    In my heart of hearts I wanted to captain either of my two Brighton midfielders.

    Didn't go for March as despite the match-ups, don't love that niggle he's carrying.

    Didn't go for Mitoma as prior to the West Ham game I was disappointed looking at his numbers) despite being good on the eye).

      Went with Mitoma.

      Slightly better attacking team, playing vs (imo) easier to score teams, and one of the games is at home.
      Also, there is always that extra cs and goal point. I'll take 0-0 vs Leeds and 1-0 Mitoma goal vs Palace. He also seems a bonus magnet.
      And last but not least, I think in my five years of playing FPL, I never captained Brighton player, so that adds another level of excitement for me

        feels like it could have a huge upside but it rarely works out going first game, and its a double week for other teams which will compond the pain if it goes wrong.

    This BBC story has all the ingredients to run and run...

    Not least the BBC talking about its favourite subject... the BBC.

      They realy shot themselves in the foot with this saga & bowing down to government pressure

        I think they thought the woke backlash and anti BBC and Linekar agendas would be good for a general election divisive issue.

        I'm pretty sure those people weren't voting for Starmer anyhow, so they're just getting more populist and nationalist at each step.
