Glenn Murray (£6.4m) has returned to the starting line-up for Brighton.

The veteran forward was left on the bench for the 5-0 defeat Bournemouth on Saturday.

Also back in the side is Pascal Groß (£6.7m), making his first start since Gameweek 28.

After such a devastating result against the Cherries just a few days ago, it looks as if Chris Hughton has reverted to the 4-4-1-1 formation that brought more success for Brighton earlier in the campaign.

Solly March (£4.7m) is another returning face, stationed on the left of midfield, Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) on the opposite flank.

Bruno (£4.4m) comes in at right-back to captain the side, while defensive pair Shane Duffy (£4.8m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.4m) keep their places in the side – as does goalkeeper Mat Ryan (£4.4m).

It is these options where the majority of Fantasy interest lies. 66,000 managers captained Duffy for Double Gameweek 34.

22.72% of those in the top 10,000 form part of that number.

Given that Cardiff have allowed more headed attempts and shots from set pieces in the last six matches, there is every chance that Duffy could nick some attacking returns.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Dunk, Duffy, Bruno; March, Pröpper, Stephens, Jahanbakhsh; Groß; Murray.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bennett; Ralls, Gunnarsson; Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett; Niasse.

    Ajax goal!

    I think advertising must've worked on me. Decided to give the Carabao energy drink a try and it's what I'd imagine carbonated cat piss to taste like. 1/10 at best

    1. Mikeharbrw
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      CARABAO!

  3. NWA

    6 years, 10 months ago

    This year CL final should be Messi vs Ronaldo

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      They deserve it.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ronaldo vs Salah

      1. NWA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        can’t be the sam

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lots of goals if it's just them two playing each other.

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nah Pep vs Klopp

      1. NWA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        City is out tomorrow

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Spurs will bottle it as always. City are super tough at the Etihad.

          1. NWA
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Its deja vu. We have seen it last year vs liverpool

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Not quite LFC blitzed them at Anfield 3 nil. Spurs are up a mere 1 nil and have injury problems. A Spurs cleanie at the Etihad is not happening.

              1. NWA
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 10 months ago

                What I think is not happening is a city clean sheet. I believe spurs will score 1 in a counter (with their current
                form son and lucas will cause them issues) and from there they will park the bus.

                1. Dr Van Nostrand

                  • 10 Years
                  6 years, 10 months ago

                  But the spurs bottlers will concede 3 😉

  4. diesel001

    Brighton 0-1 Cardiff HT

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Cardiff are staying up!

  5. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Let’s go Ajax you can do this love their rise to prominence

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No, Juve deserve to win the CL.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Why?

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Why do Juventus "deserve" to win it ?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah barracuda

  6. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    most nailed watford defender? catchart?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah seems to be “most” nailed. Decent shot potential too actually.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yep wouldn't expect a clean sheet though

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Ajax goal

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Another !!!!!!

  8. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    The referee seems unable to make a decision without having to consult VAR for completely unnecessary reasons. Clearly onside - it wasn't even close.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Is that not the whole point of var

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        When there is absolutely no doubt in the first place (such as both goals in the Juve-Ajax game), why does the referee have to consult?

        Surely VAR room should notify him if there was anything wrong.

  9. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    So many trolls on here these days, they come on and ask a “genuine question” and then vanish. Should stick to twitter like the scouts do

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It is weird the Scouts have deserted here.

      I’m thinking of starting an fpl Twitter next season.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Can see why they go on twitter as easier to filter out the nonsense. @fplflapjack available on Twitter??

    2. Pras (FPL)

      It was his first ever post. We shouldn’t have taken the bait.

      1. Ask Yourself

        What post?

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Just like to try and engage with folk on here but find it harder to get any sort of discussion going

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years

          Ha, some classic FFS right there.

  10. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Great finish by old man Robben

  11. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1-1

    C'mon Ajax

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs backed to make the final? 😛

  12. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Giving some serious thought to either using my FT for this week, or taking a -4, to go Ryan > Foster.

    On bench boost and main keeper for rest of season is Lloris, but it seems likely to at least pay back the -4 as a minimum

  13. Richd
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Brighton goal. The mascots are taking half time pens.

    1. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      lol

  14. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Liverpool vs Ajax final?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Errr Barca?

