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.

    I wouldn’t mind if Ryan could make a few saves

    1. Bada Bing

      Ryan is only going to touch the ball when he's picking it up from the back of the net.

    Messi is on another planet. So good.

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      What's he ever done in FPL?
      CR7 a better pick...

  15. Debauchy

    Yep GOAT

  16. CloudSky

    Smalling playing?

  17. Dannyb

    I really struggle to get behind that United defence with Young in it.

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Someone needs to tho...

    I failed in my mission to avoid the score.

    Stunned at some the childish and taunting comments on here. Community spirit.

      Sorry but sometimes this community goes bonkers and group think is immense.. when it goes bad like this gw you just have to laugh at it.. very rarely has it gone right this season for many of the FFS wagoners..

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Quadruple Brighton defence for me wasn’t group think. It was a move I’d have done myself.

        Moves like this have been very successful in the past for me. Triple palace defence once got me in top 100 for the GW.

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 days ago

          I take responsibility for it but don’t think people who have gone for similar deserve abuse for a bold move

    2. George Sillett

      Unfortunately this is true and sadly usually it's the same pillocks posting this rubbish.

    I wish relegation upon Brighton.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Back to back? 😉

    2. McEwan
      • 14 Years

      I don’t have a problem with them going down, at the expense of Cardiff staying up, can’t get behind that. Next season they are doomed tho

  20. El-Kloppico

    Smalling should have tild Young the secret to stop Messi..

  21. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone contemplating sacking off bench boost and going triple captain Ageuro?

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      With three Brighton players and deeney on my bench, that is very tempting.

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 days ago

        Was saving for Salah like a lot for 36, but kinda feels right. Maybe...

    2. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      Yep, probably Sterling tho.

      Gives me time to rid my team of Dunk and Deeney for GW36 BB

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    DDG should have saved that

  23. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    Messi ledge tie over

  24. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 days ago

    That Messi goal doesn't make all that much difference, Realistically United had to score twice anyway. A 2-1 win would be good enough.

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 days ago

      He heard you 😉

  25. Don Kloppeone

        To be fair...we'd have been mad to go BRI attack.
        Sorry - thats not much of a defence.
