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.

    Next time, we should just pick season 11, and check the results after the matches are over.

    I didn't want to double up on Brighton...cause it's Brighton but this is still pitiful, sheesh

    Nathan Redmond is currently saving my WC game week. That’s what it’s come too.

  12. imtheboss
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Really didn’t understand the Brighton captaincy talk! Fortunately (for me), the leader of my league had Duffy as captain, and Ryan as GK!

  13. Brosstan

    Imagine capping Duffy against world beaters bournemouth. We truly are the real casuals. At least I removed Knockaert last second.

  14. how now brown cow

    Sunderland 4 Coventry 5 sounds a decent game.

  15. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I'm gonna need Deeney to save my GW on Monday night, that's not something I ever thought I'd say.

  16. mr. inconspicuous

  23. Vamos
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    One of those wonderful weeks where not playing your wildcard would have been better!

    Always worried about all the rotation and FA Cup hangovers bit this is even worse than I imagined!

    At least we're all having stinkers.

    (Except the world #5 who captained Moura)

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  25. umerlfc
    • 10 Years

    Till the last minute I thought about captaining Lukaku but went for Duffy...

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years

  26. Pat Bonner

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Not captaining Duffy feels so good now. I'd rate this gw's a success purely on this.

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
