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.

      has anyone checked?

    2. TheDragon

      I knew Ryan was rubbish that’s why I went for Dunk instead, much better

    Cardiff have Fulham to play and I can see Brighton losing every game

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Brighton will keep a clean sheet against Wolves when we captain Jimenez - you know it will happen

  7. GE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    1, 2 or 3? 🙂

    1) Deeney -> Gray
    2) Deeney and Doherty -> Wilson and max 4.3 def (-4) (Kiko/Johnny)
    3) Deeney and Duffy -> Wilson and Yoshida (-4) (have Bednarek)

  8. Ask Yourself

    Can we organise a debrief after this many people actually captained Duffy I think we achieved someothing great here and each and every one of us should be proud

  9. waitinginthelonggrass

    Need another defensive option for the DGW. Have exact funds for Mariappa to Mendy?

    Worth a punt?

    Seagulls why not shoot'em all

    What a pick Peltier is. A cs for 3.9 I will take this

  12. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Look on the bright side, not often defenders can concede 7 in the same GW and still end up with a positive score

  13. Maddi Son

    3-1 Ajax.. wow

    Why do I never listen to my instinct which for weeks before screamed don’t play with the seagulls coz they’ll shite on you.

      BB for me too this week and 71 all out, good work my man!

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        What strategy did you go for other gameweeks? WC32 FH33 BB34 here, using TC next week i think.

        1. Chris_H
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 days ago

          No I burnt it about 10 weeks ago, used FH in 32 which worked well and I just thought BB this week and TC next week looked better on paper. Let’s hope it turns out so!

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 days ago

            Currently on Jimenez myself, you? gl

            1. Chris_H
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 9 days ago

              Probably...I have Haz and Vardy who I don’t really want to sell so can’t bring in any City

      2. Chris_H
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        (or even 78, can’t count..)

  18. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Can you inspire me please?

    a) Duffy + Deeney --> Meh + Meh
    b) Duffy + Deeney --> Blugh + Blugh
    c) Duffy + Deeney --> Pants defender + Pants striker

    all for a -4

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      A or B. C way too risky.

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Who was on the Ryan+Dunk+Duffy(C) bus?

    1. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Nearly but saw a great stat on here from someone about Brighton clean sheets and Duffy goal threat, so I changed captain to son and dunk to Morrison

    2. Oz
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      you'd have to be crazy with that. I had Ryan + Duffy + Murray (c). Eight points and laughing.

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      I went for Murray, Dunk and Duffy (c).

      Murray returned as many points as:

      Aguero, Lacazette, Jiménez, Deeney, Arnautovic, Rashford, Kane and the impossible to ignore, Ashley Barnes COMBINED.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Definitely not combined but I hear you bro haha

    I hear Cardiff had quotes from Joe posted all over Training ground this week and his name was mentioned during warnocks pre-match team talk.

    ill always go for dgwers tho even if theyre shiite....

    i remember that glorious hull dgw, whcih everyone avoided cos hull were crap, and they scored massive points

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Same here, cuellar and Sessegnon was brilliant as well a few years ago

    2. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I did the same 2 seasons running with Sunderland. Went double Sunderland def both years and got double clean sheets, and possibly a pva goal I think.

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

        I remember a good Sunderland double defence double gameweek too. Good times.

  23. WVA

    Any BAPS for Etheridge?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I moaned when the team on this page provided some bad advice, so in the interest of balance I’d like to thank them for suggesting Sean Morrison in the scout picks and highlighting his attacking threat. I brought him in on my wc for dunk 30 mins before the deadline on Friday evening.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Good. For. You.

  25. Waylander
    • 7 Years

    40 points all out post WC. My pre-WC team outscored my current by 35 points. Oops.

    1. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Fingers crossed next week pays off for you. That’s what the wc was about really, right?

      1. Waylander
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah but didn't expect to get hammered his week. Oh well, live and learn.

  26. aleksios

    The best hit will be this friday.
    Murray+Dunk to Ings+TAA.

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

      Same but Deeney+Duffy my two out probably.

  27. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Juve very frustrated here. They can't string 2 passes together. Ajax deserving of this win.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Ajax too good

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Yep. Juve can't handle the high intensity. They seem surprised that every second ball falls to an Ajax player.

  29. barracuda

    Juve need 2 goals to go through or?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      yes

      1. barracuda

        5 years, 9 days ago

        Cooked. Shame
