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.

  4. 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

      A

      The Rashford punt has merit but he's been rotating with Martial. Could be a 1 pointer.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford a good punt. Hadn't considered this myself. Now I am thinking

    5. Funkdoc

  6. SuperMane Returns

    Anyone know how many exact players played last year as of last GW..was it around 4.5m ? Im just trying to work out what % i was in.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 1 month ago

      4.5m

  7. Sverdet

    Are Sane or Sterling nailed?

    1. Ode
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wish they were

    2. jimmy.floyd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sane about 10%
      Sterling about 75%

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *exact percentages are meant only as a guideline and were plucked out of thin air

    4. JONALDINHO
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no will be rotated around every 2 games

  8. Dunlox

          No worries, it's on the home page.

  9. Scotty B
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the front 3 must have this week then?

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you could handpick them? Kaku(c) Kane and erm... Laca?

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

      The big hitters the Scout Picks don't have.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No such thing as must have but I would be worries if I didn't have one of Kane and Kaku

  10. mcgrejam
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Done my WC to to this

    Elliott
    Jones,Cedric,Otamendi,Alonso
    Ritchie,Salah,Eriksen
    Aguero,Morata,Lukaku

    No starting subs

    Would you keep this team or try get Silva and Kane?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

    2. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No starting subs is a bad idea on WC and I would definitely have Kane in there.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't notice no starting subs.
        Need one, preferably two, ideally three

  11. The Tinkerman
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Start one this week:
    A) Mee (eve)
    B) Naughton (whu)

    1. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Concrete
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  12. arkom
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Otamendi & Davies
    or
    B) Kolasinac & Cedric

    1. jimmy.floyd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely A

    3. arndff_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  13. I Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are Sane and Sterling viable options if Silva is out of reach? Rotation risks I know but high PPM, good form and fixtures.

    My front three is Kane, Morata and Vardy so difficult to get Aguero or Jesus.

    1. Concrete
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Risky with the options Pep has there

      Still think Jesus is the better option

      1. I Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Might try to fit Jesus in but not easy to find 2m to upgrade Vardy.

    2. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling is starting more, maybe.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling possibly. Pep really likes him.

  14. Concrete
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Got a feeling Pep will play with one up front v Chelsea and it'll be Jesus

    1. Ode
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely

      1. Concrete
        9 years, 1 month ago

        352 then?

      Are your feelings ever right?

      1. Concrete

        Yes

            His wife was cheating on him

          2. Concrete
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Over the years being on here, there have been many times around the club I watch home and away...live. Granted, there have been times my thinking has been incorrect, but overall, it's hasn't been wide of the mark

            1. Differentiator
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Hornets?

              1. Concrete
                9 years, 1 month ago

                That's the Manchester worker bee

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

              Midweek 90 for Aguero or an injury are probably the only things that would help your choice.

              1. Concrete
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Good points... Aguero 90 on Saturday and a home match on Tuesday where both him and Jesus will start.

                Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see Pep going to Stamford Bridge playing two up front

    3. HALFSPACE

      3142 imo

    4. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

    5. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think Jesus gets the Shaktar gig.

  15. ShaunGoater123

    Mahrez & mooy to

    A) coutinho & Davies (Everton)

    B) mane & rlc

  16. ignis88
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What are the thoughts on Alonso now then? Downgrade to 4/4.5 and reinvest in midfield, getting a Salah/Silva/Coutinho? Or do the easy switch to Azpi?

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

      Due a goal.

    2. GE
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Easy switch to Azpi IMO

  17. GE
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Good idea to use my 2FT as punts and WC in the international break or use them for more long-term players and keep WC longer?

    My team:

    (2FT, 0.2 itb)

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

  18. HALFSPACE
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mulling over whether to cross the road and become a member, worth it?

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Doos is great, he does all the work for you, just ask him nicely 😆

    2. TorresMagic™

      Would get you inside 1M quicker.

