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.

    Lamptey is handfull.

      Seen this before, though. One game I had him last season, he spent the whole match terrorising the left back...but eventually got himself sent off

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He just needs to keep himself fit, he is a very good budget option.

        1. Sharkytect
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          He is coming off the bench for me no that Son isn't playing this week. Yuss...

  2. Hy liverpool

    What lamptey is doing to firpo not legal.. Someone call the police

  3. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Potter for United why not

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds like they'd much rather spend £15m on Poch

  4. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    My front line is Wilson, Toney, Hwang. I don't like it, but what other options are there? Toney to Benteke maybe?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Dennis

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

      Pukki vs Newcastle

  5. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Only tonight can I do this shall I go for it considering firmino might be back "soon"?
    Mbeumo+Dias>Jota+Nouri (-4)

    1. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Jota going to get a good run, Salah and Mane going to AFCON in the new year. Do you have Cancelo? or is Dias your only City defensive cover?

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I have Cancelo but could also do Dias to Alonso/Rudiger.

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

    I knew Firpo was bad from his Barca days, but this is like unbelievably shite even by his standards

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Alioski is a huge loss.

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

        Why didn't they give him a contract? I'm stumped

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I assumed the Saudis offered him too much money. They almost doubled his Leeds wage. (24k -> 42k)

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            To put in context:

            Phillips 4.5k
            Ayling 8k
            Dallas 8k
            Harrison 15k
            Llorente 22k
            Bamford 35k

            Phillips will surely be gone in the summer...

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Because he was crap and a troublemaker

  7. Steve The Spud

    Toney and sarr > jota and king done

    -4

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

      Toney and Brownhill > jota and king done before deadline 😉

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes king has easiest 2 fixtures ever next week.

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

        He’ll sit on my bench for those 2 can you name a better striker below 6.5?

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Not even above 6.5.. Strikers are shite this year, hope i could play 5-5-0

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

            Yea, it’s proper slim pickings, going 4/4/2 with Kane and Antonio for now

  8. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Guys Anyone finding difficulty in identifying players coz of the similarity of colors of their kit?

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That’s what I was thinking. On a mobile screen, it is slightly difficult. Leeds don’t have another away kit ?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It's a horrible colour for a football jersey.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes it's doing my head in.

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Maupay finds it even difficult to identify the goal

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No. Stripes v Lilac

  9. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphinha done anything??

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Had one freekick... not much else.

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      They are doubling up on him.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Invisible

  10. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you downgrade Vardy or Son for upgrading Mbeumo to Jota ?

    Guiata
    TAA Cancelo James Alonso (Livramento)
    Salah Son Foden ESR (Mbeumo)
    Vardy Toney (Perica)

    1. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Please guys yay or nay to doing this tonight:
      Mbeumo and Dias > Jota and Nouri (-4)

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Go for it. Can you afford Lamptey?

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Dias to Nouri isn't a good move

    2. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      see how it pans out tomorrow and decide

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Trossard and Raphinha do something!

  12. A. PRISE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Maupey vs Maguire, who gets its for the most incompetent player in PL?

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

      Firpo

  13. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If maupay wants to waste those chances, he won't do that.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    bench ESR (mun) or gallagher (lee)?
    both have had a disapointing week dunno which is the least worst option

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    59,138 new Jota owners. People just can't wait...

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      he wont score a brace every week no rush as far as I am concerned (famous last words 🙂 )

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

      Just brought him in lol

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Haa, you are one of them. But Tuesday is not too far away.

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

          It’s frustration of a bad start to the game week and impatience, pure and simple

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I started with ESR and Wilson. I am still patient. It will come good.

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not long to wait

    4. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Got him this morning thankfully

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

      Half the comments on here yesterday were "should I do Foden to Jota for a hit?" The replies were 10 to 1 don't do it

  16. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    How to get Jota into this team?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Trent, Cancelo, James, Alonso (Livramento)
    Salah, Raphinha, Gallagher, ESR (D Luiz)
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Toney

    Options I can think of are:

    a) Alonso, Gallagher/ESR out - Lamptey, Jota in
    b) Toney, Gallagher/ESR out - Dennis, Jota in
    c) D Luiz, Antonio out - Jota, fodder (5.2 striker) - move to 4-4-2 / 3-5-2

    Any ideas?

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

      Had a very similar team and I’ve just done Toney to king to fund it

      King will be benched for next 2

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Toney + D Luiz > 4.4 + Jota possible?

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Nope sadly not

  17. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Get something Lamptey!!

  18. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Genuinely feel bad for Chelsea academy players. Have so many talents like Lamptey, Livramento, Broja, Gallagher, RLC, Tomori etc cant get any consistent exposure in the first team. While the club is going out and buying other youngsters who are then sold when they also dont get enough playing time (KDB, Salah, Lukaku).

