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.

    Any chance of an Elliot save point?

    1. Rainer
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If he makes another save from an on target shot, yes.

    2. diesel001

      Mat Ryan the keeper you want today. Loads of saves.

      1. Nomar
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly on my bench for Fabianski.

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Time for a late Ryan clanger to let Ritchie score & also lose his place to Tim Krul

    1. Sailboats
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't forget Elliot assist for the Ritchie goal

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep

    2. FPL Virgin

      I wonder if Speroni has more chance of playing than Krul. Roy may try switching things up to stop the barrage of goals.

  3. Flynny

    Suppose 10 points from Elliot suttner and ritchie is acceptable...

  5. Sim Simma

  6. Differentiator

    dirty hemed

  9. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So it looks like my Firm and Willian to Jesus and Gross worked out exactly net 0 points! (-4 hit, Jesus not playing means I get Lowe's 6 pts off the bench)

    Not sure how I feel about that tbh

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *pls don't score now Newcastle*

  10. Dr. DOOM
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one please. 2FTs available

    A. Alonso + Firm - Aguero + Maguire/5.5
    B. Firm - Vardy and save 1 FT.

    Just checking my options.

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey could get 26 points tomorrow, right?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      or -2

    2. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take 6 of those right now

    3. Siggy in the Middle
      9 years, 1 month ago

      4 goals, 3 BAPs, 1 CS and 60+ mins played. It's in the bag.

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

      4 goals for him should do it

  12. Ginkapo FPL
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Shelvey is playing well and pushing closest to creating chances.

    Yes, his name is not Matt Ritchie, but that is no reason for you all to be jerks.

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

      He shouldn't be playing at all

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is a massive jerk though

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And that excuses the actions of others how?

    3. Pochecinno
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You're right it's not Matt Ritchie. It's Tom Riddle.
