      Francis at 4.4 will be decent value at some point

  22. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    I don't want this half to end

    1. Atimis
      • 10 Years

      😀

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Is that because it's your turn to make the cups of tea?

  23. battystutor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Should've just given the : points to the team deemed to have the best fish and chips rather than putting folks through this horrid fare

    1. Monkey Hanger

      Whitby. PL Champs.

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

    9 pointers all around here. Daniels Suttner owners to share 3 baps each.

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Brighton look well drilled defensively and Bournemouth aren't good enough to break them down.

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

      This, exactly. This is what happens when a side that isn't used to having possession ad oftentimes scored on counters ends up dominating possession. They lack the talent and creative flair to break down a side whose shape is actually pretty good.

      Let's hope they figure out something in the second half.

  26. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Yes!! No added time!!!

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

      😆

  27. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Not sure if Brighton will have a touch in the box here

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

    Got Partick v Rangers on, ahem...

    But as for this game, is there any reason to regret not keeping Gross after the price rise on WC?

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

    Hemed getting the same number of points as Mounie for 1.2m cheaper nice

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

      😆 it's the way to go, I think we've realised this now.

      I'd have gone for Quaner if I'd gone that route. Sacrifice a point for .4 saving

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

      Sadly, this.

  30. Feloh
