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.

    Liverpool should go in for De Ligt. A defence of:
    Alisson
    TAA DeLigt VVD Robbo

    Would be IMMENSE

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems

      Bin off Robbo for the triple anagram defensive quad up.

    2. Marvin of all he surveys
      • 7 Years

      He's on his way to Barca apparently.

        Doubt Ajax would let Barca poach De Ligt and De Jong but never know if they shell out the cash.

        Would fit better at LFC imo

        1. Marvin of all he surveys
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Don't forget Gomez dude.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years

            Goes to right back TAA to midfield

          Ajax are a selling club. They will go.

    3. Tempestic
      • 5 Years

      Was saying this last summer, if Gomez can stay fit though I think he's equally brilliant

    4. Ask Yourself

      Jesus imagine. Will more likely go Barca with de jong tho

    5. El-Kloppico

    Some truly awful defending, amazing how players cannot time jumps properly...need some basketball defensive training. They look like such spazzes.

    First priority for next GW.... get rid of RYAN and DUFFY and bring back Fraser.
    Anyone watching Man Utd getting a football lesson from Barcelona. Only Liverpool might give Barca a game. Man Utd so overrated. They could play Barca for a week and not score.
    paul pogba must be wondering why he went back to Utd to play alongside the likes of Phil Jones etc.

    This 19-year old De Ligt could prove to be even better than v.Dijk.
