The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 1.30pm as Brighton and Hove Albion welcome Arsenal to the Amex Stadium.
Chris Hughton’s men arguably merit the tag of favourites today.
Unbeaten in their last four league matches, the Seagulls scored nine times over Gameweek 25-28 – only Man City (12) and Liverpool (11) found the net more often.
Our Spot the Differential pick Glenn Murray notched four of those strikes, while Pascal Gross (one goal, two assists) and Jose Izquierdo (two goals and an assist) have also been crucial to their recent output.
Up against a Gunners’ defence that conceded 16 big chances in that period – at least five more than any side – Murray was drafted in by over 70,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers for Gameweek 29.
Meanwhile, over 39,000 acquired Gross, who has played a part in 53% of the Seagulls’ home goals and goes in search of a fifth double-digit haul in front of his own fans.
But in terms of armband appeal, both Murray (3,465) and Gross (2,144) are well behind the Gunners’ Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang as the most captained player for today’s early encounter. Over 34,000 have opted for the winter signing, who has one goal in three league outings since arriving from Borussia Dortmund.
Elsewhere for the Gunners, it’s disappointment for the 34,000+ who drafted in Aaron Ramsey for this one – having recently returned from injury, the Welshman is rested altogether, with Arsene Wenger perhaps having one eye on the midweek Europa League clash with AC Milan.
