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.

      Spurs but Old Trafford is better than Wembley for home games.

    4. Dreams
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs easy.

    5. noquarternt
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How would you do it? Matchplay (player v player) or cumulative?

    6. VFORVANDETA

    Elliot
    Alonso - Jones - Naughton - Cedric
    Ritchie - Eriksen - Salah
    Kane - Morata - Vardy

    Foster - Carroll RLC Long

    1.6 ItB

    Used 1 FT for Firmino - Vardy
    Save the other FT?

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save

  3. noquarternt
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey and Bellerin

    How many points are they going to get me?

    2 + 2 = 4?

    1. Dreams
      9 years, 1 month ago

      20+2 = 22.

      1. noquarternt
        9 years, 1 month ago

        😀

    2. The Overthinker
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1+2 = 3

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

        Agreed @Overthinker, @Noquarternt forgot about Ramsey's yellow

    3. Jason Bourne
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey good for at least 7

    4. I am 42
      9 years, 1 month ago

      need Ramsey to score 3 points to win h2h

  4. Supersonic
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Currently:
    Bavies-naughton-holgate-mbemba-tuanz

    0.5itb

    need to swap out holgate.. a) wait and see if Mee drops
    B) Daniels a good shout at 4.9
    C) is money better spent somewhere else?

    Cheers

  5. FantasyNik123
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any merit to captaining Kane instead of Lukaku as I'll still get some Lukaku points if he explodes, but less people own Kane so could work out as a major captain differential?

    1. noquarternt
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who will score more? Kane or Lukaku. Base your decision on that.

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What if I'm not sure? Rival doesn't have Kane and will likely captain Kaku.

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

          You should be sure if you captain Kane.

    2. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As a non-Kaku owner he scares me to death, cap him 100% this week.

    3. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If your not captaining lukaku at home this week at palace get rid of him

    4. mazkills
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have Kaku, but tempted to switch solely on coaching style. Mourinho in the past typically likes to get a goal, and hunker down. Their multiple goal games usually come on the counter later on. Kane should typically see more chances

      1. Ghost Gooner
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Uniteds 'goals scored' column disagrees

        1. mazkills
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I agree, something to watch though. Watch a soccer game stat boy

          1. Ghost Gooner
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Had to point you towards the evidence. Not my fault you too clueless to realise United have scored over 20 plus goals already.

    5. Magic Bean
      9 years, 1 month ago

      United playing on Wednesday in Russia is not ideal at all, let's see how that goes. There's a big week ahead.

    6. Transient Anus
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon Kane will do better

  6. The Overthinker
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Having 2Ft and using one of it is so stressful
    Gw6 : sold suttner for naughton. Sutter got a cs
    Gw7 : will be selling naughton to Daniels..

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      swa yet to concede away.

      1. The Overthinker
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Westham to keep a Cs?

        1. Netley Lucas
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe, fixtures improving.

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

      Why do you want Daniels?

      1. The Overthinker
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I thought they play Burnley at home . My bad

    3. mazkills
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty damn jerky

  7. The Overthinker
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are cresswell and Dawson Best defender below 5 for gw7 only ?

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

      I think so, wouldn't be surprised to see either concede though

    2. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fonte's goal threat quite good fwiw.

    3. Transient Anus
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric

  8. sglancelot
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need some help, have 2 FTs but have no idea who to transfer. Best thing I can think of is Chalobah > RLC

    Elliot Krul
    Mbemba Kolasinac Jones Davies Cedric
    Chalobah Eriksen Salah Ritchie Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    0.4 ITB.

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

      I'd probably go for that, nothing else looks appealing, nice team btw

    2. mazkills
      9 years, 1 month ago

      consider Fellaini while Pogba is out for a punt

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

        Not worth it, nobody worth benching for Fellaini in his team

        1. mazkills
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If u r considering Rubin Loftus Cheek - that is investing in a hope that is not even a differential, he is popular. Remember when Fellaini scores against Palace...

          1. mazkills
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Again, with 2 Ft's on a team that doesn't need changes, I would rip one on a punt

  9. Dreams
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hello Dzzers. How're you all doing on this Monday?

    1. The Overthinker
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't feel like getting up from the bed and going to college.
      Still not over Jesus scoring a big 0 when city score 5

      1. Dreams

        Has your vacation not started yet?

        1. The Overthinker
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nah. I am in middle of the term right now. I get my vacation in December and June after the end of every semester

            Which uni are you in?

            1. The Overthinker

      In work here suffering with a bad head cold nursing my defensive(Mendy/Davies/Fab)hangover. Hopefully Kola to the rescue tonight!

  10. davies
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What to do?

    A) Save FT
    B) Sell Hegazi

    1FT / 0.5 ITB

    Foster
    Davies / Jones / Cedric / Hegazi
    Eriksen / Salah / Mkhi
    Kane / Aguero / Chicharito

    Elliot / Carroll / RLC / Mbemba

    Cheers.

