Who are the best Brighton players for FPL Double Gameweek 27?

Brighton and Hove Albion’s season has been superb so far, effortlessly recovering from losing head coach Graham Potter and the big-money sales of Marc Cucurella (£5.0m) and Yves Bissouma (£4.7m) to currently sit eighth in the table.

Despite selling Leandro Trossard (£6.6m) in January, good times are continuing for Roberto De Zerbi. The Seagulls are one of four teams to play twice in Double Gameweek 27 and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are expected to pounce on their best assets by Saturday’s deadline.

FIXTURES

Win their three games in hand over Tottenham Hotspur and they could be in the top four, chasing the UEFA Champions League. Therefore, it’s with great FPL interest that Brighton have both a Double Gameweek 27 and a Double Gameweek 29.

These sandwich a blank week, which is irritating, but it’s not enough to stop investment. Especially when there will likely be three more Double Gameweeks beyond this.

Their two immediate opponents are having a tough time. Rivals Crystal Palace are winless in nine games and no team has had fewer big chances in this period, whilst Leeds United have only scored in two of their last seven matches.

Also, defensively, they have conceded the first and third-most shots inside the box since Gameweek 17’s restart. The pair offer prime FPL potential for Brighton players.

TEAM STATS

As does their own team statistics. Although Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have scored more goals since the restart, they’ve also played more often. Brighton actually lead the way for goals per game (2.22) having netted 20 times from nine outings.

      I think Steele could get rotated at any point with Sanchez but otherwise nice

      James making it through to GW29 intact probably the biggest punt...

    Towers should provide an option where you could FH and BB in the same GW.

      Why not just add triple captain while you're at it?

      Every week there would be assholes creating a new team for the brief glory of having the highest scoring team. Oh wait, that already happens.

        * actually the FH would be redundant in that case - so they'd triple captain first week and FH/BB the following week before quitting.

    Salah. Rashford. Saka. Odegaard. Martinelli

    Who to take out for Mitoma, and / or McAlister, and why ?

    Thinking Odegaard , least in form/explosive and Fulham away might be tricky

      I'm keeping Odegaard mainly due to not blanking in GW28, where at most I'll have 10 starters after the FT that weel. But I have the luxury of transferring out BrunoF to get a second Brighton mid this week, which has a neutral effect on having 10 starters the following week.

    Another WC team and sanity checking.

    Raya Ward
    Trippier Pinnock Estupinian Cash Botman
    Mitoma MacAllister Saka Marti Rashford
    Toney Watkins Kane

    9m itb

    Gives me:
    6 DGW for 27
    10 players for GW28
    13 Doublers GW29 (Mart => Bruno)
    Get Haaland back GW30

    GTG?

      Ideally I would like to have 11 for 28 since you are on WC but not sure where you can get that 11th player. Allister seems to be the weak point but midfield options with GW28 fixtures are pretty meh.

      Sure about double Newcastle defense? maybe their downfall has started? (in terms of CSs obviously)

        Yeah I did look at 11 for GW28 and came up with Estu => Zinc/Gab. But gives one less for GW29.

    Up to 4k overall rank now. Still have wildcard left.

    I have 2 Fts and it is worth doing the following for a -4.

    TAA Bueno and Andreas to Estupinian, Badashille and Mitoma/Macallister for a -4?

    Gives me this for Gw27:

    Ederson,
    Estupinian, Trippier, White
    Salah, Macallister/Mitoma, Saka, Odegaard, Rashford
    Toney, Haaland,

    Ward, Watkins, Mings, Badashille,

    Then gives me 9 for GW8. I can then look at maybe Salah to Maddison

    Thanks

    So with March carrying a knock and therefore a bit of a risk to play both games, who does everyone prefer:

    a) MacAllister- got the stats but not as much the conversion into goals and assists.

    Or

    b) Mitoma- not as good stats but passes the eye test and getting more goal contributions
