Is it time to invest in defence of Season Ticker high-fliers Brighton?

Brighton and Hove Albion’s budget defensive options could attract some long-term Fantasy Premier League attention very soon.

The Seagulls recently recorded their first clean sheet of 2018/19 in Gameweek 8, which was well-timed with them ascending to second place for defence on our Season Ticker over the next 13 matches.

We’ve decided to look into the numbers to see if Chris Hughton’s men can be trusted with what, on the surface, looks like an extended run of favourable fixtures.

          If Salah is out then there is no one worth getting? I've watched alot of Liverpool and Mane isn't worth getting imo, he's looked invincible in most games and is lucky to have gotten the points he's gotten.

          Salah has still looked threatening and he'll be in my team for Sterling if fit.

      Not much worth a hit but Ozil is a slight issue, and ballsy capping Mane over Kun but could very well work out.

      If you were gonna take a hit, i'd leave KDB until he actually starts and see howhe is, Ings > Arnie is good.

      2 is just not good enough

      Fabianski will do the job, consistently getting saves pts and occasional CS hauls will help him ticking. Even during this rough spell, he has managed to score almost 4ppg.

    If Salah is out for a while, best replacement out of Sterling and Mane?

    Sterling has the better underlying stats for a better team that won’t be missing their best attacking player.

    Mane is cheaper, has better fixtures and is likely on pens with Milner out

        Too early for KDB imo. And I think Sterling will outscore him anyway. Have just enough for Salah -> Sterling this week and ASmith -> Robbo next week. Quite tempting that if Salah is out for a bit.

    WC latest draft

    Fabianski
    Alonso Robertson Doherty
    Hazard Maddison Richa Mane
    Aguero Lacazette Mitrovic

    Hamer Bennet AWB Stephens 0.0 itb

    Slowly i am settling into the final version. May be Laca to King/Arnie and Dave money for Mane upgrade (Salah /Sterling /KDB) would be the only change.

        What to do with Lacazette? He will keep the good run right? Fixtures are getting tougher

          He worries me too. Conversion rate ridiculous and won't keep it up I think

      Looking at identical side but I have Fab cover. Got away with Hennessy.
      I must have a bit more money as I have Fraser and Fab not Hamer and Stephens

        Nice.

        Yeah did not care much about team value. Lost on Stephens, King and did not get into early bandwagons (Mitro, Maddy, Kun)

          I got Kun due to danger factor and paid off. Went just as wromg though with Kane so it evens out.

    Patricio news: 13th Oct 2018

    https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/selecao/artigos/rui-patricio-dispensado-da-selecao-portugal-pode-apurar-se-para-as-meias-da-liga-das-nacoes-este-domingo

    My wife can speak Portuguese and this report speaks of Patricio being sent home due to 'physical complaints' and 'for precaution'.

    Maybe another Portuguese speaker with a better understanding of football can gain more from it.

      There was a discussion here earlier from someone speaking Portuguese. He said the same thing. So yeah, hoping for more news to come
