Murray starts against Cardiff as Duffy remains main focus

Glenn Murray (£6.4m) has returned to the starting line-up for Brighton.

The veteran forward was left on the bench for the 5-0 defeat Bournemouth on Saturday.

Also back in the side is Pascal Groß (£6.7m), making his first start since Gameweek 28.

After such a devastating result against the Cherries just a few days ago, it looks as if Chris Hughton has reverted to the 4-4-1-1 formation that brought more success for Brighton earlier in the campaign.

Solly March (£4.7m) is another returning face, stationed on the left of midfield, Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) on the opposite flank.

Bruno (£4.4m) comes in at right-back to captain the side, while defensive pair Shane Duffy (£4.8m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.4m) keep their places in the side – as does goalkeeper Mat Ryan (£4.4m).

It is these options where the majority of Fantasy interest lies. 66,000 managers captained Duffy for Double Gameweek 34.

22.72% of those in the top 10,000 form part of that number.

Given that Cardiff have allowed more headed attempts and shots from set pieces in the last six matches, there is every chance that Duffy could nick some attacking returns.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Dunk, Duffy, Bruno; March, Pröpper, Stephens, Jahanbakhsh; Groß; Murray.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bennett; Ralls, Gunnarsson; Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett; Niasse.

      Do you ever wonder where that 3rd point goes to when the result is a draw?
      Its such a shame that each team gets 1 point and the 3rd just gets binned.
      What a waste! 😆

      So can I ask why sp many people captained Brighton payers this week I know they have a double, but it's brighton. I captained Stirling this week because city obviously were playing Palace.

          You should email Joe to set up an interview on Meet the Manager.

          We need to get more advice from you "obviously" but it would be nice if you could do it before the deadline instead of after it in future. 😉

          Sterling was by no means certain to start. City didn’t score in the corresponding fixture last season and lost at home to Palace earlier this season. Brighton had two home games against sides that had not been scoring much.
          It made perfect sense.

                  I'd at least like to see Duffy (c) 12 points & Ryan 6 points temporarily.

              Very strange lineup for Juve.... benching their form player in Kean, and Dybala up top for a start....
