Another year another Gameweek.

We take a trip to the seaside for the opening Premier League match of 2018, easing ourselves back into Fantasy Football action with a clash between Brighton and Bournemouth.

Our interest in this match-up is somewhat limited, with a clean sheet likely to be the desired end result for many managers.

The Seagulls have impressed of late with their resilience, recording a shut-out in three of their last four Gameweek outings.

Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk are the key figures in their back four – they are owned by 3.5% and 3.4% ahead of today’s contest.

Pascal Gross remains their most popular asset. The German is still part of 17.7% of squads and hinted at a revival in his Fantasy output with a goal in Gameweek 19 which ended a run of six matches without a return.

Bournemouth go into today’s contest off the back of a win over Everton but without injured key men Josh King and Ryan Fraser, while Nathan Ake is rested to the bench.

Fantasy interest in the Cherries is limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned asset as part of 6.7% of squads. He has lost over 336,000 owners since Gameweek 16.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Smith assist

    What a goal! Bournemouth have some real quality when it all clicks.

    What a world class goal from Wilson 😉

  4. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What a goal

  5. The Big Fella

    Lingard or Willian in for Son?

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

      Not Willian. Not nailed. Lingard out of the two, but there may be better options.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Any recommendations in that price range?

    2. BananaNose Maldonado

      Why take Son out? He still has EVE and sou coming up. Ditch after that.

    Murray 2nd in my bench 🙁

  7. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years

    Someone in my ML sold Salah for Coutinho lolol

  8. Differentiator

    Duffy 1 pointer!

    -3 from 1 😎

    That must be goal of the year, without a doubt

    What a way for Dunk to lose me another point, really glad I went for him over Jones on free hit

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

    Thought the Wilson wagon was bad but Depoitre is taking it to the next level!

    1. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, for his 2 owners.

  12. Syd.

    I have ONE player today 😎

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

      1 starter from a possible 7 today. Huge rank loss for me.

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

        That’s tough.

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      me too and he's not even playing

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Mee and Yedlin for me. Both of whom are on the bench.

    Propper WWE style

  14. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Should have done Coutinho > Mahrez for a hit. Ah well =)

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    You know it's crazy when don't nobody care about the goal and all the posts are about the lineups

  16. The real slim shady
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    That I used FH feels quite good atm.
    Salah injured, firm benched, Cout in Barca.
    Silva gone, RLC injured.

    Now I need goals from Spurs and West ham!!

  17. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Well, Salah out for a hit then back in for a hit doesn't feel quite so drunken now (although still a bit) - just need a Kun 8 pointer!

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You'll get 17.

  18. sozopol
    • 14 Years

    Wonder what is the chance Firmino comes off the bench today

    1. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      pretty high as liverpool won't score

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

      high

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      depends on scoreline

    4. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think he'll play at some point. Can't see Burnley rolling over and letting Liverpool run away with it.

  19. KJT123

    Looks like the end of the road for Long 🙁

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He only came in due Mee's injury then Tarkys suspension.

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years

    Salah and Chilwell, Firmino and Depoitre benched, means I could only have 9 starting players this week. 🙁

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

    Christensen in for salah and dcl to come in if firmino doesn't play

    Could be worse

    1. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Could also be better, Christensen and DCL both might not play.

  28. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Callum Wilson is carrying my draft team

    1. pedro-tacuara
      • 10 Years

  29. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

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

      I wouldn't wish an injury - maybe he gets some really good news and has to leave the field 🙂