      Imagine that though lol

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I think we'd have the beating of Barca. I am of course biased though.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      City vs Barcelona IMO.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yep LFC will match this Barca.. not the best Barca from some years back.

  15. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Loving this Ajax team

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pogba sighting.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      How did he escaped YC there

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Who is he going to blame this time

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Ashley Young

  17. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A) Take a -8 and play BB GW35
    B) Hold and play BB in GW36/38

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B

  18. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A) Ryan + Laporte + Bednarek
    B) Ederson + Cathcart + Dunk

    Which is better?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Both are dreadful, no other choice?

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        No this is for BB I currently have Ryan Dunk and Duffy

    2. NWA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      anything involving a brighton defender is not the right option

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Both have a Brighton defender/GK

        1. NWA
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          which is my point get rid of both

  19. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Imagine Brighton playing away to Wolverhampton in a few days......

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ryan 12 saves, two pen saves. Duffy goal 0-1.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        😉

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Jimenez captain

    3. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Jiminez captain?

    4. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      The same Wolves that couldn't score in 2 games against Huddersfield, there's always hope

    5. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'm captaining Duffy for the rest of the season until he gets me a haul. He owes me.

      1. NWA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        ahahaha. unless you dont care about ur OR i think u should do it

    6. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      & Spurs 😉

    7. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It's got me seriously considering Jiminez TC over a bench boost filled with dross like Duffy and Ryan.

  20. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Barca still at the infamous surrounding the ref waving an imaginary card antics.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yes should have been a card but you should be carded immediately for asking for a card for another player

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        It's poor sportsmanship, and undermining the referee's abilities.

        I have no time for it at all.

  21. Indalo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Deeney replacement options:

    A) Gray (rotation risk?)
    B) Ings (rotation risk)
    C) Llorente (not guaranteed a start)

    Not great options are they :/

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rondon

  22. bhh
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    After the abysmal performance this week I may place a self-imposed ban on owning Brighton players from next season (if it's even necessary.) They can't be trusted!

  23. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    De Gea
    Pereira VVD Dunk
    Salah Richarlison Maddison Mane
    Wilson Higuain Rondon

    BB - Gunn Son Doherty Bednarek

    A Pereira, Richarlison & Higuain > Cathcart, KDB & Jimenez -8
    Or
    B Maddison, Richarlison & Higuain > Delefeou, KDB & Jimenez -8

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Why?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Its better than B

  24. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Cardiff!!!

    Now what I must do with Duffy?

    🙂

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I can't believe experienced FPL players actually captained Duffy

    One of the golden rules of FPL...... Never captain a defender nevermind a defender who plays for a relegated threatened team

    What were they thinking off

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      🙂

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Majority of people here have been stuck at the same rank for months now and are tremendously bored

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        It has brought a slight bit of entertainment to the game

      2. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        And they're still at the same rank, or worse now.

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I didn't feel I had an obvious captain... 2 home games. needed a gamble to break into top 1k... backfired. would gamble again next time tbh

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      One off opportunity.
      Would do it again.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah , despite the results was a fair decision. Brighton were hardly that bad going into the gw, coming out though a shambles

    5. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Risk/Reward probably led them to it. The thinking was that he would definitely get one clean sheet, which would be the same as a striker with one goal. The clean sheet was more likely than any goal but its blown up in their faces as it turns out Brighton are trash

    6. Numb
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I am asking myself the same thing

  26. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Fred must be the worst brazilian to have played football.. after Lucas Leiva

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      what about anderson the one that used to play for united

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yep.. and Bebe

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Such a bad Brazilian he is Portuguese

        2. Rash
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          He was portugese

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Lucas was much better than you're making out. He was liverpool's player of the year one season. He took a while to settle in fairness but was far from a bad player.

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kleberson?

  27. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pogba is appalling!!! Not sure he is really the "big match" player he is made to show by the TV pundits!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      He is.. but on Instagram

      1. KGFC
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        True mate... Just hope he is offloaded in the summer .. more of a burden!

  28. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pogba = French Milivojevic who's a part time hairdresser

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      you think he cuts his own hair?

  29. Hughes Your Daddy

    Come on Cardiff, come on Ajax!!

  30. Hect.OR 98th

    Tragic. Four players in tonight's game and I've 4 points from them at HT. My WC better pay off next week.

    1. diesel001

      Triple Brighton and Camarasa?
