Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Newcastle

Sunday’s solitary fixture gets underway at 4pm as promoted pair Brighton and Hove Albion and Newcastle United square up at the Amex Stadium.

With many now filling their forward lines with premium frontman, we get the chance to run the rule over a trio of budget midfielders today.

The Seagulls’ Pascal Gross has played a part in all four of his side’s goals so far, serving up two goals and a pair of assists in his last two outings.

He was the second top transfer target for Gameweek 6, with over 381,000 transfers in.

For the Magpies, Matt Ritchie has bagged four assists in his previous three, while Christian Atsu’s goal and assist over his last two starts has also turned heads.

Indeed Ritchie and Atsu, along with team-mates Jamaal Lascelles and Chancel Mbemba have been subject to heavy investment over the last week, with a combined 783,000+ transfers in.

Newcastle number one Rob Elliot is the most owned player for Sunday’s clash, sitting in 23.7% of squads after conceding just once in his previous three. Yet he is the most benched player in the Gameweek, with over 808,000 naming him among their subs.

    Thanks for replies earlier. Gonna be tough get a decent midfield with kane, Morata, lukaku up front especially with low TV. 100.4

    And back line not too hot either according to some. Appreciate the feedback. One shot at this WC and it has to be close to flawless as possible.

      • Freddo

        6 years, 8 months ago

        Quick evening question for you all.

        If ownership was not an issue and it was based purely on gut feeling, who is the better captain option?

        Lukaku H to Palace

        Kane A to Huddersfield

        Not the safest pick as ownership is not a factor, who do you think is the best pick?

              I'm sure your intention wasn't to be unfriendly but J.F did take the trouble to reply to you. A 'thanks' and follow up question would have been a nicer way of doing things.

                No, you're right, I wasn't trying to be unfriendly.

                Thanks for replying but can you read the question again and then answer?

                That ok now?

        Was planning on wildcarding after Gameweek 7. Did horrendously this week - got 40 points with Kolasinac to play. Should I stick with my guns, or wildcard early? I feel like many players have good games next week. This is the team I played this week. Got:

        Eliot (2).
        Alonso (0) - Davies (1) - Kolasinac (tbd)
        Salah (7) - Mkhitaryan (3) Eriksen (9) - Willian (3)
        Lukaku (7)- Vardy (6) - Calvert-Lewin (2)

        Benched: Foster, Can, Hegazi.

        Did Mkhi to Silva to catch his price wise and need a City player.

        Should I wildcard or wait?

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Did Vardy not get 3 pts?

          1. Unfathomable Ruination
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Sorry, I captained Vardy.

            He was on 12 points for me and drew the penalty and then the whole GW fell apart.

            The shortest party Jamie Vardy has ever had.

        2. GE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Very similar situation (see below).

          Have no clue 🙂

        3. diesel001
          • 7 Years

          Wait. Good fixtures next week. Then WC.

        4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Wait. Willian out and you are good.
          Saw a post earlier a guy got 40 last week. Made no transfers and got 88 this week
          Patience

          1. Veezeeboy
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Exactly this .
            I WC ed last week as well thinking team was poor
            Would have scored 85 or more if I hadn't touched it .
            Just remove Willian

            1. SuperMane Returns
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              My WC team this wkd is 72 pts with Kola to play, but if I hadn't done it I would only have had 47 points all out. So I'm counting my WC as a moderate success.

              1. Veezeeboy
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Yup I'd say much better than mine haha

      • GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Use my 2FT for 2 punts next GW and WC in the international break or transfer in more long term players (i.e. Jesus -> Morata this week) and save WC to later?

        Team:

        (2FT, 0.2 itb)

        Foster (Elliot)
        Alonso/Davies/Jones/Daniels (Mbemba)
        Eriksen/Alli/Ritchie (T. Carroll, RLC)
        Lukaku/Jesus/Firmino

        1. Unfathomable Ruination
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I have the same dilemma. Except used 2 free transfers last week. I have Foster, Eiliot, Alonso, Davies, Eriksen, Lukaku. Got rid of Firmino for Vardy - what a headache. I like City but have Silva vs. Jesus. Started with Jesus, sold him and KDB. Last week captained Firmino and without Mane, he hasn't really scored. I'd way probably wait.

          1. GE
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            With City and Chelsea against each other so many things can happen so I will wait and take a new decision after that match.

            Do you keep Jesus?

            1. Unfathomable Ruination
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Hard to say given the fixture. It'll be a tough game. I'd say points-wise they're not too far apart, Jesus is just down a game. Who do you think will win?

              1. GE
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                2-2

        2. jimmy.floyd
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Jesus to Morata

        3. soup natsi
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Your long term transfer is Jesus to Morata? Have you checked their fixtures?

