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

    The FPL Draft game is truly rubbish.

    Not being able to trade between teams is poor.

    Also, when viewing players available under the transactions tab, it is really annoying not being able to see the players' next fixture.

    Hopefully these are things that they fix for next season

    Will Vardy still be on pens?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think it'll be Mahrez.

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think so yes. So long as he promises no more blast and hopes

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He reminds me of people who get too nervous when they get to the black ball in pool, and then just smack it in more of a hit and hope.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Mind you, the goal is a much bigger target than a pool table pocket, so it works for him more often than not!

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might not be but Mahrez doesn't have a good record either. Think Vardy is still a good pick without pens anyway.

  5. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Very very early WC first draft.

    Dismantle it.

    Elliot,(Ryan)

    Cedric, Otamendi, Daniels(Mee, Martina)

    Coutinho,Silva, GroS,(Eric Maxim, T.C)

    Kane, lukaku, Morata.

    Stone broke then.

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about Martina??

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

        I know but starting to get minutes. If they can get it together they have the fixtures. What u think of rest??

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I got Martina in my WC last week - I think as far as he's the only rotation risk in your squad it's fine.

      I don't like Gross that much but with nothing in the bank I don't see what the alternatives are.

  6. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Getting Calvert-Lewin vs Niasse right could be a serious bargain for the next few weeks. Leaning Calvert-Lewin.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years

      Uncertainty of starting berths both of them

    if you should downgrade one player from these, who would it be? Mikhi, Silva, Salah or Vardy?

    Mkhitaryan - David Silva - Eriksen - Salah
    Vardy - Lukaku - Morata

    I'm trying to figure out my wild card team.. TY!

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      That's a great front 7, can you get it??

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

        No, I must downgrade one of these.. 🙂

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mkhi has been playing much worse than the others
      Truly amazing he has got pts last few weeks

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mkhi to Ritchie IMO

  9. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      Tripp

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

    Firmino being dropped my many managers. Is it bad form or does his points potential increase when Mane and Coutinho are in the team?

    Would be interesting to see an analysis of PPG for him when both Mane and Couts are playing.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Definetly dropped off since Mane been suspended but isit because of Mane or just poor form im not sure. Think I'm getting rid, not to bothered about the price drop gonna wait til the weekend just incase of injuries don't wanna take a hit

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

        He's not been getting into goal scoring positions recently, with Couts dropping deep and Mane returning, he should get into the box more. Though, i am concerned over his form.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I have Salah and Vardy has a great fixture + when he starts scoring he usually doesn't stop for a while, for now Vardy looks the better better pick. Definitely for the next 3, plan to reassess after that

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I have Vardy so got rid, plus*

            1. We Will Klopp you
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              *Salah, my word...

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm worried that with mane, cout, firmino, salah and sturridge there may start to become a rotation risk

  11. ★Kuntheman★

    Huddersfield's upcoming run 😮

    1. TorresMagic™

      CS ftw.

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years

      They will get relegated this season.

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

        I thought we were over this nonsense.

        Said this during thwe summer, Hudds will get a top 8 finish

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

          Top 8 for a team that has scored 2 goals in their last 5 matches and with the fixtures they've had. And then you say I'm talking nonsense.

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

            Don't listen to this guy, Fed.

            Elite troll.

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

        Good start but they are due a battering.

        Kane will sort them out

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

          So easy to go on a Everton like run once the losses start. They look like this seasons Boro at the moment and we know how that ended.

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A mini-league rival persists with triple Huddersfield defence. He's very annoying. Hopefully his luck will change soon!

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

        Similar here. Lossl and Schindler. The baps are insane.

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

          Not my team, but teams in my ML. Add Lowe to that list too.

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah. He has Lloris and Davies, and Lossl, Schindler and Zanka. He keeps benching the Tottenham guys and playing the Huddersfield guys in front of them.

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

          That is crazy but I wouldn't worry about people like that.

          Luck will soon run out

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

            Hopefully.

    Pickford

    Kola / naughton / mee

        Something worries me about Jones.

        Plus, Palace have to score eventually

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years

          That's what I kept thinking when I had Benteke for the first 5 gameweeks 😀

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            And youve sold him? Seems kind of futile to hang on for so long, only to sell before his imminent hattrick.

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years

              Haha, got rid on wildcard just this week.

    3. rupopo

      I wouldn't do that.

  15. ZeBestee

    after doing well since gw1, this is my team for next gw:

    Foster (Elliot)
    Jones Naughton Davies (Rangel Long)
    Salah Mkhy Eriksen Silva (TC)
    Kaku Kane Hemed

    .3 itb

    Should i save?

    Start Hemed or TC?

    1. ZeBestee

      ??

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years

      or do Hemed > Niasse?

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Save, wait and see if Hemed gets a retrospective ban. But never play Carroll, don't see how it's a viable strategy.

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

        ban for what?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years

          Stamp on Yedlin.

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

        start

        1) Hemed or
        2) TC or
        3) Do Hemed > Niasse

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Hemed as things stand.

      At the moment it's on Kane with Lukaku (V).

    3. HALFSPACE

      Kane

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years

        Kane for me. That's because I don't have Lukaku in my team.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lukaku

      Looks good. Hegazi only doubt so would play Cedric

      Seeing Carroll as a starter makes my heart sink. But it's a good team otherwise!

    Going to whisper this very quietly because it would take massive balls for me to captain this one...but Kun has quite the scoring record vs Chelsea

      Hmm, fancy him to get the one, anything more would be great but can't look past Arry for this gw

    87 points, finally a decent gameweek in FPL.

    Nearly went mental in Bluewater when Richarlison scored.

      Bluewater? Is that a euphemism?

    I'm thinking to bank an FT and WC

    DDG (Elliot)

    Foster (Elliot)
    Alonso/Davies/Jones/Daniels (Mbemba)
    Eriksen/Alli/Ritchie (T. Carroll, RLC)

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

        Want Kane, Aguero, Morata, Silva and Coutinho.

        Maybe use the 2FT for punts next GW and then WC in the international break?

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Jesus -> Aguero
      Firmino -> ?

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

        Before Chelsea?

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
