Trossard displays goal threat in impressive Brighton debut

Brighton 1-1 West Ham

Goals: Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) | Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez (£6.0m)

Assists: Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m)

Bonus Points: Lanzini x3, Chicharito x2, Lewis Dunk (£4.5m), Pascal Groß (£6.5m)

Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) was the standout performer for Brighton as they drew 1-1 with West Ham on Saturday.

The Belgian midfielder rewarded patience shown in him by owners who disappointed by his no-show in Gameweek 1 with a debut goal.

Manager Graham Potter had opted not to throw him, or any new signings, into a starting role away at Watford, but had no issues doing so at home to West Ham.

As we saw in pre-season, Trossard was deployed on the left side of striker Glenn Murray (£6.0m) in a 3-4-3 formation, Jurgen Locadia (£5.5m) dropping to the bench and Pascal Groß (£6.5m) occupying the left-wing slot.

Accordingly, he emerged from Saturday’s match with seven points and looks highly unlikely to lose his place for the Gameweek 3 visit of Southampton to the Amex Stadium.

“He had a really good season. They were champions over there and he is a hungry guy who wants to take that next step. From the Belgian League to the Premier League is, of course, a step, but he has got that quality as you can see. Our job is to help him make that transition. Of course, it is nice for us to attract these guys.” – Graham Potter

Trossard carried the most goal threat of any Brighton player against West Ham

We had expected Trossard to mainly offer creative potential this season but, based on this performance, the former Genk man is more about the goal threat than anything else.

No Brighton player looked more dangerous going forward than Trossard, who could have scored a hat-trick in different circumstances.

He had a first-half goal ruled out for offside by the Video Assistant Referee and screwed one chance over the bar before getting his hands on some FPL attacking points.

A high ball was lofted up to Murray who did well to hold it up before being tackled. Trossard picked up the scraps and found himself the space to shoot from the edge of the box, rifling into the bottom corner of Lukasz Fabianski‘s (£5.0m) net.

It must be said that Trossard did well to continue asking questions of West Ham’s defence after the emotional rollercoaster of his disallowed first-half goal.

Centre-back Dan Burn (£4.5m) crossed the ball back across the box in the second phase of a free-kick, for Trossard to drill a volley into the back of the net.

However, it was not until after Brighton had celebrated the incredible finish that referee Anthony Taylor disallowed it for an offside call against Burn, spotted by VAR.

The introduction of this technology into the Premier League has somewhat altered the ebb and flow of matches, with it being easy for disappointment to creep in having celebrated a goal.

However, Potter credited Trossard after the game with having the determination to not let that bother him.

“It (VAR disallowing goals) changes the atmosphere in the stadium a little bit. It goes from euphoria to almost disappointment but that is something we all have to deal with. I thought the players did it really well.” – Graham Potter

“It’s disappointing especially if you score a nice goal like that but you have to keep on going because it is a football game and you know that VAR is there. If you don’t stand up and it goes to your head, it’s not easy to keep on going so that is what you need to do.” – Leandro Trossard

Despite Trossard taking some set pieces in pre-season, it looks as if Groß is the main man for these once again this season.

However, the German midfielder continues to have his minutes managed, replaced by Neal Maupay (£6.0m) in the 67th minute and with Trossard offering more goal threat for £0.5m cheaper, he certainly seems the better option.

With Groß off the pitch for some of the second half, Solly March (£5.0m) and Aaron Mooy (£5.0m) also had a hand in corners and free-kicks.

For the second match in a row, Murray led the Brighton attack with Maupay only coming on as a second-half substitute.

However, Murray is still yet to complete 90 minutes this season. After managing 63 against Watford, he was replaced by Florin Andone (£5.0m) in the 73rd minute on Saturday.

Dan Burn has become an important part of Brighton’s back-three

Brighton appear to have a new set-piece target this season in centre-back Burn.

The 27-year-old carried plenty of threat from dead-ball situations, heading over from an early Groß free-kick and also providing the assist for Trossard’s disallowed goal.

However, placing trust in Brighton defence at this early stage under Potter’s management might be hard to justify.

Yes, the Seagulls kept a clean sheet away at Watford in Gameweek 1, but it was widely reported that the Hornets were dreadful and they did not create a single big chance for Brighton to deal with.

