Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Brighton and Hove Albion v Leicester City at the Amex Stadium.

The two sides arrive in contrasting form, with the Seagulls placed fourth after taking 10 points from their opening five matches. Leicester, meanwhile, have suffered four successive defeats and remain at the foot of the table after Thursday’s 1-0 loss to Manchester United.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Graham Potter makes one change from the side that lost 2-1 to Fulham in Gameweek 5, as Danny Welbeck comes in for Pervis Estupinan, who drops to the bench.

He sits alongside Billy Gilmour, who joined from Chelsea earlier this week.

    Imagine after all the investment in it they end up abandoning using VAR lol

  2. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Blaming VAR makes incompetent referees get away with it

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Technology is fine. The people in charge of it are anything but.

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly what I am saying. Hope that changes one day.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Oh yeah I was agreeing with you

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      it's the VAR official

      an actual ref.

      and the process too.

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        "referees" in what I said meant the VAR refs

  3. LarkyTown
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Blatter was right. He always said it would be sh*t, and it is

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think they will end up not using it soon

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably the only thing he was ever right about.

  4. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Mwepu was offside. Right decision.

  5. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Surely this Leicester defence must be on course to historically being the worst defence of the Premier League era?

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Up there with Swindon/Derby/Bradford?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Wolves
        Blackburn
        Fulham
        Derby
        Swindon

        ..... not Bradford City!

          sorry, Burnley not their Lancashire cousins.

  6. Casualspotted

    Dunk yellow would be nice

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Downvote for card calling

  7. markmcr

    Quality or refs is the problem. Guarantee there will be less controversial decisions in the CL this season than the PL this weekend

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No quality refs in the premier league unfortunately

  8. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    VAR’s not the problem. The technology is fine. It’s the boneheads making the calls. No other leagues have the embarrassing issues the Prem has frequently.

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is funny the different angles they show on tv is different when shown to ref

      1. masewindu
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It is all dodgy. Yesterday the Kane one he was way off first two view then they fiddle and he's on.

  9. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Looking forward to Dermot Gallagher defend VAR and the Refs on ref watch tomorrow on sky. should be a laugh.

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years

    What happened to Dunk? You could always rely on some attacking returns from him.

    1. tiger

    What's the motivation in actually to become a referee? Endless abuse

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
