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.

    Hopefully Brighton get relegated - absolutely trash. Their squad is almost as bad as Huddersfield on paper

      Funny how it took you 35 gameweeks to voice this opinion 😉

        It really didn’t - ask Jonty

    Pogba and Fred are dead weights! OGS going for damage limitation rather than throwing the kitchen sink... interesting!

    Really impressed with this Ajax team

    1. Rainer

      Shame it'll be dismantled n the summer.

      1. drughi

        yep

        This is the sad thing. Frenkie already gone to Barca, wouldn’t be surprised to see De Ligt and Neres at least go too

    2. Zladan

      High work rate and everyone quick to release the ball.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Like Brighton (to the opposition)

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        reminds me of the football conte brought to Juve awhile back

  4. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I think all this Brighton hate is a bit unnecessary.

    I wish them all the best in the Championship next season.

  5. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years

    Huh!
    Duffy,Deeney > Bednarek,Wilson -4?

  6. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Surely you bring on Lukaku and maybe even Sánchez to just go for it now...

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No need to risk them ahead of a big derby

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Them two? United need to score.

  7. circusmonkey

    Is there a scoutcast or are they at the game?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Az is too upset to speak

  8. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bednarek, Yoshida or Valery

    Pick 1

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery. Apparently just cramp and not injured.

  9. Debauchy

    Credit to Warnock and Cardiff . Taken many low blows but still fighting. Hope they stay up.

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Warnock is a great figure

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      And they still won’t pay for sala despite celebrating him as their own player. I hope they go down at the wire

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        1 billion percent this.

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Nothing to do with Warnock and the players, irrelevant to my point then

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Warnock is like Brexit.

      You hate it, it gets under your skin, but what else would you talk to Brian at work about.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Really

  10. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I’m worried for United. Out of all cups and in danger of finishing outside too 4.

    Style of play is reverting back to Mourhinio and Pogba has regressed.

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If they end up sacking Ole in the summer then the board will have proved what complete fools they are.

  11. Kuzser
    • 6 Years

    Really want Brigton to be relegated now...2 rubbish home games, no passion, no idea how to attack. Cardiff deserves to stay

  12. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Some seriously salty Brighton defence owners here wishing for relegation upon the club.

    Have a word.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why? I'm wishing for Cardiff survival

    2. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Well someone has got to go down. People might as well wish it is the club they want.

    3. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Well with the performance they're showing they fully deserve it.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Still got them for wk35. Need them to stay up.

  13. BooYaKasha
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    For BB 35
    Brooks or Ward-Prowse?

  14. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Murray consolation please.

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd rather he didn't if that's alright 🙂

  15. Superflymonk

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lol 7 goals conceded in 2 games and Ryan doesn't have a single save point. Take my advice guys, sell brighton assets for a hit. I have a feeling they'll end up on negative points after wolves and spurs are done with them.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan has been rubbish all season, trust me I've owned him!

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think the same. Might keep Ryan as there are save points to be had, and less chance of a booking.

      But Duffy is toast.

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I brought him in for this DGW to replace Fabs as my second keeper. Can’t see him replacing Ederson in my team between now & the end of the season unless there’s an injury.

    Ajax playing some beautiful football, and playing Juve off the park.

    Why are the Barca fans shouting Ole's name repeatedly?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The Gunnar regret it when he comes on to score a 90 min hattrick

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I see what you did there.

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        After DDG's goal, of course

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago
