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.

    reposted due to at bottom of last page :What team is better, A which is my current team or B which seems more balanced?

    Team A = Current team

    Foster/Elliot
    Jones- Kiko Femenia- Lascelles- Lowe-Mbemba
    Silva- Mikhitaryan- Choupo-Moting- Salah- Surman
    Kane-Morata-Aguero

      I'd go team A

  2. sthelenslad92

    Need to replace Jay Rodriguez:

    A) Chicarito
    B) Andre Gray
    C) Abraham
    D) Wood

    1. T444
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A Swansea up next

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did j.rod to abraham before the deadline. He is the best you can get under 7.0 in my opinion. Decent fixtures for now

    hemed owners, whats the plan if he gets banned?

    bench or sell?

    1. camarozz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is he in retrospective and bother for that stamp on player then?

      To me looked like he ment it and not a slip...

      1. Sims
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yeah it didn't look good. could be on 3 points right now, feel very lucky

  4. Deulofail

    If Mendy is out for only one GW + If Sanchez starts and plays well:

    A) Mkhi > Sanchez ... Jesus > Morata ... Mendy > Azpi/Bellerin (-4)
    B) Mkhi > Sanchez ... Jesus > Morata ... Play Chalobah
    C) Mkhi > Sanchez ... Play Jesus .......... Mendy > Bellerin
    D) Play Mkhi ............ Jesus > Morata ... Mendy > Azpi/Bellerin

    Early thoughts on this? 🙂

    1. MikeS

      D by far

      1. Deulofail
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Does that mean you think Mkhi will outscore Sanchez going forward?

        1. Sims
          9 years, 1 month ago

          he probably thinks morata will do better

          1. Deulofail
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Better than who?

        2. MikeS
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I just think Miky will do well vs palace so no point ditching him before then. Also Sanchez hasn't hit form yet, give him a few weeks. Morata > Jesus as nailed on to start

  5. camarozz

    1. HALFSPACE
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus was a bit of a luxury tbh, moved to Firmino, realised that Firm was a waste of a 3rd striker spot considering I want captain options across the front 3 so moved to Morata. Happily ever after.

      1. Sims
        9 years, 1 month ago

        what about lacazette, probably a bigger waste than firmino

        1. HALFSPACE
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Meh, he'll come good. WBA, BHA and wat next 3

  8. camarozz
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey is due a haul seeing as iv kept faith in him so long. He's gone on WC too.

    In fact all players except, kane, lukaku elliot and Ryan are gone on my WC.

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

    Thinking I should activate my WC, but Im not sure..

    Elliot l Foster
    Mbemba l Moreno l Trippier l Mee l Manquillo
    Alli l Salah l Mkhi l Carrol l RLC
    Morata l Lukaku Aguero

    If I use WC it will be somethink like this:

    Foster > Fabianski
    Manquillo > Jones
    Trippier > Cedric
    Alli > D. Silva
    Carrol > King
    RLC > Romeu
    Lukaku > Kane

    Right now I got 1FT and 0.0 INB

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Trippers will be ok for Hudd
      Alli has a better fixture than Silva
      RLC/Carroll to King/Romeu just only pair of 2pointers
      Lukuku could outscore Kane

      save surely

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

        Thanks. Just dont like the price changes..

  10. Egg noodle
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mendy to Azpili/Walker or save?

    1. sthelenslad92
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    2. MKHIBRADODO
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if hit, save.

  11. SoccerBoi69
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rooney/Mkhitaryan to Morata/Choupo-Moting (-4)?

    Planning to replace Mkhi with Pogba, eventually... and Stoke have some nice fixtures coming up (bar Man City away). Any better options 5.7m or under? Want to make the change before Morata's (likely) price rise tonight...

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Choupo-Moting needs to show consistency before he becomes an option

      1. SoccerBoi69
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you recommend 5.7m or under? Unless I was to transfer out Gross as well. Mkhi/Gross to Loftus-Cheek + 6.7m. I can't see many better options. Considering his aerial threat, that he plays high up the pitch, and the fixtures... (thanks though!)

    2. Odikostar
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney and micky outscores the other two without the hit this week

      1. SoccerBoi69
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But it's not just based on this week... I'd be keeping them both for quite sometime, more than likely. Just moving early before the price rise.

  12. HD7
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cuco Martina or Mee/Ward?

    1. sthelenslad92
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mee

  13. Sz21
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have Firmino from the start.
    He is 8.6m now from 8.5m at the start when I got him.

    Thinking about switching to Vardy.
    I thought I wouldn't lose any value from my squad should I keep for a few more days even though he is about to drop.

    I'm confused because I have just 0.1m in bank now but if I go ahead with this transfer right now I will have 0.2m in the bank..

