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.

    I watched livescore add saw that Brighton had missed a penalty. I first thought that I just had my first penalty save in 12 years of playing this game, but noooo. Did he blast it over? 🙁

      Raphinha goal, watkins goal and martinez pen save, thank you and goodbye.

  10. deathcabofdevil

    Slightly incorrect phrasing. They wanted to say Watkins will put Leeds to bed.

  11. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Konsa 15 pointer here would be gold. No Leeds in my XI is very scary

  16. Jafooli

    Why do Leeds Cresswell & Hammers Cresswell not have their initial infront of their name on FPL? I thought that's what they did when players had the same surname?

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

      Only if they play in the same team.

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

        Sure there have been cases of players in different teams also...

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

          Nope. Only in the same team, else there will be too many of them.

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

    Rubbish Twitter rumours in the mud.

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

      To be fair he came on here to say he was holding Watkins and thought the rumour was fishy

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who's gonna miss this one then?

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

    Johnstone will save it.

  20. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Welbeck vs johnstone

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

    Will Gross take again?

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

    Watkins owners think he's going to score big just because he's in the team. 😀

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

    Another Brighton penalty...

    Saved?!

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

      Looked like he played the ball to a large extent.

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

  25. Hy liverpool

  26. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    If that penalty stands it's as much of a joke as the disallowed goal

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

    Johnstone clean sheet confirmed surely can’t believe it!!!!!!

  28. Flair
    • 6 Years
