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.

    My only DGW player is Etheridge.
    I figured his chances of a penalty save were roughly the same as the chances of Brighton keeping a CS in either of their 2 matches.

    Nailed it so far. 😆

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years

      have you?

      1. FlockofSeagulls

        Bless you. 🙂

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

          thought not

          1. FlockofSeagulls
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Doubt you think much at all.:lol:

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

    Still have a max of 32 points from Brighton D if they keep a cleanie against Cardiff - Otherwise 16 - still 5.3 point per defender. Not the best but not terrible.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Start counting down the luck? 😉

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

      exactly

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

    Duffy is due a goal, right?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely 100%

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes but they didn't say whether it would be in the opposition or his own net

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No, Dunk is. Duffy scored enough

    4. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      dueffy

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Danny Ings first on bench. That's annoying.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who would you have benched if not him ?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Wilson or Richarlison.

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

    Wolves A
    Spurs A
    Next for brighton.

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

      Cardiff - Wolves - Spurs

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Isnt Cardiff H next for Brighton?

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

        I mean next gw

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nah Cardiff(h)

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      this is why I only got 2 (Duff and Dunk)

      will get rid of Dunk for next week

    5. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't look good for gw35

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

      Thats what transfers are for.

      Those who took hits for them though...

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

        THIS

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

      I wonder what are those with triple brighton defence doing if they are going to use BB

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

        Transfer 1 out

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

      Yea if I was wildcarding wouldn’t have put in two or more Brighton. Be lucky to get 2 of him next week. Might consider transferring him out for Watford or wolves defender

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

        Yeah, because Watford and Wolves defence is much better at keeping clean sheets.

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

      Duffy goal incoming

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

      cardiff actually

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If you have triple Brighton defence, use TC in GW35 instead

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

      Nah

  7. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Richarlison yc

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

      Obligatory

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

    Duffy(c) is failing badly now. Needs a goal or assist to make sure Son(c) don't have the last laugh

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      lol who cares Son got 4 points

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

      youre aware he has two games? and son has 4 points?

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

      Worst case scenario son barely outscores Duffy

    4. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doubt anyone with a 4 point captain is laughing.

    5. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Son had 4 points. Duffy will match son even if they concede against Cardiff, but k

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

        not if they concede more than two goals each game?

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

          They could also outscore son by 6+ if they keep a clean sheet.

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

            thats the only way left now lol

  9. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lets go Redmond, hatty incoming.

    And so happy now that Duffy's CS is gone!

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

    First Ryan save.

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

      legend

  11. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone doing better than 6(-2)?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      *6(-4)

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not even in positive points yet. 😆

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

      6(-8)

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

      20 from 6 so far

  12. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Son, Duffy, Vardy and Murray account for over 75% of the top 10k captaincy.

    Good opportunity for those with a differential captain (or Duffy/Murray if they do something in the game and a half they have left) but even if your captain blanks this week it won't be the end of the world. So we can all relax.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Also, Duffy can blank twice and still match Son.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Assuming they only concede 1 in each game.. Bournemouth will roll in another here

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

          k

        2. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Even if they do, you've hardly been dealt a major blow. If Son beats you it's literally by a couple of points.

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

      It's true. I'll stand by the Duffy captain but was always itchy to put it on Lukaku or Laca.

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Last minute switch from Son to Aguero for me, heres hoping Aguero starts though!

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How's 1 point from 7 players including captain?

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

      way above average

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Badjohnsen.

    3. jtreble

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Least my two potential WC signings in Redmond and Boly would have sat on my bench this week anyways. Very small consolation

  21. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Dunk > Bednarek this week?

    Leaves me enough money to do Duffy > TAA after the DGW with FT, it was my plan to get a pool defender and a downgrade to non-playing fodder somewhere else to free up cash using 2FT after the double anyway.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years

      I sold him this week to ensure Duffy (C)-ers wouldn't get a CS.

    2. FPL Scoop

    This gameweek is already looking like a complete non event. Captain fails everywhere.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Enjoy FPL!

    2. jtreble

      Moura (C) worked out well.

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Moura a massive top 10k differential, wow.

    I wouldn’t have ever picked him on WC (long term) over Son(c)/Eriksen, but fair play to those who did!

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

      I know you said this already

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone playing huddersfield is a good pick.

    3. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I thought about getting him in for two seconds, but then sobered up and captaining Duffy felt more reasonable.

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

        He was in my team all week and switched to Eriksen and planned to bring him instead of whoever play this game week (I.e. needs a rest.....eriksen). Only myself to blame

  29. Ciro Di Marzio

    There was a guy in here earlier saying he went for Redmond. Can’t remember his name but well done that man!!
