Brighton and Hove Albion’s budget defensive options could attract some long-term Fantasy Premier League attention very soon.

The Seagulls recently recorded their first clean sheet of 2018/19 in Gameweek 8, which was well-timed with them ascending to second place for defence on our Season Ticker over the next 13 matches.

We’ve decided to look into the numbers to see if Chris Hughton’s men can be trusted with what, on the surface, looks like an extended run of favourable fixtures.

        i've the exact money to do kane bernardo silva to lacazette and sterling 🙂
        any 0.1 rise will destroy my plan 🙂

      great team, i will have 4 different in my starting 11, who is your (c)?

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Haven't thought about it - Sterling or Kun.

    2. LD
      • 8 Years

      I really like it

    3. I Member

      Very nice.

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No Liverpool attack could hurt you though.

        1. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If Salah is out then there is no one worth getting? I've watched alot of Liverpool and Mane isn't worth getting imo, he's looked invincible in most games and is lucky to have gotten the points he's gotten.

          Salah has still looked threatening and he'll be in my team for Sterling if fit.

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Maybe but you'd still expect them score a few against Huddersfield, Cardiff and Fulham.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Firmino 😉

              1. I Member
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Hoping he can repeat what he did for me last season.

          2. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            invincible or invisible?

            1. JasonG123
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Haha which do you think...

          3. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            This is what Mane wants you to think, then bam, 2 goals and an assist.

            1. JasonG123
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              I guess if Salah is out he'll be Liverpool's Main man.

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    who is (c) Sterling?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going Aguero but Sterling is a great option too.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        yeh i will have both in my team depending on Salah's fitness, if i get Sterling i will (C) him.

    2. Rust Cohle

      Great play

  4. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Have a troll second team which I took a -12 today and brought in Sterling in Sane...Sane(c) next week to push to top 10 in Tuvalu?

  5. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a serious note, here is my actual team. Anything worth a hit here?

    Ederson
    Alonso - Robbo - Mendy
    Haz - Mane(c) - Ozil - Fraser
    Aguero - Mitro - Ings

    Hamer - S. Cook - Guendouzi - AWB
    1.4 ITB

    Have the exact amount to do Ings -> Arnie or Ozil -> KDB.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not much worth a hit but Ozil is a slight issue, and ballsy capping Mane over Kun but could very well work out.

      If you were gonna take a hit, i'd leave KDB until he actually starts and see howhe is, Ings > Arnie is good.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, good to go. Ings has a better fixture than Arnie this week and I'd like to see KDB start a game before bringing him in.

    Liverpool saying injury “not serious” and “just a strain”. Wouldn’t rule out Salah playing this GW

  11. Mooster©️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) DSilva->Sterling
    B) Shaw->Mendy

    Which transfer would you do?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B, avoiding MUN

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably get Mendy in terms of the upgrade on Shaw.

      Clean sheet and at least an assist could easily be on the cards for him.

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years

    McCarthy, Patricio, Salah, shaw, ward owner. Not looking good.

    1. noquarternt

      Great time to wildcard

          • 10 Years

          Uh oh. Guess a few hits to spread Salah cash and ensure you've got an 11 to play?

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years

            1. noquarternt
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah, guess there's a lesson to learn here about early transfers and international breaks?

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Wait, what happened to Patricio??

    3. Klein

    4. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What is it with Patricio???

  13. noquarternt
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would love some concrete Salah news.

    If nothing I guess Salah-> Sterling/Mané gonna be huge.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully in Klopp's presser on Fri

  14. Klein
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Ryan + Balbuena
    B) Fab + Duffy

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same same.

      If you Brighton will get any attacking the Duffy. If ypu think they'll keep a couple CS, then Ryan as he is in the baps when they do

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *think

      You are confused mate

  18. Jafalad
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    So anyone investing in BHA? Ryan is the only vaguely interesting to me.

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Had Ryan/Button since I sold DDG very quickly, not sure I want to double up on their defence, although Duffy looks decent value.

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The big value I believe is in the Wolves D. I'm thinking of a triple up: Pat, Boly and Doherty.

      2. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        How about Fab + Duffy?

        1. Klein
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I am confused between fab and duffy or ryan and balbuena

  19. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who is the best GK in WC?

    1.Patricio(Have Doherty and Bennet so No)
    2.Ryan ( great fixtures but don't know if Brighton will keep much Cleansheets)
    3.Fabianski ( current keeper. Good fixtures after 2 weeks. My preferred choice)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fab offers more save points even if not keeping a clean sheets do I would stick with him.

