Brighton defenders are the talk of the Fantasy Premier League town ahead of the new season after they were handed an appealing run of fixtures in the opening Gameweeks – and their prices were revealed on Tuesday morning.

With wing-backs who regularly get forward and tall defenders who are prime targets at attacking set pieces there could be plenty of points available to FPL managers from Brighton’s defensive assets if the team could only live up to some of their statistics.

And, according to Fantasy Football Scout’s Season Ticker, their first five matches make up the easiest sequence of opening matches on offer to any of the 20 Premier League clubs with trips to Burnley and Brentford interspersed with home meetings with Watford, Everton and Leicester.

Now that FPL have released the prices for their players, we have assessed which of those options look the best bet for our initial Gameweek 1 drafts.

CAN WE TRUST BRIGHTON’S DEFENCE THIS SEASON?

    What's the ID check? Significance?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      None. Some just like having a very low number.

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Not gonna rank 1st in the main game so may as well try to be 1st in something

    F5, Inc. is an American company that specializes in application delivery networking (ADN), application availability & performance, multi-cloud management, application security, network security, access & authorization and online fraud prevention.

    F5 is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with additional development, manufacturing, and administrative offices worldwide.

    F5's offering was originally based on Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions, but has since expanded into a wide variety of application layer, automation, multi-cloud and security services.

    F5 Inc., originally named "F5 Labs" and formerly branded "F5 Networks, Inc." was established in 1996. Currently the company's public facing branding generally presents the company as just "F5".

    In 1997, F5 launched its first product, a load balancer called BIG-IP. BIG-IP served the purpose of reallocating server traffic away from overloaded servers. In June 1999, the company had its initial public offering and was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange with symbol FFIV.

    In 2017, François Locoh-Donou replaced John McAdam as president and CEO Later in 2017, F5 launched a dedicated site and organization focused on gathering global threat intelligence data, analyzing application threats, and publishing related findings, dubbed “F5 Labs” in a nod to the company's history. The team continues to research application threats and publish findings every week. On May 3, 2017, F5 announced that it would move from its longtime headquarters on the waterfront near Seattle Center to a new downtown Seattle skyscraper that will be called F5 Tower. The move occurred in early 2019.

    Notable F5 employees include Igor Sysoev, the author of Nginx.

    • 12 Years

    Haha I love this. Every year this happens and everyone starts guessing the exact time of launch. Only for it to come out a week later.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It will come out today or at worst tomorrow. The price drops are much more aggressive this year too than last year where they did like one player at a time.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same as my local Lidl.

    2. Arn De Gothia

      And soon endless numbers of RMT:s

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Just stay off for a month or two.

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Absolutely, good luck

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        hopefully the discussion will be about structures rather than choices, but inevitably it wont be

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sadly it will be template after template

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            and non-template getting converted into template

            1. Arn De Gothia
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Yes, sadly so

  18. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Oh it's coming.

    Once got ID number 3 but then had a terrible season.

  19. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Could I sell my ID#1 on Amazon if I get it?

  20. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    5 minutes

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      5 minutes to 30 mins and it goes on and on..

  21. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea boys isolating and miss next match or two.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yet the Scots are not.

      1. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Has there been any logical explanation for this? Chillwell and Mount chatted to him for 25 minutes in the tunnel apparently but surely aren't the Scottish lads are chatting with every day?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Logic?

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      How is Steve Clarke not isolating? He spent just as long hugging and talking to the kid after the match. Plus surely all the Scottish players shared an enclosed dressing room with him rather than talking to him outside in the open air?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Come on. If we’ve learned anything from COVID, it’s that there is no sense. 4 days later and they’ve tested negative. Yawn.

  22. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez 4
    TAA Shaw Digne Lamptey 4
    Salah Bruno Jota Raph 4.5
    DCL Watkins Toney

    Template complete. Now endless discussions about DCL vs Nacho, Raph vs Buendia. Double Liv mid vs double Liv defence. TAA vs Robbo. Spending an extra 0.5 on a man utd goalie.

    1. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dont want Kane?

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No. The conversation starts if he moves to City.

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        that will be one of the key template variants i suppose

        drop 1 of Salah/Bruno for Sarr/Buendia
        Toney to Kane

        and of course there will be some muppets who try to fit all 3 in.

        1. dabber7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          The Kermit template lol!

          Sanchez
          Lamptey, Shaw, Digne, 4, 4
          Salah, Bruno, Raph, Sarr, 4.5
          Kane, Watkins, Toney

    2. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      spot on

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        its 0.5 over as it stands but thats the structure i reckon. there will be some trimming around the edges dependent on information gathered over the next few weeks (euros impact, friendlies etc).

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Are the prices already out?

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        most of them are. sub in Robbo for TAA in the above and thats a confirmed legit 100mln team

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Mostly yes

    4. Rakir

      You missing Son

    5. Tomerick

      Yep you’ve done it. Everyone should just go this one and we’re sorted.

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      This is the stone cold template. How dull.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The pricing is too lenient imo.

        Seems a bit too easy, and easy isnt good for the game. Its like dealing everyone a pair of Aces in poker.

  23. CaptMidnight
