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.

    Mcallister March or Mitoma? I know what the article is suggesting, but just keen to hear who people are going for!

    1. agueroooooney
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mitoma

    2. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I had March from a while back and the decision between Mitoma and Mac was agonising. I went with Mitoma in the end, having been fixed on Mac because my rivals at work all had Mac

    3. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Mitoma, looking to add McAllister... Considering not much to pick between them, seems obvious to go for the Pen taker.

      Thanks all. Interesting, most are not going for the clear XG winner! Could be a interesting case of XG vs. actual points.

      1. FantasyHero
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Who is the clear xG winner? March?

  2. agueroooooney
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Would you bring in Mitoma for a hit for anyone here?

    Rashford - Saka - Odegaard - Salah

    Already used my FT to upgrade shoddy defence.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      No

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope. You don't want to sell either Arsenal because they're needed in GW28.

    4. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years

      Ode

    1. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'm on Mbuemo - think he could be solid value.

    2. agueroooooney

      B

  4. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years

    Martinelli or Odegaard on wildcard?

    1. Well you know, Triffic

      Mart

  5. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed...

    Agree with this order for best prospects in GW29?
    A) Rashford (new, BRE)
    B) Maddison (cry, AVL)
    C) McAllister (BRE, bou)
    D) Bowen (NEW, SOU)

    1. Well you know, Triffic

    Hokey cokey Ode > Mitoma?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If you have Saka and no Brighton mid, then yes.

  7. Podorsky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Chillwell or Jamesvfor GW 28?

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I can't trust James anymore. Chilly the safer option.

      1. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Will both start? Did both end the game without injury?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Come on now, you don't have to ask here to find that out...

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Chilwell probably a safer pick as James can miss games with random niggles / precautions.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Let them both get through GW27 first, both not the best injury history!

  8. cutch
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Kepa
    Saliba, Trippier, Mings
    Salah, Mitoma*, Odegaard, Saka
    Toney*, Kane, Haaland
    Subs: Ward, Tarkowski, NWilliams, Andreas
    1 FT

    A) Odegaard - > Rashford
    B) Odegaard - > MacAllister
    C) Tarkowski - > Mee
    D) 2 of the above for a -4 hit

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Just do B

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      b and c

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I am strongly considering to go without Haaland on my WC which is active now.

    The main reason for that is because I want both Kane and Salah in my team, so that's impossible to have all 3.

    City play against Palace away which often make us problem, then blank, then in-form Liverpool at home, then another away match against Soton which is apparently City's toughest away day after Anfield recently, then Leicester at home. Brighton away (perhaps I will use FH then) and Arsenal at home after that is also not so easy. Plus, CL match if we get through will be after Soton or Leicester which are both on Sunday and if we get to play on Tuesday night, then Haaland will surely get rested.

    And on the top of that, Haaland doesn't score too much away. I think his days of scoring hattricks are behind him. Even braces should be rare.

    The only problem is how can I watch my team and one of my favorite players and hoping he doesn't score?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Also, I have too much money in him as everyone else, but it seems like we won't need too much money at the endd of the season. I mean, we all have a lot of money in the bank.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      There's a fair enough case for temporarily dropping him with the doubles/blanks, do what you'd like to do - it's a gamble but not an entirely bad one.

      Just a reminder he's got a very dire Palace squad up next! But that's fair of other players too...

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        It's a huge gamble now when I finally got into top 40k. It would rocket me up or down.

        Yes, but as I said, we never played too well at Selhurst Park and we have important CL match on Tuesday too.

        I think Kane at home against Forest and Salah against Bournemouth away are much better fixtures.

  10. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who to bench this GW? Currently thinking Martinelli. Cheers.

    Mitoma, March, Rashford, Saka, Martinelli, Haaland, Kane or Toney

    1. agueroooooney
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Very tough but I agree with Martinelli

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        The one u bench will haul but using logic etc probably Martinelli

  11. KieranKA
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which option for GW27?

    A: Wild Card (BB29)
    Kepa // Ward
    Trippier Estupiñán Henry // Botman Lodí
    Salah Saka Rashford Ødegaard March
    Kane Toney(c) // Watkins

    B: no Wild Card yet, –4 hit
    Kepa // Ward
    Trippier Estupiñán Henry // Aké White
    Salah Saka Rashford Ødegaard // Andreas
    Kane Toney(c) Ferguson

    1. agueroooooney
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

      March over Ferguson not worth a WC

  12. agueroooooney
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What order would you have these in this week (2 start, 2 bench)?

    A) Schar (WOL)
    B) Lewis (cry)
    C) White (ful)
    D) Tarkowski (BRE)

  13. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    After a horrific wc iv just about recovered to come back on here to ask a question about my team.

    Would u play

    A) Zinchenko or
    B) Trippier

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Trippier

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Whichever one you play will get a 1 pointer and the other will get a 15 pointer ... such is FPL!

  14. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I know March is playing well and all, but come on guys he has been at Brighton forever and never really hauled in FPL. Surely de Zerbi hasn't changed him that much, all the easy chances he misses are the rule not the exception methinks.

    Having said that, he will now go on to get 30 points in the DGW!

    1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He's the one I'm thinking of keeping out of my WC so I hope your first statement is more true than your second!

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      this would say otherwise - "who were denied his fifth double-digit haul from ten matches"

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Almiron also was doing well for a bit there

  15. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Would you BB these four ?

    Kepa
    Ode
    Zinchenko
    Botman

    Cheers.

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      GW 29 bench the same? Cause you'll have 2 extra fixtures and better fix for Arsenal boys.

      1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        what he said.

