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.

    Raul Jiminez brace pls

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Next GW would be better IMO. In both games.

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      This

    3. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Would take that, but having him as vc would be a bit annoying that Son(c) came on for a cameo

    4. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Anything but this please. Wait for next week when I'll own.

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Everyone has him.

  2. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Come on Camarasa (c)...

    Not too disappointed so far as my other two options were Vardy & Son...

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Not a bad shout. Cardiff have to win which means going for goals.

      1. Vobinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        That's why I went for him, it's all or nothing for Cardiff this week.

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Im guessing you didnt take thetinmans advice

  3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Doherty on my bench but so much potential rotation this week I've no idea what I want to see.

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      He's my 2nd sub, so I'm hoping for a blank.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Doherty for a brace.

  4. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Anyone reckon wolves are gonna find it tough against Southampton?

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yes, if they come out the blocks like they did against Livi, otherwise i fancy Wolves

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Hope not.
      Played 3 of them and benched Valery

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Same

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      If the same team that played Liverpool turn up again, yes.

    4. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yep. Predicting a 2-1 win for Soton.

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Coach changes formation i guess when Play different teams.
      Depends upon that i think.
      I'm expecting Wolves to come out all guns blazing though

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah i’m expecting a close and tight game from both really

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          Lol
          Redmond scores now.
          Unexpected

  5. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Moura....aargh was so close to bringing him in, he was in one of my drafts 🙁

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Enjoy his points in your drafts. 😉

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Thanks 😀

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        😉

  6. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Murray owners so unlucky 🙁 This is only his 9th benching of the season

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Would've been more as well if Andone was fit from the start

  7. DionysusThyrsus
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Why on earth was lucas absent on the captain poll and does anyone know of a site anywhere that shows how many what percentage captained him?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      0.4% captained him

      1. DionysusThyrsus
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        cheers bud, thats 0.3% more than i was expecting. Still had no idea why he was absent from that poll.

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      He was captained by 0.4% in the top 10k and 0.1% overall. Probably answers your first question too.

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    come on bournemouth

  9. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Not captained a defender often, and all them times it's not ended well..
    Duffy

  10. azz007
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Feel beeter as a Vardy cap now that Son only had cameo. . Hope kun is benched too

  11. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Quadruple BRI defence here. Think I will just watch the Wolves game

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Hooold!

  13. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Have a horrible feeling Duffy is going to score, owned him a lot this season and had him on my FH but because I got Ryan on my WC a few weeks ago didn't want to double up!

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Own goal hopefully.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        No chance, he is my captain. More likely dunk scores I reckon.

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          scores a goal or an own goal?

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 20 days ago

            Reckon the right end this time.

  14. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Moura, before today had 7 goals in 19 games where he played over 60 minutes, including a once off hat trick vs Manu.....maybe not such an obvious pick...

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Decent chance that Duffy scores the same as Son then? Normal expected points for a defender is 2 I guess

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yep

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Good chance they concede in both, BOU score twice and Son beats Duffy by 1.

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yes

  16. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    TC Salah/Mane v Uddersfield GW36 then?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Oh yes, come on Salah!

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Same here I think

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yup. Whoever it is - it needs to be 4x attack (TC + one more) or (Cap + 2 more).

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Think so. Bobby for a differential

  17. Futile Tinkering
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    TC Salah for moi

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Redmond G
    Sims A

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Brought in Doherty!!!!!

  19. boc610
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Whatever player i dont own but gets a haul " I was so close to bringing in"

  20. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Glen Murray and Jonty - separated at birth?

  21. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Redmooonnnddd

  22. bodgejob
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Has Duffy (c) scored yet?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Just a brace so far

  23. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Hoping for a goal is much easier than expecting a CS.

    I'd never watch the match in which i want a CS 😀
    Too stressful

  24. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Mark knows.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Murray(c)?

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      On bench though

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        He played Redmond.

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          Oh did he - what a maverick!

  25. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Forgot to do anything with my team have have Guaita starting with Boruc benched, ouch.

  26. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Imagine duffy scores

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      FFS, FPL & LiveFPL all crash.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Would make him an FPL legend

  27. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Reddy goal, Simsy assist.

  28. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
