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.

As for the visitors, Brendan Rodgers has dropped Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jamie Vardy, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka both handed starts.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Trossard, Mwepu, Gross, Welbeck

  1. Mr. O'Connell

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Viable strategy to do Ward > Carson and have 2 3.9 non-playing keepers?

    Allows us to pump money into the forward line which should cover any goalkeeper points. Only downside I can see is Carson uses a Man City slot.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Dragon Arcana
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No way

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

      lol

      This was 3 days before season started!!

    4. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. So I can finally upgrade my 4.5 non playing forward to a 4.6 non playing forward

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

        you can have Greenwood for 4.4

    5. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I know having the Leicester double GK can do this to people. I've been there before, having these exact thoughts.
      Just get a 4.5/4.6 keeper mate.

    6. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There’s so much money to go round with prices so cheap that you shouldn’t have to even contemplate this.

      Just get yourself Pope or Sanchez & chill

    7. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tbf you’re only getting 1 point less a week than Ward/Iversen owners

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

        This is the thing. Also I'll know I'm getting 0 points from the keeper position so can mentally prepare myself and never be disappointed.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          No risk of minus points either

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

            Even better. I'm tempted.

    8. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If it's any consolation my GK has been a disaster all season - Here's my gw 1-6 record, 12 points - 8 hits = 4 points 🙁

      Played - Benched (Sold)
      Alison 1 - Pope 6
      Alison 2 - Pope 10
      Guaita 3 - Pope 3 (Alison 1)
      Pope 3 - Guaita 0
      Guaita 2 - Pope 2
      Henderson 1 - Pope 12 (Guaita 7)

  2. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    wrong place in the field for that kind of risk, maddison

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Stevie g moment minus the slip

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        no resemblance

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          They both gave the ball away in the same area and both apparently the talisman of the team

          Both overhyped

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            And they both gave away the PL title

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

            Stevie G was not overhyped.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              If I speak

  3. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Groß will be like Salah in the 9:0 match, maaaaaaan this GW sucks

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  4. TheSteel

    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Trossard punt 3 weeks ago in the mud. Time to sell

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

  5. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years

  6. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison having a mare.

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

    Groß on fire, central to everything

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

      Not on free kicks or pens. Rarely gets in the box. Don't get it.

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

        Very attacking, was the 18 yard box lots in United game for example

      2. International Richard
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Don’t get the value?

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah heavily involved in the celebrations

    3. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years

      Taking all corners

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  9. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years

    Maddison playing for Brighton today

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

    Do ßomething Groß. I need the pointß.

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

      I'm all for thiß

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

        ßorry, jußt found out how to do thiß

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Show off.

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

        Hold S on mobile. No more Gross/Grob.

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

    Just like a Haaland blank, a Leicester clean sheet massively overdue.

    Defo a keep

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m doubling up

  12. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    No returns, but eye test tells me to keep faith and keep Gross regardless.

  13. The White Pele
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Welbeck & Trossard owner. need some returns please!

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brighton overkill

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Welbeck was a bad pick tbh.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck assist already

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Nvm it was Mwepu

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Andre Marriner moment

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Nope

    3. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t really score goals tbh mate

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        no problem mate. legend anyway.

  14. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So this is how the Groz looks

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

    Funniest thing about this is Ward will make no more than 1 save in the match

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He is so great we can't even comprehend it.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I will be happy with 1 point from him at this rate. Same every week. Can't wait to get rid.

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You get what you pay for

  16. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Save points for Sanchez cmon give me something.

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

    Maddißon

    Or

    Groß?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Maddo.

  18. Prinzhorn
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed
    By far my worst season. 2M+ OR

    What to make of this? (It doesn’t even look that bad on paper)

    Sanchez-Ward

    TAA - Cancelo - James - Trippier - Neco

    Salah - Gundogan - Martinelli - Dasilva - Andreas

    Haaland - Jesus - Archer

    Thoughts on how to improve this lot for GW7?
    I have 1 Ft with 1.4 itb.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Get a different keeper easy?

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Save your FT this week, and use the 2 FT next week to sell one mid/def and buy a third forward next week. Its the season of the forwards. The content creators have been denying that, and its already too late. The damage is done.

      1. Prinzhorn
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

        1. Prinzhorn
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Wildcarding in GW 9 though I think.

  19. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Give me a ßanchez YC or RC

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ward owners how many weeks you putting up with no returns?

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      few more weeks until wildcard. or possibly a transfer this week or next not sure

    2. N1ceguyEdd1e
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Until GW9 Wildcard or if no injuries midweek, maybe by this Friday!

  21. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this? Dirt cheap defence with set pieces and fixtures to enable heavy attack.

    Pope.
    Trippier. Neco. Fofana.
    KDB. Sterling. Son. Martinelli.
    Haaland. Toney. Mitrovic.
    4.0. Andreas. Patterson. Emerson.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wait till Son starts firing again.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not bad, I would downgrade one of Sterling/Son to upgrade defense..rest looks good

      1. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This.

        That team does look good tho

    3. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      that actually looks immense. Tempted to copy

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good but Son isn’t worth it on current form
      Neco won’t keep many CSs

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting. But why buy Son? Kane is better, but he is not in top 3.

    6. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Quality team and finally something different.

    7. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks fun

  22. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haven't watched Leicester this season until today. What's the deal with Tielemans? He seems to be purposely avoiding getting into space when Leicester playing the ball out.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lol, then he gets the ball off the defence and provides the assist.

  23. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hopefully it stays like this until the 90th minute then Ward comes up for a corner and scores a bullet header.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Gets an assist with goal kick, and they scores a bicycle kick in the last minute?

      1. Dat Guy Welbz
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Dunk heads it on into his own net

  24. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ward may be one of the worst picks in FPL history.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Well he is the only 4.0 playing gk this season, so not as bad as the ones who don't start

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

        I disagree

      2. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He gets no points every single week, he is completely useless. If you spent 0.5M more you would have 26 more points with the template goal keeper Sanchez.

        1. Randaxus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          22 more points*

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Vorm 11-12
      Jakupovic 16-17 (mainly on my bench)
      Elliot 17-18

      was hoping to tap into a small, but glorious 4m GK history

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's the best bench GK. He's an insta pick on a wildcard.

  25. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know if Ramsdale is likely to start?

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

      I think so yes

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes in contention

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He’s been training & is in Manchester so very likely, same with Ode, outside chance of Zinc

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ward 😆

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

    Oh boy, Leicester is a mess.

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

    Bring on Iversen so I can get my CS

  29. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    FFS WELBECK WILL YOU PASS THE BALL

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

  30. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ward horror show

    1. have you seen cyan
