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.

      Of ff.... hold on, never had him. Why am I getting upset. 😀

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

        Likely has a negative effect on LEI owners, like Barnesy

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      As expected

  2. Free Hat

    I would love to hear the explanation from referees after the game.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      ‘Sun was in my eyes’

    2. deathcabofdevil
      • 12 Years

      "We're sh#te but we don't want to admit it, so we will insert some random explanation with baby noises"

  3. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So here's what happened

    Ref blows the whistle to allow Brighton to take the freekick assuming Dunk will wait for wba keeper to set himself, Dunk hears the whistle and thinks free goal for me and shoots. Ref realising he's let Brighton take a free kick before wba keeper is even ready panics and blows the whistle a second time while the ball is in midair

    VAR check was to see whether ball had crossed the line before second whistle was blown

    Madness!

    1. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Well I learned a new rule today

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        What rule is that? Lol it was the wrong decision

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Not so new. Are you old enough to remember the English referee in a World Cup who blew full time as Brazil were taking a corner? He blew up between the corner being taken and the ball sailing into the goal.

        1. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Brazil Sweden, right?

          Madness.

        2. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Yeah it was clive Thomas (welsh).

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      it's a nonsense

      The WBA should be ready to play to the whilst. What does Dunk have to wait for him to be ready.

      Why is Johnstone not ready - working on his Phd thesis or making a cappucino?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I'm with you, just saying what happened

    3. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      But him blowing the whistle indicates start of play, why does he feel the need to blow the whistle to tell dunk to wait? Dunk is already waiting to hear the whistle to take the kick...he heard it and scored. It’s a good goal

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        My guess is refs are getting kaned left right and centre these days and he panicked thinking in a vital relegation match I've let a free goal go in basically by not waiting for Johnstone to set himself before blowing the whistle

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I agree completely he knows he messed up but that’s not Brighton’s fault, they played to the whistle and scored a fair goal. Are the refs now just allowed to change rules on the go? What a shambles lol

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Agreed, Brighton wrongly punished because mason can't control a football match

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

            Sounds like what politicians do to citizens when they try to be happy.

      Audio Assisted Referee IN

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

        Lmao! Aar!

    6. deathcabofdevil
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Then why give the goal before going to VAR ?

      English refs are too arrogant to admit they mess up on a weekly basis. About time they should bring in foreign refs if they want to retain any little sanctity remaining in the league.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Probably because he thought he'd blown the second one too late? I'm not sure I'm not defending him I'm just examining what happened

    7. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No wonder none of these refs manage to ref the big tournaments

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Clear goal, the referee is an amateur

    9. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      is it feasible the ref didnt know whether Dunk had kicked the ball before the whistle, maybe he hadn't been watching Dunk when he kicked it ?
      Just a thought, I haven't seen it

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

        See it.

    10. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Normally referees take a few steps back and do a bit of posturing to indicate to the keeper that they are ready to blow - not a rule I know, but otherwise the keeper has no idea.

      I think Lee realised his whistle blow was too stealthy to allow this, hence giving an unfair advantage to the attacker. Imagine if every ref did that - keepers would no longer be able to organise their wall.

      Whilst it's not a rule, I think he brought it back in the spirit of fair play.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This, he was correcting his own mistake but none of it is Brighton's fault

  4. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    On the Brighton (missed) pen whose cross led to the handball?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Burn header hit raised hand.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks.

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

      McAlister iirc

  5. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    The same scenario last week with Saints was frustrating but I kind of got it.

    This time though it’s borderline cheating. If Brighton lose today and god forbid get relegated by a few points. I’d get the lawyers involved.

    Day light robbery

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

      I agree.
      I own and are playing Dunk btw.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Villa stayed up cause GLT wasn’t turned on for their 1st half vs Sheffield United - it’ll go nowhere.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yup...but funny how VAR couldn’t intervene there but can now decide when the whistle was blown...we might as well sack all the refs and just call the game via computer screens if we keep VAR because they have completely lost the ability to think for themselves and take responsibility for their decisions

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          The whistle rules makes sense it’s the incompetent fool with the whistle that’s the issue.

    3. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed! Not a Brighton supporter but hate seeing the terrible standard of referring in the PL, at least the saints one he didn’t blow the whistle which makes it slightly better, this was terrible

    4. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      This should also be the end of Lee Masons career. For at least this season anyway.

      Making mistakes is allowed but if in any other workplace you make huge **** ups you get handed your notice.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Was it gross misconduct?