    1. sthelenslad92
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bring in Vardy

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

      You can sell for 8.6
      If he drops, it's 8.5

      1. Sz21
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Even if he drops tonight it will not affect your selling price of him. (stays at 8.5m).

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        9 years, 1 month ago

        sorry i didn't realise Firm was currently 8.7.

  14. camarozz
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Antonio?? Iv to take a hit to replace him or play stephans who probably won't play so in turn it will be T. Carroll

    1. Odikostar
      9 years, 1 month ago

      t caroll ain't the end of the world. If he can recover before gw8 I would keep

  15. Olee
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Repost, bottomed:

    How to fit Lukaku in this team, and not sell Kane?

    Foster-Elliot
    Davies-Jones-Cedric-Naughton-Long
    Eriksen-Salah-Mkhi-Carroll-RLC
    Kane-Jesus-Firmino

    2FT, 0.2ITB

    Feel like not having Kaku vs Palace is very risky...am I the only one feeling this way?
    Any better ideas? 🙂

    1. sthelenslad92
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only way I can see you doing it is downgrading Firmino

    2. Chris_White
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same situation, and just think it's not worth it for just one game

      1. Olee
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I tend to agree, it's just the high ownership that is scaring me! And Lukaku's history of goals galore vs lesser teams.

        1. Chris_White
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I get you. United haven't looked good the last games, but I guess that doesn't matter when facing Palace..

          1. Olee
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If he gets a brace or more, you drop almost no matter what i think. Better safe than sorry'?

    3. Trilogist
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus > Lukaku
      Mkhi > Richarlison
      Bank the ££

      1. Olee
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Have been looking at it...either that or Firmino to Abraham and bank. But worried about his gametime, anyone know why he didnt start this week?

  16. mr messi
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian to ? Up to 8.1m

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monitor Ramsey in MNF

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

      Pedro, Sane, no nailed options but very explosive, risk/reward

    3. Chris_White
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ideally find .2 extra for Silva...but Ritchie I guess

    4. mr messi
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks everyone

  17. OldBenKenobi
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which would you pick?

    A) Firmino & Mkhitaryan (currently own)
    B) Vardy & Silva
    C) Aguero & Atsu

    My other attackers are:
    Kane
    Lukaku
    Eriksen
    Salah

    1. OldBenKenobi
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Note I'll likely be priced out of B and C after tonight's price changes

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

        B

    2. Chris_White
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B probably

    4. MikeS
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

    I feel like doing something crazy, not right now but may be forced to make a judgement call if Coutinho edges towards a second rise to avoid being priced out.

    Moves: Mkhi and Brady to Coutinho and March -8

    Could have a great team but at the cost of 8 points, what do you think?

    X1 would be:
    Fabianski
    Davies Jones Naughton
    Salah Coutinho Silva March
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not when Mkhi has CP at home. i would save transfer tbh

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

        I wouldn't expect it to pay off this gw but the worry is being priced out, can it be at all justified?

    2. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it.

    3. Rik Waller
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Absolute no-no

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

        I'll close my fpl page as soon as I send this, Liverpool bias on steroids there I think

    4. MikeS
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like it but don't like double liverpool mid, would prefer pedro/Miky/Pogba/Alli/Eriksen to one of the pool mids, or ramsey if he hits form.

  19. MikeS
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster/Elliot
    Jones- Kiko Femenia- Lascelles- Lowe-Mbemba
    Silva- Mikhitaryan- Choupo-Moting- Salah- Surman
    Kane-Morata-Aguero

    1FT 0.1 in bank.. GTG?

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

      GtG, defence quite light though, hope you have a WC just in case

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Its great till you see the defence. Maybe a 1.0 downgrade in midfield can make it more balanced in defence

      1. MikeS
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Could downgrade Kun to Vardy and then upgrade any of the 4.5 defenders to Azpi & Ben Davies?

        Don't really fancy lightening the midfield..

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

          Ah, you're on WC, I'd do either Morata or Kun to Vardy and beef up that defence. Sure you want rid of Kun

          1. MikeS
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure Kun will start every game, where as Kane and Morata will..

            Vardy has great fixtures and frees up cash for defence..

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

              Yeah I agree Vardy in for one of them, if you're happy with Kun out then it will give you a more balanced side

  20. Sonder
    9 years, 1 month ago

    RMT, please

    Foster, Elliot
    Jones, Cedric, Naughton, Schindler, Mbemba
    Eriksen, Salah, Mhki, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Lukaku, Joselu

    1.9 ITB, 2 FT

    Good to go? Or should I consider transferring in Silva for Mhki?

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

      Silva for Mkhi after this gw as you can afford to wait

    2. AllanM
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If I had 2FT not sure I'd keep Joselu

    3. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly upgrade one of the your lesser DEF an option to a premium def with good fixtures and goal threat etc.