  16. Kantelele
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which moves would you do in this team ? How to get Toney ?
    2 ft 0.0 itb would like to play 9 in BGW28 and use BB in DGW29
    Kepa
    Trippier, Estupinan, Robertson
    Mitoma,Bowen,Salah,Saka,Odegaard
    Haaland,Felix
    Bench : Navas,Emerson,Gnonto

  17. Kantelele

    Halaand,Gnonto --> Mbeumo, Toney for 2 ft good move ?

    1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      not Mbeumo. can you afford Watkins?

  18. Sterling Malory

    Roll FT? And BB or save?

    Raya

      1hr from this comment.

  20. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What to do here. Still have WC and BB. Likely FH in GW29.

    Kepa
    Henry, White, Tripper
    Saka, Odegaard, Salah, Mitoma, Rashford
    Kane, Haaland

    Ward, Watkins, Tark, Bueno £0.1m itb

    A. Ward -> Steele
    B. Tarko -> Pinnock
    C. Save

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Question, why FH in 29?

  21. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Repost for more feedback/ideas.

    GW27 team w/ 1FT & 0.4 ITB;
    Kepa
    Trent, Badiashile, White, Burn
    Salah, Rashford, Odegaard, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane (c)

    Ward, Nketiah, Kilman, Andreas

    Plans are replies below. Feel free to respond to this comment or any of the individual plans below if you think I can squeeze in better players. Context: No WC or TC left. Only FH & BB remaining. Only just broke into the top 1M and aiming for top 100K finish.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Plan A (No Haaland);
      GW27: Trent & Nketiah > Henry & Toney(c) -4
      GW28: Haaland & Andreas > Watkins & Saka* -4
      GW29: White > Trippier = BB & 11x DGWers with Kilman, Saka, Odegaard & Kane as SGWers.

      *Saka could be Maddison, then would have 12 DGWers in GW29.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Plan B (Keep Haaland);
      GW27: Trent & Nketiah > Henry & Toney(c) -4
      GW28: Salah & Andreas > Maddison & Saka -4
      GW29: White > Trippier = BB & 10x DGWers with Kilman, Saka, Odegaard, Kane & Haaland as SGWers

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Plan C (No Salah);
      GW27: Salah & Nketiah > Saka & Toney(c) -4
      GW28: Trent & Andreas > Emerson Royal & Maddison -4
      GW29: White > Trippier = BB & 9 DGWers with Kilman, Emerson Royal, Saka, Odegaard, Kane & Haaland as SGWers

    4. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      that is a lot of information to digest. I think ok to go without Haaland, but I am chasing not where you are. I think I like A but don't bite the hand that feeds you. 😉

    5. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I find it unthinkable to sell Salah ahead of Bournemouth right now, so it's between A and B for me.

      Between Salah and Haaland, 29 fixtures are hard to separate, Haalands fixture in 30 is a bit better.

      I'm going to to keep both and play gw28 with 10 (Rash, Brighton mid) - maybe an option for you which saves a hit?

  22. GC123
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Evening guys. GW27 MF

    Rash Bruno F Martinelli Odegaard

    1 FT and exact money to do Andreas > Mitoma or hide behind the sofa and hope Mitoma doesn’t run riot?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be making that move before Andreas might drop in 45 mins.

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks the Dom 1. Who would you bench from the current 4 MF?

        Front 3 are Kane, Toney and Haaland

        1. the dom 1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Either of the ARS mids mate. Tough call though.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but need to be prepared to bench Martinelli or Ødegaard

    3. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I would do that move for sure. coinflip on which arsenal mid to bench. good luck.

  23. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you play out if these this GW?

    a. White v FUL (A)

    b. Akanji v CRY (A)

    Cheers

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That’s tough. Literally a coin toss but I’d say Akanji personally

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Akanji as can see Fulham scoring at home v Arsenal

    The prospect that James just might be on penalties making him a temptation- again!

      Not going there again man, too much pain

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years

      Might do a luxury Henry to Reece transfer in 28

    3. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think I will go chill. (well)

  25. Jcal_1
    • 2 Years

    Pinnock or Henry as a replacement for Bueno? Can't afford Mee

    1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …

      coin flip. not much in it.

    G2G?

    Pope
    Shaw, Akanji, Estupian
    Salah, Rashford, Mitoma, Saka
    Kane, Toney, Haaland

    Ward, Andreas, White, Tarkowski

  27. RICICLE

    2 years, 9 months ago

    Hi guys, team for this GW is:

    Ederson
    Trippier - White - Shaw
    Rashford - Salah - Mitoma - Saka
    Haaland - Toney - Darwin
    ___________________________
    Kepa: Odegaard: Schar: Tarkowski

    0FT, 0.2 ITB. Only have FH chip left for GW 29

    Have already done Gnonto > Toney for my FT

    Just wondering if anything else looks worthy of a hit or two considering I only have 2 DGW’ers?

    If getting rid of Tarkowso, it leaves me with exactly 4.5. So maybe Henry?

    Or Ederson + Tarkowski > Raya + Mee? (Have exact funds for this)

    Any ideas help appreciated, thanks gents.

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I presume you mean FH28 otherwise I'd be looking to move a blanker

      If not then Tarko to Henry is a safe move for a hit IMO considering the extra fixtures

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers buddy! No definitely 29, just plan to use FH in that huge DGW, especially when pretty much all other rivals have already wasted theirs.
        Yeah the Henry > Tarko move looks like a safe bet, even with EVE playing in 28.
        Shall probably make this move tomorrow, thanks.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Although it does then give me another benching dilemma, likely just bench White as I’m already benching Ode

          1. Fellaini's Fro
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Definitely would bench white there for Henry. Good luck

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah agreed if going that route.
              Thanks man! GL to you too.

  28. Joyce1998

    Which one?

    A- Mee
    B- Pinnock
