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

    If I can stumble to 50 points with Elliot to play I will be sort of satisfied - lots struggling this week I know but 50 isn’t great

    Pre-WC I'd have had 48 points with 2 players to go.

    However, post-WC I am on 32 with two to go. #FML

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years

      this game isn't kind!

    Prediction:

    Pellegrino to thump his chest in Boufal's face just as he is being subbed.

    Duffy miscuez his shot and it goes wide!

    Arsenal have two tough games. Ramsey for Gross and Jesus for Kun for following gw.

    Sounds like a plan right?

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

      Ramsey will grab a goal against that leaky City defence

  10. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Duffy alomost

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

    WTF is Duffy doing up there 😆

  12. Arn De Gothia

    Finally got rid of Cedric, what a dissapointment he has been 🙁

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Going to do the same for Jones! He’s GARBAGE

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He /they really are. good move imo

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's not the player, its the team. They played well right up to Davis' goal, it was really pedestrian after that

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Disagree! Think he’s terrible going forward and a poor defender too! Never gets near the BAPS! Basically unless they keep a cleanie he’s a 2 pointer for 5mil

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeaah 🙁

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  24. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