          1. GE
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Next match is Chelsea-City so it's maybe a little bit sideways if Jesus plays against Chelsea. Both have good fixture, but Morata more nailed

            1. soup natsi
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              That's just next game! And City have Stoke and Burnley at home in the next two!

              1. GE
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                But is Jesus nailed?

                1. soup natsi
                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  He won't be on the bench every week, that's for sure.

                  1. GE
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 8 months ago

                    Isn't Morata then better?

                    1. soup natsi
                      • 9 Years
                      6 years, 8 months ago

                      In a way he is, but it's not exactly a long term pick, that's my point. Both teams have good fixtures, both will get minutes, Jesus less than Morata but City more attacking than Chelsea so it's quite close, not exactly a long term shift as you might find yourself wanting to sell Morata for Aguero in two gw's time.

                      1. GE
                        • 7 Years
                        6 years, 8 months ago

                        Next GW I probably want to do Lukaku -> Aguero

          You'll be alright. Like Firmino is on a lightning streak. You'd need to WC in a whole team of non players to throw away your season. Vardy will score more over next 6.

        5. Yozzer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Daft move imo. Especially before the champs league games. Just to save .1. Firmino with mane back is the reason everyone bought him in first place

        6. I Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I did the same move. Firmino could punish us but at the end of the day Vardy has better form, better fixtures and won't have to go to South America over the international break.

        7. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Firmino will score soon, very soon.

          Points over value is what they say. Newcastle next won't be a walk in the park for Liverpool but they'll be back to full strength with Mané returning so I would still expect them to come out on top...

        2-3 weeks ago, Firmino was almost essential, and now he is suddenly a useless option? Dont be too knee jerky, I think he will score next GW

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I think people are just getting twitchy due to Morata banging in a hat trick and a lot already owning Kane/Lukaku.

          Sturridge suddenly getting pitch time doesn't help matters

          I'm with you. You don't become crap after two blanks. Kane has done alright after August?

            Firmino is rubbish.

              Fair enough, but as long as Liverpool score 3-4 goals every match, he will surely be involved

          3 blanks in a row is usually a good enough reason to sell when there are more in form options isn't it?

          1. Kingtekkerz
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            With all the big hitters scoring big, I can definitely see why people are selling, but I would say his prospects are as good as they were some couple of weeks ago. I think he has been a bit unlucky the last matches tbh

            1. I Member
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I agree with that but a few weeks ago City assets, Morata and Vardy weren't as appealing as they are now.

                I know Ritchie is the safe choice but with stokes fixtures I've got a feeling that one of those 2 could do really well. Saying that, I'm not in need of a diff so I'll probably just play it safe. Cheers

        Do you chase the money this week and avoid price falls rises, knowing you're on a WC in the international, or do you avoid the flailing knee and take the lack of TV on the chin next week?

          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It's people like morata I'm thinking who will undoubtedly rise by 0.2 this week. I don't want him but I may WC to him for the palace game. If I don't move now I'm making my team 0.2 worse

          1. TorresMagic™

            • 15 Years

            You have the midweek issue also.

          2. Qualts
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            The 0.2 comes from the fact it's Firm I'd swap btw

              • Has Moderation Rights

          • 9 Years

          what transfer are you looking at?

          1. Qualts
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Firm mik/rambo-> Morata, Gross

            It means I get the price rises but I suffer next week I reckon

            1. Qualts
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              You could get either back in on the WC after next week.

              Defo points over money, but it feels like the money = points in the long run

            2. F4L
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I wouldn't do those personally. Not this week

        3. Iceball
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          If no urgent use of transfer then try avoid a fall but might depend on player. Firm to Vardy and then WC seems ok but then you risk midweek trouble

          1. Qualts
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Firm vs new with Mane back is a reasonable fixture,

            Or would you try and chase another price rise to compensate,

            Maybe firm to abrahams?

      • FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        People have short memories when it comes to Firmino.

        Look at his individual gameweek scores from last season ... lots of very long consecutive blanks.

        I held him for about 12 gameweeks last season. By the time his points came, it was such a hollow victory.

        Get rid. ASAP.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          don't think you can say that. For a lot of those blanks, the Pool team was depleted, (coutinho injured, mane away at AFCON + injured). When Firmino plays up top, with Mane and Salah flanking him, with Coutinho in the mid, he will get points consistently

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            He plays well and Klopp loves what he does ... it just doesn't translate into fantasy football points.

            Moreover, he is simply not a striker.

            1. F4L
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              possibly, but with pens I still think he will reach 15-20 goals and get his fair share of assists. Firmino owners need to be patient with him to get those points though

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                I speak from bitter experience. I was so patient with Firmino last season and I even ignored Alli and Eriksen to stick with him. It basically derailed my season.

                It's the same manager, the same system, almost exactly the same personnel ... I wouldn't expect things to be vastly different.

