Double Gameweek 22 gets underway this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion play host to Crystal Palace in the M23 derby.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Graham Potter makes two changes from his team’s 3-2 win at Everton, with Pascal Gross and Jakub Moder coming in for Enock Mwepu (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (international duty).

That means Tariq Lamptey has to settle for a place on the bench, with Joel Veltman preferred at right-back.

Jeremy Sarmiento (hamstring) and Lewis Dunk (knee) miss out completely, although Dunk could be back for Brighton’s second Gameweek 22 match against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Crystal Palace, who have lost their last three league matches on the road without scoring, make four changes from Double Gameweek 21, as Jack Butland, Conor Gallagher, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise replace Vicente Guaita, Luka Milivojevic, Jordan Ayew and Christian Benteke.

Notably, Eze makes his first league start of the season, whilst Olise is handed an opportunity to shine from the off, having been directly involved in five Premier League goals as a substitute this season, scoring two and assisting three.

Wilfried Zaha, Cheikhou Kouyate and Ayew are all on international duty, whilst James Tomkins and James McArthur are both sidelined through injury.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Webster, Burn, Cucurella, Gross, Lallana, Moder, Mac Allister, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Scherpen, Lamptey, Alzate, Welbeck, March, Caicedo, Roberts, Leonard, Ferguson

Crystal Palace XI: Butland, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Hughes, Schlupp, Gallagher, Olise, Eze, Edouard

Subs: Guaita, Milivojevic, Mateta, Clyne, Benteke, Kelly, Ferguson, Riedewald, Rak-Saki

            One example. An entire thread that people were contributing to just because some people believe that vaccines might increase the risk of heart disease.

    Bad the beef masaman, it was OK

    The chicken satay was nice

    I checked my phone half way through and saw that lamptey was benched which ruined the meal sort of

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It can be really hit and miss in Western establishments. I presume that's where you were?

      I say this as someone who's only ever had Thai in Thailand and Netherlands.

      I feel vaguely responsible.

      For the food choices I mean. I take no responsibility for Lamprey.

      Hope you enjoyed the meal.

        Lamprey, not Lamprey. Though satay Lamprey might work.

    1. Ginkapo FPL

      Quite simple, they didnt score

      1. Paqueta Rice

    2. The Suspended One

      tbf I think they have quite the experience in this position, they may have SOME idea

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This is true. Always dominate but struggle to put it in the onion sack

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Probably will come on and concede 2 goals and get yellow carded

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      I saw him in the first half on the bench.

  9. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I saw a few people slagging off Butland before the match.

    He's already on 7 points at half time.

    3. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      tbf there were 'better' options this week. Does Butland even start when Guaita is fit?

        Ha. Incredibly, I’ve no idea how strong Egypt are this year.

          Looked rubbish in their first match

    Potter spends all week saying how lamptey is amazing and a special talent then benches him after 10 days rest bloody moron

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure he would be making a difference here..

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

      Saving him for Chelsea

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        ...rather than play him in the game they have a better chance of winning

        1. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He'd probably prefer to play against Alonso rather than Mitchell though!

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He usually does this. Managing a young players wellbeing

  13. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    We're only 40 minutes away from Brighton conceding the only goal of the game.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Watches calibrated!

  14. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Rangnick “I think they will be available."

    “They only trained yesterday for the first time. Cristiano yesterday, Harry the day before yesterday. We have to wait for the final session this afternoon but as it seems right now they should be available for tomorrow.”

    Available doesn't necessarily means a start right?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Seems fair to only expect one game from CR7, but that's fine as most players only have a SGW this week

      Notable that best FPL player of all time Fabio Borges captained Bruno as did the best captain picker in FPL this season (never had a captain blank): https://www.premierfantasytools.com/fpl-captain-picks-analyzer/?teamid=679622 🙂

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

      Depends when the final session was. If the team ID being shared is correct, he transferred out Ronaldo at 14 Jan 17:45.

      If the session finished before that time (possible?) then I suppose there's a decent chance Ronaldo misses out.

      I say that as a Ronaldo captainer purely looking at the logic.

      Hopefully Maguire is just an idiot.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Id is correct . His brothers joe maguire and laurence maguire are in one the mini leagues

        Lets see if maguire is a clown as usual 😉

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years

      He also thinks lol. So that means he doesn't really know yet

      You're thinking in HD

  17. Thewoodyhorse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton are in desperate need of a goalscorer, they play some decent stuff, control the game but their end product has all the menace of a Traore counter attack.

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Could have done well signing Wood tbh

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Jokes on Newcastle, Burnley going to take that 25m and buy a real striker.

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

        No one else in the league would be paying his 25m release clause. Newcastle literally needed a forward for their 6 pointer against Watford and made an offer that couldn't be turned away whilst simultaneously nobbling their relegation rival

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I think they did Burnley a favor

    2. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Few teams in the same boat:
      Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Spurs...

    3. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Both are well oiled machines but lacking in goals.

    4. PartyTime
      • 5 Years

      Nope. Potter is a dummy. They wanna play tiki taka & pass sideways & backwards. Then play long balls into the box lol

        I got him early, love him as player, sold for king on wc19 and couldn’t find another striker slot for him this week.

        Cue 20pter

        Oh I’m looking at EO around my rank, that makes much more sense… thought it listed top10k

    Vieira has been pretty good at making adjustments after half time this season. Let’s see if he can break the pressure..

    Should have gone Fernandes captain, now I see it. Too late, let's hope variance strikes in our favour and Ronaldo somehow outscores Bruno

      It's not even 3hrs since deadline, what's changed ?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Harry sold Ronnie.

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          That too

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I had more time to think about it! Shouldn't pay that much attention to the last minute rumors, that tweet about Antonio convinced me to do Antonio to Ronaldo instead of Son to Fernandes.

          Still don't get it. You made your decision, surely you gave it some thought.

          Stick with it, don't start whinging before games even took place - its weak.

          1. Sgt Frank Drebin
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe I just like whine. Don't really have a admitting a mistake - even without the info from Maguire's team I think bringing in Bruno was a better decision. I was influence by last minute roumors which shouldn't happen and that's my lesson for the future. Even if Ronaldo outscores Bruno I will still think it wasn't the best decision.

              Although not that much worse. We'll see.

      I've got Ron (c) and bruno. Hope bruno outscores him

      I wanted double Watford strikers, even if they don't get the double, Norwich next is juicy. Therefore I did Son > Bruno instead of getting Ronnie in. Time will tell...

    Lamptey on

    1. Tango74

      Yeah I got him 🙂

      If Brighton concede will he get -1?

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        If they concede 4

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        They’d have to concede 4 for him to het -1. Or 2 and a yellow card

        He said it's his old school friend. He's not the type to make it up.

          Did he grow up in Wales?

          1. AIRMILES
            • 14 Years

            Yes he did, and he's about 36/37.

          Nobody but just look at the pointlessness of your post You can say it retrospectively about any player who scores points in a GW.
