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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          No idea. Plenty of Elliot owners likely.

        If only Elliot made one more save would have smashed the avg today.

      Jesus owners - what are you doing? Sticking with or getting rid?

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Fooking Toon. Chancel was their best player and Benitez drags on him with 10 to go. He was poised to get the equaliser

    • Stat Sloth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Dear enlightened FFS community,

      Hemed scored a goal today, and proved once again that he is a poacher capable of a PL level.

      However, about ten to fifteen minutes left of the game, Hemed stomped on DeYedlin's calf, and in my eyes it looked like an intentional act. The referee did not catch the incident live.

      Do you think he will be suspended for this? I kind of remember Emre Can being given a three match suspension for the same thing? Any other relevant examples? (Yes, the reason for this is that I am looking for a cheap third striker for my team)

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        yes, 3 match ban incoming

        1. Stat Sloth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Ergo - stay away from Brighton strikers.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Was just about to ask what these ban comments were.

        I am forever indebted to you good Sir.

        1. Stat Sloth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          It was my utmost pleasure, ol' chap.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yes maybe, I think they have the option to review it retrospectively...

        1. Stat Sloth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          And they most certainly will. Hooray for those of us who did not fall for the temptation to buy Hemed mid-game.

          1. G-Whizz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Mid-game? Never in a million years would I do a transfer while games are playing or to be played. Have a rule to only do transfers on a Friday, although Sergio this week did make me jump early and I've caught a £0.1m profit for it lol

            1. Stat Sloth
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Not talking about you, my good man. More me and my peers of poor judgment calls 😉

      4. Yozzer
        • 8 Years

        It's a small player from a small team. FA will not show leniency

        1. Stat Sloth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          FA are not daring enough to discriminate openly. However, I do support your call about "no leniency".

      Any thoughts on Firmino at Newcastle next week -- Keep him? Sell? He's next to Kane and Kaku. Vardy is tempting, and I have 2FTs for GW7.

      A 'Rough' for Jonty in the Scoutcast....

      Lad in my work league had Jesus, Kane & Kun up top, also Coutinho in midfield. Had Jesus (c), but forgot to change his VC - he thought he had done Coutinho as VC, but had left it as GK from pre WC - so step forward Hugo Lloris...LOL....2 points instead of Coutinho's 26....OUCH

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

      Ritchie not worth 6m for set pieces alone. Needs to show a bit more open play

        Ok. More points for me then.

        Agree, he was very poor today.

        Ritchie to Carrick downgrade Morata enabler incoming

        Wonder what you would've said for Kane for being worth 12.5m with pens

          Lane shows a lot from open play what a ridiculous comment

      Sanchez and Kola to save the week. Hoping for 20+ pts, expecting 4.

        Sanchez won't start but might get a goal late on.

        Kola 9pts

          How do you know he wont start? You spoke with Wenger or something?

          Think he will now that he's had game time and Welbeck is injured.

          Right now I'd take a clean sheet but in reality need some attacking returns to be honest...

          Wenger said he's now match fit for the premier league and will have enough rest to start, don't see why he won't

        Sanchez (c) here... 😉

          Same, hoping for a brace to save my gameweek

            He loves playing Brom... 🙂

      Any chance Dunk sneaks a bonus point?

      Made some good blocks at the end