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Who they going to sue?

      How about Sheffield United v Villa and the missed goal last season

  6. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    This Pereira 3 point return is banked unless Brighton score. No way are WBA going to attack.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      There's always OG

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hope WBA stay and Newcastle are sent in second division. Also Fulham are playing excellent lately

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think Baggies have given themselves too much to do. Fulham are just one win behind Newcastle.

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

      So which 3 go down?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Right now I'd tip Blades, Baggies and Cashley's Toon.

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

          Seems logical but if WBA get wins at Palace and Newcastle in the next 2 weeks - quite possible after all - they are right in the game.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Yeh. Brighton need clear water as their final fixtures are awful - bottom of the ticker. Newcastle finish with Sheff U and Fulham - interesting!

        2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          This

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

      WBA are boring as f !
      They'll go down deservedly

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

      WBA and Alladyce need sending to non league

  8. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How’s Diagne doing, folks?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Is he playing?

      1. Grounderz
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Feck, quiet night for him then.

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

          He's got 1 good chance.

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      As an owner i am disgusted with him, lazy and doesnt run much.

      Painful to watch WBA plays... Now i understand why pple are giving this game a miss.

      1. Grounderz
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I actually bought him in for an unexpected punt because I was 0.1m short of funds for Harry Kane.

  9. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton getting lots and lots of chances and not scoring, shock horror

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

    I heard the rumour that the Zambian Witch Doctor hates Brighton.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably the whole of Zambia

  11. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Guys Diass and stones will get 2 bps right?

    1. Kodap
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      yes

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

      Looks like it

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

      Stones may get 3 with the winning goal baps?

      1. robredo10
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Already been added

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

          Oh OK

    4. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Have been saying it for a few seasons now - if they played without a ball, they wouldn’t have any of these issues.

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

      lol i'd be a starter for barcelona if this happened. I score screamers from midfield every time

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

    The Everton WBA fixture seems a bit more live if WBA get 3 points here

  14. Flair
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    AMN should have scored there. LR's BB would have been paid off on that alone

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Whose assist was it?

      1. Flair
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Theeeeeee Diagne

  15. thegaffer82
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Wow. Just got back from house hunting to see good old Stonesy has only gone and notched again.

    I left the house not happy after the Dias goal (Guy behind me in ML has him). But all is okay in the world again now!

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Putting an offer in?

  16. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Need to sell one of my ManC players to do Rash-> Kdb.

    Cancelo or Gundo out?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on your incoming second player

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cancelo -> Dunk
        Gundo -> Fodder

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Probably B, especially if you could get a player from GW29.(unless you've a FH then get a SOU player)

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks

  17. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Burn assist and a Dunk goal cancelled due to sh*t penalty and incompetent ref. BB going down the drain.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Conflating 2 separate things?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah. I have both Burn and Dunk on the bench on a BB. Wasn't expecting much before kickoff, but right now I'm fuming.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Unlucky.

  18. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Just saw the disallowed goal, this is one of the most stupid moments in PL history.

  19. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I can't deal with how bad our refs are. Just so embarrassing.

  20. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Just seen the incident, i'm still confused..

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ref 2nd whistle blow before ball is over the line cancelled the play, retake.

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

        Since when ref started blowing whistle to stop FK to allow GK to position himself ?
        WBA were caught and goal should have stood IMO

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ref had Johnstone in his team.

  21. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dunk on bench boost.. Fuming

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

      Same!

  22. Mid budget coach
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ref didn't look at the goalkeeper to see if he was ready. That mistake was on the Ref and not on Dunk.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A shambles of masons own making, none of the players to blame

      1. Mid budget coach
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He is probably flipping the rule book to cook up some wild excuse during halftime

  23. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Were they not at some point checking that a player in an offside position was interfering with keepers line of sight?

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

      They were to save their face ❗

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

      No that excuse doesn’t work either. Clearly Maupay is nowhere near his line of sight

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Im not making excuses im trying to analyse it

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

          No I know - from their side. Apparently he blew the whistle but blew it AGAIN before the ball went in the net. Shambles.

    3. Pommie22
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It did look that way at first, but then that would have resulted in free kick to WBA .That was probably VAR clutching at straws trying to cover up Mason's failing.

  24. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    This ref wont ref another game in the Prem after today. Straight up mistake

      He was already removed after his ridiculous red card decisions. Curious why he’s been reinstated honestly.

