Norwich City v Liverpool was our tea-time game last Saturday; a slightly less appetising evening fare for Gameweek 2 sees Brighton and Hove Albion entertain Watford at the Amex.

The game does feature Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) second most-owned starting goalkeeper, in the form of Robert Sanchez (£4.5m).

Almost one in four FPL managers have selected the Spain international.

But the fact that the only other player in either starting XI with a double-digit ownership is bench fodder option Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) does provide some context as to the importance of tonight’s result on the FPL landscape.

Albion boss Graham Potter makes two changes from his side’s opening-day win over Burnley, with Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Adam Lallana (£5.5m) in for Enock Mwepu (£6.0m) and Steven Alzate (£5.0m).

£4.0m FPL defender Shane Duffy again starts at centre-half.

Xisco Munoz makes just the one change from the team that beat Aston Villa 3-2 in Gameweek 1, with Imran Louza (£5.5m) starting in place of the injured Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

Emmanuel Dennis (£5.1m), flagged in FPL after appearing to limp off last weekend, starts again up top.

Joshua King (£5.5m) has recovered from a groin problem and makes the bench.

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Webster, Dunk, Bissouma, Maupay, Mac Allister, Trossard, Gross, Lallana, March, Duffy

    Toney > Maupay should be popular.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I watched all our match v Brentford and Toney was not all that, could be a popular choice.

    More Payyyyyyy Get IN!

    2 in 2 for the ‘horrible pick’ maupay

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      0 in 2 for clinical finisher and potential golden boot winner Toney

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty much

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      Maupay did the same thing in the first 2 weeks of last season and pulled everyone in

  5. 824545201

    Scout picks destroying this week!

  6. Andy_Social

    A Duffy goal and a Bissy assist plus Sanchez's CS. This is one of my more successful bench boosts.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t jinx CS mate

  7. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Bissouma nailed to last spot on the bench

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      same 🙁

  8. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    When do we know is Salah missing GW4?

  9. Collie01

    Should've trusted myself

    Maupay shoulder pain.

  14. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Toney to Maupay was shortlived

  15. FFFoxy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I know people will say to be patient. But Ivan Toney isn’t good enough. He’ll get a few goals here and there but I feel like he’s the kind of player you could be waiting 5 weeks for a return. I know he’s only 6.5 but there are a couple options around 7/8m mark. Downgrading Digne and upgrading Toney has to happen for me

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He doesn’t really look like scoring

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Spot on

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I have only 6.5m. No FT.

      Armstrong Pukki Maupay as options.
      Not very convincing options.

  16. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What about Tsimikas and Toney to a)!Armstrong & 4.5m defender (dier?) or b) Maupay & 4m defender (Duffy or lives?)

  17. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Toney to Maupay fail

  18. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So overall updates before bonus points nowadays?

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

      Yeah.

      LiveFPL still king.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Maupain.

  20. g40steve

  21. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Maupay probably subbed it seems.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Another Toney replacement bites the dust

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

      Ouch

  22. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Biss bench fodder

  23. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Already did the Toney to maupay move

    Damn

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You are s**ting me?

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

  24. 3 A
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez - bad distribution

  25. Az

    4 years, 6 months ago

    As I said to Sam, Neale and Tom.

    Maupay HAS to be included in the Scout Picks this week.

    In all seriousness though, gutted he’s scored and has to go off. Started the season so brightly, didn’t know he had it in him.

  26. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

  27. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which one's better?

    A. Son & Bamford
    B. Lukaku & Raphinha

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both look decent TBH

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        How do you know Lukaku havent played a single game yet

    2. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

  28. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Son should score a hatty vs this lot.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Salah > Son done

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

  29. 272MK

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure he will be. Not sure Vesty is ready entirely...

  30. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Kane will probably play next game. Still on Son (C)?
