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.

    6, 12, 15, 6, 1 points from my GK Defence, can’t complain with 40 points from them

    Sterling(c) KDB(vc), Montoya first sub, Lundy second. Mount may not play. Gameweek salvaged.

      Mount minutes seem likely.

      Mount back in full training and moving freely....... looks like he is fit

        Booooooo

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years

      Almost the same. Sterlinc (c), KDB (vc), Lundy from the bench. Rico points from the bench if Mount doesn't play. Good stuff.

    1. Team Cruel

      No one relevant owns any player (apart from Button) from these two teams.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years

        Just an outrageously arrogant and incorrect statement

  10. TorresMagic™

    Could be Ryan 3 Webster 2 Dunk 1 if FFS is correct.

    1. OPTA FPL

        Dummett and Manquillo on 1 too.

  11. SB007
    • 6 Years

    Montoya in for Zinc. KDB as VC. It was a day that the back ups came in. Kelly 3rd sub in case anyone else don’t fancy it.

    Lundstrom laughing at me from 3rd on bench.. digne rubbing salt into wound..

  13. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years

    My WC pretty much coming down to Sterling or Aubameyang

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

    Pope & Ryan level after 6.

    A good battle!

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

      Ryan should have had more. Brighton have had so many 1 goal against in last minutes games...

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

        97th min pen vs Pope... if we’re going down that road.

        The point is the 4.5ms are looking good, 6.1m Ederson only a point ahead and hogging a City spot.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pope fixtures look great.. But i think i'm going to keep ryan.

  15. Sedemuda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Dunk & Lund of the bench for Sterling & Zinc. I'll take my first luck of the season!

  16. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    16 points from Ryan and Willems. lol

  17. DAZZ

  18. Magic Zico

    Nice present from Ryan and Wood today for keeping them since GW1, sadly time to go guys in WC ...

  19. Kun Salah
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Oh wow, 75 with TAA, Salah, Ceballos and Mount/Kelly/Greenwood to go

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nice

  20. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chilwell or Spurs Def to replace Mina?

  21. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling+ Tammy
    Or
    Mount + Aubameyang
    Already have Aguero & kdb

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Decide tomorrow.

    /me is feeling chuffed... Assuming the BPS don't shift too much in the later hours of the evening, I'm seeing full returns for Lund, Ryan, KdB (also the captain by dint of Sterling taking a day off). 65 (estimate) with Robertson, TAA, Ceballos, Jiménez, AWB and James or Diop to come... 0-0 tomorrow at Lah'n Stadium would not be a bad return I think.

  23. Champions united
    • 7 Years

    Who should go out first
    1.I was thinking of digne but after mendy zinc also need to move out

    2.Is it wise to have double pool def
    VVD TAA zinchenko digne

  24. Coys96
    • 6 Years

    41 from 6 after bonus... What you all on? 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      72 after baps and Rico sub, with TAA Salah Dendo left to play

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wow!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      8 played 🙁

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      My points don't come in until the end.

      Sterling (c), KDB (vc) and Lundstram first on bench. Jamminess at the highest level.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      55 from 7 (incl. captain) after bonus.

    5. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Two on my bench scored more than five on the pitch, sums it up!
      Salah becomes C for Razz & I get Lundy points.......

    6. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      63 including baps with TAA, Mane, Tammy and Kelly left. Lundy points if Kelly no show

    7. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      78 after autosubs and bonus, James or Kelly left. If Kelly plays all 3 subs used. Food for thought any teams with weak benches.

  25. BOATIES FC

    2ft and nothing pressing..

    Zinc to Otamendi for nailedness?

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

      Yea, good transfer that

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

    Exact cash to afford below without any rises - tempted to act early

    Pope
    TAA, Digne, Ota
    Salah, KDB, Son, Dilva
    Pukki, Wilson, Tammy
    (Button, Cantwell, Lundstram, Rico)

    Salah perma cap & Cantwell/Lundy haul from the bench when Dilva doesn’t play... or Maddison for Dilva either

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

      That looks pretty good.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think Everton clean sheets like chocolate fire guard.....

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

        I’m A.OK with holding Digne - he’s the kind of player I want in my team, not out of it, way too many ways to score

        Everton will come good, or at least will not stay that bad, they still have pretty much same personnel that broke records for CS’s towards end of last season

        It’s just the elusivity of form at the minute

  27. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    3 - Ryan (37)
    2 - Webster (28)
    1 - Dunk, Dummett, Manquillo (26)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Final?

    Is it madness to have a front six of

    Salah, Sterling, Mane, KDB, Cantwell

    Aguero

  30. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    3 questions that need answers please...

    1. Is it time to get off the Pukki train even with the fixtures?

    2. Time so sell Digne? Probably down to Soyuncu using a free.

    3. Is 64 with maybe Montoya off the bench and 5 to play decent?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No
      Good move
      Yes, and you know it

    2. JonBoy
      • 10 Years

      Yes to all 3.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No
      Maybe
      Boring and failed brag