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

        Missed the 2 frees part, the suggestions above look good

  21. I Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will be priced out of Mkhi -> Silva tonight but it's too risky to make that move before CL games. Hopefully Sane and/or Sterling emerge as real options.

    1. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Too kneejerky

    2. Fantasy Gold
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I really don't get this move.

      Seen it mentioned on here a lot.

      1. Odikostar
        9 years, 1 month ago

        this

    3. MikeS
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it- Miky has palace at home.

      Silva has chelsea.. Miky likely to score more pts next week.

    4. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not doing it. Would like to for GW8 but will be priced out. Will just have to find another way to get a City attacker.

  22. Sz21
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What percentage chance would you WC this lot next GW?

    Asking cos I either use my FT here to change Yoshida to a 100% nailed option or I save the FT and have 2 next GW which may be enough?

    Begovic.
    Kolasinac, Jones, Mee, Yoshida.
    Atsu, Alli, Eriksen.
    Lukaku, Vardy, Kane.

    Elliot, Choupo, Mbemba, Carroll,
    1ft, 0.2m in account..

    1. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't WC that lot. Begovic + Yoshi (providing VVD enters the side again) needs to go. No other pressing matters really.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Yoahie to Cedric job done

  23. The White Pele

    is sane a good option ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 1 month ago

      If starting he is.

    2. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Getting him in now is not advised. Only once we know he starts week in and out or even we know will get decent minutes I would stay away for someone more nailed.

  24. Sancidino
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino to Vardy?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I probably would

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just did it.

    3. Chris_White
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very tempting, I must say. Just all that Champions League action which puts me a bit off

      1. Odikostar

        good shout

    4. MikeS

      100%

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

        Did it and yes
        Reasons for
        1. Vardy is a proven, nailed, regular scorer + great fixture this gw
        2. Firmino has been known to go on long runs of blanks
        3. Firmino hasn't been known to do well in big matches, 2 of his next 3 are big matches
        4. Studge & CL will affect Firmino's minutes

    5. FPL Pillars
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait if you can. Could backfire.

  26. Positive vibes
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun to Morata?
    The reason is Pep will rotates his squad, like de Jesus this week. While Morata is very nailed with decent fixtures start GW8.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    1. Odikostar
      9 years, 1 month ago

      think i'd wait til gw9

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Id say not before their game against each other. After that both have good fixtures for a few weeks. Depends who you fancy. Peps rotation isnt a good enough reason to lose aguero though. He is less of a rotation risk than jesus imo. More experienced and proven for example

    3. Shota Coco
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on the rest of your team really but I think Morata as well as Aguero with Kane/Lukaku could be the way to go.

  27. bennyp
    9 years, 1 month ago

    62 with Kolasinac to play... not bad so far.

    Fab - Elliot
    Kola - Davies - Mendy* - Mee - Mbemba
    Salah - Silva - Ritchie - RLC - Carroll
    Kane - Kun - Vardy

    1ft & 0itb.

    Do i need to get rid of Mendy??
    Also tempted by Salah -> Cout now...

    1. Shota Coco
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, if he's out for a few weeks. Straight swap to Walker seems logical but Azpilicueta looks good as Chelsea have a run of crap teams coming up after City.

  28. Shota Coco
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Alonso and Firmino to Fernandez and Aguero for a -4? It's either tonight or I'm priced out.

    Rest of Team
    Foster
    Jones -- Bavies -- Schindler
    Eriksen -- Silva -- Mkhitaryan
    Lukaku -- Morata

      Wildcard? Lose one of Aguero/Morata for Vardy and upgrade a cheaper mid to Silva imo

      1. Fanta sea

        No WC

        The only way I manage that is if i remove either Kane or Aguero. I then have to trade Groß to Silva.
        I personally don't see Aguero + Groß ---> Silva + Vardy as a good trade.

          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah don't do that, I thought you were on wildcard

        Understand where you are coming from with the light midfield but i would say a WC is a slight exaggeration as 3 premium strikers is looking very viable right now

        1. We Will Klopp you

          No I was asking if he was on wildcard, if you want to go with the premium front 3 I feel you have to go 4-3-3, don't want 2 cheaper mids, more value in defenders of the same price but if not then looks good.

            I get you. Not many decent sub 6.0 mids around rn

            100% correct. I'm going to be playing 443 next gameweek. I think next week I'm going to have to downgrade Forster to a 4.5m keeper and then use that amount to upgrade Doucoure to Chupo Moting.

            So Next week Transfer:

            Forster + Doucoure ---> Foster + Chupo Moting

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Please, Hegazi scoring an own goal too would be even better

    2. Shota Coco

      Might be too much to ask. I'd like a 2-1 with Iwobi, Giroud and Morrison on the mark.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'll settle for that

          No need to hope for OGs really then unless mini league rivals have them