    1. Dreams

      A

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

      A right now.

    3. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. No brainer.

    4. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2FT, what to do with this team

    Forster
    Maguire Bertrand Alderweireld Mee
    Eriksen Atsu Richarlison
    Lukaku Jesus Kane

    Elliot Gross Carroll Hegazi

    1. Dreams
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing really. It's a fine team. Maybe Jesus to Morata.

    2. mazkills
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Play a front 7 IMO

    3. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Jesus to Firmino. Then cover a city asset in mid.

    4. jia you
      9 years, 1 month ago

      In good shape that team. Rather than waste the FT, you could get rid of Hegazi if he's dropped tonight?

    5. GreennRed
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Jesus and defence to upgrade midfield.

  12. Slow regard for silent thin…
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What does everyone think about Sterling? Value and seems to play when avail

    1. GreennRed
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The when available is important. Plenty of attacking competition there. Even if he's nailed on practically all City outfield can bring some attacking returns so he's looking for a share of big spoils.

      1. Slow regard for silent thin…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Looking for some value City cover. Have Jesus and KDB now and thinking of replacing KDB with a cheaper option. Think Silva is currently overpriced.

        1. Flying without Ings
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Silva isn't overpriced.

          1. Slow regard for silent thin…
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Already risen 0.4 and little goals in him.

        2. Ghost Gooner
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Eriksen is 9.7 with 42pts, Silva is 8.4 with 41pts. How is that overpriced?

          1. Slow regard for silent thin…
            9 years, 1 month ago

            And Grob is 5.6 with 35 pts.

            1. Ghost Gooner
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Exactly my point, value for money just like Silva, not overpriced

              1. GreennRed
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Gross got more than half his points in one game. Remains to be seen if he's good FPL value. Definitely invaluable for Brighton though.

        3. Carlton_Goal
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Silva is looking good but lacking goal threat. Very consistent returns with assists though. I'd keep an eye on Sane to see if he starts to get more game time as he is a goalscorer

        4. GreennRed
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm avoiding City. Trying to find a more dominant attacker more likely to get good hauls, plus baps compared to City where there are too many attacking options, so will ra5ely get big hauls.

          Hazard, Salah, Eriksen, Kane, Morata, though Hazards not up to snuff just yet.

    2. Carlton_Goal
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I was considering him. Seems to score every game he plays even when off the bench. I'm worried about Sane taking some of his minutes now though

      1. Slow regard for silent thin…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Same thoughts! He's a passionate one

  13. Flying without Ings
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Too much of a rotation risk.

  14. Carlton_Goal
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do any of these transfers this week?

    A) Alonso + Naughton > Kolasinac + Bavies
    B) Lossl + Naughton > Elliot + Bavies (already have Mbemba)
    C) Foster + Lowe > Elliot + Bavies
    D) Naughton/Lowe > Jones
    E) Alonso + Brady > David Silva + Cresswell (0.1 short of getting Jones)

    1. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      E

      1. Carlton_Goal
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the response. I think Cresswell could be quite good going forward, playing wing back and on corners, plus west ham starting to look better defensively (apart from spurs game)

        1. Flying without Ings
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Though CS will be hard to come by with cresswell. West ham and all.

          1. Carlton_Goal
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Have kept 3 clean sheets in 4 since switching to 3 at the back and next 4 games are Swansea, Burnley, Brighton and Palace

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B or D

      1. Carlton_Goal
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If D would you sell Naughton or Lowe? Bearing in mind I have Lossl too

        1. Pranav Santhosh
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sell lowe Swansea haven't conceded away have good fixtures and if they play 3 atb naughton plays in a more advanced right wing back role

          1. Carlton_Goal
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers for the advice

  15. HellasLEAF
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles or Mbembe

    1. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go with who will give your team a better balance not necessarily who will get you more points.

      1. HellasLEAF
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Mbembe fairly nailed though? If not then there are a number of 4.5 or 4.6 I can choose from..

    2. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt Mbemba starts v Salah

    3. Carlton_Goal
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles more nailed on. I've got Mbemba for the extra cash and even though he has had a decent run of games so far there is a risk he might get dropped. When both playing will probably get similar points. Lascelles wont score every week

    4. GreennRed
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mbemba. Playing fodder.

  16. billy.p
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster Elliot,
    Davies, Stones, Jones, Hegazi
    Ritchie, Salah, Eriksen, Mkhi, Carroll
    Wood, Jesus, Lukaka
    1 FT 1.4 In the bank

    Should I...
    A: Jesus for Kane then Silva for Eriksen for a -4 hit and 0.6m leftovers
    B: Stones for Kolasinac FT and hope jesus comes back in
    C: Jesus for Kane and Coutinho for Eriksen -4 hit and 0.1m leftovers
    D: Jesus for Morata on FT hoping for a rise there and chelsea to win at home
    E: Jesus for Aguero and re-evaluate later

    Still have my WC

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See midweek CL minutes to get a feel of whether Jesus will play v Chelsea

    2. billy.p
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was wondering if he was being subbed against the more physical teams ie chelsea, perhaps doesnt seem the case though

    3. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  17. E25
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Playing my WC next game week.
    What punt would you take for a 1 week transfer this week?
    Thinking something like Mounie > Abraham (whu)

    Foster (Elliot)
    Jones Bertrand Kola Mee (TAA)
    Mkhit Salah Eriksen (TC RLC)
    Lukaku Kane *MOUNIE*

    1FT 0ITB

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Abraham was a sub this gw.

