Norwich City v Liverpool was our tea-time game last Saturday; a slightly less appetising evening fare for Gameweek 2 sees Brighton and Hove Albion entertain Watford at the Amex.

The game does feature Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) second most-owned starting goalkeeper, in the form of Robert Sanchez (£4.5m).

Almost one in four FPL managers have selected the Spain international.

But the fact that the only other player in either starting XI with a double-digit ownership is bench fodder option Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) does provide some context as to the importance of tonight’s result on the FPL landscape.

Albion boss Graham Potter makes two changes from his side’s opening-day win over Burnley, with Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Adam Lallana (£5.5m) in for Enock Mwepu (£6.0m) and Steven Alzate (£5.0m).

£4.0m FPL defender Shane Duffy again starts at centre-half.

Xisco Munoz makes just the one change from the team that beat Aston Villa 3-2 in Gameweek 1, with Imran Louza (£5.5m) starting in place of the injured Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

Emmanuel Dennis (£5.1m), flagged in FPL after appearing to limp off last weekend, starts again up top.

Joshua King (£5.5m) has recovered from a groin problem and makes the bench.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Webster, Dunk, Bissouma, Maupay, Mac Allister, Trossard, Gross, Lallana, March, Duffy

Subs: Steele, Connolly, Mwepu, Moder, Alzate, Zeqiri, Caicedo, Roberts, Richards

Watford XI: Bachmann, Etebo, Ekong, Louza, Cleverley, Masina, Sema, Cathcart, Sarr, Dennis, Kabasele

Subs: Foster, Ngakia, Rose, King, Deeney, Fletcher, Hernandez, Sierralta, Baah

    Battle of the cheap GKs - Bachmann vs Sanchez.

    Raya: Hold my beer....

    Lets go Duffy!

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes please! I’m in the Duffy Club too.

  4. Sourabh
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Thought of doing Barnes + Toney -> Son + 4.5 Fwd, but Buendia is already giving so many problems

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      BArnes has Norwich....

  5. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    2FT. Still too early but would you consider doing Mahrez, Toney to Son, Dennis ?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is Dennis nailed on?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Starts last GW and today. Just want to cut my losses with Toney

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe

  6. Weilong7
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Recommend replacement for digne?
    Thanks

    1. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Reguilon considering Spurs turn around.

      1. Weilong7
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks bro

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looking at Perreira at Leicester.

      1. Weilong7
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I see.. almost had Bertrand instead of digne in gw1..

        Perhaps I can go city or chelsea? Need to guess for the latter though..

  7. Daniyal
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes has norwich next but he's already -63.2 at fplstatistics so Barnes to Greenwood for free ?
    also have Toney who could drop aswell
    Really Raphinha scored otherwise he would've a candidate for drop aswell.
    Anyways what do u guys think how imp is to avoid a price drop even if u think the player can do well in the next GW ?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I don't care about price drops at all

    2. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If you think they're going to do well, why not keep them?

      1. Daniyal
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        to avoid price drops this early in the season ? a 5-6 point GW would be a decent return but unlikely to earn him a price hike no ?

  8. InRafaWeTrust
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of Greenwood > Gray
    Ings > DCL

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Double Everton?

      1. InRafaWeTrust
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Great fixtures until GW7 and scoring plenty of goals

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd keep Ings for next GW and see how Greenwood plays tomorrow.

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Bit harsh dropping Ings now, scored twice in a row like

      1. InRafaWeTrust
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not convinced he’ll keep it up in the short term

  9. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So is Dennis nailed?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      And fit. Thinking Toney to Dennis, I am...

      Cash to get Son

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Was expecting Stones to haul here.... Not Laporte or Dias ffs

  11. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I'm getting a bit tired of the word "kneejerk". Swapping a player for someone you think will do better are what transfers are for.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      After one week, it's a kneejerk 99% of the time

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      after the first day of the GW. defeinite knee jerk

  12. Andy1
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I'm thinking gundogan and Toney to

    DCL and either

    A. Dallas
    B. Gray

    Any suggestions?

  13. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Initial thoughts are Toney & Salah to DCL & Son

    Alot depends on whether Salah will be available in gw4

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised if they don't all get exemptions.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking similar

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      These players get tested all the time, no?

    4. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Same moves here

    5. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry salah due to? African nations cup? Mane also affected?

    6. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What’s with Salah GW4?

  14. I Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Veltman
    Salah, Fernandes, Mahrez, Greenwood, Brownhill
    Ings, Antonio

    Steele; White, Tsimikas, Perica.

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    How do I get 1m to do Mahrez -> Son?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Can only see greenwood out as a way to get it

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Ings

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood to Sarr

    4. mrzimzam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have almost the same team as you. I'm thinking on Mahrez, Greenwood -> Son, Raphina or Benrahma.

  16. Quality Quality Qualit
    • 16 Years

    Are any City players nailed?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ederson.

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        And probably dias

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nailed on for rotation!

  17. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Digne soon to be leaving my team, never to return.

    1. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who will you be getting?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Perreira at Leicester is interesting me.

        1. fantasyfog
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yep, great pic, trying to squeeze him in myself

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne has always been fools gold

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, I fell for it again so shame on me.

  18. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) Ings and DCL
    B) Lukaku and Dennis

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

  19. Andrew
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is Tsimikas done now Robertson is back?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Done post-IB. Might get the nod for Chelsea...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea and IB not great.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson

  21. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone watch the Everton game? Thinking of a £5.5m midfielder for Buendia and thinking Gray or Doucoure. Nearly had Gray at the starts as was in scout picks snd read that he had a good preseason. Was thinking Mbueno also but two blanks in a row….

  22. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Dennis starts again. The interest grows

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Imma go Toney to Dennis to afford Mahrez to Son.

  23. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Why are people downgrading Mahrez when you could upgrade to Son?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why are people selling him in the first place.
      He even scored, like a reverse kneejerk lol

  24. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Will Raphinha miss Gw4?

  25. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    FWIW everyone stressing about GW4 there has always been exemption from quarantine for elite sport - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-coronavirus-covid-19-measures-for-elite-sport/elite-sport-operations
    I’d be pretty sure the Premier League ensure this applies for the international break.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      This is the important part isn't it?

      "This exemption does not apply if they have travelled from or through a red-list country in the 10 days before their arrival. They must follow the requirements for arrivals from red-list countries, including quarantining in a managed quarantine hotel, unless they are participating in an event which is listed under Schedule 11 of the Regulations."

      I'm sure we'll know more very soon.

  26. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    who to get rid first?
    Toney or Digne?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne. Poison.

  27. ceerus
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A)Wilson + Ings
    B) Raphinhia + DCL

  28. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Could really do with some input guys, worried about missing more price rises

    1.5itb 2 free transfers

    Sanchez Steele

    Taa Shaw Tsi Amartey White

    Salah Bruno Raph Barnes Gilmour

    Toney Ings Antonio

    Obviously sticking with Taa Salah Bruno Raph Ings and Antonio

    How do I get a premium in, son, lukaku, kane without ruining my team balance??

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Toney to Dennis frees up 1.5M, but your defence needs work first.

  29. Jdpz
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best defender under 5.9m? And No Shaw.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Leicester’s Pereira one to monitor. Regulon at Spurs.

  30. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What about Salah out for Kane? I’m two moves obviously

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not until we know what’s happening with Harry.