      Nuno has already got into trouble saying he's not good enough to referee in the Premier League this season.

        this game confirms it

      There would be no refs if that was the case

    Chances of Lee Mason getting dropped ?

    If a player did such a rookie mistake he would immediately be dropped to the bench. If a manager did an amateur mistake, he would be sacked immediately. So what's stopping the FA on punishing their employee? Is it because they match the incompetence of FA ?

      It's the Premier League, not FA.

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

        Which is governed by the FA. So where's the mandate on relegating poor referees just the way they relegate the bottom 3 teams every year to the Championship ?

          They do.

          To the EFL.

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

      He was dropped for his VAR antics in sending two players off wrongly. Why was he brought back?

        Corruption and politics in FA

    Maupay clear candidate for worst starting striker in the league.

    4 goals all season if you delete penalties

      It’s not as if Brighton don’t create chances. They’re a really good football side playing behind a donkey

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

        Yeah Fulham seem to have solved this problem. West Brom have tried. Brighton got Welbeck.

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Karma got him when he did a penenka v United, then celebrated like a kid playing FIFA. Down hill since the rat

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Was a differential pick earlier on in the season.

    4. deathcabofdevil
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe that's why he can't earn as much wages as Guenduozi.

    If Brighton go down, it won't be because Lee Mason disallowed the Dunk FK 'goal' vs WBA. It will be because they miss penalties and big goalscoring chances (such as against Crystal Palace)

    If the players and the manager hide behind a refereeing decision, then you have to question their resolve. The players and the manager have to take responsibility for the fact Brighton can't score goals.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe then they’ll realise that Maupay and Connolly leading the attack simply isn’t good enough

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

      if Brighton lose this game, it'll be Lee Mason's fault

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If it finishes 1-0 you can’t blame Lee Mason. Brighton are just rubbish if they can’t score v WBA

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Nonsense, they've had chances and a penalty. They wouldn't even score the freekick if mason hadn't messed up and blown the whistle early in the first place

    3. deathcabofdevil
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn't justify referees disallowing obvious goals which should stand. If Brighton can't score goals, then it makes it even worse.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 5 months ago

        But the obvious goal was because the ref made a mistake in the first place, 99.999% of the time refs don't blow the whistle while a keeper is setting himself

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

          Doesn't matter if it's in the rules it's an obvious goal.

          Refs hide behind the rules a lot of times to justify non-sensical decisions. They are equally liable to take the heat if they meesed up.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Common sense shouldn't go out the window, and we don't need to pretend it isn't the case that a ref blowing the whistle while a keeper isn't ready is a very very rare occurrence, in fact I can't think of a single other example this season

            He's made mistake after mistake but I don't feel that sorry for Brighton, they nearly profited a free goal just because Lee mason is a clueless idiot

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

              But we see common sense go out of the window a lot of times (armpit hair offside, RC for unintentionallly clipping last man's heel from behind etc), and all these stupid decisions justified by saying "it's in the rules" and refs facee are saved.

              So what's not to believe Dunk's goal was within the rules however non-sensical it might seem ?

              I don't care about Brighton but tomorrow it could be against my team and I'd be fuming then.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                5 years, 5 months ago

                So because other decisions lack common sense this one should too?

                Also technically it's within the rules that he can blow the second whistle

                Also I think you're not being truthful here, if my team conceded a goal like that my first thought would be why the hell did the ref blow the whistle when the keeper was setting the wall? As every other team is allowed to do

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

                  It's about taking ownership. English refs screw teams over every week just because of their incompetence and walk away freely saying "it's in the rules".

                  And to make matters any worse, they're not even consistent at doing that based on what we saw today. Ref messed up, didn't want to take ownership so panicked and made random decisions. Let's see how he gets away with this one.

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

      Partially true for sure. They’ve tried to bring Welbeck in, at the end of the day they’re working to a very limited budget.

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly, dont sweat the small decisions.

      Now where are the Liverpool fans?

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

        Why?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          "VAR is against us"

  28. Pukki Blinders
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    “Corner taken quickly, Origi” = Goal
    Lewis dunk following the rules = no goal

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

      Eh? Nothing wrong with TAA taking a corner.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Something wrong with a corner taken quickly though

    2. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Toni Kroos invented it first....Corner taken quickly

  29. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A team that creates so much should probably be in the top half of the league. But then they have Maupay up front!

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Connolly not much better

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        True! Missed a sitter.

  30. Bushwhacker

    Massive miss. Not Maupay.