  18. Messsiaah
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My current team:

    Foster / Elliot
    Otamendi Davies Jones Bertrand / Long
    Alli Salah Mikhi Atsu / Carrol
    Aguero Kane / 4.5 striker

    Do I need to WC?

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

      Depends on the price structure you want.

    2. I Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you want to change formation. That's a very nice 4-4-2.

  19. Shifty
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Punted on Hazard over Morata this weekend...meh.

    Can't turn back now can i?

    1. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stick. Be patient.

      1. bigbudgie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard has to be for the long term. He's scored over 200 points in three out of the last 4 seasons. But 10.5 takes a lot of patience to wait on

  20. Messsiaah
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My WC team:

    Foster / Elliot
    Jones Naughton Kiko Simpson / Mbemba
    Sterling Coutinho Mikhi Atsu / Carrol
    Aguero Kane Morata

    1. Flying without Ings
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero/Morata might be 4 pts only while Lukaku hauls

    3. GreennRed
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good but your front 3 are hindering your defence's points appeal.

  21. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2FTs. Which combo is better for GW7? Then I'll probably WC after the break.

    1 - Alonso, Firm > Kola, Vardy
    2 - Alonso, Firm > Bavies, Lacazette
    3 - Alonso, RLC, Firm > Jones, Salah, Abraham -- but play 352
    4 - Something else

    Foster, Elliot
    Cedric, Dawson, Alonso, BSmith, Rangel
    Eriksen, Mhki, Richarlison, Atsu, RLC
    Firmino, Kane, Lukaku

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 or 1, 2 would interest me only if Lacazette plays with Sanchez and Ozil tonight

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just thinking ahead. Definitely waiting to see how the game goes.

  22. samaael
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Elliot
    Jones/ Alonso/ Mee
    Alli/ Salah/ Silva/ Brady
    Kane/ lukaku/ Joselu

    Foster/ Chalobah/ Mbemba/ g. Cameron

    2FT 0ITB

    a)
    Alli to RLC/ Joselu to Morata

    b)
    Alli to 6.5m / Joselu to Vardy

    c)
    gw6
    g. cameron to Martina

    gw7
    get Morata in for a hit

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All terrible, I wouldn't lose Alli, Martina might play in Europa and get benched on the weekend and Morata in a tough game

    1. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Changed my cpt from Kane to Morata because of that thread. A poster mentioned the Stoke backline injuries and I never looked back 🙂

        Nice!

      2. fedolefan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair, you must have only made 4 points from the switch. The real jackpot was owning both. Well done.

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

    Best move here?

    A) Jesus -> Morata/Vardy (save FT)
    B) Love -> Martina (save FT)
    C) Love & Jesus -> Kola & Vardy
    D) Silva & Jesus -> Cout & Morata

    Foster
    Bavies, Cedric, Moreno
    Alli, Silva, Phillips, Carroll
    Lukaku, Kane, Jesus

    Elliot, Naughton, RLC, Love
    Bank 0.4m, 2FTs, 1WC

    Why does Silva need to score goals to be worthwhile?

    Right now he's the main man feeding a front line that's scoring at will, assists alone get him tons of points.

      Some dude said he is overpriced because he doesn't score. I point him to his 41pts v Eriksen's 42pts and he still argues his overpriced stance

        Yeah I just don't get it. I've heard it many times on here to avoid D. Silva because he doesn't score much. It's strange to me.

          Silva is not leaving my team unless he starts being rotated

    Sterling is averaging a goal every 60 mins in this city team. 5 in 300 minutes of football. Didn't play the Liverpool game because of suspension. Still only 1 point less than Alli.

    7.8 million.

    Fools gold?

      Rotation is the only concern

      1. bigbudgie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But what I'm saying is: at that price, and his form, and the positions he gets into...he might still be worth it, if you have a decent enough 5th mid or 4th defender to cover. I guess it's the 10 minute cameo that can kill that

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah exactly. It's the 1 pointers that are the killer. For that price I think you want someone nailed and surely city can't keep up their current scoring record!?

            I don't know. They are quite terrifying. Chelsea game will be a good barometer.

      Like Son last season. He got to 171 pts which is incredible but his starts were sporadic

    Done the Firmino > Vardy swap last night!

    Anyone else hoping it pays off?

    Anyone not done it but considering?

      after his goal, he will probably get a start
