Potter tinkers again as Murray and Duffy benched for Brighton

Brighton manager Graham Potter continues to prove himself as unpredictable as far as tactics and team selections are concerned.

Once again, he has rolled out a completely different system to last time out as the Seagulls prepare for an away match at Newcastle.

Potter has lined up his troops in a 4-3-1-2 system lead by Neal Maupay (£6.0m) and budget midfielder Steven Alzate (£4.5m).

Unafraid of keeping his senior players on their toes, the manager has also put Glenn Murray (£5.8m) and Shane Duffy (£5.0m) on the bench.

That makes for a centre-back partnership of Lewis Dunk (£4.6m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m), while Dan Burn (£4.5m) retains his left-back berth of a week ago after playing in the middle for the first four matches of the season.

Meanwhile, Martín Montoya (£4.5m) has recovered from tonsilitis and reclaims his place at right-back and Aaron Mooy (£4.9m) gets his first start in midfield.

By contrast, Newcastle go with their tried and tested 5-3-2 formation, led by Joelinton (£5.9m) and Miguel Almirón (£5.9m).

However, there is unlikely to massive FPL interest in this Saturday evening game as the most popular player on show will be on the Brighton bench.

David Button (£4.0m) remains in 25% of teams and is also the most fashionable shot-stopper among managers inside the top 10,000 as well.

Dunk is the most popular playing asset, currently in 11% of teams, while no Newcastle player is owned by more than Isaac Hayden‘s (£4.5m) 6.5%.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Dummett, Lascelles, Schär, Manquillo; Atsu, Shelvey, Hayden; Almirón, Joelinton.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Montoya; Mooy, Stephens, Pröpper; Groß; Alzate, Maupay.

        Not a season-keeper.

    I should probably get KdB at some point.

    1. TheDragon

      I’m literally a 1 man team this season (KDB) - as in he is the only person who ever scores me any points

    Ragabolly/LiveFPL.net down for all?

      Give it 5 minutes so traffic will decrease

      Down for me. Too much traffic as everyone checks those KDB points

    Please football gods,Mount not to play tomorrow to get Lundstram's 12.....PLEASE!!!!!

    1. Teomi

      This

    2. KGFC

      With you!!! I think Lampard should "protect" him for the easy run in... No point taking a risk... Play Barkley

  4. Dacra

    Need a Greenwood no show for Lundstram to replace sterling..

  5. LeicesterA

    4 years, 6 months ago

    I went through that game thinking KDB was my VC for Sterling. Such joy.

    Quite the horror when I logged in to check my points with content and realise it’s on Pukki.

    I suck. Meh.

        hero to zero

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yep me to, I feel your pain

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lund 3rd on my bench absolutely raging

      I’ve benched both his double digit hauls and Robinson’s 15 pointer - I’d be top 100k easy (c40 points swing) -
      But no ... here I am at 1m OR despite having KDB captain

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He's third on my bench too but I'm probably getting his point, jammy I know. At least you got captain right.

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram coming third off my bench for 45 with Auber (C), VvD, Robbo and Mount to play

      I feel like that's pretty fair considering no Aguero

    4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is it unreasonable to begrudge sterling (c) kdb (vc)?

      Feel like actual kdb captainers took something of a risk and got much reduced reward.

      Complain complain

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sort of

        Sterling captainers did know that historically if he doesn’t start he gets 0 minutes - also if he had started who knows how many he would have got

        So I think it actually feels more unfair than it really is

        1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          As long as they knew that first I'm fine with that :).

          Feeling extra salty because I don't have sub coming on (mount/greenwood) for my sterling (not captain) and everyone else has lundy or Rico coming in

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        more risk in captaining the player more likely to be rotated

        1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Hah, you won't convince me they deserve those points :p

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood off the bench for Sterling!! Let's hope he starts following Solskjaer's recent comments!

    6. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Chances of Mount not playing and getting Lunds points?

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Think he'll play some part

    7. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram providing the goods once again!

    8. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Will son rise tonight?

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        More likely in the morning

      2. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Did you captain KDB?

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Of course

          1. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Nice.

    9. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder what was Agueros xG today! Must be one of the biggest underachievers in a quite some time!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He’s cancelling out Tammys positive variance, thus keeping the metric pure at the bottom line level thus indisputable evidence of XG’s accuracy

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Why is it always the wrong way around... (Aguero owner and Tammy non owner)

    10. Kno
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstrom and pieters off the bench for zinck and raz. Could deff be worse.

    11. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram and KDB saving my Gameweek.

      Now a brace from Auba (C) and it could be a good one after all.

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Samesies

      2. FPL_Gyarados
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Same. Salah (c) for me though

      3. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nopes, I'm looking for a Hattie!!

    12. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      So Aguero (C) and De Bruyne is 35 points but KDB C is 34. Dodged a bullet there.

    13. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      VC change from KBD to Pukki probably one of my costlier mistakes this season...

      Figured if him and Sterling he was more of a rotation risk 🙁

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Of*

      2. Tomerick
        • 9 Years

        My condolences.

    14. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best GW this year so far in terms of points. Will finally break out of the 4 million bracket. But left thinking what could have been had Kun taken even half of his chances.

    15. gers23
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Matip nailed? Looking at him to replace Digne

    16. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      43, green arrow, with TAA, Matip, Salah (c) Haller + Greenwood or Lundstram to go.

      Was worried not having Aguero at the start of that, relieved now.

    17. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years

      Chances of kelly starting tomorrow ???

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I hope he doesnt. Slim chance given Tomkins, Sakho and Cahill all fit.

    18. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes to Abraham before price rise? Got plenty ITB

      Been thinking of upgrading Greenwood to a ~6 but going to be difficult.

    19. GuillermoDickero
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who is the best option out of Aurore and Ota?

      Did ota go off because of an injury or to be rested?

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        *aurier

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Rested and to give Garvia some minutes given that the game was done and dusted. I'd got otamendi, goal threat and better defence

    20. Andy'81
      • 6 Years

      Get your relegation six pointers out, Mon NUFC and Andy Carroll.

    21. Mr. Grv

      Chances kelly doesnt start tommorow ?

      This aged poorly, KDB (VC) Lundy off the bench, and i was able to laugh at aurier. Lovely afternoon

    23. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not feeling sorry from them but Kun captainers were very unlucky there.

      Seems half the site have Sterling C, KDB VC and Lundstram 1st sub.

      Some swings can be very cruel.

      1. MTPockets
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah that's the aspect that stings most

        • Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          And will lead to me banging the drum concerning half points for auto-subs and VC again 😉

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            😛

          Cry me a river

          They deserve it for all the gloating 20mins in

          It’s just variance - it’ll all even out over the season (from someone
          Who is a : KDB captainer, sterling owner and Lund 3rd on the bench so not get his points)

      2. R.C
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Absolutely hate FPL omg lmao

        Benched Pukki and Cantwell last GW

        Benched Lundstram and Rico this GW

        1. Alsanibra
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Me too, though kwp and sterling no shows have cheered me up no end!

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I benched Lundy and Lowton.
          Mina own goal and Walker pulled early.

          Suck on that
