Scout Notes

Brighton assets impress ahead of Norwich game but tricky fixture run awaits

Brighton and Hove Albion 3-2 Everton

  • Goals: Pascal Gross (£6.4m), Neal Maupay (£6.0m), Lucas Digne (£6.0m) own goal | Adam Webster (£4.4m) own goal, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m)
  • Assists: Aaron Connolly (£4.6m) x2, Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) | Richarlison (£7.9m), Mason Holgate (£4.4m)
  • Bonus: Maupay x3, Mathew Ryan (£4.7m), Calvert-Lewin x2

A late comeback fuelled by yet another controversial VAR call earned Brighton victory over a desperately unlucky Everton.

Under Marco Silva, the Toffees have never won after falling behind, so the signs were not good when Pascal Gross (£6.4m) blasted home a free-kick in the 15th minute following a foul on Aaron Connolly (£4.6m).

But an Adam Webster (£4.4m) own goal and a fine finish from substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) then left the visitors just 16 minutes to survive and break their manager’s personal hoodoo.

They managed only six before VAR waded in.

A pass into the area, aimed at Connolly, looked innocuous enough, with Michael Keane (£5.5m) in close attendance and the ball about to sail over the Brighton striker’s head. Connolly promptly fell to the floor, much to Keane’s disgust, and referee Andy Madley waved play on.

VAR, however, had other ideas.

Replays showed that Keane had accidentally trodden on the forward’s foot and a penalty was awarded. The bar, previously set so high for overturning on-pitch decisions, had suddenly been lowered dramatically, and seemingly randomly, based on a refereeing error that was sort of clear but definitely not obvious.

Not that Brighton striker Neal Maupay (£6.0m) cared, and he duly slotted home the spot-kick for his second goal in three Gameweeks to level the match.

It was interesting to note that Maupay took the Seagulls’ penalty despite the fact that Glenn Murray (£5.6m), Albion’s hitherto first choice from 12 yards, had just taken to the field upon the spot-kick award.

Everton could be excused for feeling a strong sense of injustice over the call, and their mood was certainly not improved by the nature of Brighton’s winner either.

Substitute Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), who was a lively presence when replacing Gross after 65 minutes, put in a low ball from the left which Lucas Digne (£6.0m) could only turn into his own net – a 94th-minute winner of epically painful proportions for the Merseysiders.

It hurt Digne’s 20.2% ownership as well, the left-back ending the match on -1 point when, earlier in the game, he looked to have produced his first attacking return since Gameweek 4 for his part in Everton’s equaliser.

It was his corner that ended up in the back of the Brighton net via, at first glance, the head of Richarlison (£7.9m). A few glances later, it became clear that Seagulls defender Adam Webster (£4.4m) had diverted the ball past Ryan, with the Brazilian handed an assist and Digne given nothing.

The pair are the most popular Everton outfield assets in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) – Richarlison is owned by 6.6% – although both have lost plenty of owners in recent weeks.

Plenty more look likely to jump ship by the time Gameweek 14 ushers in a brutal run of games at Leicester City, Liverpool and Manchester United and visits from Chelsea and Arsenal.

Before then there’s a trip to Southampton and a home match with Norwich City from which Richarlison might prosper.

He put in a good shift at the Amex Stadium, in terms of both shots and chances created, and has produced attacking returns in back-to-back games for the first time since Gameweek 5. Throw in the fact that the midfielder played as a forward on Saturday and he might well be worth keeping, for now at least.

As a team, the Toffees deserved better from the game, out-shooting their opponents 10-8 and firing six shots on target to Brighton’s four.

But with just one clean sheet to their name since Gameweek 2 and a visit from Spurs up next, there won’t be many Fantasy managers queuing up to buy their players. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Digne is currently in the top five for transfers out.

Defensive matters weren’t helped by a knee injury to Yerry Mina (£5.4m) which ruled him out on the morning of the game. Mason Holgate (£4.4m) was drafted in to replace him and he provided the precise pass that led to Calvert-Lewin’s goal.

Silva also opted to keep Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) in the side at right-back, even though Seamus Coleman (£5.4m) was available after serving a one-match ban.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) was again left on the bench, meanwhile, although he replaced Bernard (£6.5m) after half an hour when the winger picked up a knee injury.

The Brazilian was seen later leaving the Amex on crutches.

Injury issues were of little concern to the manager post-match. Instead, he was all about that VAR.

