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

    Why can't this be a boring 0-0? Slow down, everybody.

    Next game week: Chalobah, Carroll or Fernandez?

    Watford have West Brom away and Swansea have West Ham away. Thanks!

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      In that order but didn't Chalobah get benched?

    Exciting game so far. If this is the standard of the Championship I might start following it.

    Brighton looks good so far

  6. tm245

    Elliot not filling owners with confidence.

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

      Newcastle defence maybe. Elliot is playing well.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, the defenders aren't doing him any favors.

  7. Digital-Real

  9. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Shite defence, average mid don't care, should get plenty of points with this strikeforce , what you think ?

    Foster

    Lascelles. Cedric. Jones

    Alli. Sarah. Choupo. Richarlison

    Aguero. Morata Kane

    Suns Elliot mbemba t Carroll Lowe

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A lot of firepower. Should get plenty of points like you say.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years

          I'm guessing she plays for Liverpool Ladies 😉

  10. Jsadler95

    Got Elliot and Mbemba this week so dying for this clean sheet to finish my decent enough game week off. 71 points with them 2 and Hegazi left to play (as couple of my players were missing so he's now had to come in)

  11. MidTableFantasy
    • 10 Years

    Brighton now looking like Man City

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Elliot will earn loads of save points today

    Us on here would be regarded as serious fpl players yes??

    How many of us are struggling so far this season??

    I'm at 2.2m and only had one good wk of 70pts.

      Your team ID is a lie then ?

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      We should be the amount of time we spend at it. I'm 1.4 mil having a rough season

    3. Red Dagger ✪

      😆

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A haul's worth of save points & a goal from Gross would do me very nicely...

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ritchie and Gross to both score and assist with few save points from Elliot will do me nicely!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Looking fairly likely at the moment, to be fair. Can't have our cake and eat it too, though 😀

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Haha same here. Groß with 3 and Elliot with a couple of pen saves would do nicely.

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Mbemba is a bad LB

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Was that a Mbemba SoT?

    Not watching....

    Having not owned Chelsea or City yet this year, next week has my most reasonable looking line up fixturewise of this season. Probably the week the Barclays chooses all the upsets to happen

    What happened to Knockakert?

    1. Differentiator

      1. OPTA FPL

        He was the player of the season last year

    Knockaert shot goes out for a throwin, lol

  22. TorresMagic™

    3 - Elliot (7)
    2 - Ryan (6)
    1 - Stephens, March, Groß, Ritchie (5)

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Really ?

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

      Filling me with empty hope so early on :/

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

      Looks like they've only counted one of his saves

  23. Nicoson
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Kane and Groß/Brady
    Or
    B) Vardy and Mkhi

    Currently on B but Kane would be massive differential in ML.
    Thoughts?
