Fantasy focus switches to Jiménez as Brighton host Wolves

The Fantasy Premier League focus switches to Raúl Jiménez (£7.6m) in Sunday’s final match.

The Wolves forward was the most-sold player for Gameweek 16, losing 220,000+ owners ahead of today’s trip to Brighton.

That was despite recording seven attacking returns in his last eight Premier League outings.

Naturally, he starts once again for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, flanked in the 3-4-3 system by Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.2m).

Meanwhile, Aaron Connolly (£4.7m) is absent for Brighton today, having picked up a knock midweek.

“He just had a knock, a bit like a dead leg. He’s had a few games as well this game just came around too quickly for him.” – Graham Potter

Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) comes into the side, while Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.4m) are also in the starting line-up.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Alzate; Pröpper, D Stephens; Trossard, Mooy, Groß; Maupay.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

    Sorta having buyer's remorse about going Lacazette to Rashford already... was it a solid move?

    Means I can't get Son without selling KDB (or downgrading Jimenez to fodder, Pulisic to Grealish and switching formation with Dendo to Son)...

    Can still just about get Alli in though

      Depends on tomorrow.

        Not really, I'd have sold Lacazette regardless - just hope for a parting hattrick 🙂 but I'm insure whether Rashford was the right choice or just the popular choice.

        Maybe should've gone for Mousset/Ayew bench option and switched formation to 352 (can't afford Ings if I want Son)

          -4 sorts that out.

            No point in ditching Rashford before he's even played, if that's what you're suggesting. and idk where else id get the money

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Better combos are worth -4

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I am thinking laca to Tammy as Tammy looks essential. Having said that rash looks superb as well. But the money i get i can do krul to guaita next week. (Have pope also)

  2. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed. Just want some opinions on owning both Guaita and Kelly - betting too much on Palace?

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Guess 1 is enough. Spread the risk.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Then I need another sub-4.5 defender if I want to upgrade Mousset to a Maupay/Jota/Ings. I already have Rico.

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          In thar case get Kelly.

        2. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Take Soy

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They are only ones keeping CS outside top 2

    3. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      3 games ago would have been lovely, decided then for just the 1. Certainly would take Robbo/taa place gw18 and Leicester defender gw19, Lund in 20

  3. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Now all the strikers are performing. Gone are the days of heavy midfield.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Midfielders are performing though, i don’t get it.

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Fairly happy with 44 from my 5

    4. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I feel like theres more options this season than the prevoius few

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      What's wrong with the midfielders?

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Didn't Jota start poorly last season and start returning around now?

  5. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jotta back

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Would you do this for a -4? Have exact cash so would do it tonight.

    Mendy, Martial & Xande Silva > Soy, Hayden & Tammy

    Current team
    2FT 0ITB

    Pope

    Button Mendy Rico Xande Silva

    1. The Ejiptian King

        You’re the most underrated poster on here mate you’ll be famous soon

          His Grav and Username was always a giveaway

  8. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Play two of these Soy, Kelly, Lundstram?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Kelly

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Soy & Kelly for me. SHU clean sheets seem to have dried up...

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        But villas defense Lund can get some attacking returns though - today he was unlucky

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Soy and Lund

    4. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      defo soy, prolly lund for attacking returns

      1. fgdu
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        i reckon you'll maybe get 1 cs out of lund/kelly, more likely 0

    5. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers, so Soy & one of the others....Kelly did well for mr this week.
      Lundstrams points have dropped off a cliff?

    6. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lundstram nearly scores every game, scored again today but narrowly dissalowed

  9. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anything worth a hit? 0.3 ITB, probably go Pope -> Ryan next week?

    Pope
    TAA, Soyuncu, Kelly
    KDB, Mane, Son, Alli
    Rashford, Vardy, Ings

    (Woodman, Lundstram, Cantwell, Simpson)

    Cheers.

  10. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Still not convinced with Jota. Been fortunate to get two goals. The rest of his game has been trash

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah but worth monitoring

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I mean he should have a hattrick, not much to complain about.

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very much like Vardy then.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Brother ! Long time no see. I appear to find myself right up the top now, how you keeping this season these days?