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1 and 3 both good options. Seems like you know who you want though so I’d go with Fabianski. Nothing worse than not choosing the player you really want because of different opinions on here only to see that player flourish.

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Completely agree. I planned to keep Fab and asked this question to see if there is a convincing reason to chose other options which I missed

        Cheers. Fab it is.

        1. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not to say people don’t give good advice though. But yeah I’m in same boat, on WC and have owned fab all season. But I might switch to Patricio myself if I’m being honest lol !

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2 is just not good enough

      Fabianski will do the job, consistently getting saves pts and occasional CS hauls will help him ticking. Even during this rough spell, he has managed to score almost 4ppg.

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. Exactly my thoughts
        And we can get Duffy from Brighton if they show improved defensive performance. Don't see any WH defender worth getting. So Fab should the best fit

    4. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm staying with Fab

  20. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Finally got 0.1 back from King, one more price rise to go... 😛

    Now if only Mendy could rise couple of time, will be handy on WC.

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ha ha.. Look back. I am sitting behind you in King boat. With a happy face!

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        😀

  21. Klein
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any ufc today? Cant find anything in tv

  22. Farke in hell
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Of all the Liverpool assets, their defense looks most lucrative at the moment. I'm considering doubling up Robertson-Alisson. Salah (if he is fit) would be the third. Thoughts?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would go TAA for Liverpool double up. Cheaper than Alisson and more points potential.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would have been my preferred trio if I was on WC

  23. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If Salah is out for a while, best replacement out of Sterling and Mane?

    Sterling has the better underlying stats for a better team that won’t be missing their best attacking player.

    Mane is cheaper, has better fixtures and is likely on pens with Milner out

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mane might do well in absence of Salah but Sterling as of now.

      KDB could be a decent alternative.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Too early for KDB imo. And I think Sterling will outscore him anyway. Have just enough for Salah -> Sterling this week and ASmith -> Robbo next week. Quite tempting that if Salah is out for a bit.

  24. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any 4.0 keepers are second choice for their club? (Except Hamer)

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Button I guess

    Thoughts?

    Begovic Foster
    Alonso Robbo Trippier Bennett AWB
    Salah Haz Walcott Fraser Hoj
    Aguero Arnie Wilson

    1FT 0.0 itb

    Thinking of downgrading trips so I have more wiggle room with funds and can upgrade my bou assets when their fixtures turn

      Looks like some repair needed. Foster Bego Wally.

      Yeah I would sacrifice Trippier for getting a better team

    WC latest draft

    Fabianski
    Alonso Robertson Doherty
    Hazard Maddison Richa Mane
    Aguero Lacazette Mitrovic

    Hamer Bennet AWB Stephens 0.0 itb

    Slowly i am settling into the final version. May be Laca to King/Arnie and Dave money for Mane upgrade (Salah /Sterling /KDB) would be the only change.

      Looks pretty good

      1. EMERGING STAR

        What to do with Lacazette? He will keep the good run right? Fixtures are getting tougher

        1. Eze Really?

          He worries me too. Conversion rate ridiculous and won't keep it up I think

          1. EMERGING STAR
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Probably keep for 2 weeks and ger Arnie. My plan

    2. Eze Really?

      Looking at identical side but I have Fab cover. Got away with Hennessy.
      I must have a bit more money as I have Fraser and Fab not Hamer and Stephens

        Nice.

        Yeah did not care much about team value. Lost on Stephens, King and did not get into early bandwagons (Mitro, Maddy, Kun)

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I got Kun due to danger factor and paid off. Went just as wromg though with Kane so it evens out.

    Van Dijk and Wjnaldum scored for Netherlands against Germany.

    We are all picking the wrong pool players!!!

      No Salah or Mané in Oranje....

    Patricio news: 13th Oct 2018

    https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/selecao/artigos/rui-patricio-dispensado-da-selecao-portugal-pode-apurar-se-para-as-meias-da-liga-das-nacoes-este-domingo

    My wife can speak Portuguese and this report speaks of Patricio being sent home due to 'physical complaints' and 'for precaution'.

    Maybe another Portuguese speaker with a better understanding of football can gain more from it.

      There was a discussion here earlier from someone speaking Portuguese. He said the same thing. So yeah, hoping for more news to come
