Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester City is the last of six Premier League matches being contested on Saturday.

Kick-off at the Amex is at 17:30 BST.

There are a couple of high-profile benchings on the south coast in the form of Shane Duffy (£4.4m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m) but no real shocks aside from that, with the other main players from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective all involved from kick-off.

Solly March‘s (£5.3m) recall and Duffy’s demotion to the bench is the one change that Graham Potter has made from the side that drew at Norwich last weekend, so Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) once again has to content himself with a place among the substitutes.

Pep Guardiola’s two changes from the midweek Champions League win at Club Bruges sees Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m) and Ilkay Gundogan (£7.2m) come in for De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m).

Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) misses out as a precaution.

All three of the Manchester City players who can boast a double-digit ownership, Ruben Dias (£6.2m), Joao Cancelo (£6.3m) and Jack Grealish (£7.9m), start this evening.

Cancelo is by some distance the most-owned City asset in the top 10k, with Phil Foden (£8.0m) a distance second:

    Will have to get Lamptey eventually

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 16 days ago

      He'll be broken again soon.

  2. Nomar
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Lamptey skinning Grealish.

    You love to see it!

  3. Amartey Partey
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Are city only winning because Potter cocked up his system?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      He’s an incredible manager

      1. BooYaKasha
        5 years, 16 days ago

        How so?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 16 days ago

          The things he can squeeze out of his squad is remarkable. Then there’s the wonderful football they play. 4th in the league before kick off. Lots of things.

          1. BooYaKasha
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Would you consider the same about David Moyes?

    2. ☈☾
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Yep

  4. La Roja
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Surprised Pep hasn’t done any changes. They look woeful second half

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Pep not roulette

  5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Lamptey should be in the England squad ahead of Sterling

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Brentford fixtures looking better and better, Everton at home in 13 looking fantastic as well now - might have to double up

    1. Bubz
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I’ve tripled up…

    2. JONALDINHO
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Already have Toney and Mbeumo. Should’ve gone Raya on WC too

  7. Kodap
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Lamptey is some talent

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      A fragile talent...handle with care

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Lamptey is rather good isn't he. Once he's starting I could see a spot for him in the team.

    1. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 16 days ago

      He was in everyones team pre-season...

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Very very early preseason before we found out he was injured. It was so early I didn't have him in any draft.

  9. Piggs Boson
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I didn't think owning double City defence would be this stressful! They're usually in complete control.

    Lovely football from Brighton!

  10. Rainer
    5 years, 16 days ago

    City hanging on...

  11. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Just Sub Cancelo off please

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      This. Nervous watching him up against Lamptey when on a YC already

  12. Digital-Real
    5 years, 16 days ago

    KDB warming up?

  13. Nomar
    5 years, 16 days ago

    WC in GW12

    Lamptey incoming, methinks.

  14. JONALDINHO
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Guys I have double city defence apologies in advance of what will happen

  15. Stranger Mings
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Top 5 essential players over next few games? Salah, foden, chilly etc?

    1. Nomar
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Lamptey

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Yeh to replace injury prone tierney

    2. Rainer
      5 years, 16 days ago

      King, Mount, Foden, Chilwell & Digne.

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Toney too

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Mount, Chilwell, Foden, King and Cornet

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks agree on them

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Who knows, foden and Mount were both ‘ok’ picks before this game week. It’s a lot of guess work which I guess makes for an interesting season

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks thinking of wildcard but just trying to work out if did so to target

    5. Esalman
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Based on who Norwich is playing against: Raphinha, Toney, Broja, Hwang, ASM.

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Yeh very true

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Barnes, Mahrez, Digne

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks they have all scored big so far

      2. Nomar
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Enough of this Digne nonsense!

        1. Stranger Mings
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Everton solid aren’t they

          1. Nomar
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Digne needs to be removed permanently from FPL so that no poor soul will ever have the misfortune of owning him.

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Got to be Mount, King, Rudiger, Foden etc!

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks food for thought

  16. ☈☾

  19. Nomar

    Brighton unhappy with the ref.

  20. Hutchiniho
    5 years, 16 days ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Not really, spurs absolutely battered them in week 1 🙂

    1. Nomar
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Shame they won't have anything to show for it, though.

  22. TomSaints
    5 years, 16 days ago