West Ham did not offer too much going forward either but still managed to break through and find the back of the net at the Amex Stadium.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez and Manuel Lanzini celebrate a goal for West Ham

In the second half, all it took was a well-timed Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m) pass from midfield to unleash Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez (£6.0m), who had beaten the offside trap.

The Mexcian forward only had to slot the ball underneath Mat Ryan (£4.5m) to hand West Ham a, probably, undeserved lead in the 61st minute.

“We know that Hernandez is a box player. When he has the option he normally scores.” – Manuel Pellegrini

At Brighton, West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini made five changes to the side that was thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City in Gameweek 1.

Two of these were forced as both Felipe Anderson (£7.0m) and Sébastien Haller (£7.5m) missed out with injuries, although Pellegrini is positive about whether or not they will return for the Gameweek 3 trip to Watford.

“I hope that both of them will be back next week. Sebastien Haller and Felipe Anderson.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Chicharito came in for Haller, while Pablo Fornals (£6.5m) was handed his first West Ham start in the place of Anderson. As we suggested as a possibility in our pre-season Scout Report, the Spaniard struggled to compete with his new colleagues for creativity.

Meanwhile, Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) took Aaron Creswell‘s (£5.0m) place at left-back and performed admirably, registering five tackles, two clearances, one interception and winning the ball back for West Ham’s goal.

Elsewhere Fabian Balbuena (£4.5m), an ever-present when fit last season, was dropped to the bench to allow Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) to start alongside Issa Diop (£4.5m).

West Ham’s defence is still an unreliable source of investment for Fantasy managers

The final change saw Robert Snodgrass (£5.5m) come in for Michail Antonio (£7.0m) as West Ham’s attacking midfield remains rather unsettled at this early stage of the season.

“We also have a lot of new players that arrived, players that are coming back from a long injury so I think it was useful not to lose a second game in a row. Maybe the first game we need to fix all the new players in their correct position.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Jack Wilshere (£5.0m) came in for some criticism from the local press for a poor display at Brighton.

The former Arsenal midfielder reportedly left Declan Rice (£5.0m) exposed at multiple points before being replaced by Antonio at half-time, although it seems his withdrawal was somewhat influenced by his fitness.

“Jack is like Carlos Sanchez, [Andriy] Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini – who played a lot of games in the last part of last season – he needs time, of course. He hasn’t played 90 minutes in a long time, so in every game and every minute he has he will be improving.”

The Eye Test

Ian Davey: “I’m not quite sure how Brighton didn’t win that match.

“Trossard is a STAR in the making.

“He had a goal ruled out by VAR and missed a big chance before finally scoring.

“It turns out he’s not on set pieces but was our main goal threat.

“There’s no chance he doesn’t start next week.

“Our defence still isn’t great and there are probably better £4.5 options out there, even if Montoya is playing at right wing-back.

“Despite getting into some good positions, he lacked quality in the final third which doesn’t scream FPL returns.

“March at left wing-back is also a no-go, in my opinion, given he is a midfielder in the game.

“I’d also avoid our forwards for now. Murray didn’t do much and doesn’t look like he can play for more than 70 minutes. 

“That said, Brighton are, on the whole, much more attacking than they were under Hughton.”

    Which is better?
    A) Martial & Rashford
    B) KDB & Barnes

    Replacements for Wilson & Perez

    1. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one, do you own Pukki? Martial no brainer imo, but KDB could also be essential...

      1. keotes

        Yes I got him last week. 🙂

        1. luk46
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I would actually say A, because of Mancs' fixtures... maybe toss a coin tho 😀

    Ceballos or Trossard or Mount to replace Barkley?

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

      Thinking trossard

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount imo

  3. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    How was Jota today?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No real impact.

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

        Bugger. Will keep for now though I suppose.

        Were United good defensively?

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pretty good, but not great. Wolves didnt have that much of the ball, but created at least 2 good chances (1 of em being the goal).

  4. Somar

    Evening lads. How long until price changes happen?

  5. UnitedFan

    Any news on Digne's injury?

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently he was just ‘tired’

  6. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Any reason I shouldn’t get Lanzini?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      West Ham not a free scoring side?

