The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at the Amex Stadium as Brighton entertain Southampton in the 1.30pm kick-off.

From a Fantasy perspective, Pascal Gross has been the standout attacking asset among these two sides this season.

Owned by over 16% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging two goals and four assists, the German has been involved in 80% of the Seagulls’ efforts in front of their own fans.

Yet it’s the visitors’ Manolo Gabbiadini who is the most captained from this match, with 7,150 managers handing him the armband on the back of his brace in Gameweek 8.

However, the Saints’ record on the road – two goals for and against in three – suggests that clean sheets may be the likeliest source of points for both sides.

The visitors are without Maya Yoshida today, with the Japan international dropping to the bench –
over 80,000 FPL managers drafted him in last week.

Of the two, it’s Chris Hughton’s men who have the most encouraging schedule for those looking to invest.

Brighton seek a a third clean sheet in five today and, with a trip to Swansea preceding visits from Stoke and Palace in the upcoming four Gameweeks, centre-halves Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk could play their way into our plans.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          It’s quite funny actually. A lot can happen before it’s confirmed a terrible gw 🙂 Cheers

    Dunk 15 pointer.

    2. HALFSPACE

      Holebas-esque last season

      The scenes if this occurs

  3. My heart goes Salalalalah

    8 years, 4 months ago

    43 (-4) with Atsu, Gross and Elliott to play.

    I need some input on where to change first please. 1.4ITB

    Kola, Jones, Davies, Naughton, Mbemba
    Salah, D.Silva, Gross, Atsu, Carroll
    Kane, Jesus, Morata

    Thinking Kola to Daniels first?

  4. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Yoshida not starting is a bummer..

    Where to next here then-

    Elliot, Fabianski.
    Kolasinac, Yoshida, Jones, Mbemba, Mee.
    Choupo-Moting, Richarlison, Sterling, Carroll, Salah.
    Lukaku, Aguero, Vardy.

    1ft, 1.6m in bank.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Same here, see above. Maybe Kola to Daniels first?

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        might keep Kola..
        Yoshida to Daniels maybe.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Tammy for Vardy. Beef up midfield and get DDG for gw12.

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Southampton CS please

    1. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      0:0

  6. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Torn between wanting a Gross goal and a Forster CS.............

  7. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Gross 🙂

  8. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Gross. Need that double digit haul now, more than ever.

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

    BTTS - essential!

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is this now the first choice Soton back 4?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think most people expected Hoedt and VVD to be the first choice pairing in the long run. I think Yosh got longer than expected

      1. Hymie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yes. Switching from Yosh to Cedric some weeks ago has been painful to watch until now.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        A good defence in real football terms though

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Remember back in the days when Forster used to be a decent keeper and got a double digit haul every now and then?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He’s never been a decent keeper imo.

  12. HALFSPACE
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is Lukaku worth the 1.2m over Jesus? Discuss

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Come GW12 absolutely, for me.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Over Jesus? Easily.

      Over Kun or Morata is a more interesting question.

    3. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Without a shadow of a doubt. Wait till next week though

  13. Totti
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    gross
    2 goals and assist plz 🙂
    this would be great and save my gameweek

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      1. Totti

    2. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be happy with anything more than 3 points really!

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        me too 🙂

  14. GOTHAM City F.C.

  15. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Bong is terrible. Get Suttner on before it’s too late. Preferably before the 29 minute mark.

  16. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Come on 0-0! A Dunk or VvD would be okay to save an awful gw.

    1. Point-one short

  17. Oven Glover

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  23. Point-one short

    And there goes Dunk's points. Goodnight.

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep.

  25. le flem
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Ship out Jesus before or after Napoli game?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I would say after - could see Kun playing 90 in Napoli then benched again for Arsenal with Jesus vice versa

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero won't be bench against arsenal

      2. le flem
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I think Aguero will play both to be honest. Still, he could easily get injured.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Dier off free kicks in Russia!

  27. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