Silva said:

The decision had a big impact. If VAR found that penalty it has to do the same in the opposite box (for a perceived foul on Richarlison).

It is difficult for them [the players] to understand why it happened to us, but you have to respect the decision and keep going. The next game is a different competition and if we have an ambition to go to the final, we have to win.

That next game is a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie with Watford – a match that karma might consider letting the Toffees win.

Brighton boss Graham Potter preferred to talk about cosmic balancing issues of his own, saying:

We’ve had a few that haven’t gone our way recently, so if we have had a bit of luck then I think those that have watched us over the last ten games would probably say that we’ve earned that fortune.

As for his players, they’re likely to garner as much short-term interest as their Everton counterparts.

They’ve now won back-to-back home matches, but they’ve lost three straight on the road and, after hosting Norwich in Gameweek 11, will have to play Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal away while welcoming Leicester to a south coast the Foxes have developed quite the taste for visiting.

Gross backed up an assist in Gameweek 9 with his first goal of the season against the Toffees, while Trossard looks likely to return to the starting XI now that he’s fit and firing again.

Defence remains a feast-or-famine area, however. They’ve kept a perfectly reasonable three clean sheets to date but have conceded at least two goals in five of the other seven matches they’ve played.

Goalkeeper Mathew Ryan (£4.7m), with 42 points, is their most productive player and he earned two bonus points for a fine display at the weekend which included one very sharp save to keep out Webster’s shot at a second own goal of the game.

Much like Everton, their players might be worth holding on to but bringing new ones in looks misguided until their schedule eases from Gameweek 16 onwards.

And if you really must insist on having a Brighton-based punt, the 0.2%-owned Trossard would at least be the very definition of a differential once he re-establishes himself in the Albion starting XI.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-4-2): Ryan; Montoya (Schelotto 66′), Webster, Dunk, Burn; Gross (Trossard 65′), Stephens, Propper, Alzate; Connolly (Murray 80′), Maupay.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Sidibe, Keane, Holgate, Digne; Davies, Gomes; Walcott (Delph 72′), Bernard (Sigurdsson 29′), Iwobi (Calvert-Lewin 72′); Richarlison.

      I think Wilson has to go.

      Triple city attack could be brilliant, but aguero minutes is a lottery as ever.

      Sell one of those Rico’s. Otherwise hold till next GW

        I'd happily have 2 ricos if I could

      I'd find a replacement for Soyuncu, decent for low price but you get what you pay for...

  2. HurriKane

    Imagine a backline of ---- Aurier Otamendi Mustafi Young.------- Stuff of nightmares

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Walking red card, two walking disasters and a pensioner.... This could work.

  3. Samurai Blue
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pukki.

    Unless you are going to upgrade him to Vardy or a big hitter, I do not see anyone better than him with the upcoming fixtures. The only real option I see is Jimenez. But EL could be a problem.

    1. Superkitten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good luck with that.....

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Holding people like him too long is what ruins your season

      1. Samurai Blue
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I fully agree. But he has to be an upgrade if you have the money.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Upgrade another player.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Judge other strikers on recent fom v Pukki not on 10 GWs. Connolly and Mousset are better options. Maybe not nailed but getting points. Pukki isn't.

  4. Legohair

    How to fit Vardy in?

    4. Superkitten

      C for me. Martial is absolute gold.

    5. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Easy A

  6. Kiwi Don
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A)Mendy and McGinn

    Or

    B) Rico and Martial

    With City and Villa’s upcoming fixtures and Man Utd playing some lower teams thinking Martial could do well.

    What do you guys reckon is the better option?

    Cheers

  11. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Question.

    Clearly the premium defenders are the most desirable (TAA, Pereira, Mendy etc) but are there more points to be mined through seeking value?

    Posted earlier, given their fixtures, it's possibly worth considering a blades double up in defence with Lundstram now.

    In the next 9 games (5 at home) only one, Spurs away, would seem to be daunting. Plus, we all have a bench to use in any case.

    Their defence is offering superb value and more importantly delivering points.

    O'Connell (4.5!) and Stevens (5.0) are pretty nailed and each averaging 5 points or so in the last 5 games, which included matches against Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.

    The other option of course is Henderson (4.6) but like me you might be slow to use a transfer on a keeper, if you don't already have him.

