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.

    Id like to make Firmino Ramsey to Morata Atsu in the Int break. However I see that Morata is rising and I will be priced out... do I push the button now?

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

      No. Not with UCL midweek

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I know... but I wont be able after the rise of Morata

    2. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      predictor has been woeful this season, wouldn't trust Morata to rise tonight.

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

        Hasn't been that bad. It was at the start of the season likely due to all the wildcards in play but it's been pretty accurate since. Morata on 101.3% I would say would almost guarantee the rise tonight now the predictions have stabilised a little.

        1. Scout Pics
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Did Morata rise last night?

          1. Bald Eagle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Nope. Tonight probably.

          2. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            No. You can see yourself below:

              Are you "guaranteeing" the rise tonight as well?

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No! And Atsu looked poor today! Murphy and Aarons are close to a start I feel

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        So maybe another alternative to Atsu but Im gettin Morata tonight

  2. Shmoke
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Miki > Silva?

    Have atm with 0.5 itb

    Miki-Salah-Atsu-Gross
    Mora-Kaku-Kane

    1. BenjaminEJones
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Miki vs Palace or Silva vs Chelsea? Wait a week if you can afford...

      1. Shmoke
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheerz.... Sane and Sterling prob not viable options ?

        1. BenjaminEJones
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Wouldn't trust either to be nailed to start. Think you can only trust Pep to start Silva and De Bruyne, but who knows with him!

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      • 14 Years

      For me yes, you have lukaku for Utd attack but no cover for cities good fixture run, and mkhibhas been poor

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        if you can get to next week first even better

  3. Big baller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Wc this lot? 1 ft
    Elliot/Foster
    Bavies -Jones- mee -Britos mbemba
    Eriksen -Salah- Miki- Gross- Carrol
    Aguero-Lukaku-Firmino

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

      No, don't be silly.

    2. Ode
      • 9 Years

      Nope, nothing really wrong here

    3. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
      • 17 Years

      Not worth a WC
      I'd probably save and use the 2ft next GW

    4. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely.

  4. Ode
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Which striker do you think is more of a must have out of Morata & Kane?

    My front three is Vardy Kun Abraham and i'm looking to get rid of Abraham for one of them, by downgrading Alli & Alonso.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kane would have got 10 v that sto defence, Kane.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Really not sure I'd downgrade Alli and Alonso for either of them tbh

      1. Ode
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        You think so? There are so many premium strikers banging goals I don't think Kun is enough. I got Alonso after the Spurs game and he hasn't impressed me so far, and losing Alli wouldn't be the end of the world since I also have Eriksen

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Great idea...upgrade Abraham ASAP

  5. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I know quite a few of the best players haven't made the best of starts but what is a decent enough rank at this point of the season please?

    1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Guessing sub 50k

              #Not this season#

              1. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
                • 17 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                ATM 50 points difference with a 575k+ OR gap
                Which really is nothing .... It's a Marathon and not a sprint - lots of twists and turns but have to admit a dec not start does help.
                I found my earlier GW ranks were below average but "somehow" went up the rankings which baffled me ?

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

      Inside top 250k is good work. Most of the players at the very top of standings have blown their chips getting there so you should start to overtake them

      1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I find this a bit more encouraging ! I'm not too far from that mark so hopefully can learn from my mistakes this year and improve.

    3. J T
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Most people use cards etc and casuals get lucky so it's really hard to tell... give it till week 10 and judge.. also depends on what you view as a good rank.

    4. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Top 1m can still get a good finish.

    5. Goonermeister
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Top 400k

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Only takes 1 great GW to take 75% off your rank.

    7. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Top 1.5m

    8. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm one of the best, and my current OR is 451k.

    9. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks everyone...guess a bit early to be asking. Looking for a bit of reassurance I suppose!

    10. MTPockets
      8 years, 9 months ago

      2.5m

    11. Qubit
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Largely meaningless at this point, especially with so many players now and the chips being played. More important is how many points you have, how far you are behind say top 10k. But again, small changes can mean big rank changes at this point.

    Hey guys what you think?

    Foster
    Jones Cresswell Alonso
    Ritchie Brady Mkhi Eriksen
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    2 FT

    A) Firmino and Alonso —> Morata and Tripper/Mee
    B) Firmino —> Vardy

      Elliot Carroll Naughton 4.0

      Is my bench

    2. Cornholi0
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A) can you afford Bellerin or Kola?

  7. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    No save points for Elliot?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He saved a cross, so no, just 2 saves.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      2 saves

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    Best 1 week midfield punt for next GW... 7.5m to spend! Going to wildcard after that!

    Ramsey? Walcott?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rambo's been playing well, see how he does tomorrow Rafa.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate! Yeah, might punt on him! Will watch closely

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey, Ayew, Arnie

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Was thinking Arnie! Looked good in patches yesterday didn’t he

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah and Swans have been lucky to not concede away yet, they are due to ship a few.

          Arnie looked really good

    3. Ode
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey came first into my mind

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, same! Thanks 🙂

    3. Galza

  10. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Will probably regret snubbing Lukaku, but really can't see past Kane for the captaincy.

    He is on fire and Huddersfield look ready for a mauling

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Have you seen Palace

      1. Goonermeister
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Wish I had both

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have but surely they won't be that bad again.

        Also, City are a different attacking animal to any other PL team imo.

