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

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He is injured, after all

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

          I wouldn't have put it past him to have a personal issue with Fake Pelle.

  6. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

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

      For free not a hit

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

      Meh, can't argue with that. Doucoure is this seasons capoue...unsustainable output

  9. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Murray needs to do nothing for Groß to nab 2 baps

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Shouldn't be difficult.

      1. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years

        savage

  10. Scout Pics

    Gross on 2nd bps?

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

      No way

      For one assist ??

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

        Created loads of chances

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

        He is a baps machine

    2. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Did you watch the game?

      Got MoTM on sky sports, he's just a class player for Brighton

  12. badgerboy

    Good to see Aaron Lennon getting game time again after a nasty personal period for him.

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

      Great news. Props for Everton for giving him the opportunity, too.

      Also highlights how big mental health can 8mpaft your ability to play. To still be able to get in the team, he must be still physically strong - just the mind held him back.

  13. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Monreal to Moreno? Yes or No
    I could do with the extra cash to bring Kane back soon and i have 2FT with no other pressing issues, horrible next 2 for Monreal aswel....

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

      sideways move. Better choices elsewhere.

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Any suggestions? Got Azpi, Cedric, Mee already

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

        I disagree actually. That's a great move if you ask me

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

    Bloody hell ML rival has Gross

  15. Cookie Kid
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Glenn Murray essential?

  16. Differential C (Mark)

  17. Sánchez

    Can Groß hold these baps... come on...

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

      He loves holding 2 baps

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

      Come on.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Better to hold on to baps like Gross than complain about balls like Pep.

  19. KEN YA DIG IT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Cedric,get out of my team

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

      Burnley at home next week though.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sold him last night

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

    Is Gross the most annoying player this season? This must be how non-Jones owners feel about Jones.

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

      Not if you have him.

      Surely Foster (and WBA) is more annoying.

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

      Easily

      He sneezes he gets a bap.

      An FPL towers fav

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

      Only for us non owners.

      Its not like I'm stubborn. Anyway have plenty of candidates to upgrade/downgrade to Gross if needs be...

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

      Bring him in then!

      Great player, no reason why he won't keep up the output

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

    Bong booked

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

      Hits from the Bong

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

    Bong YC, took out Long cynically

  23. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Courtious is 5.4 mil and the other Chelsea defenders are over 6. Think I'm going to get him as a fire and release keeper and not worry about the position the rest of the season.

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

      Why not DDG?

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

      0.2 more for DDG? Even more defensive & more saves & baps

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Get De Gea instead.

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

      Elliot CS tomorrow will put him level on pts with Courtois at 3 price brackets below.

      1. Reed_Rothchild
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I have Phil Jones and need Chelsea def cover

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

          As a che def owner you don't need any cover

      2. Reed_Rothchild
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Have him as my cheap keeprer

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      DDG unless Kante is back

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

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

      He was part of my 16 point hit & just about going to break even from it, if Ritchie & Brady be quiet tomorrow

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

        16 point hit. Takes a lot of luck to break even on one of those. They’re bound to hurt. GL!

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

      Just save my Gw. 😎

    Off topic here. Came across some vids of the comedian Dave Allen last night by chance. Had never heard of him prior. What a funny, brilliant man.

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

      Yeah, he was brilliant.
      Always had glass of whisky, oh and his missing finger.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Yep, imagine a tv comedian today with a fag in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other 😀

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  29. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    FT! 1-1 draw!

  30. GreenArrows
