We continue our series of Monitor members’ articles on Gameweek 34 targets by assessing Brighton and Hove Albion schemer, Pascal Gross.

Although Mohamed Salah has redefined the term “successful debut season”, the German’s rookie campaign deserves its share of recognition.

Following a summer arrival from FC Ingolstadt, Gross has proven himself a standout candidate among budget midfield options. The playmaker has quickly earned a reputation as a premium creative force at the Premier League level, racking up some of the most impressive creativity metrics of any player.

Moreover, with two Double Gameweeks – one confirmed for Gameweek 34, and the latter expected to fall in or around Gameweek 37 – still to come this season, Gross is set to remain at the forefront of plans, with or without the Wildcard at our disposal.

      When do you want to replace arnie? This gw or 34?

        Gw33 v Chelski

      I think he is a good differential against southampton

    Surprised more on here haven't planned to have the Kane & Kaku double up for the run in

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Let's be honest, apart from GW34 and 37, we will all captain Salah every week. No need to have both.

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Kane will come in for most, agreed on the double up

    WC draft:

    DDG/Ryan
    Alonso/Lowton/Monreal/Morgan/Robertson
    Mahrez/Milivojevic/Salah/Son/Willian
    Aubameyang/Vardy/Wood

    Any thoughts?

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    The main man Pascal for the next 3 GWs (will be sold to fund Kane in 36) or Mustafi for the next two and Vert from GW34 on?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve gone Mustafi, Arsenal’s form at home is much better then some realise. Mustafi and Miki will go at the expense of Gross for me then as well as Mustafi.

  12. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I’ve done the comparisons and really can’t split them.

    Dunk or Duffy?

    Is it just down to picking the fella with the least own goals?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Dunk - edges a few key stats and you save 0.1m which could come in handy down the line for GW37 buys.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeh I was edging towards with him.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      go for the cheapest

    3. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      As a dunk owner..the own goals hurt

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I’ve found it hilarious in a kind of schadenfreuda kind of way, hoping that trend stops!

  13. FPL Virgin

    What are people who haven't wildcarded meant to do on ffs then?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Rate the WC draft?

    2. asquishypotato

      • 12 Years

      Give positive feedback

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Even if I think wildcarding in 32 is a big mistake?

        1. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I think you’ve made that pretty clear.

          There is no right or wrong way to play this game, I thought the triple captain Salah last week was ridiculous and you advocated it.

          I think this week was absolutely the right time to wildcard personally (for those with all chips intact)

        2. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Even if you disagree with the decisions others make its nice to help people get the best out of the situation they are in.

    Hi, any prediction about Son and Gross output in gw 32 to 34?
    Must choose between Son and Gross.
    If choose Gross I can keep Alonso.
    Ta.

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve got both.

      The London derby should be a good one, and good fixtures after that for Son.

      It comes down to what you can do with the extra cash. Eg if that’s the difference between Alonso and Christensen.

      Any other defender possible in A?

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years

        up to 4.3

  18. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Gross looks like a shoe in for those bench boosting, can’t think of much better value out there.

    Aub and Miki out for Lukaku and Gross for me.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Why so excited for: TOT, bur, MUN, mci, liv.
      2 doubles, yes, but you would expect Brighton to be shut out in all of those games.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I didn’t say I’d keep him after, he’s a one week addition for a team that needs to get points on he board before the horror run in begins. Potential to get returns more so then anyone under 7 million I would say.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          From the first double, sure, but are you really going to then waste a transfer taking him out?

          1. asquishypotato
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Absolutely, taking him out for an Andy king character frees up a good 2 million for upgrading a forward to Kane.

            1. Postman Ty
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Fair enough, all depends on your entire plan and chips available.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Feels like waste of 6m 😮

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Think that’s great value for a nailed on player who is the main man in a team.

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

      Groß until 35 then getting shipped for a city mid

    4. Cityzen Kane
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      but MCI in one of the games, may render him to one game +2pts. Week 34 is awful for reliable bench players

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        But home form for one of the doubles and also Crystal Palace is a good set for a double. How else is the budget going to be used?

        Don’t feel dropping down to a Burnley mid or Kennedy’s awful fixtures will help that much.

        1. Cityzen Kane
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah CPL a great fixture. But can't see Brighton fixtures as a double when the other team is city. They will dominate possession and starve Gross of chances. Also palace an away game. I'd be happier if it was the reverse

  19. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is Dummett nailed first choice left back?

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

      Yes.

    2. Cityzen Kane

    Walcott Shaqiri Eriksen Salah

    Elliot VLP Ake Schindler

    2.2m ITB, with no WC or FH chips left how does this sound?

    32 - Eriksen & Kane > Sanchez & Aubamayang for -4
    33 - Firmino > Vardy
    34 - Baines & Aubamayang > Smalling & Lukaku (TC) for -4

      its going to sound crazy but if getting kane back I'll wait to 37 double, just don't trust him to get back and into form in time for games any sooner.
      If its the case I plan to sell salah to city mid to fund it,
      and I've a plan to get salah back for 38 by downgrading a mid after the doubles

  22. Pie-o-My

    WC this week

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Bavis Morgan Tarkowski Stephens
    Son Salah DSilva mahrez Groß
    Vardy Auba Barnes

    Hold silva and aubu until 34 when they'll become willian and lukaku

    Fh 35

    Groß and lukaku go to bring in kane for 37 tc all being well with injures. Will also get in a city mid.

    Template for here but almost nobody in my mini leagues have a fh left and less than half with a wc id estimate. Expecting plenty green until the end of the season.

      I have gone A, partly as i think Murray may be rotation risk

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

      Gone A

    3. FPL Blow-In

      Coin toss really

        Barnes and murray have wood and locadia for competition

        But gros better than gudm...

        So maybe A

      Have you considered gudmunson and Barnes? Giving you extra player for 35 rather than Burnley double up in defence? I can’t see any clean sheets over 34 IMO

    Sanchez or Aubamayang (c) this week?

    1. Holmes

      Mayang

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Stick with Salah

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

      Salah, if not possible then Auba.

    Need to decide on who I want in my wildcard for gw32 and gw33 out of .....

    A...lukaku

    B...vardy (already have mahrez)

    The one I don't get will come into my team for dgw 34

    Thanks

      Probably Vardy for the next 2

  29. pablo discobar

    I have no wildcard left, so I'm going TC 34, FH 35, BB 37

    Current team

    GK DDG, Coleman,
    DEF Morgan, Christansen, Van Dick, Francis, Fernandez
    MID Mahrez, Eriksson, Salah, Will I an, Stainless,
    FWD Kaku, Auba, Firminio

    Plan is

    GW 33 , Firmino to Mahrez, Van Dick to Vert
    GW 34, Auba to Kane, Stainslas to King
    GW 35 Free hit
    GW 36 -4
    GW 37 -4

    Will give 14 and Salah for BB 37

    Think that works best for me.

    Trip captain in 34 will be Mahrez or Lukaku

      GW 34 should say firmino to vardy!

                  7 years, 11 months ago

    This lot good enough for gw34? Not using bench boost.

    Ryan
    Vvd Maguire Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian
    Lukaku Firmino Barnes

    Adrian Sane Schindler Francis

    Cheers all
