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.

      Move Lowe out. Horrendous fixtures coming up.

        Rest of the team is good?

      kane to morata and gross or ritchie to silva in gw 9

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

        I'll downgrade one of the top 3 but when/if they drop form or get injured

  2. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on:

    A) Firmino -> Vardy
    B) Firmino + Alonso -> Morata + 5.5 (-4)
    C) Other
    D) Save

    Current team:

    Lössl.
    Alonso. Davies. Jones.
    Eriksen. Silva. Choupo-Mating. Groß.
    Kane. Kun. Firmino.

    Sub: Elliott. Hegazi. Mbemba. Carroll. 0.1 itb. 1FT. No WC.

    Thanks all.

    68 pts..not bad
    But dissapointed a lot with Firmino. Blanked 3rd in a row. What is the situation with Rooney and his eye? Could he recover for next week game? Everton has great set of fixtures so I want him instead of Firm and then upgrade Mkhi to Salah. What do you think guys?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy better option imo.

    2. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      firmino loves mane around happen last year same thing , mane will be back next week so i guess firmino gonna start gtting some points back in 🙂 i gonna stick at leased for couple more weeks

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Firnino vs that garbage we seen today. I'd keep

  4. Galza
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Joselu > Okazaki...?
    Got 2 FTs but only want to use 1...

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

      abraham!

      1. Galza
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe..
        Both have some good fixtures..
        Not the best way to pick a player, but I think it might be quite fun to own Okazaki... 😉

  5. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years

    Probability of Calvert Lewin starting matches?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years

      75%

  6. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    got stuck at the bottom

    This team is G2G rightio chaps?

    Fabianski / Elliot
    Kola Davies Maguire Wimmer / Ward
    Salah D.Silva Ritchie / Loftus Chalobah
    Aguero Lukaku Morata

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Decent squad.

    2. H-SF
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yep looks very tidy

  7. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Little bit disappointed by Atsu and Elliot today but 84 points is still decent.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      lol

      1. SuperMane Returns

        Ban

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

      84 points but no Grav? 😮

  8. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    keeping firmino despite all, he is almost due

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He looked awful though. Newcastle are decent.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      "He is almost due" . What does this actually mean ?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Means he's gonna pop

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years

          pop what?

          1. Pochecinno
            • 10 Years

            His cherry

      Close to scoring yesterday

  9. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino Ramsey to Morata Atsu for next GW? Otherwise Im priced out

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hold

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Why?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Mid week game and anything could happen. Im is the same boat but with Firmino and Mkhi to Vardy and Silva. Its a real gamble to do early transfers especially with mid week games. But it's your call if you want to risk it. I'm tempted myself

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do it.

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years

      wai until gw9 and get RLC 🙂

    Lolverpool defence vs joselol will make for a super Sunday itself next week

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might not even start.

  11. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Forster Elliot
    Cedric Bailly Kolasinac Duffy Mbemba
    Salah Eriksen Ramsey Gross Tarroll
    Kane Kaku Mounie

    1 ft 0 itb

    Mounie to
    A Hemed
    B Calwert
    C Bony
    D Abraham
    E Niasse

  12. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Stephens & Mounie ➡ Davies & Joselu for free is a proper 101 in how to waste transfers.

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

      This was 2 weeks ago.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        lol

  13. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Foster Elliot
    Kola Jones Davies Mee Lowe
    Alli Salah Mkhi Gross Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Quaner

    2FT, 1m ITB.

    Orginal plan was Gross to Ritchie and Mee/Lowe to Cedric but not a fan of that.

    Quaner to Niasse? And save other transfer.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably going to WC after next GW.

  14. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino and Mkhi to Vardy and Silva for free? Need to beat the price rise and fall to be able to do this move.

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I would be hesitant to ditch Mkhi at home to palace.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah that's the only thing....hmm

  15. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    After United play Palace, is anyone planning on ditching some UTD attacking assets for the likes of City and Chelsea?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, Lukaku or Mkhi probably going for me.

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I might WC and bring in Morata and Silva for the two.

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Form over fixtures.
      If they thump Palace 5-0 I bet you nobody will remove their assets

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'd say City have the attacking form over them, after watching MOTD I saw that Kun could've easily got himself a hat trick.
        Definitely would keep DDG/Jones if I owned them.

    3. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might do Mkhi to Sane/Silva

    4. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Only if they blank

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Doubt they will.

    5. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sold Lukaku this week, swapping Mikhi to Silva after next and keeping Jones.

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nearly did Mkhi to Silva last week but his haul and tasty upcoming fixture put me off.