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

      We aren’t at full throttle but he will be the man to get us going for now. Good value pick I think with the set pieces and all

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think he's my Perez replacement. Does well when he's not injured

    4. cravencottage

      He was excellent last week. I have him and am holding

  7. Subzero (-4)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    How is this wild card looking without Kane. Gone a bit lighter at the back but gone for a power 5 midfield. Playing 3-5-2 with rotating 3rd defence slot.

    Pope
    Zinc wan b lundstraum
    Son mane sterling Kdb martial
    Jota pukki

    Button soyunco greenwood Kelly

    Is going Kane less stupid??? Or is son equal value.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It looks good.. but why no Digne on a wildcard? Already on 17 pts so far?

      1. Subzero (-4)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He was in mate but can't figure out how to get him in. Any ideas?i thought zinc and wan b would outscire digne and 4.5 defender

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Cantwell was so good as well as Pukki

  9. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Better combo to bring in?

    A) Soyuncu Martial
    B) Digne Mount

  10. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Perez --> Martial
    B) Perez --> Mount
    C) Perez, Rico --> Mount, Wan Bissaka (-4)
    D) Wilson, Robertson --> Kane, KWP (-4)

    Leaning towards B atm, but C would allow me to bench Wilson vs City and cover for possible Digne absence.

    Would appreciate any input/suggestions. Thanks!

  11. MaRooney 5

    What to do:

    Ryan
    Digne, Lundy, KWP, Robbo
    Fraser, McGinn, Salah, Sterlo
    Kane, Wilson
    Button, Greenwood, Hayden, Rico?

    2FT, 0 ITB
    thanks in advance!

    1. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Strong team. For me Wilson and Fraser out for martial and one of pukki jota. pukki has the form but fixtures are looking tough over the next 4 weeks. Jota could score well against Burnley

      1. MaRooney 5
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

        I was thinking similar, but not conviced by Pukki/Jota fixures

        I was toying with
        Robbo, Fraser, Wilson ti Walker, Martial, Rashford

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Perez to Martial and Wilson to Pukki for team below on 2 frees. Good enough to go? Moura a worry but Newcastle...... could always take -4

    1. Top Lad Dakes.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years

        I’m so tempted to hit the button!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          me too! my team is practically done, i just wanna hit it haha

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure if it’s the right time! So far with that team Ive shown I’ve made 7 changes... is that enough?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              for sure, 7 changes would warrant it i'd say. At the same time, it COULD be the right time, we could look back and think wow i'm glad i WC'd when i did

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Agreed. I’m already over 1m rank so I’m debating whether it’s the right time to be patient or not.

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Me too, then again it is only gameweek 2, but ground lost already isn't it, i reckon WC now is a good tactic

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

    Got Pukki in for Wilson, thinking I may just save the other FT and look at getting Son/KDB soon, via downgrading Perez (mcginn maybe?) and upgrading Siggy most likely. 1.3 ITB 1FT

    Pope // 4.0
    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko // Rico
    Salah Sterling Sigurdsson Perez // Dendoncker
    Pukki Jota // Greenwood

        Thanks 🙂 seem like a decent plan too? Give Perez and Siggy one more week w good fixtures

  17. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why do i just not feel like wanting Kane if i were to WC?
    Dunno what it is, i just can't trust the guy, suppose he's let me down too many times.

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

      I’m the same mate. More inclined to go for Son tbh if I did WC

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah agreed, but that's the other thing, i want Son but can't fit him in here:

        Pope
        AWB - VVD - Soyuncu
        Mane - Sterling - KDB - Martial - Mount
        Pukki - Rashford

            It is yes, its the team i'm on right now, opinions?

            or how would you get Spurs in? Just can't find a way

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              You've seen what I would do. I would go with Kane and no pool. Because he is cheaper and because there are several good midpriced options in midfield whereas the forward section looks dull bar Pukki, Barnes and maybe Jota

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I just can’t fit Spurs in!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

        me neither! It's done my head in that much that i think i'm just gonna have to go without them

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years

          Yes. Prefer to wait and see on Son anyway for that Palace fixture!

            • 12 Years

    WC time? Feel really unhappy with my team...but could be due some returns. Worried about falling too behind with no Spurs attack + no Man U players.

