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.

    100% of FPL now in favour of Brexit (and Cardiff staying up as a result)...

  24. Jimmy Boy

    Dunk > TAA a no-brainer?

    1. bhh
      • 5 Years

  25. Amey
    • 5 Years

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
        5 years, 9 days ago

        No idea why anyone thought it would go too differently from this to be honest.

        DGW blinkers firmly on.

      • Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        Time for a goal yet 😉

        Brighton still have Wolves, Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs and City left to play. They are down

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 days ago

          Cardiff have tricky games too.

          1. BigBillyBass
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 9 days ago

            Cardiff only need 1 more win and they’re safe. Brighton won’t pick up another point

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 9 days ago

              Cardiff only need one more win and they are safe?

              You’re delusional

              1. BigBillyBass
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 9 days ago

                Brighton will lose their next 5 games. So yes, if Cardiff win 1 more game they are safe.

              5 years, 9 days ago

              Football rarely works that way, though.

              Just as likely to go and turn Spurs over next week.

              1. BigBillyBass
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 9 days ago

                Absolutely no chance in hell

      • Tasty Jerk
