Murray benched as Brighton host strong Bournemouth side

Glenn Murray (£6.4m) has been named on Brighton’s bench for their opening Double Gameweek 34 fixture.

He was captained by just over 100,000 Fantasy managers this week given that the Seagulls have two fixtures to play.

However, Chris Hughton has preferred to leave the veteran striker among the substitutes, selecting Florin Andone (£5.0m) to lead the line instead.

Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m) and Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) are the two options to flank the Romanian international.

All eyes will be on Shane Duffy (£4.8m) now that Son Heung-min (£8.8m) managed just an assist against Huddersfield.

The centre-back was the second-most captained player inside the top 10,000 managers for Double Gameweek 34 and he starts in Brighton’s back-line today.

Alongside Lewis Dunk (£4.4m), he is flanked by Bernardo (£4.2m) and Martin Montoya (£4.3m) in defence.

In central midfield, it’s Yves Bissouma (£4.6m), Davy Pröpper (£4.8m) and Dale Stephens (£4.3m).

Both of them currently yellow-flagged, there was no room in the matchday squad for Pascal Groß (£6.7m) or Solly March (£4.7m).

Bournemouth have named a strong first XI with Josh King (£6.6m), Callum Wilson (£6.6m), Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) and David Brooks (£5.1m) all in the starting XI.

Danny Ings (£5.4m) is back in the side for Southampton as they host Wolves today.

He missed the visit of Liverpool in Blank Gameweek 33 because he was ineligible to face his parent club.

With some Fantasy managers looking to the Saints for Double Gameweek 35 investment, they will be happy to see Nathan Redmond (£5.3m), James Ward-Prowse (£5.1m) and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.4m) in the starting line-up.

After recent tinkering, Nuno Espirito Santo has selected what appears to be his best XI.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) is paired with Diogo Jota (£6.2m) up front, while Matt Doherty (£5.3m) plays on the right of midfield.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Andone, Locadia.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; S Cook, Mepham, Aké; Fraser, Gosling, Lerma, Smith; Brooks, King; Wilson.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett; Gunnarsson, Arter; Hoilett, Camarasa, Murphy; Zohore.

Fulham XI: Rico; Bryan, Le Marchand, Ream, Fosu-Mensah; Cairney, Anguissa, Chambers; Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Babel.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Jagielka, Zouma, Coleman; Gueye, Gomes; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard; Valery, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Bertrand; Sims, Redmond; Ings.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

    Brighton WC fiasco hurts even more when I stripped out Wilson, Fraser and Cook.

      Yep, as did most. Ditched Fraser and Wilson after nothing in BGWs (middle finger emoji) and brought in Duffy. Son(c) at least could’ve been worse, and at least got Lloris over ryan

    So, is Lucas Moura worth getting in if you have 3 Spurs players? Good value and playing ST but perhaps chasing...and he did play Huddersfield.

    Son (C) would have destroyed if he played 90 minutes.

    Bournemouth players were on the beach near to Brighton 😀

    My team is always in such a good shape. And then I use the wildcard which utterly destroys the team. Happens everytime.

      Interestingly only lost 2k rank from the Brighton/Bournemouth debacle. Seems like majority of top 10k sold Bournemouth assets.

        Top 10k average is 16 so that tells you all

      Hughton made a mistake it seems starting both Andone and Locadia. Don't think he will be making that mistake again. Knockaert compounded the error with his stupid red card.

      Can see Gross and Murray coming back in on Tuesday.

      Hey-Zues what a gameweek. I can consider myself lucky -
      1) I nearly went Vardy but compromised and went Deeney but was very nervous for Vardy (c)s
      2) I went Son (c) and Ryan (vc) and that whole situation is.... just... wow I will take the 8 points

      Well, then... Jimenez TC confirmed against THIS Brighton

        Captain Hindsight here, come to tell you you're all idiots for genuinely believing in Brighton after their woeful form. Duffy was a mildly respectable punt but anything beyond was intentionally misguiding yourself.

        1. Gudjohnsen

          Got Ryan because I thought Boruc had lost his place at Bournemouth.

          Most of their woes were away though; they'd only conceded 16 goals 15 home league games this season.

          We'd seen Bournmouth last week ...

          Warnock says that he is "not optimistic" the Cherries can take points from 16th-placed Brighton on Saturday because they "have hit a brick wall".

              Could see rotation now.

            Any chance sterling will be rested against Palace? Got Brooks first on my bench.

            1. tafrère
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 days ago

              70% he's on the bench, but will definitely come into the game if they're not winning.

          3. tafrère
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 days ago

            Eriksen (C) was the right choice after all. Still one game for Duffy to get 4-5-6 points but don't really think he'll do much.

            Doucouré to save my Gameweek now lmao.
