Gameweek 12 comes to its conclusion at the Amex Stadium this evening as Brighton entertain Stoke at 8pm.

For the hosts, Pascal Gross has been the standout asset in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Sitting in over 19% of FPL squads, the playmaker has averaged 7.2 points per match (ppm) in front of his own fans – when on the pitch, he’s played a part in 83% of their home goals.

Four strikes in the Seagulls’ last three league outings have brought Glenn Murray (5.8) onto our radars as a potential budget frontman – over 112,000 acquired him for Gameweek 12.

Up against a defence that has conceded at least twice in six of their last eight, Murray is the most captained player for tonight’s encounter, handed the armband by 6,868 managers compared with Gross’ 3,904 backers.

The Potters’ two most popular players, Eric Choupo-Moting (5.8%) and Xherdan Shaqiri (5.3%), have struggled on their travels, with just an away assist between them (for the latter) in five road trips.

Yet the duo’s home form means that, overall, they’ve still averaged a decent 4.0 and 4.5 ppm respectively this season. And clashes with Palace and Swansea in the next three could warrant further attention for the midfield pair.

Brighton, though, have been fairly resilient at home – league leaders Manchester City, in a 2-0 win in Gameweek 1, are the only side to have scored more than one goal away to Chris Hughton’s men.

    • arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is it worth to do: Tarroll > Cork?

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nah

        1. arndff_
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Will Tarroll play in next matches?

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Waiting to see on this myself. Give it another game. Swansea were poor without him

        no both will get you 2 points each week, save the transfer

      3. ljuta zena
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on next game. If he would been benched than trade him

    • lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How don't you give a penalty for that ? Blind referee

    • Mika-eel
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That looked a clear pen in real time. How did it end up a free kick to Stoke?

      1. DJDave1979
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Handball.

        1. DJDave1979
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Of course, he grabbed the ball thinking only a blind referee wouldn't award the pen. But the old 'play to the whistle' thing means handball ended up given.

          The bizarre thing is the original corner call. You wonder what on earth Mason was looking at.

        handball 😀 clear pen though

      Hi guys, just trying to decide whether to...

      A) Firmino to Wilson / Benteke

      B) Firmino and Chalobah to Niasse and Pogba / Sane
