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.

    Suttner and Daniels owner. Sorry, but more of this 😉

      have both but Suttner is second sub.. well if Yoshida does not play, he gets in 😛

      Same here. Hoping my 8 point hit can be made up by 2 clean sheets from Suttner and Daniels and that would be amazing

        You didn't take an 8 point hit for Suttner and Daniels right? 😛

          Haha, no I brought in Alli + Abraham 😛

      Haha I'm Suttner and Ake let's hope for a 0-0 and Markus bonus!

    Can someone please tell me where all these expected goals and assists stats have been coming from recently? Everyone seems to have access to them.

          The xG stat is from Opta, I believe.

        Thanks! Green numbers mean that team is destined for more goals or less against and vise versa with red?

          I can only see past results. Green= Goals scored > xG

            You looking at the league table or results?

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

              League table. For example, Lukaku at 4.26 ExG is underperforming by .26 with only 4 goals, correct?

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                Chelsea have scored 8 goals but their expected was 4.4, so they're overperforming?

                  • 15 Years

                I'll be honest, I got no fecking idea how to read that 😆
                Just got it the other day and yet to play around there tbh...

                9 years, 1 day ago

                At a guess I would say the green would mean over performing red under...

    Every clean sheet Brighton get will be a miracle with Shane Duffy playing...

      What exactly are you expecting from a midfielder of that price range playing for a newly promoted team?

      1. Fanta sea
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        atleast 25+ goals a season and atleast 15 assists

      If Groß played behind Aguero and Jesus he would be worth having. Unfortunately, he doesn't.

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

        Yeah, but if Groß played behind Aguero and Jesus he'd be a severe rotation risk valued at £8.5m. 🙂

    Any early ideas? 1FT, .2 ITB

    Elliot
    Alonso | Davies | Bertrand
    Eriksen | Mkhi | Phillips | Atsu
    Kane | Lukaku | Chicarito

    Foster, Yoshida, Carroll, 4.0

    I was thinking Bertrand, Phillips -> Kolasinac, 5.6 for a hit. Want to leave 0.1m ITB to do Yoshida -> Jones GW7. If Chica start banging them in I don't think I need to WC any time soon.

        Haha exactly. But that seems way to go unless I go Foster -> 4.0

        First week it was Fraser, then it was Mooy, then it was Brady and currently it's now Gross/Chuopo-chups

      Mate at least wait for one game to finish. Literally anyone could get dropped/injured/suspended. What's the point of looking now

  9. Dr Dream

    Anyway...enough of this match...

    My brother brought in all of KDB Silva and Danilo vs Watford.

    Why do I never think of such stuff....I'm scared...

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

      Marco Silva has got your back

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

        This. Also Guardiola.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Silva barely gets fpl returns, Danilo might not play and even if he does Watford could score and KDB will be back in his normal defensive role

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

      People often get an idea about something and blindly stick to it without a second thought. City beat them 5-0 in their last visit and finished off Liverpool with the same score, Watford are a different team this season under Silva and City could easily struggle.

  10. Loðbrók

    A) Jesus + Carroll (Play RLC, Carroll Or defender every week)
    B) Vardy + Jese (Or 6.6m)

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

      He's been awful offensively and defensively so far. Daniels running rings round him

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

      has looked terrible

    3. Sepp Blattered

      Decent - Just plating for a relegation battling club that's all

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

      He is the best player in that team but they aren't set up for his strengths

    5. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He has been disciplined and has made 4 recoveries already so doing a decent job of it . Much more affective player offensively at home.

    Probably just me being salty as an owner, but does anyone know of a site where I can see the live bonus points score breakdown? Kind dumbfounded Dunk is one of the lowest of the eight defenders thus far. Been immense.

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

      Same. I think Bournemouth defenders are picking up points by 'regaining possession' because of Brightons horrendous attempts at balls forward. Aimless

      1. Ramboros
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        All of Bournemouth have completed 30 passes. They aren't going to get more points from passing in the second half. Most of the Brighton players will.

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

      it's probably partly because they've had a lot less possession than Bournemouth

      I'd guess that ~50% of teams are dead by now.
