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

      Again? Check back
      I answered

  11. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do you reckon Morata will rise 0.2 be4 deadline?

    Currently own firm.. dropping 0.1. If Morata is going up more than 0.1 I feel forced to do Miki + firm --> 6.8 mid + Morata (-4) in order not to loose 0.3 tv. even though the former pair will most likely outscore the latter pair in terms of points next gw

    I am clueless to why people are in rush to transfer out firm and transfer in Morata when looking at next weeks fixtures.. I simply cant make sense of it and it is really bothering me.

    1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's normal for casuals to do so. People took out Kane (whm, hud) with a -4 to bring in Kun (CPL, che).

    2. Garlana
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh, both the morata and Silva transfers are anoyying me, it's not the week to get them in (I hope) but I'm thinking I might end up being priced out if I don't react soon.

        stoke have already played chelsea so thats one bad one out of the way. their fixtures much easier than brighton's

    2. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stoke also a more attacking team with more quality, although they are very inconsistent and Jekyll-and-Hyde type between home and away sometimes.

      Choupo-Moting my pick due to attacking stats.

    3. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gross is pretty switched on he created more chances then any other player in the Bundesliga despite playing for a relegation club he is very smart player with a great touch and talent .after he finish his contract with the seagulls some top 6 club gonna try to snatch him up that why gross imo

    Play Alonso Vs man city,

    yay or nay?

    1. Sims
      9 years, 1 month ago

      u never bench alonso just ask those that did vs spurs

      1. Garlana
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This is what I thought, though coming off for 0 and city scoring for fun is a concern.

        1. fedolefan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That zero is reflective of just a bad temper on the day. He could have easily got 5 points if he kept his cool for another 3 minutes.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

    3. BROOKLYN GOONER
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am playing, over Cedric.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Never bench Alonso

    5. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Play.

  16. Pierce34

    Wow, tiny green arrow with only Elliot's 2 points today. If I'm lucky tomorrow I can hit the giddy heights of the top half of the 2nd million!

      B with Salah

      Good lad! 🙂

    4. MTPockets

      Get out the league! 😉

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

    Why all the Salah love? With Coutinho and Mane available again and Liverpool's hectic schedule, rotation is near certain. He's also going to struggle for bonus even if he scores. Against both Watford and Arsenal he got a goal and an assist and didn't get booked but only got 1 bonus point from those 2 matches combined. I'm selling him this week for a City midfielder.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Salah and Mané are vital for Liverpool's playing style. Their pace is essential.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Salah is amazing, mad to sell him, keeping for sure

    3. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's fantasy gold in that he's selfish and shoots a lot. Of course, he misses a lot which hurts his bonus as you say, but some of them are bound to go in - and they have so far!

    4. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is a points machine, and in form.

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

        One of my few good gw1 decisions that wasn't overthought out the window before the deadline. Keep for sure!

    5. fedolefan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why the love? Because he's been returning points so far and has been missing easy opportunities too that suggest he'll keep getting chances. However, on a WC, I may get Coutinho if he's cheaper. Just think Coutinho has both goals and assists too.

    6. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably because he keeps scoring goals

    7. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He misses a lot but he's bound to score a few braces even a hattrick or 2 this season. Season keeper for me

    8. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      “Why all the Salah love?” Is that seriously a question?

  20. Gudjohnsen
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Two 4.0 goalkeepers a viable option?

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

      Too risky for me, plus it means you can't rotate but yes with Elliott nailed

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't expect many 5+

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

      A waste of 0.1m. Get Pereira instead. Why pay more for a non-playing GK who isn't even the reserve for your playing GK?

      1. Clintymints
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pereira will only let you have 2 outfield united players

        Also, I've considered doing this tbh

    4. jimmy.floyd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

    Reminded myself of Aguero's track record vs the big teams... captaining him vs Chelsea at the bridge over Kane

    A) Silly, play the fixtures
    B) Could work out very well

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could be genius. They got athletico on Wednesday?

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

        Yep, City have Shahktar so could rest players

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

          so they're fresh for Chelsea

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmmm

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A but B

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

        Cheers both, I'll probably chicken out back to Kane before the deadline, he surely has to score vs Hudds

  22. Netley Lucas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Doos, why the heck have I got ruddy Ritchie? Give me a table that says he's not as bad as I fear... 😆

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

      I've got him too amigo and he's quality in that price range

      1. Netley Lucas
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He wasn't quality today mate, or @hud when they did the same trick

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I can't.

      It is because you are a plonker, and disregarded my earlier advice! 😉

      😆 He has never been reliable, I am afraid. I'm sorry. 🙂

      1. Netley Lucas
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's rubbish isn't he? Good Championship player but this is too far for him, sigh... best 5.9?

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

          He got 11 points last week!

          1. I Member
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Lmao exactly. 4 assists in 3 games before today. One blank and he's awful.

          2. Freddo
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Average players will get hauls from time to time, consistency is what we're searching for.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Not sure - get back to me after the MNF.

      2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Having said that, he has taken out a mortgage in this table:

        http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/13487/

        but has failed the sufficient quality test, and his house is now suffering from dry rot!

        1. Netley Lucas
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, give him a few more weeks then.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Ritchie
      If Joselu could shoot, Ritchie would have 7 assists already

  23. THFC4LIFE

    OR updated.... 4 points took me up 90k to 855k. Outside 1m after Arsenal tmra I think

    So after a two year break from Fantasy Football I returned to find various "chips" have been added to the game. I presume the general tactic is to wait for DGWKs to use the likes of "Triple Captain" and the "Bench Boost". But can someone please explain to me how the "Free Hit" works, like how is it different to the WC?

      1 GW wildcard. Use it this week and get your GW6 team for GW8.

        Ok so it allows you to make changes for a single week and then your squad reverts back to how it was previously?

          From the rules section

          Free Hit : Make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek.

            This.
            And also In case you don't already know, the wildcard is also considered a chip these days. So you can't play your WC and chip in same gw

    2FTs this week. Thinking of taking a hit, maybe:
    Firmino, Richarlison, Alonso > Chicharito, Salah, Jones

    Which is better? Have 2ft
    A) Vardy& mid-fodder
    B) Silva& striker-fodder
    A would be for 1 ft. B for 2 ft.

      a IMO. three forwards is a must

        Not if Silva gets more points than that forward but yeah, think I stick with A

        1. JONALDINHO
          9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster - (Elliot)
    Bellerin - Bavies - Bertrand - (Suttner) - (Long)
    Eriksen - Mkhitaryan - Ritchie - Brady - (Carroll)
    Kane - Lukaku(C) - Vardy

          It's time to bail on united IMo

          Appreciate they have Palace but they've started playing badly

          1. JONALDINHO
            9 years, 1 month ago

            they should steamroll palace so Mkhi and Kaku should score. cant see them scoring 2 or more against top half teams though
