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

    Josh King time

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    Actually really need a Sanchez haul here!

  3. Drexl Spivey

    Is there a decent online facility available that collates the amount of wildcards used in every season, to determine how and when they're more commonly used?

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

      So your team is shite then?

      i've just lost the plot reading your question & lookimg at your gravatar

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      ^ Bright pair of lads.

      I'll take that as a no.

  4. Do I Not Like Orange

    Any decent 4.5 defenders on the radar as a Tsimikas replacement? Thinking maybe one of the Spurs CBs or a Brentford defender.

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      they're all a punt at 4.5

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

      White if you can wait a week?

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs could be good if we know who survives when Romero starts. Brentford didn't look too solid against Palace. There's Brighton of course.

    Jammy Mahrez points aside, it’s time to dump and run now isn’t it?

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

      Why?

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

        The rotation risk. He’s my route to Son too.

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

      I think so. Only really wanted him for the Norwich game anyway. Too expensive to be sweating the City lineup every week and Jesus was excellent today.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, either him or Salah to Son for me

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why not keep for Arsenal, could rip them to sharada, I’m tempted to hold

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Shreads*

      2. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure I have the stones to spin the wheel again.

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

        Who drops out for him though? Can't predict Pep but you'd think Grealish and Jesus would keep their places. Torres will probably be dropped but could be for Sterling rather than Mahrez.

  6. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    Mahrez + Toney to DCL + Raph (2 fts) yay or nay? If raph can play gw4

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      not a bad move

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

      Big if with Raphinha.

    3. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      easiest yay ever

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

    I’m confused, why are people selling Mahrez?
    He even came on and scored.

    Reverse kneejerk?

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

      I’m actually thinking of buying him LOL

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

        Wait til Friday and get a 0.2m discount

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      2md choice to Jesus now clearly

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

        lol everyone knows he gets rotated, that’s never changed

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

      Son (WAT) only a mill away.

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

        This

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

        Noooo he’s my differential though!

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

      Sounds like they play better when he doesn't start?

    5. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Releasing some money for upgrades in my case.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This. Want/Need DCL instead of Foney.

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

      Coz Pep roulette gives me the [rude word]

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

        I know but you all knew that already

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

          I thought with Mahrez being the only one with a pre-season (pundits on this site's quite) he'd be safe for 2 weeks.

          That's proven rubbish, again. Pep is insufferable,

          Mahrez goes.

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

            Quote, rather

  8. Ouf
    • 4 Years

    Both team very sloppy so far

  13. Rainer

    Veltman staying put for a bit longer...

  14. ☈☾

    Lets gooo Duffy goal!!!

  15. Steve The Spud

    DUFFY WAGON

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Christ almighty, Duffy resurgence. Stats were there after GW1...

  17. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Great header! Delighted for Duffy. Bandwagon incoming!

  18. Licky
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    That's not good for Veltman, is it?

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any Duffy TC'ers?

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Time to bring Jota in?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Time to take him out

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Why?

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      DUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

    3. Ady87
      • 12 Years

      Tsimi > Duffy confirmed

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That'll be the Shane Duffy I used my FT to get in for Veltman. Offended the herd mentality - I didn't get one response in support, but I stuck to my guns.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Well done! Great call

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        You should tell people online about your decision

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        did you play him?

      4. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Great call. On your bench though right?

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

          Bench Boost.

          1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Lovely. You must be buzzing

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

              Yeh, I was trailing my ML to a rival who has Mahrez. Rest of his squad to play is same as mine other than my benchies. Duffy's goal seals the weekly cash in my envelope.
              Plus he might keep his place for GW4 and 6.

          2. Gunneryank
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            That's insane. Well played.

    5. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Stones in starting XI guess who's coming off the bench

      Dufffffyyyyyyyy

    6. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Duffy goal about 5 years too late

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

        Painful memories

    7. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      should have had the balls to go for him

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

      Did anyone start with 5x 4m defenders?

      Great start with GW4 WC to come...

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Own 3. Switched Hoever to Duffy

      2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thought about 3 but chickened out

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

      Been wondering for ages why Duffy isn’t nailed in that Brighton team!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Because he had been dogshyte...

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

          How? He hasn’t been given the chance

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

            Last year on loan at Celtic was a disaster

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

              Scottish league though - he is too good for that 😉

    10. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Jota and Mahrez > Benrahma and Son?

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

        Looks good.

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

        Madness imo

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

      Groß assist 🙂

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

      2. ☈☾

        Az's apprentice in heaven

      3. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He was once a decent option

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

          Still is I think. Pens too
