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.

    Lads,
    Do you think that Ramsey+Lukaku duo score more next week compared to Silva+Jesus?
    Tinkering whether to take a hit prior to Wildcarding before Int.break or should I just make Jesus → Lacazette as a one week punt.

      Sanchez (c)
      I don't mind if he assists Laca as long as he scores a couple himself... 😉

              Alright G? Or is that H now...? 😉
              Broke my rule and got Joselu out earlier for Okazaki. Couldn't stand seeing him in my team anymore.
              Still got a free transfer to add to next week.
              It was either that or Firm > Vardy and I want to keep Firm for the time being.

                Everyone wants rid of Firmino! I know his price is due to fall but can no one see it's Newcastle next with Mané back? Can't work this place out sometimes lol

                Oh wait, the penny's dropped! Mass hysteria because someone scored a hat trick this week so let's all get rid of Bobby so we can get Morata in...

    Looks like some people are wildcarding in GW8 just for the sake of it, not because their teams need it.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      My team does.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Yep seems ppl set their mind up to wc in a certain week

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just feels better to do it over an international break, catch a few rises in the first week, react to injuries and more time to think (hopefully not overthink!) things through

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I would have agreed other seasons. Price rises slow this season though and if one stll got the wc at this point, one should adapt.

        2. Hot Fuzz
          9 years, 1 month ago

          mostly its overthinking.....how may teams people gonna make up untill cut off time? perhaps 1459 .....teams that is ;-0

    3. diesel001
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am still undecided. I like my team for GW7, but have no City and Firmino, Mkhi, Alli, Atsu and Foster may need to go after GW7. Wpu;d quite like Aguero, Morata and Salah in there.

    4. Flaming Flamingo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Herd mentality

  8. Pirlø's Pen
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender for under 4.4m?

    Mbemba?
    Wimmer?
    Yedlin?
    Dunk?

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

      Mbemba for me.

    2. suddenorgan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mee if he ever finally drops

      1. Hot Fuzz
        9 years, 1 month ago

        so he is not 4.4 .... doesn't count... 😉

    3. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mbemba.

  9. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    It bugs me having to look at Jonny Walters in my team for one more week.

  10. CrouchDown
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino > Vardy or Kun > lukaku? Wildcarding GW8

  11. Please Help I Don't Kn…

    Best moment for your team this season so far?
    Mine was captaining Morata 🙂
    Yours?

    1. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer Pogba and Mané out to D.Silva and Mkhitaryan GW5.

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fair play. Can't even think of one, had a shite season.

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well still 32 gws to go

    3. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Morata's hat-trick this week. Didn't captain him but just owning was enough to salvage my poor start to the season. Jumped 1m in OR from 2.1m.

    4. Galza
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captaining Kane v Everton....
      My team points that week were...
      2
      1 1 1
      2 1 1 2
      2 26 2
      Saved my bacon...

    5. Celt Abroad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Week one - all planning over summer paid off, and gw 1 rank of 111,000. It quickly fell apart after that.

    6. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasina(c) GW4 and in that same week brought Ben Davies back into the team and he kicked off with a nice 14.

      That's it...

  12. james 101
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people recommending RLC over other options playing for better teams, with better for, and better fixtures?

    1. james 101
      9 years, 1 month ago

      "For" = "form"

    2. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Better £4.5 options ?

      A Loftus-Cheek goal is imminent.

      1. james 101
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Surman already actually scored though.
        And Stephens actually assisted.

        So the argument is underlying stats?

        1. tafrère
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Loftus-Cheek has more offensive responsabilities than those players and racks up bonus points more than any other cheap offensive midfield. I agree that it's difficult to trust Palace to score but I still rate him more than Surman or Stephens.

          1. james 101
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Ok. Don't agree with any of that.

            I guess there's a reason these guys are £4.5...

            1. james 101
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Is RLC nailed?

              1. G-Whizz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yes.
                He's CPL's best player right now.

  13. Digital-Real
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Discussion at the moment is around fitting in three premium strikers to our teams, in a few weeks that will change to "is going with 3 Liverpool attackers an option?"
    FPL is going to be tough this season!

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That is a good thing, it can be so boring at times.

      1. Hot Fuzz
        9 years, 1 month ago

        boring? most exiting game what i picked up in quit some time so much data etc never ending loving every minute of it and feeds my ocd just nicely hahahhahah

        ps my misses doesn't think that 🙂 more like that i got an affair.. silly women love her more then any thing else in the world
        perhaps the order would be 1.Misses 2.kids 3.Fpl .....

      1. Digital-Real
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Which table do I need to look at Doos?

      2. Digital-Real
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've looked at this gameweek's stats 😉

  14. LǝgleSs e|even
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Football Leaks affirms that Neymar earns just over €3m a month in Ligue 1, a figure that works out as a total annual salary of €36.8m.
    Only Tevez, currently in the Chinese Super League with Shanghai Shenhua, takes home a greater wage, with reports suggesting the Argentine will pick up €38.4m from his first year in Asia.
    To put the number claimed by the controversial outlet in perspective, Neymar earns €100,000 a day, €4,000 an hour or a staggering €66 a minute.

    Anyone's ambition to be footballers here?

    1. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      its just sill love the dude but that is just not ok........
      for example yaya from man city 220.000 pound a week for sitting on the bench most of the year makes me just angry
      and yes wouldn't we all love to play for a year and get naymar's wage ??? just for a week will be cool ehhey

  15. Hardly Athletic
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus > Lukaku
    Britos > Defender up to 4.2 Mariappa?

    Worth a 4 point hit? Already got Aguero and Silva.