            2. Fantasy Gold
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Was he on pens last season? Salah coming in also heightens his appeal as so much defensive focus from the opposition falls to Salah and Mané

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                He goes on very long runs of blanks. Hopefully it won't be the case this season for you, but I'm staying clear. Not going back.

              he may not be a classic number 9 but he is a forward.
              He's basically in the same role as last year so he's offering a goal & an assist every 3 games.You'd take that most years from a mid or 8.5m striker.
              This year is just different with more than usual premium strikers doing well.
              captaincy issues aside Firmino & Silva could be a better option than morata & a 6.5ish mid.
              Looked at a lot of the higher scoring sides (80+ pts) this GW in top100 or so and very few are using a loaded front line. Most had a couple of premium strikers but also had good points from balanced mids & defences.
              I'm not sure I've seen many sides I like with loaded front lines. Yep they may return good forward points but the stripped mids and/or defences aren't offering a lot so scores (even in a big week for forwards like this one) aren't that far ahead of the average.

          Worth keeping for a week. Would get rid after that maybe.

          Suggestions for a replacement in the low/medium budget bracket? I really don't want three big hitters up front.

            I'd get Calvert Lewin and go 3-5-2 in that case.

              Yep, certainly beats Quaner ! I like the look of him too.

          I'm not ready to write him off yet, still think he's a good pick, but he's taking up a valuable forward position which could go to a more in form player like Morata or Vardy. Plus I already have Salah from Liverpool.

        Some help would be appreciated. Which is my best option here? 0.2 ITB:

        A - Kun > Lukaku for one week only
        B - Gabbi > Chicarito
        C - Alli & Gabbi > Richarlison & Morata for -4 hit

        DDG
        Mee - Bavies - Mbemba
        Salah - Alli - Ramsey - Ritchie - Carroll
        Kane - Aguero

        Bench; Elliott - Hegazi - TAA - Gabbi

      • Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Andy Carroll loves a goal vs Swansea.

        If I knew he'd start, he might be a nice little punt

      • Dybala10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Is Firmino the most frustrating player to own in FPL history? Worse than Hazard?

        The guy is so streaky and whenever I opt for him he bags 2/3 points historically.

        One more week to impress and see what impact Mane has on his returns.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Have to back him vs Newcastle imo and then move on if he does bugger all.

          Rafa will sit Newcastle deep to frustrate so just gotta hope Pool get an early goal to open things up

        2. Sims
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          at the end of the end he is an average footballer and such footballers will never be consistent

          1. bench boost for every gamew…

            eh...

            really hoping that was a an ironic message, otherwise it´s a plain stupid one im afraid

          • 11 Years

          Always been this way
          Patchy on a similar level to hazard for me but he ll end up at top 5-7 strikers somehow and turn it around in the second half of the season .

          1. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            kind of agree, a little patchy but last season due to severe damagement around christmas due to LIverpools squad being bare and boned for a long run of matches

            think liverpool wil score a lot so he will be amongst the goal sooner rather than later

        So my plan is to WC in GW8 but I have 2 FT's already so I wanted to spend those this week.

        Foster | Elliot
        Valencia | Davies | TAA | Suttner | Long
        Eriksen | Salah | Mkhi | Carroll | RLC
        Lukaku | Jesus | Firmino

        £0.0 ITB

        One plan was to downgrade Firmino and then upgrade Jesus to Kane as his away form is killer at the moment. Or I could find a way to upgrade one of the £4.5 mids for one GW? Cheers.

      • Bolasie
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        One gameweek only?

        A, Chica, Ince, Kolasinac
        B, Firmino, Fella, Monreal

        2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years

          -8? Neither of those are worth -8

      • Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking of doing Alli & Gabbi > Richarlison & Morata for a -4 hit. Is this a worthwhile move (especially downgrading Alli) or should I simply do Gabbi / Chicarito for no hit?

        Thanks

        1. Veezeeboy
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Like the hit long term if you're aren't using WC next week.
          I would do it personally.
          If you go chicha you're stuck with him , I'd rather be stuck with Morata and downgrade later if need be.

          1. Jet5605
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks. I was trying to avoid using my WC next week as I don't think my squad needs major work. Maybe just need to clean up TAA, Carroll, Hegazi over GWs 8-10 after I bring in Morata & Richarlison. What do you think?

            DDG - Elliott
            Bavies - Mee - Hegazi - TAA - Mbemba
            Salah - Alli - Ramsey - Ritchie - Carroll
            Kane - Kun - Gabbi

        Kun -> Lukaku FT Yay or Nay? Will WC after next GW.

        Foster
        Jones / Davies / Mee
        Eriksen / Mkhi / Willian / Brady
        Kane / Kun / Firmino

        Myhill / Carroll / Hegazi / TAA
