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.

    Per BBC:

    "Where is a Brighton goal going to come from? They're offering so little in attack, and Cardiff are getting the ball back time and again."

    So this is going well...team is set up below for a Bench Boost in GW35...but considering a TC option now...BB final game of the season?

      Not for me. Two games still maximises your chances of getting points from bench players.

    Why isn't Duffy on the DGW35 Captain Poll?

      Betting vs own captain these times would mean serious cash.

      Harry Kane style?

  19. Richd

    Ryan dunk Duffy Deeney is a real issue for BB.

    1. NWA
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      You must take a hit to make your BB relevant

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Transfer em out, easy

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Aye. I have VVD Mane and Firmino instead...

    4. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      It’s not ideal!

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      What you thinking? I have valery instead of dunk but might roll and transfer make 2 or 3 transfers and bench boost in 36

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

        Dunk was always going.

        Deeney needs to go

        Now I’m happy to keep Duffy on a bench boost but Ryan is the dilemma.

        Easily fixable but the -8 could be a step too far !

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Yep, not sure it’s worth a -8 when I wanted to get salah in for 36 as well. Not really gone to plan, these chips are more of a headache than previous seasons!

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

            Hindsight makes me regret the Brighton defenders but I’d do it again under similar circumstances.. there was potential.

            I guess a -4 can sort it with minimal damage and then we move on.

            Deeney was unforeseen after all !

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 11 days ago

              Deeney was unlucky and I’m the same, love a dgw so not annoyed about doing it as made sense at the time

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Standard 35 team save an FT for a mini WC -4 in 36.

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

      Yes - you wouldn’t expect anything more than 4 points each.

    7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Ryan ok I think surely save points due

  20. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Ronaldo goal.

  21. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Ajax player trips his own player and therefore goal stands. Ronaldo goal.