    Pope / Button

    TAA, Robbo, KWP / Lundy, Rico

    Salah, Sterling, siggy, trossard / Hayden

    Wood, Wilson, Jota

    Got 1 FT and 0.5 ITB

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      nah its good just do jota>pukki. You could take out one liverpool defender as well I guess, someone to rotate with Lundstram maybe. (play Lunds tho GW3)

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ty for reply mate, I did Wood to Pukki. Don’t think -4 would be smart for downgrading Pool defender right?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          idk, u think they keep cs vs arsenal? an attacking return isnt out the window tho. -4 for that sounds bad but likelihood is u get 2 points for each of them unless they get an attacking return. Just realised you dont have Digne, just wait until press conference for Everton game and asusming Digne is fine which im sure he is then you could think of that move.

          For you to decide think about anyway

            I wouldn’t be surprised to see a classy performance by them as response to critics...i appreciate it thanks man.

    How's Jota vs United? I didn't watch the game. Tempted to take him as Ings replacement.

    Wilson to Pukki already done. Wish to spend my another FT

    How is this WC looking?

    Heaton,Button
    VVD,Digne,Dunk,Kelly,Lund
    Sterling,Mane,Kdb,Ceballos,McGinn
    Auba,Pukki,Greenwood

  23. KrisMCFC

    Use 1 ft already for king > pukki

    Got stones (injured) , moura, Perez, vardy still in my team with Pérez and vardy looking to drop price imminently, who should I prioritise my second ft for or should I use a ft and take a -4 to get rid of 2 of the 4?

  24. Nicoson
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best 6 mil option?

    A)Trossard
    B)Mount
    C)Ceballos
    D)Grealish

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still McGinn ahead of all those.

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

        You reckon so? I’m eyeing him as possible Perez replacement, seems to have played well these first two weeks

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'm on WC and no intention of selling

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      =1st mids this week shots and 1 more on target than Sterling

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      BCAD

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B

      If you considering 5.5 options then go Moutinho, he has been seriously overlooked

  25. derdourily
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    have KDB +Bilva + Zinch from city

    A- Make a plan to get sterling
    B- Just do Bilva ---> Martial

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

    People - thoughts on Martial?

    Can’t really get myself interested if I’m honest... idk

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Prefer Rashford

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same. I'd have Rashford ahead of him but City Pool Spurs fixtures all more appealing short term

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      7.5 OOP forward for top 6 club.. no brainer

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Also look at his points per minute over the last 2 seasons.. we can extrapolate on that and if he plays 3000 minutes (very likely with his new number 9 role), he would have outscored the likes of Mane and Aguero last season

    4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Boring.

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He looks poo but he scores goals. Rashford for shared set pieces and pens for 1m more and deeper role

    6. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's no good but...looks stuck with the #9 role in a top 6 team.

  27. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you wc this team? I am on -4 already

    Heaton Button
    TAA Zinchenko Duffy Diop Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Perez McGinn
    Wilson Pukki Greenwood

    Was thinking about something like this:

    Pope Button
    VVD AWB Zinchenko Lundstram Kelly
    Mane Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Kane Pukki Greenwood

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't change that mid except for Perez and maybe Mane instead of Salah

  28. Perthite
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Should I do 3 of these for a hit?
    (Or WC)

    A: Robbo->AWB
    B: Perez->Martial
    C: Jota->Pukki
    D: Siggy->Ceballos

    Pope Heaton
    VVD Robertson Walker-Peters Lundstrom Digne
    Sterling Salah Siggy Perez Dendonker
    Wilson Jota Greenwood
    2FT 0m

    1. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just two of those should be fine imo

  29. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fun theoretical free hit team for this gw only.

    Lloris
    KWP, VVD, Lundstram
    Sterling, Mane, KDB, Mount, Trossard
    Kane, Pukki

    Please rate 1-10 and say if it can be improved. Am I missing something? E.g. Watford assets vs West Ham or vice versa? Man Utd coverage vs CPL?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane + Trossard > Son + Martial ?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        is trick question?

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, but that's 4 Spurs players, and I think Mane will haul vs Arsenal.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          sorry, didn't see Lloris there!

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      VVD to AWB. Man Utd are keeping a cleanie vs Crystal Palace. Baps incoming

  30. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I guess selling Jota,Perez and Moura is gonna backfire immensely.