  11. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Held Jota for 5 weeks. Dumped him this GW. Typical.

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      hahahahaha

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not cool.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think you've had fair jam this week, cant win em all

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        What jam?

    3. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just like Az.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Brighton most chances conceded last 4 😮

  12. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison OUT
    Martial IN
    after the Leicester Norwich game
    And bring madderson back when the schedule turns good?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't seem worth it

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martial is always injured and never gets bonus. Not worth it.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This was tempted too

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bigger games will be more open for leics for attacking returns imo

    4. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martial is a trap. Injury prone and always gets subbed off early

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maddy scores from set pieces so no

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Horrible. Leicester are better than City and will give Pool a close game.

  13. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of taking a hit to drop Jimenez > Rashford and can't decide on the other player to take out. Thinking Soy, Aurier, Ings or Pulisic

    Pope
    TAA - Soy - Lund
    Son - KDB - Mane - Pulisic
    Vardy - Jimenez - Ings

    Button - Aurier - Cantwell - Rico

    Thoughts?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier if you're not playing him I guess.

  14. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Feels mad to get rid of Ings after 5 goals in a row with 2 (arguably even 4) more good fixtures, but I've got a free transfer to burn and exact change for Rashford. Vardy and Abraham going nowhere. Likely to do TAA to Kelly this week or next as well so money won't actually be an issue.

    Thoughts?

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      don't break a good scoring team.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I think Rashford is definitely likely to outscore or at least match Ings in the coming weeks. My hesitation is the value in Ings, which is incredible.

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ings matching Rasher so far, not worth it.

    3. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      id probably keep him, and you want taa for watford definitely

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ya ideally I'll keep him for that.

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hold, next 2 , at worst they probs score the same next 2

  15. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundstram becoming bench fodder at this rate

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Or sell and take the money and run

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He should have had a goal and assist today...

  16. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan and Guaita are playing each other and I own both - who gets the nod?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Guita

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Homer.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The team that literally only set out to keep CS no matter who they play against

  17. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who cores more this gw?
    Pulisic BOU H
    or Martial EVE H

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      *scores

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully Puli

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic, so due, start you f...er

  18. Rainer

    Has Jota absolutely STUNNED the Scoutcast crew?

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years

      more like Kane

    2. TorresMagic™

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Same.

        People saying Jonty sold Kane. Munday & Az sold Jota.

        Rough!

        All got rid of Kane...

  20. Salah’s Sonnet

    Anyone booting Lundstram out? I’m tempted

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bought him for 4m, so hes staying for the whole season

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      nope, bigger fish to fry.

    3. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He's gonna get a YC in GW17 and so will miss the crucial GW18 for sure

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dont know actually, maybe still not, too high ownership and he should have more returns in future

    5. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Waste to even consider such a move

    6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah when he gets 5th yellow

    7. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Got at 5m, selling for Kelly and having 0.8m to spend is tempting...

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Look how close he was to an assist today: https://youtu.be/vr5_FmIAABQ?t=144

    9. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers for responses guys, was very close to an assist, suppose it would be a waste of a transfer with better ones to commit to

  22. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jimenez unlucky with just one assist. Hope he can score a goal himself, he will have at least one good chance in the second half.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years

      yep set up two big chances but ryan made 2 good saves

    GTG for GW17?

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    Alli Son Mane Mount
    Rash Vardy Tammy

    Woodman Kelly Tomori Cantwell

    Want to play Kelly but don’t see who else to bench?

    Cap Mane or Vardy?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Brighton cud score against palace imo - last two clean sheets were vs Bou and Watford who have been dire lately

  25. doppelganger

    What do you think about this? 2FT
    KDB + Connoly -> Zaha/Grealish + Tammy.

    Schmeichel Pope
    Pereira TAA Lundstram Aurier Rico

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years

        2. Sloane426
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Played 2 years. Finished 23k and then last season inside top 1k. Pretty simple game if you watch football unlike that Brosstan idiot.

          1. Sloane426
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Currently OR 300k but teams perfect and will always finish inside top 50k

            • 9 Years

            Its not unheard of that casuals get some good results in their first couple season and it goes to their heads.
