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.

    Hey guys,

    What’s your thoughts on this lot?

    Foster
    Alonso Jones Cresswell
    Mkhi Brady Ritchie Eriksen
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    Elliot Naughton Carroll Long 2FT

    A) Alonso to Kola
    B) Firmino to Vardy
    C) Alonso and Firmino to Mee and Vardy
    D) Something else?

    Cheers!

    1. Pranav Santhosh

      Alonso to mee and Brady/ritchie to salah?

      1. Kevtheotter

        Hmm not a bad shout actually

      2. Meeseeks
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think this is a great move.

    We expecting a huge rise in average tonight as all the Jesus captains get their Aguero/Morata/Kane vices?

    1. bojack
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hope not as I am expecting to go above AVERAGE in my H2H league πŸ˜†

    2. Numb

      Yeah I know alot of teams with big vice captain scores after jesus

  3. bojack
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aside from fantasy concerns, it's shaping up to be a good season at the moment. I can't look past Citeh for the title just because of the depth of quality they have but United and Chelsea are going to chase them all the way.

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      as a Chelsea fan we have City and Utd at home in the next few games. If we get 4 points out of that then I reckon we chase well, if not then I think it's a 2 horse race

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I predicted city at the start of the year prediction looks to be right but I also picked united to win last year and we didn't even make top 4 last year πŸ™‚

    3. Team Cruel

      Forster
      Valencia - Bavies - Bertrand - Hegazi (Mee)
      Alli - Salah - Mkhi - Brady (Tarroll)
      Lukaku (C) - Morata (McBurnie)

      2 FTs, 1.6 ITB. What to do here? Val > Jones?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Fail

    BOTTOMED
    RMT
    Gomes(Elliot)
    Jones Bavies Mee (Wimmer)(Evans)
    Silva Salah Mkhi (Carroll)(Chalobah)
    Kane Morata Vardy

    have exact funds for Evans to kola or wimmer to otamendi

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Evans is a starter, save otherwise Evans to Kola is fine

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would go Evans to kola

  5. drughi

    Lukaku home to palace with 55% ownership.....gulp

    1. mir
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have a feeling he'll blank this weekend and Palace will score. It's the way this game works - so unpredictable.

      1. Live Lad
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, I have a feeling too that Palace will score this week.

  6. Cube
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hello people, these are my defenders;

    Jones, Trippier, Mbemba, Cedric, Daniels

    I have 1FT, 0.3 ITB. I need to ship Daniels out, so which defender will be beneficial in the next 3-4 gameweeks?

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Naughton?

      1. Cube
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't really see Swansea keeping clean sheets in the coming weeks

        1. Pranav Santhosh
          9 years, 1 month ago

          They have good fixtures coming naughton has attacking potential playing as a wingback. Alternatively mee might be a good option

          1. Cube
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers PS

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

      Maguire naughton Creswell or mee

      1. Cube
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Leicester have really leaky. Kinda leaning towards a Burnley defender though.

    3. Sune

      Fernandez

  7. balint84
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I would sell Willian?
    I should buy a cheaper midfielder. Suggestion? I have ritchie and loftus-cheek. (alli,salah too)

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Choupo moting?

    2. Homer21
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brady

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

      Choupo moting stats and fixtures are offer great potential

    4. Lazaretti
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe wait over next GW to bring in Shagiri or Choupo-Moting, Stoke fixtures getting easier. Ritchie though could be good option. I have Willian but I think I keep him to have 2FT for international break

  8. Live Lad
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play
    (1) Otamendi
    (2) Morgan
    Thanks!

    Will Ozil play tonight? I wouldn't mind Pedro's 8 off the bench in Draft.

    1. eazy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not 100% sure but I think he posted something on social media about a slight injury that keeps him away for today.

      1. eazy
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Checked it and it was a really old post, so no idea πŸ™

  10. Team Cruel

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Forster
    Valencia - Bavies - Bertrand - Hegazi (Mee)
    Alli - Salah - Mkhi - Brady (Tarroll)
    Lukaku (C) - Morata (McBurnie)

    2 FTs, 1.6 ITB. What to do here? Val > Jones?

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hegazi down to 4.0 Valencia to Alonso

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

        Want to have 2FTs for the break. A 4.0 defender would mean potentially two no-shows every week.

        1. Pranav Santhosh
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You could rotate 352 442 depending on mee and Carroll fixtures

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

      Could you do Valencia brady to Coutinho and Jones?

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

        Would be exact cash for Silva. Not bad moves but really want to bank a FT for the IB.

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

          Could upgrade mcburnie to dcl niesse or Abraham have a stronger bench

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get Hegazi outta there

    4. Lazaretti
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brady to Ramsey.

  11. jon.terry.tfh

    Foster Eliott
    Jones Bdavies Fernandez ward memba
    Eriksen Mkhitaryan Richardlison RLC Carroll

    With all strikers on fire I can't really look past a top heavy formation. Want morata but don't really know how. Thoughts?

    1. Homer21
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I know its early days but usually I would describe that as top heavy but it seems to be working so far

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku to morata after this gw?

  12. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who do i get in for Benteke in draft. The guy is beyond useless.....

