It is the Fantasy Premier League differentials on offer in the second match of Double Gameweek 26.

Despite playing just once over the next few days, Brighton are the more popular outfit in this match, Lewis Dunk (£4.9m) starting the match with 5.6% ownership.

Robert Sánchez (£4.5m) is another leading figure as the Seagulls travel to West Bromwich Albion although on 3.0% of Fantasy managers currently rely on the goalkeeper.

2.8% are still invested in Neal Maupay (£6.1m) who leads the line today, accompanied by an out-of-position Leandro Trossard (£5.7m).

It looks as if Graham Potter has gone with a back-four for the visit to the Hawthorns, with Dan Burn (£4.2m) and Joël Veltman (£4.3m) in the left and right-back positions either side of Dunk and Ben White (£4.4m).

Meanwhile, Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) is the most fashionable starting Baggies option today sat in 1.8% of teams.

Ahead of facing two fixtures, the midfielder has a goal and assist in his last two at home.

Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) has been a much-discussed asset in the build-up to Double Gameweek 26 and starts up-front for the fourth-successive Premier League match.

He is inside the top-four among all players for minutes per expected goal involvement (xGI) over the last four matches but only 0.8% of Fantasy managers are invested in the forward.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) is also on the radar even though just 0.6% of managers possess the Arsenal loanee.

He is deployed out of position once again today, operating on the right-hand flank of West Brom’s attacking midfield trio.

Double Gameweek 26 Line-ups

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-2-3-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, Bartley, O’Shea, Furlong; Yokuslu, Gallagher; M Phillips, M Pereira, Maitland-Niles; Diagne.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-4-2): R Sánchez; Burn, Dunk, White, Veltman; Connolly, Mac Allister, Bissouma, Groß; Maupay, Trossard.

Double Gameweek 26 so far…

Another Double Gameweek, another attacking haul for Manchester City’s centre-backs.

João Cancelo (£6.1m) watched Saturday’s lunch-time kick-off in dismay as Pep Guardiola benched him for the first time since Gameweek 21.

And his absence from the team, which lasted the whole game, made goals for Ruben Dias (£6.1m) and John Stones (£5.2m) all the more painful for the Portuguese international’s 26.6% ownership.

Cancelo was named on Manchester City’s bench alongside Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Phil Foden (£6.1m), although the latter made it on for the second period.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m) were the providers for the Citizens’ two goals while Ilkay Gundogan (£6.2m) continued his run of matches without an attacking return to three before coming off in the 89th minute.

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gross miscalculation. should have written the figures below the bar not on it.

  11. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years

    Newcastle fans breathing again for now...

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years

    Gross misconduct

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      😀

  13. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    That doesn’t count as a save does it

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Unless we count all misses as saves, then no

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Of course not

  14. Chandler Bing
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Johnstone gets no points for that pen miss, right?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2. MoSalad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not in a zillion years

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

      Gets to keep the CS for the moment.

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    lol Brighton 😀

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ha

  16. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dunk would have scored that.

  17. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    If Brighton go down, you could fairly say they blew it themselves

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If it's by a point or so, let the Palace lads rake the credit. I'm sure they'll have have the honour.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, they really look a decent side but they clearly have a severe, potentially fatal, allergy when it comes to scoring.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      At some point they can't call themselves unlucky, it becomes bad players coaching and management. This deep into the season they're definitely at the point where I don't think oh they were unlucky to not score after dominating

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed

        Guaita only had to make 4 saves last week. Most of them were from one goal line scramble.

        Really poor attack. Pretty midfield.

  18. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton defence have 2 really useful fixtures in BGWs 29 and 33 against Newcastle and SHU. Otherwise a sea of red.

  19. JBG
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    F off Burn and Brighton. Good defensively, yeah right.

  20. Napoleon IV
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I think goalies should get the point credits when a player misses the target on a penalty. it's a psychological game more than anything, especially at that level, and if a penalty taker has missed the target then the keeper should get the credit for doing enough to put him off taking a good penalty.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He didn’t though. Gross apparently finds it difficult to just run up to the ball and kick it on target. Decided to do some odd Peruvian fertility dance en route which simply made things harder for himself.

  21. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    WBA taking full advantage of ... the sun.

  22. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    DUNKY!

  23. MoSalad
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Sceenneessss madness!

    1. MoSalad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Could it be offside?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        How is he interfering? Not in line of sight

      2. MoSalad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Wow Ref blew his whistle twice this is crazy

  24. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    corruption all over... what a joke this ref is.

  25. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Apparently OK for Brighton but not Southampton .... consistent

  26. tiger

    Chaos created by Mason

  27. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    offside Maupay blocking vision.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Absolute nonsense

  28. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Embarrassing moment for Lee Mason.

    I think VAR must have told him to allow the goal to stand and rightly so.

  29. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I love a quick free kick

  30. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    Carnage at West Brom .... absolutely shambolic ...
