Brighton v Leeds team news: Raphinha returns as Duffy is benched

Brighton and Hove Albion take on Leeds United in the final Premier League match of the day, with two of the three most-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets on show back from injury and suspension – and the other one benched.

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

Robert Sanchez is back between the posts for the hosts after serving a one-game suspension in Gameweek 12, replacing Jason Steele.

Shane Duffy is a substitute for only the second time this season, however, with Joel Veltman recalled at the expense of the Irishman.

Neal Maupay for Adam Lallana is Graham Potter’s other alteration, while Enock Mwepu is back on the bench after recovering from a muscle injury.

Any notable Fantasy interest in Leeds players is restricted to Raphinha, who sits in around one in five FPL squads and in over 50% of the top 10,000 managers’ teams.

He and Rodrigo replace Joe Gelhardt and Mateusz Klich in Marcelo Bielsa’s starting XI, while Junior Firpo is in for Pascal Struijk at left-back.

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Dunk, Webster, Veltman, Cucurella, Lamptey, Bissouma, Moder, Gross, Trossard, Maupay.

Subs: Steele, Mac Allister, Mwepu, Lallana, March, Duffy, Locadia, Richards, Sarmiento.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Llorente, Cooper, Firpo, Dallas, Forshaw, Phillips, Harrison, James, Raphinha, Rodrigo.

Subs: Klaesson, Roberts, Struijk, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Klich, McCarron, Shackleton, Jenkins.

    Who to transfer out for jota before the price rise?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years

      A

    3. putana
      • 5 Years

      i will do foden to jota but only after tomorrows game if foden doesnt play or gets a 2 pointer

      1. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        “Or gets a 2 pointer” is a weird qualifier.

        Do you then switch back next time Foden hauls and Jota gets 2?

    4. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to know without fill context, but think B

      I can’t see what’s changed since the deadline in terms of Foden to Jota, if you didn’t swap before, why do it now? Can’t get the 14pts back

    5. NABIL - FPL otai

      A

  2. DB_00

    Own Saka with 0.5 ITB. Who should I get?

    A) Bowen
    B) Cornet
    C) Gilmour (and bank cash)
    D) Gallagher

    (Already have Antonio and Benrahma)

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      As you already own two hammers already, I'd go with D

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      D

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      ESR

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      you selling Saka? Would keep if fit

    5. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      D

    Is there a deadline that I have to use my WC by?
    Thanks

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      They have a rules page, I’d check there

      It has to be used by 11am on Tuesday 28th December, to take effect in GW20.

  4. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone can tell me how was Raphinha, Gallagher and Hwang playing today?

    Need to make space for Jota.

    Thanks

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I can only tell you what I saw on motd and live reports during the day, both Raphinha & Hwang were anonymous. Gallagher was pretty lively

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Raph had little involvement, tough game for Leeds

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Gallagher had good game, Raphinha and Hwang never really in it

  5. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best defender up to 4.5?

    1. The Frenchie
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Lamptey

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Dier or white or that wolves defender

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        His name is Ait-Nouri

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ait Nouri/Lamptey/Tavares

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Lamptey looks great when he plays

    5. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Best Lamptey , but doesn't have anyone who can finish., Tavares looked good today, but poor at defending and Alt-Norti but fixtures really turn badly.

  6. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play 1

    A. Hwang (BUR)
    B. King (CHE)
    C. ESR (mun)
    D. Livra (LEI)

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      C

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Seriously? I'm kinda scared of RR effect, plus arsenal are pants away

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I would still do C. Man Utd won't become Hadrians Wall overnight.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      probably Hwang, although his involvement is dwindling

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah FDR is useless for attackers it seems

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Franklin D. Roosevelt?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Lol fixture difficulty rating but I know you know

    5. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    6. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks all. Surprisingly no B despite form and possibly PK duty

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        B isnt a bad pick, just a big differential, he could pay off

      2. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Its just because of chelsea defence

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A or C, probably A

  7. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hey guys

    Thoughts?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA,Cancelo, Alonso,James
    Saka, Salah, Foden, Gallagher (Normann)
    Kane, Jimenez (Broja)

    Saka (injured but dont know the severity) to Jota tonight?

    (Was going to do a -8 to Jota for Foden this week, but if Foden does get an assist or something, and plays, it won't be so bad 🙂 )

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not sharing your 5th defender? 😉

      I'd do it in a heartbeat

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Livramento :). Cheers

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Saka to jota yes

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I would get Saka to Jota move done- assume Livramento your 5th defender? Foden a keep with good fixtures- Normann went off injured so may be issue if need bench cover over Xmas schedule

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Guys, saw that Dunas. Have not taken so many hits this season due to injuries. Sold Antonio, must be the reason why he is still running 🙂

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    any suggestions about moves with this lot? 1 ft 0.2 itb. And play Broja over Livra?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo - Reg - TAA - Alonso
    Salah - Jota - Raph
    Kane - Vardy - Broja

    Livramento, Normann, Brownhill, Foster

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Save but no James is a worry though.

      Yep I'd play Armando

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        James is my target, im just thinking about how to get there. I could lose Vardy and Livra and get James and Bilva, but it would take 3 moves so I guess I wait for now.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Broja still to me looks like Southampton best strikers and we know what Leicesters defence is like

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yea my logic, plus im playing Vardy

      2. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Broja was the best of the three against Liverpool.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      thanks both btw

      2. MagicMessi

        Agree Rudiger rise worth it to get him now or wait to watch thevgame ?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai

          2 years, 4 months ago

          Prefer wait

          Why would you get Rudiger if you can afford Alonso?

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

            Mainly bcuz of Alonso form busy fixtures rotation risk but yea i might wait to watch the game first .. rudiger probably rising now

    Why did Duffy not start...out of favor?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No need for a big guy against little Leeds

      Brighton finally getting 1st choice players back from injury.

  11. C_G
    • 8 Years

    raphina + Toney ----> Jota + 6.4 FWD (-4)?

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

      or raphina + Rudi ----> Jota + Alonso if nailed (-4)?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ugh so close.

        Go top one if you wanna go King and can afford to bench him next two. Not sold on Benteke/Wood

        Go bottom one if totally sold on Alonso

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Premium forwards have struggled to justify themselves in FPL for a while now, but the entire striker spot is in the mud this season like never before.
    Defenders are the new forwards, Bruno is a mermory. Instead of worrying about money, we cant spend it fast enough, and frankly most of us are probably wishing there was a formation that didnt involve a forward. We even have Ronaldo in the league and he isnt anywhere near essential

    What a strange season so far

    1. The FPL Units

      It's great when the formula changes!

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yes its fun, you have to adapt, fpl seems to have changed alot in recent years. In the older days I think patience was probably the best virtue to have but its not like that so much anymore

        1. TallestJohn
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Definitely still a place for patience this season. Keeping White and Smith Rowe through Arsenal's tough early run, not rushing to get Jota out once Firmino made his first return, Toney still not faring worse than any of the premiums. I started with Martinez in goal and but for that 90+5' Palace goal I would've been better off keeping him even though he missed a game.
