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.

    As long as Brighton don’t concede 4, this is still a positive result.

    ..say Duffy captained as they rock themselves back and forth in the dark.

    Brighton conceded 11 goals in last 12 home matches
    Bournemouth scored 6 in last 12 away matches.
    Bmouth have nothing to play for "on the beach"
    Brighton playing to stay in the league.
    How does this happen?

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Because Brighton are awful and Howe would have been embarrassed by how Bournemouth played against Burnley last week and would have demanded a response.

    What I think of this gameweek?

    Two words...

    As if

  11. Numb

    Anyone hit the ton yet?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      Yes, with my head

  12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    Double Brighton defence was a good idea...

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

    Valery off
    Stephens on

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    Fraser coating me my head to head and probably my league! #%*$!!

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years

    WC wasted.

  16. JohnnyMagrinho
    7 years, 3 months ago

    The amount of comments leading up to this weekend about how Duffy was the standout captaincy pick - there was even an article written about their defence being of interest.

    Bizarre. Utterly bizarre. Kept 6 clean sheets all season and all of a sudden because of a DGW people get so blinded they throw logic and stats out the window.

    Craziness.

    To be fair, Duffy captainers might at least get a couple of points from the Cardiff game so it's not all bad.

    1. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser to Sigurdsson lol@me.
      Wilson benched for Vardy(C) lol@me.

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

  18. pjomara

    Can't see Duffy starting next game after this performance.

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

      Has he in particular been poor?

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Well you did captain Duffy.....Shane Duffy captain in an FPL gameweek

    Say that back, it is as ridiculous as it sounds when someone first says it

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

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

    City 1 - 0 BHA
    Bou 4 - 0 BHA

    Me, red arrows. Ghost teams, green arrows.

  22. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years

    OR 1 has Wilson and benched Fraser.

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me too. But I'm not OR 1 xD

  23. Donblaster
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Somehow, bringing Moura in could end up being a 'rough' not a 'smooth' for me.

    -4 hit and benched Wilson...

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

    It was only 3 hours ago that Duffy cappers were laughing. Turns out Son and Vardy could end up outscoring him.

    My WC team is so bad, I'm not even annoyed anymore. Haha. Pre wc team would have had 5 times more points :p

  26. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Triple Brighton defense working out great

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam

  28. Pariße
    • 11 Years

    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Well done to all those whose spunked their WCs early.

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years

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

      😀 would then only need appearance points and CS vs Cardiff to match Son
