The second of two Premier League matches to take place on an unusually quiet Saturday sees Brighton and Hove Albion and Watford meet at the Amex Stadium.

Kick-off on the south coast is at 17:30 GMT.

Nigel Pearson’s only change to his Watford side from Gameweek 25 sees Will Hughes (£5.3m) come in for Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.4m), who suffered a back spasm against Everton last weekend.

Chalobah is at least fit enough to be among the substitutes but there is no place in the matchday squad for Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m), who misses out again with a muscle problem.

Not one of Watford’s players is owned by more than 5% of Fantasy Premier League managers overall and they boast similar differential status within the top 10,000, with Ben Foster (£4.9m) the most-selected Hornets asset in both cases.

The unfathomable Graham Potter has again sprung more surprises with his teamsheet, making four changes from the 3-3 draw against West Ham United.

Neal Maupay (£5.9m) is still a substitute, however, with Glenn Murray (£5.4m) again leading the line.

Albion’s backline is completely different bar Lewis Dunk (£4.8m), who keeps his place at centre-half.

Shane Duffy (£4.8m), Solly March (£4.6m), Ezequiel Schelotto (£4.0m) and the fit-again Dan Burn (£4.5m) are all recalled, with Martin Montoya (£4.4m), Adam Webster (£4.4m), Bernardo (£4.3m) and the injured Dale Stephens (£4.4m) omitted.

Dunk and goalkeeper Mathew Ryan (£4.9m) both boast double-digit FPL ownerships but the other nine players in Albion’s starting XI are owned by 1% of Fantasy managers or less.

The Seagulls have kept only one clean sheet in their last 14 league games.

Watford have registered six shut-outs in that time, although are on a three-game winless run in the top flight.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Schelotto, Dunk, Duffy, Burn; March, Propper, Mooy, Trossard; Gross; Murray.

Watford XI: Foster; Mariappa, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Capoue, Hughes; Pereyra, Doucouré, Deulofeu, Deeney.

    Alot of passing by Brighton. Not much else

  2. diesel001

    Potter needs to take off Gross and Mooy and bring on Jahanbaksh and Connolly.

      Mooy is too slow for most PL games. Been tried by a number of clubs and failed.

    Goal imminent ...

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      For Watford....

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think Watford will catch them on the counter and then the game will die off

  8. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who is most priority to ditch?

    A) Ryan
    B) Lunds
    C) Martial
    D) Soyuncu

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      WC possible?

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not many changes I’d make in my current team to play a WC, not many options in the game right now too

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A

      Martial is a goal threat. Just bench Soy next GW then play him when the good fixtures come. Lundstram may need to go, but what if he starts tomorrow?

    3. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B if he doesn't start again

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have all and sadly can't find room for Ryan out until gw29. Lundstram if he doesn't start

    5. The Fed
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Relax a little bit about Martial, guy is OOP as a forward, on pens and playing for an attacking top 6 side. Has Watford at home.

      1. Party time
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        “Top 6” - let’s see at the end of the season 🙂

  9. QUEN
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Two best bench defenders?

    Thinking Lascelles and Tanganga if he starts tomorrow

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bavies is back so Tan won't have long. Lascelles all good.

      1. QUEN
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks bud

  10. diesel001

    Alzate on
    Gross off

  11. Bun Rab

    Gross Off
    Alzate on.

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

    such a let down Deulofeu, never ever again will you grace my team

  13. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any sign of an incredible array of peno saves to keep Ryan in my team?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. Ryan doesn't make saves. Lets in pretty much every decent shot on target.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        And even the ones not on target sometimes.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Doucouré (27)
    Capoue (26)
    Foster (25)

  15. Bun Rab

    Jahanbakhsh not playing anymore?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      On the bench.

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      About to come on apparentely.

      • 12 Years

      Because they can't defend

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years

        Yep, good fun.

    Fernandez on 4 YCs, not an issue?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No, Its 10 now i think.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Needs 10 ycs for a ban or do you mean he's prone to getting yellows which eats points? 4 isn't too bad over half a season in

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, no was worried 5th means a suspension

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Brighton haven't created anything.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      They are too slow. Trossard is their best player, but he can't do everything himself.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Way too slow, nobody taking risks

        Awful crosses into the box especially from sheletto

  22. barracuda

    Any news on Traore?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing yet. He went warm weather training so should be ok.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He'll be well prepared for the anticipated heatwave in Wolverhampton next Friday so 😉

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    This is comical defending from brighton

  24. Superballzzz

    Poor game..

    1. Magic Zico

      Agree

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I don’t care that he plays GW 28, Ryan needs to GTFO but for who? Max 4.8m

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    20 minutes for Deeney vs. minimal Brighton defenders.

    Too bad he's not pacey enough for a counter-attack.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      *90 minutes.