    6. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, Gw8 Lukaku Firmino > Jesus Morata is on the cards

  16. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    With Shelvey taking a lot of the set pieces off ritchie, is atsu now a better wildcard option than the Scot??

  17. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    84 all out.

    1. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      HUGE !!!well done dude

    2. AllanM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Strong week. It's good when it comes together.

  18. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    W/C this side for GW8?

    Foster, Elliot
    Otamendi, Daniels, Simpson, Cedric, Mariappa
    Alli, Mkhi, Salah, Richarlison, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Rodriguez

    Would end up something like:

    4.5, Elliot
    Davies, Azi, Simpson, 4.5, Mbemba
    Alli, Salah, Ritchie, Richarlison, Carroll
    Kane, Morata, Vardy

    Would then just need to decide on a punt for GW7

  19. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Most nailed everton striker?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rooneroo

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Froma a guy that did Chic to Roo for a hit this week to take full advantage of Evertons fixture swing, STAY AWAY!!!

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I did something equally stupid. Ake to Baines for a hit

  20. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    As much as I like this game, I suck at it

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Most do.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Here here.

  21. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I have two injured donkeys in the name of Rooney and Mendy. Good chance of playing next gameweek?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney is Shrek

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Made me giggle how desperate I am for the answer, and how useful your answer actually was 🙂

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Lol. Both play in Europe so in theory you have two press conferences this week to find out.

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

      Mendy still to be assessed but it was an impact injury to his knee do hopefully won't keep him out long. Rooney is garbage and needs to go even if fit.

  22. BoooomXhakaLaka
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What do people think on Aguero v Kane v Lukaku?
    My front 3 is Kane, Aguero; Morata. I feel morata is good value but I don't know who to have out of Kane,Aguero,Lukaku. Who and why? Appreciate all replys.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You're front three is great. Stick with it.

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane Jesus Morata is my aim for GW8

    3. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think most would agree after the United Palace game, Aguero Kane Morata is the ideal front line

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      This is the ideal 3 imo. Stick with what you have. Kaku is yesterday's news

  23. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gomes
    Davies Lowe Cedric
    Carroll Ramsey Salah Mkhi
    Lukaku Jesus Kane

    G2G for next week? Going to wildcard during ib

  24. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Wish Mee would drop to 4.4
    Would make my life so much easier 😉

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Same

  25. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Choupo-Moting is a donkey bandwagon that I jumped on.

    Need a better player for 5.6.

    Anybody spring to mind?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep this week

    2. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      season ticker says second best attacking fixtures for quit some time and if they play like the did against man u i would stick 🙂

    3. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      check his stats from this week before you ditch

  26. sambyy
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Current team is

    Elliot Foster
    Kolasinac Davies Otamendi Naughton Long
    Eriksen Salah Ramsey Ritchie Carroll
    Kane Lukaku JRod

    I was planning on wildcarding for gw8 but a lot of the players I want are rising now. Is it worth it to wc a week earlier than planned just because of prices? My current team would probably be better for gw7 than my wc team.

  27. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who is taking a punt on Niasse here?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No one

      1. AA33
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Hi mate!

          Did you check out the latest Community Watch Tournament article? And you must have received an email regarding this 🙂

      2. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Niassejerk

    2. bitars
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Foster. Elliot

      Jones, Cedric, Maguire, Otamendi, Davies

      Ali, Eriksen, Mahrez, Carrol, Willian

      Lukaku, Firmino, Abraham

      1 ft and 0.7 itb

      A. Firmino out Vardy in
      or take a hit for
      B.Firmino and Willian out for Morata and a midfielder less then 5,2 like Atzu/Davies/Can/Fellaini so i got 1 mil over to swoop Mahrez for Mane next round?

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gonna sound bit nuts but Kane to Kaku for captaincy this week? Or just captain Kane and save? Fear a massive rank drop not having Kaku (c) though?

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

        Counts on who you want from gw9

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

        Kane likely to outscore Kaku imo

      3. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Captain Kane

      4. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm going for Harry.

      5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Probably (K)ane in your position, transfers better used elsewhere. 2FT for the international break is a fairly luxury position to be in.

      6. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Harry

      7. Rock n Grohl
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers guys, Morata and Kun are my other forwards and really don't want to break that setup.

    4. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Best mid under 6.0m? Still Ritchie?

      1. liiusions
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Correct

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

        Indeed

      3. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        atm yes

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

          CM from gw 9

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

        no. Shaqiri easily for the upcoming fixtures

        1. Hot Fuzz
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          this ....also moting imo for the fixtures

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Definitely an option

        3. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          That's an interesting option, definitely tempting!

      5. Fantasy Gold