        Another factor is that United are playing away in Russia on Wednesday night

  11. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    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 > Chipo-Mot, upgrade TAA > Davies/Maguire (-4)
    2. Downgrade Alonso > Davies/Maguire, upgrade Antonio > Coutinho (-4)
    3. Something else and what?

    I want Vardy instead of Firmino but because of Antonio I think I need to get rid of him. Help?

    1. Goonermeister
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      1

  12. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Which set of heavy hitters work best together?

    A) Salah Eriksen Silva
    Kane Jesus

    B) Salah Coutinho
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      So Eriksen/Silva or Cout/Vardy? Close, i prefer A

  14. Turns
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    2 FTs. I'm tempted by Firmino -> Vardy and Dawson -> Maguire? Would ideally wait to next week but can't afford the change if Bobby drops in price. Current team is:

    Fabianki
    Jones - Cedric - Dawson - Naughton
    Miki - Alli - Salah
    Kane - Kaku - Firmino

    Views appreciated.

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

      I am deciding exactly this. But I think I will wait. UCL could bring bigger issues midweek if another Pogba incident happens

      1. Turns
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate. Just can really feel it in my water that Bobby will fall tonight and then I'd be buggered as I've got 0 itb. Might have to risk it

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

          You can still do it later. Just skip the Dawson to Maguire move
          Leicester aren't that good at the back

          1. Turns
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            V true. Good plan

  15. Bolasie
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    One gameweek punt:
    A, King
    B, Chica
    C, rashford

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

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

      C looks tempting

    3. Goonermeister
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

  16. Sims

    • 15 Years

    Should I wc this team? Or just take a hit and do Willian/Firmino to Ritchie/Morata?

    Team is

    Elliott Forster
    Jones Kolasinac Davies Daniels 4m
    Willian Richarlison Eriksen Carroll JWP
    Lukaku Aguero Firmino

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      The 2 transfers you've mentioned are worth considering, if you can ride out any potential price rises I would just do the Willian transfer - firmino has a good fixture and Morata doesn't so may give you one last decent effort before moving things

    Need to get rid of Antonio? Surely he will not be fit for next weekend's fixture? Have 0.7 in the bank. Any good replacement available for him without taking the hit?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

      Wait and see. He may well be fit and the fixture is great
      We have no info currently

    Hmm price rises tonight are going to eff up my preferred wildcard team. Should I just go and do it now?

    Help please..

    A) Morata + Yedlin (-4)

    B) Vardy + Yoshida

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

      B

    Intl break thoughts... mkhi and abraham to loftus cheek(bench) and morata then move from 343 to 433?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I like Mkhi, but yes.

    Calvert Lewin worth considering as a 3rd striker option ?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I personally don't think anyone under 8.5 is worth considering.

  24. Fantasy Gold

    One player I will be keeping a close eye on in midweek is Anthony Martial.

    If he doesn't get many minutes and Rashford plays full 90, I might take a punt

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

      Definitely

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Solid shout

  25. Je suis le chat

    Michi's on the brain at Man U. We'll all surely ditch little Michi for Silva in gw 8.

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

      Did it last week. Watched utd twice and thought he looked toilet

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Well done. Should have done likewise. Him and Kaku will be gone for me too soon. Mickie to Silva gw 8, Kaku and somebody to Morata and Azpi gw 9.

  26. BenjaminEJones

    Firmino drop is on my mind & want Kane, but should I wait for UCL?

    A) KDB & Chicharito > Kane & Fellaini
    B) KDB & Firmino > Kane & 6.5 mid

    2FT, other striker Kaku & thinking about WC during IB.

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      at the very least you need to shift KDB, he's not worth the outlay in comparison to silva, Jesus or aguero.

      1. BenjaminEJones
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        100% agree. Have Silva and plan on Kun after Chelsea + having Kane means I can 'downgrade' to Kun if needed.

  27. spikkis
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of changing firmino and carroll to abraham and silva. Is it a good move? Want to cath the prize rises and drops

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Personally, can't see that paying off

  28. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Any advice on this lot lads?

    Foster, Elliott
    Mustafi, Bertrand, Jones, Mee, Long
    Salah, Eriksen, Ritchie, Mooy, Carroll
    Lukaku, Kane, Firmino

    1 FT, 0 ITB.

    Considering Wcing next week during the international break to stock up on City and Chelsea. Sell Firmino to preserve team value?

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      You could just as well sell Mooy for Gros - should give you more points GW7. Think I'll be doing that.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Gross has Arsenal next week doesn’t he? Surely a 2 pointer?

        1. Pompel
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          More thinking that Firmino likely to be in the points again. And Gross is there for long term, really nice fixtures after Arsenal.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            But the likely plan is to WC next week, so I’m considering going for someone who has a good fixture next week only

            1. Pompel
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Firmino to King or Vardy could be good. But I still fancy Bovvy to outscore them both next GW. What about a punt on Fellaini?

  29. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    (RP simplified) Morata rising twice b4 deadline an likely option? Would hurt on tv as I own firm and want to get Morata in but only have 1 ft and not enough itb.

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I think he will.

  30. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    morata worth getting in v city?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If you want him long term then why not.

      Imo, he can wait a week though

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Depends instead of who ?

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I did. As I did Chic to Roo only to see Roo hauled off the pitch I felt I had to do it a week early.

    4. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      But who for? Certainly not for Kane or Lukaku this GW.