    He will join Jesus and Defoe.

    A) Okazaki
    B) Welbeck (injured)
    C) Abraham
    D) Carroll
    E) Ibra πŸ™‚
    F) Vokes
    G) Sturridge
    H) Bony
    I) Keep the big slug

    1. Kryten

      C

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don’t see the point in keeping, he might be out for a while. Get Oka.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm definitely getting rid. On Okazaki at the moment.

        You need a grav TC.

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

          Never. I represent the gravless.

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

        Yeah oka is very underrated I could see him a good squad player for some of top 6 teams. He's a premier league winner but I also think Liverpool should go for vardy he looks a klopp player

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i like D

    4. Fantasy Gold
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C

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

      G

    6. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      IBRA

  13. Live Lad
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Despite his form, Firmino won't be dropped anytime soon? They have Sturridge (equally out of sort), Solanke (too inexperienced), Ings (needing time) who can play as a CF.

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

      I think Firmino will be retested for sturridge vs Newcastle if he starts in cl midweek

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino got rested vs Leicester.. (partly)

    3. eazy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about the same question. Maybe if he plays 90mins tomorrow it might be Sturridge's start against Newcastle. Feeling a bit scared about dropping him before that kind of game πŸ™

    4. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino is important to how klopp wants to play will only be dropped if tired not on form

      1. Live Lad
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. He let his teammates shine. But I was worried that he was taken out before the match was decided.

        1. Pranav Santhosh
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't watch the match so don't know why he got subbed most likely for cl games. I think he will start most games in prem albeit some games out wide as klopp rates him highly and doesn't rate Sturridge that much

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

      Liverpool have some tough fixtures coming up, and it hurts him when Mane doesnt play, but I don't think it will be long before I want him back again.

  14. Gruu
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have 3 x 4.5mid & annoying me πŸ™
    However I want to bank a transfer for the int'l break. Any advice?

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bavies Jones Cedric Naughton (Mbemba)
    Eriksen Salah AndyKing (TCarroll Chalobah)
    Lukaku Kane Aguero

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    Cheers!

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save the transfer...any moves would require a hit imo...could downgrade eriksen to silva and upgrade mbemba to go 5-2-3...really depends what formation you are going to use.

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

        This.

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

      My team at the moment almost the same. Major differences are Eriksen/Mkhi, Mbemba/Mee and King/Gross which allows me to play perhaps a more balanced 4-3-3

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

      Five big hitters and a strong defence - looks OK to me. I would wait to see if you have any fires to put out over the Int Break.

      1. Gruu
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yeah..plan to downgrade Eriksen/Salah to Silva and use the money to upgrade one of 4.5 mid and/or Mbemba to Mee

    4. 42towels
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save for sure.

    5. Gruu

              Did it work?

  16. eazy
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool fans do you think it is a possibility that Firmino might be rested against Newcastle?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They play on Tuesday and he only played 65 mins vs Leicester.

      I doubt it.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Naaah.. the man is full of energy. Didnt play full game vs Leicester either..

    3. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      everything is possible but for real, no one knows πŸ™‚ besides Klopp ...maybe..

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

      He is so integral to how we play so I can’t see him being dropped; 5 days should be a long enough break.

  17. Fantasy Gold
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which duo do you prefer?

    A) Choupo-Moting and Firmino

    B) Coutinho and Abraham

    1. Clickzy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) as Abraham is not nailed (in competition with Bony)

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Abraham should be nailed now. Clement apologized for playing the wrong formation after the game, indicating that he will play both Abraham and Bony up top with Ayew in the hole.

    3. Jafalad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. Chopper has good goal threat stats and Salah cancels out the need for Coutinho.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all

  18. Clickzy
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Worth keeping Trippier now as Aurier suspended?

      It's only one game though I think?

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes definetely.. at least for the next gw

    3. eazy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would keep, nailed because of the rc and good fixture

    4. Lord.

      Keep yes, but not to buy.

    Which cheap midfielder to get as a way of funding Morata & Azpi?

    Worth a hit?
    Kane + Mooy to Vardy + Eriksen?

    1. Jafalad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. Booting Kane is nuts.

    2. LakhaneeFC

      Nah man, wouldn't do it for free.

    3. Sune

      No

  21. Pauntley
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any non-Kane owners watch him play at the weekend and still feel OK about not having him in their team? I thought I'd be OK with Lukaku/Morata/Firmino but I feel he's to dangerous to not own - now looking at how I can get Lukaku/Morata/Kane as a front 3 as I'm only willing to drop Firmino (Sturridge rotation / him out wide is my concern). Not willing to consider Aguero because of rotation risk either.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm an owner and i'd be packing my dacks if i didn't have him.

      1. Hot Fuzz
        9 years, 1 month ago

        πŸ™‚ your funny Dingo...

    2. Old Gregg
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's time to some how get him in. I will not be able to do it this week.
      Kane hit the post twice didn't he too? Home (wembeley)form is still a concern. If they crack that Kane's essentially.

