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.

    What happened to C Duffy?

    Well this sucks as a Duffy (c) - but flipping brilliant as a Palace fan!

    Think I preferred my team before Kane got injured; had Redmond and Boly in it. Then I had loads of extra cash to spend and “upgraded” them both...

    McNeil and Brooks in my pre-WC team.

  15. Differentiator

    Officialfpl going to try their best to deny Fraser the assists. Barstewards.

  16. TheDragon

    Quadruple Brighton defence still essential?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Said no one ever

  17. Samwise

  18. Gudjohnsen

    Got more points on my bench than the 11 playing.

  19. Niho992

    F**k off Siggurdson

  20. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years

    Starting Doherty was a masterstroke.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Jota and Jimmy is not much better

  21. pjomara

    Brooks and Fraser ye trolling sons of Bs

  22. Merlinsnose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Do we think Moura is worth getting in now? Will he continue to play?

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

      Should. Champs midweek will give better idea.

  23. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Booted Brooks out, kept Wilson, swings and roundabouts

  24. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So much luck involved in this game. Wilson misses two sitters last week from Brooks passes, then you bin them and they get points. The beauty and pain of FPL!

  25. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering sitting out next season and taking a break from the game?

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

      Yes. Definitely.

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      NOPE

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That’s already my intention 🙂
      Really is no fun anymore, and that’s supposed to be the point of it.

    4. Sif
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Might take June off.

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

        Casual

    5. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope, I'm in too deep in this s***

    6. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I am! It actually puts me in a bad mood and ruins my weekends all the stress, not worth it.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely. Not worth it.

      2. DAZZ
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, like today, a bad day and i really cant be bothered. Puts me off

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

      Blank season? FH for that

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

      Yes.

    I guess tomorrow is going to be the big FPL day anyway within City, Liverpool and Chelsea playing.

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 3 months ago
