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.

    Damn should have just gone for Alonso over Duffy now in hindsight

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You benched Alonso? Oh boy.

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No was on FH and opted for Duffy

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Ah I see.

    2. Team Cruel

      You played a Brighton defender over ....... Alonso?!

    3. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      In hindsight I should've transferred in Cook and Knockeart

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Haha yeah.. but I could afford any defender and of Brighton ain't keeping clean sheet might as well gone for the most attacking defender in the game

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think you made the right move to be honest out of the 2

    Kane doesn't play till tomorrow night, good chance of recovery me thinks.

    I mean I've tc'd him so he better start...

        3 days old speculations from a newspaper

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years

          Quoted poch

      7. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Poor attempt

  3. BON
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ville and Jay didn't use their TC. I'm gonna laugh so hard when Kane punishes them.

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Them two plus Mark didn't.. do they know something we don't?

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        They always know

      2. BON
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I don't care about Mark though.

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Kane just sneezed. I repeat Kane just sneezed.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He is still in bed too

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante

      Been sniffing lemsips all weekend.

  5. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Has there been any news/rumour/spot on on Kane?

    I just found out almost all my ML rivals (TC)-ed hin, while I just (C)-ed...

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He just sneezed apparently.

      1. BON
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Idiot.

  6. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which player blanking would make you la ugh so hard?

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not laugh, but Aguero blank would be welcome.

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Reminiscent to Morata's blank to Stoke 😀

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane, didn’t bring him in!

      Miss first game, YC in second for a 3 pt TC!

    4. La Galatica
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A blank means zero.

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        * zero attacking returns

    5. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm all laughed out at my 6 attacking misses last week

  7. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Free hit is good don't want that spurs chaff after this week

  8. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Am I the only one who took the plunge on Kun? Watford at home and those tasty fixtures coming up.

    1. Kuneshwar
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Meeeee

      1. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh got him starting too

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      got him in for a hit.
      Already got a hat-trick against Watford this season and 20pts against them this season.

      1. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Surprised more didn't. Defo worth the punt with his history, Jesus injury and City fixtures. Hopefully we're ahead of the curve

        1. Kermit Special
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Would have done it for free, but for a hit, I wasn't convinced.

    3. doy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Slipped him in for Firms...hope he rips another hole in Watford 🙂

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    With all the Kane TC's flying about this GW, I reckon I'd accept a Kane (c) fail.

    Strange old game this.....

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Only 9.5% wan't it? No big deal.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        H2H reasons 😉

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yup as a Kane capper I want him to miss two pens and get sent off. Punish all the filthy triple cappers.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Mad - you want him to score 4 goals min!

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Mainly casuals......

    3. slamdunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No one in my ml has tc captained him..just captain so happy days.if 2nd place did tc him i would still be leading so I saved it.

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Ryan save point

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Go Ryan.

  11. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Save point for Ryan. 😀

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well done sponge

      1. Sponge-worthy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, almost like I saved those three shots.

    2. La Galatica
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A save or a penalty save?

      1. Sponge-worthy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just three saves.

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What's the EO of Harry Kane this week?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      140%

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Less than I thought.

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      top 10K 146.5%, overall 66.9%

  13. BERGKOP
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not sure why so many BRI players made this weeks scout squad.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Izquierdo wastes a Grobber assist

  15. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Brilliant save to deny Gross assist. Another big chance created though

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's a fab player. Never had him yet.

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What a pass from GroB. Shame about the finish

  17. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    FFS Gross is gonna blank isnt he ? Useless teammates

  18. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gross is just going to stroll his way to 3 baps with no attacking returns

    1. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He would deserve it, very unlucky not to have an assist.

  19. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is there a better time to use freehit?

    Team was fine this week.. So opted against using.Many rivals did use.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      GW31 also very good time to use

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      i quite fancy 2nd big DGW. Should be an easy way to get 11 DGWers without having to compromise on WC for 1st DGW
      WC for 1st big DGW with bench boost.

    3. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If I was to use freehit this week, I’d replace guaranteed points with other guaranteed points.

      I rather use freehit to replace no points with guaranteed points.

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is the "My Team" screen all screwed up for anyone else? Showing wrong fixtures under all players

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Clear your cache?

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Morata 2 matches. Couldn't ask for more.

  21. MindlessFreak2
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    TC is on Son 🙂 Could be a masterstroke or the start of a death spiral...

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    C'mon BHA, get some more corners and get Duffy in the box...geez!!

  23. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who is the definitive best 7th attacker? Groß or Richarlison?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Alonso.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Oh even better shout! Slightly more expensive though

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jesse

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Arnie over richarlison

      Gross cheaper so tough between him and Arnie

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think that very link crashed the website around deadline time, was flying about all over the shop....

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How many FH's and TC's were played this GW, and how many TC's were on Kane?

    Liverpool taking Barca to court

    Coutinho going nowhere

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years

      To court?

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      😮

      Coutinho teddy out the cot?

    3. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Barca or Nike? It was their blunder.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Should be Nike and it should be Barce taking them to court?

      Pot-Kettle-Black.
      VVD. Unsettled him then signed him 1 window later albeit with a slap on the wrist for misbehaving last summer window.

      It's all rubbish anyway. Clubs speaking to players/family/reps all the time.
      Anyone honestly believe there haven't been conversations between people associated with Sanchez and his future without Arsenal's permission.
      Hazard turns down new contract at Chelsea. Clubs aren't inquiring what he might be after?

  26. thunder_mike

    Forgot to TC Kane 🙁

  27. Jekori

    Half Time Quiz: Which new to the PL player, bought last summer, hasn't missed a minute of gametime this season?

    1. Matamatics
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Matty Ryan? Or is this outfield players only?

      1. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You were right, making a quiz isn't that straight forwards i guess. But a gk isn't that remarkable tbf, so i didn't include them. Need to be more precise next time

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Matt Ryan 😉

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Zanka?

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ederson?

    5. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Propper Ryan

      1. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Propper is the one I was looking for! Well done team cruel, but Netley Lucas was quicker with another good answer so fair play to both, you really are into fantasy football.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          The only reason I knew was that I wanted the most nailed hud def and he had played every minute and I remember he came in in the summer 😆

          1. Jekori
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Haha, like i said. You really are into fantasy football. Fun fact, the both have played for PSV previously! Only reason i stumbled across the fact that propper has played all minutes this season. I'm a PSV-fan and he was one of our best players last season.

        2. HashAttack
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          just know where to look for Minutes Played under FPL stats

          1. Jekori
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, in combination with bought in the summer and new to the PL. But more fun if you think of it on your own. I remember a quiz about the most owned defender a month or so ago. You can just look it up, but it was fun to see all the guesses and it turned out to be hegazi because of all the ghost-teams

    6. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years

      Duffy

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Had a 1 game ban.

    7. Jekori
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hah, so there are more than 1. Ederson has missed a half due to injury. Zanka has played all, but i was looking for a midfielder

      1. doy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Propper

    8. Rash
      • 9 Years

      Mooy

      1. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Missed a couple minutes vs arsenal. Propper was the one

  28. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil and Kane have aussie flu apparently.
