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.

    My team is so so bad right now. I only got Joselu over Abraham because of some stats even though i never believe in stats. I need to just wildcard.

    You just know Shelvey is going to score next week vs Liverpool

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

        True that, he already scored a OG against them for Swansea so liable to do anything

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Is he eligible to play?

  22. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years

    A) Coutinho + Hemed
    B) Joslu + David Silva

  23. Rock n Grohl

    Ritchie really is both selfish and wasteful

    Best 4.5 or less newcastle defender to buy?
    Considering nailed ness and BAPD potential..

    A) Mbemba
    B) Yedlin
    C) Clarke

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Right now I hope Brighton get a peno, just so it gives Elliott a chance to save it. Don't care if it goes in and I lose another 2pts....