    3. RIDZ
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku-Morata is fine, but not for Firmino. Or maybe you can consider swapping Lukaku to Kane due to United fixtures a bit hard.
      Actually it's based on your mid, if you have Eriksen as Spurs back up, it's ok to go without Kane. And if you already have Mkhi, it's fine without Kaku (even though Mkhi score hardly, much different with Eriksen)

  22. Eric Banternaaa
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard time.

    Elliot Foster
    Jones Creswell Mee Naughton Mbemba
    Silva Mkhi Hazard Grob Carroll
    Kane Aguero Chic

    Apart from the hazard gamble, what you all think..?

    1. Jafalad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gks: check
      The D: nice cheap D. The only one I'm a little uncomfortable with is Cresswell but he does have the fixtures and stats to back him up.
      Milfs: worrying choices here. Haz needs to show form first. Miki's stats are not all that great - he has very little goal threat/pen box touches and fear he may regress now with the fixtures against him.
      Silva gets assists but has no goal threat which for me a primary motive behind selecting a milf.
      I'd want to see Eriksen and Salad in there bare minimum.

      Forwards: Not keen on Chico but I agree about two heavy hitters rather than all three. Prefer Morata to Kun who will be a rot threat going forward.

      Rating: 5/10

    Why VvD didn't play? any news on him?
    Just wanna get rid of Yoshida due to rotation risk

    1. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      punishment for being a clown I think he gonna first commit himself to the team and show what he is capable to do in training in u21 games and of the pitch then the coach gonna give him a run around but that is only my opinion ...

      1. Lazaretti
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This. I assume that Yoshida & Hoedt plays against Stoke and after international break Yoshida will be rested and VVD plays with Hoedt...

    Kane and Aguero Captaincy from GW8 - GW15

    BOU, BUR, wba, CRY, lei, hud(WBA), SOT, WHU

    I'm guessing there might be a couple of goals in amongst that?

    1. Mini Mane Mo

      Morata and LKK combination could also give you goals

        Lukaku and Morata rotation GW8 -> GW15

        cry, WAT, bou, Che v Mun, NEW, BHA, SWA, NEW

        I think Kane and Aguero's looks better.

      Looks really enticing, but I don't think Aguero will start all of those games. Pep will rotate/rest him

      Would rather pair Kane with Kaku/Morata if I am going with only 2 big strikers up-front

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        Kane / Morata rotation is pretty nice too. Would you captain Morata though? I wish i had on the weekend.

        1. Mini Mane Mo

          Its the impression that Morata gives to people hence people are less willing to give the armband to him.

          just stick the armband on Kane and leave it there should be right πŸ™‚

        3. LakhaneeFC
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I did captain him this weekend πŸ˜€

          I think with the Manchester teams and Kane taking the limelight (for their hits AND misses), people are really overlooking the consistent points that Morata and Chelsea are accruing.

          It's not swashbuckling stuff (except last week), but Morata seems to be a 20+ goals striker, and the fact that he is leading their front line will always make him more preferable to Aguero for me

    Morning guys

    Gomes (Elliot)
    Naughton BDavies Kola (dunk TAA)
    Mkhi Brady tcarroll salah (cork)
    Sergio Kane laca

    Need to do something to strengthen my midfield, 0.3m itb 1FT

    Any suggestions?

    Too late to go for Jones?
    Have Kola, Ota and Davies as key defenders.

    1. OldBenKenobi

      Tough fixtures after Palace but I'm keeping long term. Still on 5.2 so. It too late

    2. Pranav Santhosh

      Definitely not nailed on united defender for 5.2 is good value

    recent article stating daniels is bournemouth's only realistic option, a josh king who has just set off on a scoring run surely can't be written off

    1. LakhaneeFC

      I would assume King scoring one goal being equated to a scoring run is highly optimistic πŸ™‚ - even by bandwagon standards

      Daniels still seems like their only realistic option, until King scores in the next 2 GWs as well. Then it's all aboard the King train

      1. applebonkers

        Scored in the cup too. Actually think his reclassification has made him underrated, albeit Defoe is a disaster of a strike partner to have

        1. LakhaneeFC
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, missed that. So one more GW to go πŸ™‚

          I agree, he would be the ideal mid-range midfielder, but with the wealth of striking options this time around - it's tough to attempt to fit him in. I think he becomes a viable option when Sanchez/Haz also become crucial players this season

    Morning Y'all,

    any early advice apprecated. Will wait till after mid-week games.

    Elliot
    Kola-Jones-Fernandes
    Salah-Eriksen-Mhki-Atsu

    Henn-Marriappa-T Carroll- Suttner

    a) Save
    b) Jesus > Vardy (WC during int break)
    c) A N Other

    So what do I do with TAA now that he dropped to 4.4?
    I was going to get a Burnley def in but now cant as Ive 0 ITB.

    Any advice πŸ™

    1. Jafalad

      Well on the plus side there are plenty of useful 4.5s about so when you have the cash or at Wildcard time, boot TAA at that point.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No WC unfortunately. My best beds is that Mee eventually falls this week and I get him. Ive 2 FTs and only player I can replace to get the 0.1 is Tom Carroll. Annoyed I didn't make the early transfer to a Burnley def last night πŸ™