    3. Differentiator
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's really not a lot of money a year. The cost of a pizza.

      People take you more seriously 😎

    4. adidasOriginals
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you are in cash leagues

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

      Surely worth it just for the comparison.
      And there is lot more. It only like pizza as they say.

  19. jamma26
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Currently have:

    Fabianski
    Bavies - Naughton - Jones - Cedric
    Miki - Salah - Atsu
    Kane - Kaku - Aguero

    Aguero & Atsu >> Vardy & Silva?

    (Planning Kaku > Morata in GW 8 and upgrading Cedric)

  20. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    9 years, 1 month ago

    what to do with jesus and aguero............... cant depend on either for guaranteed starts
    should i sell one or both?

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

      See how midweek goes.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      When did you bring Jesus and aguero in?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        9 years, 1 month ago

        had jesus a while, bought aguero in last week...............feel like its a mistake now

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          11 pts is a funny definition of a mistake
          Keep one, sell one

  21. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Alonso, Mee, Kolasonic, Dunk, TAA
    Antonio, Miki, Ali. Brady, RLC
    Morata, Firmino, Aguero

    0 itb 1 FT

    Any suggestions, obviously Antonio may need to go.

    1. Downgrade Antonio > 5-6m, upgrade TAA > Davies/Maguire (-4)
    2. Downgrade Alonso > Davies/Maguire, upgrade Antonio > Coutinho (-4)
    3. Something else

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

    Thoughts on Pedro as an option from gw8?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like it.. rather have him then Miki if he plays regurlarly.. monitor the city game as Chelsea will most likely bring out their ideal starting 11

  23. Pranav Santhosh
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watch the Newcastle game and think mbemba is a chance of getting dropped for next game

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

      Comments here say he's slow so not great vs Salah.

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Have any better 4.0 options emerged?

  24. HD7
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Calling all owners of Kane Morata and Kaku/Kun trio, please motivate me to get a Trinity!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane, Lukaku and Morata because they are all nailed.

        Just counted back as I am bored
        16 times in 9hrs

        1. Goonermeister
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd like to know this answer too. Niasse seems punty but could work

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Okazaki would be my pick

    2. Iceball

      All rather bad, try upgrade to Vardy next week by downgrade Bailly or Ramsey?

  26. BenjaminEJones

    Is Firmino finally going to drop price?...

    1. Netley Lucas

      Yes, of course.

      He should tonight. 36K sellers since midnight.

  27. Goonermeister
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mkhi + Joselu to Vardy + Atsu for a free?

  28. Differentiator

    88 all out 😮

    Looks good until you realise I got less than 40 points last week with exactly the same team

    Mkhitaryan currently 60% to a fall with to red arrows down, do you think he will fall before the weekend?

    1. Sverdet
      9 years, 1 month ago

      two*

    2. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, not with cpl next

      1. Sverdet
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, currently thinking about doing mkhit -> Silva tonight before his rise, but that means loosing him at home to CPL. Dont want to loose .1, but again if mkhit does well he could rise again and give me back that money

        1. Netley Lucas
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Mkhi's not dropping, play him v palace.

          1. Sverdet
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Think I will go for that

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

          Pick the one you think will score more next GW. Might cost 0.1 to get Silva later plus he plays midweek.

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

      You what? He's on +60%, nowhere near a fall...

      1. Sverdet
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, my bad thought it said -60% since it was a red arrow next to the name.

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

          No, just means he's being sold at a medium pace. There is no danger of him dropping this week and even if he does it makes no difference to your sell value if you got him at 8.0m

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

      What price did you buy at or are you planning to?

      1. Sverdet
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I had Mkhit from the beginning, which means if he rises to 8.6, I can sell for 8.3 instead of 8.2 which I can sell him for now

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

          In that case it doesn't matter if he drops because either way you will get 8.2m if you sell.

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

          You are worried by him falling. 1st fall won't change the 8.2
