Glenn Murray (£6.4m) has been named on Brighton’s bench for their opening Double Gameweek 34 fixture.

He was captained by just over 100,000 Fantasy managers this week given that the Seagulls have two fixtures to play.

However, Chris Hughton has preferred to leave the veteran striker among the substitutes, selecting Florin Andone (£5.0m) to lead the line instead.

Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m) and Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) are the two options to flank the Romanian international.

All eyes will be on Shane Duffy (£4.8m) now that Son Heung-min (£8.8m) managed just an assist against Huddersfield.

The centre-back was the second-most captained player inside the top 10,000 managers for Double Gameweek 34 and he starts in Brighton’s back-line today.

Alongside Lewis Dunk (£4.4m), he is flanked by Bernardo (£4.2m) and Martin Montoya (£4.3m) in defence.

In central midfield, it’s Yves Bissouma (£4.6m), Davy Pröpper (£4.8m) and Dale Stephens (£4.3m).

Both of them currently yellow-flagged, there was no room in the matchday squad for Pascal Groß (£6.7m) or Solly March (£4.7m).

Bournemouth have named a strong first XI with Josh King (£6.6m), Callum Wilson (£6.6m), Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) and David Brooks (£5.1m) all in the starting XI.

Danny Ings (£5.4m) is back in the side for Southampton as they host Wolves today.

He missed the visit of Liverpool in Blank Gameweek 33 because he was ineligible to face his parent club.

With some Fantasy managers looking to the Saints for Double Gameweek 35 investment, they will be happy to see Nathan Redmond (£5.3m), James Ward-Prowse (£5.1m) and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.4m) in the starting line-up.

After recent tinkering, Nuno Espirito Santo has selected what appears to be his best XI.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) is paired with Diogo Jota (£6.2m) up front, while Matt Doherty (£5.3m) plays on the right of midfield.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Andone, Locadia.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; S Cook, Mepham, Aké; Fraser, Gosling, Lerma, Smith; Brooks, King; Wilson.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett; Gunnarsson, Arter; Hoilett, Camarasa, Murphy; Zohore.

Fulham XI: Rico; Bryan, Le Marchand, Ream, Fosu-Mensah; Cairney, Anguissa, Chambers; Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Babel.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Jagielka, Zouma, Coleman; Gueye, Gomes; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard; Valery, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Bertrand; Sims, Redmond; Ings.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

    I wonder what the effective ownership of Brighton defence is this week?

    1. chaser123

      I have Duffy and Ryan...maybe I don’t want clean sheets as others have Duffy(C), Dunk and Ryan!?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        200% will be similar to most I reckon don’t know tho

        You are fine with Duffy and Ryan. EO is 180%.

  2. SPorting
    • 14 Years

  3. pjomara

  4. FPL Pillars

    Come on Brighton. Begovic is awful, got to score at least 3 past him. Duffy 🙂

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Oh he got dropped, Bournemouth May keep a CS after all 😀

  5. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    4 players in the 3 O'clocks, 3 of them in the Brighton defence. Bring on the 0-0 draws.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Good luck, Duffy!

    You're an FPL legend no matter what happens now 😀

  7. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Let's go Duffy!

  8. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hudd now conceding 4 goals a game, time to always pick their opponents players

    1. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I think that's made up my mind when I'm playing my triple Captain. Just got to decide between Salah and Mane.

  9. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Son Capper here and Eriksen Vice - disappointed tbh but could have been way worse ...

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could have been much much worse. Will take it.

    2. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same happy with the 14 points in the end

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He needs to calm down.

  10. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lacazette or Jimenez next gw?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Both?

      Jimmy if one.

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

    Murray owner here 🙁

  12. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mark captained Murray, bless him

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He still has a game against Cardiff at home to go. Not the best choice but still may do well.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Feel sorry for him....and me! 🙁

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I don't think I've ever quadrupled up on a defence before. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    And I love it 😀

    1. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Callum Wilson on duty to ruin your weekend o/

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably. I'm not confident.

  14. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Dunk for the brace. Brighton to concede. Mark this tweet.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Post*. 😀

  15. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    wilson it's your turn

    1. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm with you. Let's ruin those Duffy captainers' weekends!

    2. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer a Nathan Ake goal

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Unlucky Mark (and I mean that sincerely, not as a wind-up)

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He has a double. Most captained Son got 4 points only.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He now needs a goal or assist to salvage it though. And no guarantee that Murray will start the next game. Locadia never plays (Andone usually does). So I can easily see Murray being benched again midweek.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Has a very good chance of starting next gw, imo. Andone just back from injury.

  17. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    With Son © done, feels relaxed now & i can enjoy the inevitable 😛

    Bournemouth just do it 😀

    1. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      😉

    2. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wilson goal would make my weekend 🙂

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Really depends on whether the players are up for it. Howe sticking with a similar team and they have been poor.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah

  18. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    The right choice was Montoya, wasn't it?

  19. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy to match Moura's haul?

    1. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I really want more than that tbh

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Tough. I will be delighted with a brace.

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lets go Shane. Do us proud.

  21. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lucas Moura only 5.7% owned thankfully!

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Obligatory "aargh was so close to bringing him in, he was in one of my drafts" post.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bringing him in needed balls, let alone captaining him. If you have him enjoy his hatrick.

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

  22. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    whats the latest on Mane?

  23. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Should have had got Lucas. Went Tony Martial instead

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hindsight comment

      Martial was in my thoughts and high up my watchlist but opted for Eriksen instead.
      Moura and Llorente were great (risky) shouts because Alli and Kane but it was Lloris, Eriksen and Son for me.

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Wilson!

  25. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    D(C)L your time is now!

  26. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan Fraser RWB!

  27. EMBOLOFAN
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

  28. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone at a game awaiting a 3pm kickoff?
