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.

    FPL are so pish at counting saves....

    Need this to remain 0-0 or 1-0 to Newcastle. Pascal Gross's big chance the best of the match so far. Knockaert wrong place, wrong time.

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Need it to be 2:2, Gross and Ritchie braces both. Sadly, doesnt work that way though.

        Would be brilliant, one can only hope!

      If we are voting I'll have goals from Ritchie and lascelles (assisting each other) and a pen save or two from Elliot.

      Thanks!

    A keeper duo of Elliot (4.0) and Pereira (3.9) is sweet

    1. Differentiator

      Not really a duo

    5. Pierce34

      *Merino

      Different to Moreno.

      Hence the confusion.

    6. Revival

      9 years, 1 month ago

      the Newcastle one is spelled Merino. Yeah his passing looks good and composed and he has made some great tackles. Won't lead to FPL points!

  5. Differentiator
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Duffy getting up for headers. Good lad

  6. markmcr

    this match is really boring

    1. Ramboros

      What are you talking about? It's incredibly exiting with a defender from each team.

      1. some witty pun

        but I own Ritchie so

        1. Pochecinno

    What an entertaining first half!!

      have you been locked in a basement for 6 months?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, with Tony Pulis 😆

  11. Garlana
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Am I too late to say Joselol after that miss? I guess in me paying 5.5 for a striker I should expect this frustration.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He will still manage to score once in a while, somehow. That's what you get for a 5.5m striker, unless he starts putting every chance away.

  12. My Name Is Pepu
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lord Mbemba scoring a Kane-esque goal from an attempted cross would be really sweet.

  14. Numb

    How is Joselu still starting ahead of Mitrovic and Gayle?

    Knockaert looking good.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As a player yes as an fpl asset I didn't see much . I'm delighted that ball hit him . He clearly pushed the Newcastle player out of the way

      1. Numb
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I meant more generally.

    2. My Name Is Pepu

      Mitrovic banned right now

      1. Numb

    Lads,
    Do you think that Ramsey+Lukaku duo score more next week compared to Silva+Jesus?
    Tinkering whether to take a hit prior to Wildcarding before Int.break or should I just make Jesus → Lacazette as a one week punt.

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Odikostar
      9 years, 1 month ago

    Joselu is such a terrible finisher.

    Is anyone else bored out of their mind watching this game? Brought Pascal Gross in without watching him play, now really regretting it. Brighton are so toothless, really negative whenever they get near the penalty area. Just. make. some. runs.

    1. Odikostar
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's like Snoddy for hull I think. Will go games without being close, but will give value in the long run because of involment in most goals

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

        He's certainly skillful, but everyone seems to be lacking confidence, him included.

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

      They were good first 30 mins

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

        I think they've more or less controlled things, but even when they've had good spells of possession, as soon as they get into the final third everything slows down and the ball goes backwards. I'd prefer to own Atsu just cause he's more exciting to watch.

    3. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I don't think they're a team that focuses too much on attack. This looks a 0-0 all day long tbh.

    4. bojack
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I thought they were OKish against Bournemouth last week.

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Relegation waiting to happen, they're Championship material.

    6. Podge

      Double Newcastle defs so if he's stay quiet that'd be great thanks

  23. Sims

    Hemed again proving himself to be the best striker under 8.5 bracket

    Same shite as others for significantly less money

    2. Sailboats

        Stats wise he's brilliant...real life is a bit more sketchy.

  25. TheTinman

    Gross to Choppa as soon as possible

    2. G-Whizz

      How long you had him?

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go for Brady or Atsu

    4. Sims
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Moting looks very dangerous. Good fixtures coming up patience will be repaid with him

    5. Odikostar

      yep

  26. james 101

    2. G-Whizz

      Hope 0-1, fear 1-0... I'd take 0-0

    4. My Name Is Pepu

      3-0 to Newcastle, Mbemba hattrick.

            9 years, 1 month ago

            that people are selling him

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Being sold.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Rate at which being sold. Blue arrows= Bought.

          4. HashAttack
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The blue / red arrows indicate whether people are buying or selling, more arrows indicate more activity
            Players go down to -100% before they drop in value
