Duffy and Lamptey start but Maupay benched as Brighton face Newcastle

Brighton and Hove Albion face Newcastle United in the final Premier League match of the day.

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

The visitors go into this match bottom of the table, following a win for Norwich City at Brentford earlier this afternoon.

Albion, despite not winning any of their last five league matches, will go fifth with a victory over the managerless Magpies.

The Seagulls have an excellent recent record against Newcastle, however, having not lost to today’s opponents in their last eight meetings. The hosts have conceded only one goal in those eight fixtures, beating Steve Bruce’s former side 3-0 on two occasions in 2020/21.

Graeme Jones will take temporary charge of Newcastle for very probably the final time this evening, with Eddie Howe in the director’s box at the Amex ahead of his imminent appointment.

Jones makes three changes to the side that began the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, with the benched Javier Manquillo, Ryan Fraser and Sean Longstaff replaced by Jonjo Shelvey, Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron.

Graham Potter makes only one change to the side that started the Gameweek 11 draw at Anfield. Tariq Lamptey gets his first league start of the campaign, replacing Jakub Moder, but there is again no place in the starting XI for Neal Maupay.

Shane Duffy keeps his place at centre-half.

Duffy and Robert Sanchez are, by some distance, the most popular FPL players in tonight’s fixture. Both are owned by just under one in four FPL managers overall and just under 40% of the top 10,000 Fantasy bosses, while 11% of the top 10k own both of them.

    Anyone bemoaning benching Cancelo, one of the most creative players against a shocking Manchester United backline needs a long hard look in the mirror.

      Ok

    That's a disgusting decision. Never a pen. Diving little rat

        Pen all day long, without that clumsy challenge he gets a shot off with his left foot

        Be more concerned with clueless Clark.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 4 months ago

            This, no idea why people always favour stupid defenders doing stupid things. We want to see goals, not idiot defenders get away with tripping people just because it wasn't enough to fell them

        Trossard wagon takes off!

        Said yesterday that Reece James is a much better pick than Chilwell and it showed today as well. Much more attacking output, could have hauled today.

        Might have to go Chilwell -> James with an extra FT sometime soon

        1. Simon69
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Havertz and Barkley make better decision and Chilly has two golden opportunities - He's always in good positions.

          • 13 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I chose James over Chilwell with the wildcard in the back pocket in case backfired. So far so good

        3. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, James got more points today so you must be right. He must be the better pick.

            Bulletproof logic

      • TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He takes a step after the contact and then throws himself to the ground

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Does that mean he wasn't fouled initially though? It doesn't

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              In slow motion kind of.

              In real life its different.

            2. TheTinman
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Soft as muck. If fans start to want those given when it's not even their team they support then the games gone mad!!

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  I want to see shots and goals, not crap defenders get away with impeding someone so the game is "hard" instead of "soft"

                  1. TheTinman
                    • 8 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Soft penalties are exciting? Come off it

                    1. @persecuted_by_mods
                        2 years, 4 months ago

                        More exciting than crap defender can't tackle properly yes, and if he doesn't foul Trossard does a nice skill and definitely gets his shot away which again, I'd rather see than crap clumsy defender missing the ball

                        1. TheTinman
                          • 8 Years
                          2 years, 4 months ago

                          And shoots it through 5 bodies and past the goal keeper I'm sure

                          1. @persecuted_by_mods
                              2 years, 4 months ago

                              No need to foul him then right? It was covered all along

                              1. TheTinman
                                • 8 Years
                                2 years, 4 months ago

                                The initial contact was not enough to put him down. He took a step and then DIVED. You're advocating cheating for entertainment. I just can't agree with it

                                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                                    2 years, 4 months ago

                                    No, you're making up nonsense. I'm saying he was fouled and impeded, BEFORE he took the step and dived- he did so because the foul meant he'd lost his chance of shooting. You can be fouled without the contact dropping you on your arse

                  Trossard goal

                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Trossard making a strong case

                  1. lilmessipran
                    • 11 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Ya he has stared upfront last two and is looking good, Bri upcoming fixtures also looking good

                    1. Thomas Magnum
                      • 8 Years
                      2 years, 4 months ago

                      Think I’ll do Raphinha to him in order to raise funds for Dias > Cancelo. Then when the fixtures change I’ll likely do Trossard > Bowen because their fixtures transfer well

                      1. lilmessipran
                        • 11 Years
                        2 years, 4 months ago

                        Sounds like a plan

                  Good man Trossard, definitely feel vindicated in moving Havertz to him now

                    Well done mate.
                    I saw a few people on here saying they wanted to bring Trossard in and everyone replied saying not too!

                  I would always back Craig Pawson and David Coote to come up with a sensible conclusion between them.

                  Back to back goals for both Trossard and Zaha, tasty!

                  I mean.. Azpi has been great for me. 3 weeks in a row I've had Livramento coming first from bench and he's brought me 9, 6 and 6 points.

                  At this point I'm afraid of transferring him out. But will probably have to do for TAA. 😉

                    Straight move to James once IB is done for me

                    Lamptey vs Targett could be a mauling!

                  I'll take those Trossard points+

                    If he’s in your side I don’t think you’ve got any choice but to take them.

                    Lamptey basically a full on right winger here

                    1. @persecuted_by_mods
                        2 years, 4 months ago

                        Also didn't think Newcastle would get worse without Bruce but at least he had ASM attacking

                      Pukki best forward under 5.8?

                        Think Broja long term.

                          Pukki short term right ?

                      Just realised I've locked myself out of getting Lamptey as I have Sanchez, Steele and Trossard 🙁

                        • 7 Years

                        Probably a good thing

                          Hmmm maybe you're right, double (playing) Brighton is enough, triple could end up in tears

                      As long as Duffy doesn’t get a clean sheet then it’s all ended up evenish :

                      A) livra and Armstrong
                      B) Cancelo and Duffy

                      Would you rather:

                      a) 14pts (c) in the bag
                      b) Salah (c) to come vs WHU (2nd best defence in league, xG wise)

                        Always Salah

                        I'd back Salah vs 7

                      I need to get rid of Azpilicueta and Grealish, but is it safe to wait until tomorrow or are they dropping tonight? FPLStatistics says Grealish is -78.4 and Azpilicueta is -35.2 at the moment.

                        Lots of tinkering during IB with Havertz, Mbeumo, Raph, Toney and Vardy, all potential suspects.

                          Recon Havertz may be a keep at least one more GW after all?
