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.

  6. fiveyears

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

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

    GW11, thinking Cédric >> Jones with my FT. Got the exact money! Will stiffen up my defence. Good move?

    Fabianski
    Otamendi • Cédric • Duffy • Yedlin
    Salah(vc) • E. Hazard • Richarlison
    Kane(C) • Aguero • Vardy

    (Elliot / TC / Ward / RLC)

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

      Yep looks good

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

      Better do it before Cedric drops, but after Jones gets injured mid week 😉

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

        Yeah I think Jones will rise this week and Cedric fall so get to do it at the right time! Friday would be best like haha 🙂

    Gross really needs to score a goal

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

      Yes.It's about time.

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

    No Okazaki.... 🙁
    Pooel still hates exciting football then...

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

      can't believe Okazaki is back on bench again after scoring last week.

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

        Not only that, but he was there best player bar Mahrez...
        Fuming...!

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

      Gray and Chilwell down the flanks and Mahrez behind Vardy seems pacey and attacking.

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

        I agree with Gray getting some involvement but, Okazaki would pose more threat imo..

  10. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Puel gone to 4-2-3-1 for Lei then?

    Could give some options in the 3 if so. Chilwell a def playing mf @ 4.3!

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like 4-3-3 as well

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        It was Diamond or 4-2-3-1 he played if i remember correctly from Southampton. Either way more options available.

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

      Worth monitoring for sure

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly 4 -4-1-1
      Mahrez off Vardy.

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        That puts Chilwell LM?? Nice if either option happens.

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

          Chilwell as oop at 4.3m would be most helpful.
          Mahrez if in No10 becomes very attractive option. Time will tell.

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    That was a foul Ref... open your eyes

  12. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Duffy Yellow

  13. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Elliot or Fabianski next week?

    Both got nice home fixtures

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

      At least let the gw finish Scotty before your rampant question time begins lol.

      P.s I'm going fabs over Elliot

  14. XabiAlonso

  15. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Duffy takes out Gabbi, SOU get a free kick on the left of BHA goal

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Duffy in the book

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

      Back to sub-30 pre-BPS for me...

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

    Gylfi benched, Llorente not starting even when Kane is injured - they were supported like god’s at Swansea and first on the team sheet - is it all really just about money ?

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

      Ask Ox

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Or they aren't as good as they think and had found the right team should have stayed there

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I feel for gylfi. The two teams he left swansea for were really bad moves. Hope he goes back again!

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

        Should have went to Liverpool a few years back but wanted more money would have fitted in well back then

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

      You can't expect to start games at any club. Llorente wasn't even a starter for the beginning of last season. They wanted to take a step up, and in Llorente's case he wanted to play for trophies and in CL.

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

        Llorente played 90 minutes each game in the first 6 games ?

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

          And somehow he still only started half of the first 14 matches. Bastón was a late signing.

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

            He started 9 of the first 14, didn’t make the squad in 3 and I recall it was due to some bereavement leave?

            Remember Bob Bradley came in for a floundering Guidolin and the team selection was in turmoil ... and a record signing striker in the bench who could not dislodge Llorente

            Llorente expected to start at Swansea and imv he pretty much did - not sure what your issue is really ?

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente should be excused at his age a good paycheck is #1.

      Gylfi though, with a world cup next summer...... not great, but at least he tries to become a better footballer and evolve by going to a 'bigger club'(well, might turn out to be a 'bigger clubs' downfall)

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

        I have no real issue with Llorente - been there seen it all etc and fancied a year in PL, proved himself and fancied a year in London with a bit of CL bench action - but he must be a bit miffed at not starting as the only real choice at striker with Kane injured

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Aye, he should be but I'm not so sure he isn't first choice if Kane out. I think it comes down to Spurs being away at OT(me not knowing if there have been any other games with Kane out) and Poch wanting another type of player in that tough game.

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

          He started against Real Madrid and still got subbed on fairly early against Man Utd.

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

            Yes true, so maybe he is getting h his chance

  29. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Odd substitution to take off Gross, best player on the pitch.

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

      As long as there's no more goals he should get baps

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Thought the same. And he's still running.

    Groß up to 2 baps! HODOR!!