    Good luck.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      As a part of -4 move i have brought in O'Connell so yes I do think that this is a potentially good investement.

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think they are definitely below the radar. O'Connell is one of the top scoring defenders in the game with decent fixtures and 2.5m cheaper than TAA. Crazy

    2. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      don't fancy to double up, will play Lundstram as third def most of the games.

    3. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not a bad idea it's just that I like spreading the risk when it comes to cleansheets and not focus on one team unless I'm totally convinced they'll do well

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        True. Ten games in has reassured me though. Decent fixtures too and nice options to come off the bench for auto subs

    4. Conik
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It's not an either or. Henderson and Lund double, TAA and Robbo double. It's an absolute miracle that the Liverpool fullbacks are currently as low scoring as they are.

  12. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just found out I could've done Wilson to Ayew freeing up Cantwell to D. Silva. But priced out by 0.1 due to Silva's rise. Had I thought of it would've done it. Too late now, next best option for 7.6 mid and below?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Blessing in disguise. Martial is a better pick than Dilva.

      1. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Was he dangerous? Didn't watch the game.

      2. Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Really? He's so injury prone.

        1. Superflymonk
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          D. Silva linkup play with Sterling is really, really good. I watched those games and trust me if they continue that way Silva's pts are going to rocket. There's the rotation problem tho. Yeah, he looked dangerous and had the best opportunity to score in the 1st half. UTD scored alot today because it was Norwich. They usually just do 1-1 and 1-0 so that's why I'm not keen on Martial. City looking more and more like the beast they were last season.

    A) Tielemans
    B) CHO
    C) Downgrade Boly to 4.5 and get Martial for a hit.

    1. GreennRed

      C and Pulisic?

    2. nerd_is_the_werd

          I would probably just do Wilson and Ota to Jimi and maybe Mendy? Sterling no longer essential

    Rashford and Martial good options or just Norwich who is really bad?

    1. WWF
      • 6 Years

      Norwich helped

    2. Champ

      Not rash imo. Martial an option for sure. Good fixtures too

        Why no rash?

          I just think he's inconsistent and drifts in and out of games too much for my liking

    (Eye test) A word on Brighton as a fan, we've lost three of our last four away games (not our last three) and two of those were away at MCI and CHE and the loss to AVL we were down to 10 men for 60 minutes and were the better team so this is slightly misguided. As David says holding any BHA options is wise at least until GW13 although I wouldn't bring in any defenders as the fixtures will likely affect their points however; Pascal Groß (£6.4m) has regularly proved he can deliver against the 'big six' and has scored 3 goals in 4 games against MUN. Neal Maupay (£6.0m) and Aaron Connolly (£4.6m) have both scored already scored against TOT and both are great cheap differentials with Maupay unsurprisingly looking more threatening, with Connolly effectively being a work horse winning multiple free kicks and 'that' penalty. Finally Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) showed no signs of his seven-week injury lay off (as analysed MOTD) he was a huge threat in his 30 minute cameo against Everton and the fact the winner was provide by him was no surprise whatsoever. Hope this helps anyone that reads

      cheers mate. what are the chances of Connolly losing his place in the starting XI against the big teams (ie formation change or Trossard taking his place)

      1. Jakedmat01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It's a difficult one he's probably the most likely to drop out of the starting due to his experience XI however Trossard could replace either Alzate (who started on the left against Everton) or Groß but you're spot on if he's going to be rotated it'll be due to a formation change more than anything else

      Thanks.

      I'm thinking of bringing in Connelly for Norwich (and to upgrade elsehwhere.)

      Would you suggest I play him vs. Norwich team? Maupay is the better option but Connelly has looked lively.

        Connolly is definitely the best striker under £5.0m in FPL duehowever the reason he's at that price is because of his uncertainty of starts I would definitely start him in GW11 against Norwich as he'll definitely get minutes probably from the start as its a home game. As stated above Connolly is an extremely willing runner (hence how he got the two assists vs Everton by winning two 'fouls') but Maupay definitely carries the larger goal and creative threat.

      Could have been hottopic but Looking at their run of mun liv lei arsenal in next 5, its a moot point

        This is an extremely bias view but don't think NOR, mun and LEI are that bad of fixtures are great ones to get a view on where this Brighton team are at the moment a win against NOR and we could be up to 8th...

      I hoped Jahanbakhsh could do the trick this season, but things are not going well for him unfortunately. 🙁