    1. Hardly Athletic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Already got Mbemba as well

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stick and do Jesus to Morata next week

    3. diesel001
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes IMO. Might want to hold out though and hope Martina drops in price.

  16. tafrère
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hey you other Mbemba owners : with Liverpool next, Mbemba will probably be benched, Jesus Gamez to start over him imo. I don't think Rafa Benitez is crazy enough to play the too-slow-for-a-leftback Mbemba against Salah. Am I right ?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fifa says Mbemba is faster than Jesus Gamez

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds reasonable theory.

  17. Gunner77-
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier will play vs HUD right?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yup

  18. suddenorgan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    boring I know, but any update on Chalobah?

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hey all. I have 2FT and wondered what my next moves should be? 0 ITB.

    Elliot / Foster
    Alonso / Davies / Mee / Wimmer* / Rosenior
    Eriksen / Salah / Mkhi / Gross / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / Abraham

    It is likely I will only make moves post-European matches, but here are my notes for now:
    - Don't really want Mkhi much longer. Will keep for Palace though.
    - Wimmer is a worry but I'll likely wait for news.
    - Open to a keeper switch if nothing else pressing (although it might only be Foster > Hart until I play mt WC; Foster has a decent fixture next)
    - I'd like to move Gross to Choupo-Moting, but 0.1 out atm
    - I am also 0.1 out of Mkhi > Silva. Could have made that move earlier, but was too early in the week (really regret that)

    Thoughts?

    1. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see any pressing issues for this week but I guess you have to do something because you have 2 frees. Wimmer out would be my suggestion but not sure who else there is at 4.4m.

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

        Cheers. I -may- end up doing Wimmer > Martina & Gross > Choupo-Moting... but that's only because Martina is the only 4.3 around.

        Regardless, I'd have a clearer idea after Everton's EL game, so it's probably a waiting game for me.

  20. ignis88
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How essential are City assets now? A) David Silva
    B) Sane
    C) Sterling
    D) Neither for a hit

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

      Think David Silva is the one to get

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Silva will get the mins over the other two.

      But it is nice to see Sane back in the groove again.

    3. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Silva is the one but I'll be priced out after he rises so might end up punting on Sane or Sterling. I think they're viable picks even though they won't start every game. Their chances of getting points when they are on the pitch are high.

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

      I like Sane but Silva is the safe choice. Sane's ownership is tiny though so he might be a huge bandwagon if he gets regular starts. Definitely more explosive. If you asked this question last season nobody would have picked Silva.

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hard to see WC worth doing this week or possibly even as planned next week! What is best use of transfer? .3 in bank

    A Aguero to Lukaku
    B Firmino to Vardy
    C Hegazi to Maguire (.1 short of Jones)
    D Anything better?

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Bertrand Davies Hegazi Long
    Eriksen Mkhitaryian Brady Atsu Carroll
    Aguero Kane Firmino

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

      Save FT.

  22. martyhan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    G2G? Or any changes need. Would be a -4. Already used ft and 0itb

    DDG
    Jones Dawson Davies
    Salah Richie Brady Ramsey
    Morata lukaku Kane

    Elliott Carroll mee long

    1. Celt Abroad

      Nice team.

      No changes needed

  23. LewanGOALski
    9 years, 1 month ago

    team for GW7 is:

    DDG
    Bertrand - Otamendi - BDavies
    Eriksen - Ramsey - Ritchie - Moting
    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    bank: 0.2
    1 FT

    as I am planning a WC for GW8, should I:

    A) Firmino ➡ Vardy (bou) - whom I want in my GW8 WC team
    or
    B) Firmino ➡ Rashford (CRY) - who is a nice punt for GW7 fixture
    or
    C) some other suggestions..?

    thx

  24. EL_FENOMENO
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Don't see any other two premium mids worth having, except for Salah and Eriksen. Correct ?

    1. The SK
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both look like season keepers to me.

    2. Celt Abroad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like Alli and Sanchez also.

    3. mbrewer94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Salah is the standout, followed by Eriksen and Silva.

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

      Mkhi

  25. The SK
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan Elliot
    Davies Jones Mee Naughton Long
    Salah Eriksen Ritchie Groß Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    2FT 1.1ITB

    Sell Firmino tonight before his drop?
    A) Yes
    B) Wait until after UCL

    Any suggestions on what to do with 2FT?

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

      Wait and actually I think Firmino will do well v Newcastle with Mane back

      1. Hot Fuzz
        9 years, 1 month ago

        this....

  26. Gunner77-

    Would you rather have Trippier or Mustafi/Monreal next GW?

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

      Trippier

  27. The Overthinker
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brought in naughton for this coz I didn't had any other transfers to do (removed suttner SMH) .
    Will be bringing in Daniels for naughton for coming gw coz I don't have anyelse to do . (You know what's gonna happen)

    1. The Overthinker

      *brought in naughton for this gw

  28. Stupendous

    Can't a few hits sort things out?

            Btw, I don't think you need to use your wildcard with that team.

            Looks good

              I agree with this. Mkhitaryan to Sterling, and get some defenders. Bailly this week.

      This. WC might be good just before the busy December too.

      I am still undecided. I have got off to a great start OR wise so can be a bit patient. I like my team for next week, but have no City and Firmino, Mkhi, Alli, Atsu and Foster may need to go after GW7. Would quite like Aguero, Morata and Salah in there.

      Not rushing towards WC . Pretty good start for me, happy with my starting 11. I have to think about where to use one of my 2 FT every week 😀

      Are hits worth it? Prices arent really changing so hits seem poor value.
