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.

      The bookies gave them a 62% chance of getting at least one CS. Taking that over "its brighton" was very understandable.

        I remember a time when Brighton were pretty decent at home. Feels like ancient history now...

      16 goals conceded at home all season averaging 1 a game. Against two of the worst away sides - both at scoring and defending set pieces.

    Looking to get salah for tc36, downgrading vardy to do this

    Do I
    A) get a sub 5.9 striker next week and do son to salah
    B) get Wilson and require a -4, downgrade Duffy to peltier probably
    C) Tc mane and get firmino for vardy

    1. QUEN

    VAR to save the day 🙂

      That's why I like VAR

        5 years, 1 month ago

        Me too

        A few seconds extra is ok as long as justice is done.

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      No idea how the referee even gave the penalty in the first place. Justice.

    Guarantee Brighton will do amazing next week

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Highly unlikely.

        The way this game is going lately I wouldn't be surprised

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      I doubt it. They are terrible

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      they’ll frustrate Wolves and Spurs but will still lose both games

    4. Alexis Nonsense

      I'm takin -8 hit to get rid of all my Broghton assets...that's how I feel about Brighton atm

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years

      Quite right, too.

    lol commentator can't believe it wasn't a foul, I didn't think it was one, Fred got the ball and rakitic came from behind him

  17. Rainer

    Studs into the ankle?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      United & VAR going to be worse than Fergie time.

    Selling both dunk and Duffy for a hit, even if it’s not worth it will feel great!

    1. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've got Knockaert and Deeney to sort out first or else I'd give it some thought as well.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sell them all, I’ve got a Deeney issue too.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yup I agree - a minus 8 has never felt so good.

    We’ve ruined our seasons with these Brighton based wild cards haven’t we - no points this week and they’ll get no points on bench boost 🙁

    Hold me

    1. diesel001

      If FPL was about picking players based on the outcome with the highest probability it would be easy.

      City beat Chelsea 6-0. Bournemouth beat Brighton 5-0. Liverpool drew with Leicester etc.

  22. diesel001

    Hughton probably bricking it now. They will be in real trouble if they lose this.

    Go straight to hell, Brighton. Via the Champo.

  24. Dr Dream

    Rashford miss number two...slipped...

  25. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Never a penalty. Fred got in there first and Rakitic went over.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Cardiff looking like they want to end the game early. Close to a second

    Brighton defence non existent

  27. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    This week 🙁

  28. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years

    Brighton will get 2 clean sheets next week. Don’t worry.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No chance

  29. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton subtly convincing me to take two extra hits just to squeeze Jota in

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t seem subtle.

      6 goals conceded in 1.25 matches.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Amazing stuff
