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

    Groß you legend!

    Next week it's hopefully Richarlison's turn to score/assist 🙂

      Agreed. I'll take 7 points every day of the week from any player! Regardless of price.

      Gross has been gold so far this season 🙂

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      I think he looks decent when he plays. Could be a bargain if he gets regular starts under Puel.

    Wimmer (7points) coming on for Suttner!!!! 🙂

  6. Fanta sea

    8 years, 4 months ago

    It's amazing that people continue to sleep on Groß. If Brighton score, it'll most likely come through Groß. For only 5.8 mil, he's an absolute bargain for a player that can sometimes get assists. 5 assists in the last 7 is very good. Sure he won't get much against the top teams but he's so cheap so it's not like you'll have an expensive player on the bench if you do bench him.

    I think Groß is a season keeper just for his importance for Brighton and his value.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He is this season's Siggy. He should should get 150pts easy

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

      This!

      Check his stats from last season. It's no fluke...

  7. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Gross 16% ownership. OMG!!!

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

      its only 7 points. not like he scored double digits

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

        7 points is a lot. That's 25% of my current score.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        7 points in a low scoring gw is massive

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

          in h2h situations yeah sure but overall as we can see from the increase in averages it really doesn't make much difference

          1. Ghost Gooner
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            You not seeing the bigger pic. He's a 5.5 player ticking along and integral to his sides attack. He will get 150pts easy

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

              errr i never said he was a bad pick. in fact he is the bets pick under 6m

              just syaing 7 points doesn't warrant an "ÖMG!!"Panic like bus driver above

      3. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Considering cost, more than 5 points on average during 10GW is pretty good. Not something to complain about 😉

      4. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        7 points for a player only worth 5.8m is exactly what I want from him. I'm not expecting sanchez type numbers from him.

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

          what are u guys on about? when did i call him a bad, or even average pick?

          1. Fanta sea
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Didn't say you did. I merely talked about my expectations form a player that is only 5.8m. I personally find 7 points to be quite good. When you said "only 7 points" it led me to believe that your expectations for him is higher. Then when you said "not like he scored double digits", it confirmed my hypothesis that you in fact expect him to be hitting double figures.

            I thought this was a conversation about what his expectations are in fantasy as opposed to whether he's a good or bad pick.

    2. el polako

      Wonder what Net % is ?

    3. Squashed
      • 9 Years

      He is the siggy in bha like last season swansea. Anytime bha scores he is involved.

    Let's see what Vardy(c) can do now

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I should feel confident because you've captained him too.

      But you shouldn't feel confident because I've captained him too.

      I think that how this works.

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      2pts

  9. Moves like Dejagah

    Does anyone know why Keane not in the 16?

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years

    Hopefully Gross loses his boners.

      Really hoping for a haul from Vardy this afternoon....and Joselu, too much to ask ?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years

        Yes

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Jokes apart, he has a decent record vs Everton. Could be a Vardy Party this afternoon.

              • 9 Years

              Was tempted to give him the arm band today, I'd change it from Salah now if I could 🙂

      2. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Hoping it's not a dull Monday night match between Burnley and Newcastle, like Leicester V WB !

        1. Coot
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Hoping it's a boring no score draw

        Vardy hat trick incoming

        1. VFORVANDETA

      o/ woohoo turn it up

    4. Squashed

      Its a do or die week for him. Another 2 pointer hes a gonner from my team...

    5. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Need many points from Vardy today!

  12. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    46 pts with lascelles and ward to go. Good chance of a 0-0 lads? It would get me to a respectable 58pts if that could happen

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

      Hoping for a 0-0 too, but I just know that it won't.

    2. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      58 points is way more than just respectable this GW

      1. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Really? People on here have been saying they're on 60+...some even with players left to play. I think the average will be somewhere in the 50s.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I want to meet those people.

          1. Coot
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Me! For once

          You normally hear from those doing well.

        3. grumpyman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          The overall average is 37. Will probably finish low 40s.

          1. Fanta sea
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            fair enough then. I'm happy with whatever score for this game then.

        4. Coot
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Still respectable given the amount of low scores

  13. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Vardy, need you to deliver more than ever!

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Wooord. My GW is a complete disaster. Jones only one with returns so far

  14. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Why can't Everton just drop Rooney? They spent 50m on Sigurdsson to bench him?

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

      They dropped Rooney once, they do better with him in the side.

  15. ZakAFC_

    Over to you Jamie Vardy...

  18. thomashl

    This might seem reactive, but:
    Choupo to gross? Or upgrade all the way to Ramsey?

    max £4.5

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      Wimmer for equal price?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

        hmmm could do cheers

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      Oh wait, Chilwell might be pretty good if he get starts

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't get Wimmer

      The straight swaps are many...Dunk, Mee, Lowton, Tarkowski, Kiko

      I'd actually look at Moreno/Gomez personally

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        One of the Bournemouth boys too now that Chelsea is over.

        Francis is 4.4m...Charlie Daniels 4.9m is a favourite on here

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

        Listen to Business Cat - it's a savvy business call.

        Wimmer isn't 100% nailed and only started yesterday due to Cameron having a head injury in training this week. I had him for a few weeks (and of course the week I rid of him, he returns), and was awful.

        Stoke fans do not seem to rate him yet. He's not a dead-set starter every week and the players listed above are more solid picks.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I had Wimmer til recently...when I needed him to come off the bench he didn't play! Replaced by Cameron when Shawcross came back.

          Steer clear of Wimmer 🙂

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

            When I needed him off the bench, he played... but got 0 anyway!

    4. Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say buy Gomez for Liverpool. Yes I know Liverpool have a poor defence but they have nice fixtures and he's 4.5m

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

        Yes highly recommend.

    5. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Gomez/Moreno/Wimmer/Burnley ?

  25. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Demariai Gray playing in behind Vardy.

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

    Gross or Richarlison?

    That's the question 🙂

      Not a question if you own both.

        😉

    2. Jimmers

      Gross the more consistent.

      Richarlison can't miss open chances week after week right?

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

        You may have right 🙂

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Bet I would have been cheaper than Rangel in FPL, in that case.

      • 9 Years

      Both if you can

    Davies worth getting back in?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      4 fullbacks fighting for 2 spots, umm NO.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, I’m planning on getting rid on GW12 WC.

      Hopefully he can give me a farewell gift by starting v Palace.

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's worth to have a Tottenham defender.

    4. Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth it with that rotation risk.

  28. Old Wulfrunian

    Antonio's owners(0.5%!) what we should do with him?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sell if you have nothing else to fix..

  29. Dreams

    Groß! What a pick. The gifts keep on coming.