    Like is it just me that think they legit dont need to spend much on first teamers every year when their academy is so good. I have no idea why they bought all of Pulisic Werner Havertz and Ziyech

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It doesn't seem right but they're not the only club doing it.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yeah fair all the big prem clubs do it, just seems like Chelsea has the best academy by far and the "rejects" are all thriving

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Good point. The same can be said for other teams also though

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yeah just dont see many ex Man Utd, Liverpool, City academy players doing really well nowadays

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          There are a few. Southampton Academy did well in it's day. Outside of that; I think it depends on the objective of their process. I do get your point

    3. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Reece James, Chalobah, Mount & Hudson-Odoi all performing well this year in fairness.

      Historically they’ve been awful at nurturing talent within but do seem to be changing that slowly…

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yeah Chalobah i think is very underlooked. Doesnt look out of place at all. Wonder how Tomori feels

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

      Their academy is more about selling players on to make profit vs actually getting 1st reamers through.

      Its a different business model, but its working for them!

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yeah i guess Im just a sucker for good academy players rising through the ranks at a club. Mount and James have potential to be Chelsea lifers to be fair

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        You'll sell more jersies in emerging markets if you have a few players from those markets too. Much easier now too generating a foreign fan base through social media and they can buy your merchandise online even if they have never gone to watch the team play.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          That's good insight. Are you in the biz?

    5. Yordan Letchkov
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Add Guéhi - sold for 20mio = business model…

      1. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Don't forget Musiala, now a regular at Bayern 1st team.
        That's why they want CHO so much.

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

      Different cases though.

      - Tomori, Tammy was sold (Tammy with buyback)
      - Gallagher, Broja, RLC (previously) loaned to gain more 1st team experience
      - livra, lamptey, guehi sold because they don't want to extend their contract. Very understandable considering fierce competition in CB & RB Dept

  19. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    This is one football match that you will rather not watch. Boring.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Quietened down last 10 minutes. Pretty good before that considering the seaside conditions.

  20. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    sanchez (foster)
    taa rudi alonso cancelo (white)
    townsend salah raph (mbeumo sisoko)
    vardy antonio jimi

    which?

    a) town to galla/zaha/mora/cornet
    b) town jimi -4 to mora/cornet/jota/bernardo benteke

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Get Jota

  21. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds really lacking the intensity of last season. Bamford would help the press but doubt he would transform them

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Missing Daniel James. Dallas too locked away.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Daniel James - that gave me a giggle

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Koch & Bamford are important players, but they do seem to be lacking a bit of energy regardless. Maybe it's catching up with them.

  22. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphina letting the team down.

    My first 6 to play today averaged 9.3 points each!

    Come on Raph, get your self a wee goal.

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

      You’ve had a good start mate we understand

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

        1st one of the season Steve.

  23. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who wins this head to head?

    A) 4 points, Cancelo, Mount and Vardy

    B) Kane, Son and Reguillon

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A on form.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A I hope

  24. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Mbeumo to Jota for free. A no Brainerd, right?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Aye

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

      That’s beyond a no brainer, you’d actually need your head checked if you didn’t make that move

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wish I had taken a hit and done it this week itself! Changed my mind last minute.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      The easiest transfer you will make this season.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Hit the button already!

  25. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    49 from 5, amazing start to the GW! Need to make decision tonight.

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger Cancelo Alonso Coady
    Salah Son Jota
    Vardy Toney Antonio

    Foster Duffy Saka Douglas

    Made only 0.1 on Saka so can allow him to drop 0.1 before effects TV.

    However, should I get ASR before his price rise tonight?

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I wouldn't mind a Sanchez pen save and Raph goal and assist

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn’t mind another Sanchez RC and Raph subbed early

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wash your mouth out, filthy talk that.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Add a Sanchez clean sheet.

  27. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Welp Firpo is off to the surprise of no one. He was dreadful.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would have been more surprised if he stayed on.

      Phillips coming off is a surprise though!

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Luckily for him Lamptey can't cross a ball as well as he can run.

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

    think its time to send Raph on his way

    1. TorresMagic™

      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Before leaky Palace?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

          5 in last 2 vs Burnley & Villa.

      Did the move 3 weeks ago to Jota.

        Although I’d give him the next 2 if I still owned him

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Giving him the next 2 home fixtures then will part ways for his fixture turn

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Nah.

    5. Camzy

      Yeah I'm likely selling.

      I haven't seen anything from Leeds so far. I can buy a City midfielder - Gundo or Bilva.

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Booted him this week for Jota

      He's been fortunate for those back to back goals, and Leeds are just dross. Jota far superior team, was an easy decision.

      if you've kept until now, keep for next 2 then shift

    8. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah to Bilva or Gundog. Have Jota

    Lamptey essential at 4.4

    1. TorresMagic™

      More essential than Chelsea defenders.

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Why what has he done apart from looking threatening?

    3. Piggs Boson

      His minutes will surely be managed over the congested winter schedule.

      I think he's one for January.

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not with his fixtures and minutes managed. Generally no end product also

    Jota move now (-4) or wait until after next GW (FT)
    Raphinha (BUR) + Jimenez (PAL) >
    Jota (eve) + King (che)
    Could lose 0.2-0.4M in price rises/falls
    Raph & Jim have good fixtures??
    Worth it or wait?
    Cheers Ian

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years

      Wait

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Raph plays CPL not BUR.
