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.

      Kun & Cantwell to Sterling(C) & Connolly(playing Norwich at home) for -8?

      1. aleksios
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeap.

      2. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        -8?! No way

      3. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        If it was -4 I’d say yes

      4. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I would only do this if we somehow knew Kun wouldn’t play vs SOU. But the likelihood is we won’t do a -8 to take him out is (prob) madness

      5. Dosh
        • 10 Years

        Your name has the answer.

      for those saying set and forget keeper. i dont like this policy unless it is ederson or allison. i have pope & krul (till last week adrian) & guess whatm i started krul. a massive unexpected 16 points in an otherwise terrible season.
      no leicester attacking players. captained kun who blocked kdb vc and soyuncu bench points

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years

        clearly you are a genius

        One of your two average keepers freaked a decent score and you're putting this grim weekly coin toss forward as some kind of template? Cheers.

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

          it was not a coin toss. i thought chelsea scoring away to burnley is higher than manu away to norwich. the 2 penalty saves are luck.

    9. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If Kun gets significant mins in the cup match, how do these moves look?

      Kun, Cantwell, Maddison -> Greenwood, Sterling, Martial (-4)

      0.1 off Connolly - doesn’t really matter though since I won’t play him, has poor fixtures and have Rico/Lund as subs

      1. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn’t fancy losing Maddison atm

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

        u know greenwood is just deadwood. so basically u r getting 2 players for 3. what if sterling is rested next week? he was rested in the easy match vs watford. shampton seem even easier

      • 5 Years

      Brought in Maupay and Martial last week so very pleased with that (just wish Martial had scored that pen...) but still ending up with a red arrow due to the lack of Leicester assets really hurts. Auba is killing my team.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Two excellent differentials there. I’m eyeing Martial to replace Maddison if he fails to do significant things points wise.

        Aguero killing mine!

    14. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Down to 1.8m after another meh week and captain fail.

      2FT at least. Wilson has to go, and Kun after SOU (or before it plays 90 midweek?) 0.2 ITB. Jimenez straight swap for Wilson, Vardy in next week for Kun?

              • 13 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Very sensible i think, I'd definitely keep Aguero for the extra week then get rid and Jimenez seems the best Wilson replacement

              I would definitely go back to Top Lad Dakes, not hide the fact that you're a Top Lad in the profile 🙂

        2. Tempestic

          Yeh good moves. Probably got to hold Kun one more week.

          Hmmm potentially. No money itb for Rash?

          Look long term

          Vardy in for kun yes

          Salah Or robbo for the pool fixture run ? I’d say salah - how can you afford that?

        5. how now brown cow

          Looks solid enough. Team looks generally ok. Tide will turn for you....

          Kun ht incoming

          I’d consider rash

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe, but not sure if he’s worth 1m more than Jimenez?

            Martial tempts me much more. Only united player who does rly bc very underpriced

        7. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Pretty much identical teams so I feel your pain. I fell 650k to 1.2m this week.

          I uncharacteristically made early moves last night and did Wilson, Maddison > Vardy, Barnes with my 2FT. Regret it quite a lot but it is what it is!

          Planning to hold and maybe even cap Kun for a last hoorah unless we hear something definitive re him not playing vs SOU

          Jimmy could be a good shout

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers lad. Was considering a similar Maddison Wilson to Vardy 6.2mid but tempted by just rolling a FT and going for Jimenez just now - CRY away has been a tough fixture this season, Leicester could be stifled.

            Those moves could well come good though. GL

            1. Don Kloppeone
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Cheers dude. Yeh I don’t expect Vardy to haul vs CRY but is a longer term pick.

              I think rolling an FT is def the sensible move and Jimmy is looking back to decent form with the obv EL disclaimer

              Hopefully Green arrows in our future! We have tasted much better times in the past, hopefully this is a blip!

        Auba is killing my team cant lie. Since bringing him in in gw 6 I've tripled my rank.
        Happy to monitor CHO at least another week.

          In a similar boat, no easy answers, need impact players and Aubameyang plays too wide, I’m thinking rashford or wc

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            rash same issue no?

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            considered Rash too but it is a bit of a sideways move?
            Kane I guess no better?

              Son is the only spurs asset I’d buy

        How are Tierney owners feeling?

      9. joelsprylar

        Mount and Abraham to Martial an Jimenez for a -4?

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Chelsea just scored 4 at burnley and have good fixtures. Why take a hit to sell their 2 main attacking assets?

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

            I lost a little faith in Abraham and he never plays 90 minutes as Jimenez. Martial is better than Mount because he play as a striker.

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          what

        3. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          No, it doesn't look like a worthwhile move.

        Differential wildcard to shoot myself up the ranks? Picking (relatively) nailed players all seriously out of form. Noone will be buying these players, so get ahead of the curve:

        Leno, Gunn
        Alderweireld, Coleman, Sokratis, Vestegaard, Otamendi
        Pepe, Eriksen, Almiron, Redmond, Sigurdsson
        Barnes, Jota, Pukki

        1. Tsparkes10

          • 13 Years

          There's a reason they aren't being picked.....also you didn't even pick Martial...fail!

          • 11 Years

          You know how the dream team this season has typically been a load of players noone would ever consider? Here is next week's

        27 points!
        No Leicester
        Aguero Captain
        Mahrez no show
        Lascelles benched
        Ceballos stinking up my team
        65k to 427k!!!

        Close to a rage quit!

          Ahah I got 25pts one GW last season or one before.

          Brutal rank drop there mate. Still not bad and easy to make up, plus much better position than me!

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

          i had mine last week when i amassed 32. this week krul saves me- got double ur score.

          dont quit. i sold kun for vardy. kun benched too often this season especially recently.

        5. Brosstan

          Lascelles benched? He scored mate

          It’s all the LC owners jumping up, it will even out, shows how much you can move in one gw

        7. g40steve
          • 6 Years

          Hold faith, we all have shocking weeks, but it’s how you come back that counts.

        8. Maddocio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I feel your and share pain with Ceballos, a starter for the Spanish national team at that price should be great but he ain't tbh I think I'm steering clear of Arsenal while Emery is manager.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He’s their best acm by a mile but emery want him to be a holding mf, such a moron

      13. J to the T
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Considering the wild card - thoughts? Have 2FTs and current squad is

        Pope Button
        VVD* Otamendi* Soyuncu Lundstram Dunk
        Salah* Sterling* James* Mount Cantwell*
        Aguero* Abraham wickham*

        Wildcard squad -

        Pope Button
        TAA maguire Soyuncu Lundstram Dunk
        Mane KdB Martial Mount Dendoncker
        Vardy Abraham Callum Wilson

        Is that worth a wildcard? Or use the FTs for Otamendi and VVD -> Tomori and TAA?

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

          why callum wilson? the dude cant score against the worst 2 defenses norwich & watford

          1. J to the T
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Could be Jiminez

      14. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Boly Dendonker Wilson >
        Janmaat Martial Ayew (-4) ?

      15. FPLAdmiral
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What are Auba owners doing? Brought him in GW8 and he's blanked all 3 GW.

        Really tempted by Cantwell + Auba > James + Firmimo (-4). 0m ITB, thoughts chaps?

        Pope
        TAA, Soy, Lundstram
        Sterling (c), KDB (vc), Mount, Maddison
        Auba*, Vardy, Abraham

        (Button)(*Cantwell, Otamendi, Kelly)

        1. ppv
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Those moves will give you serious benching headache. James is an expensive no.12

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          His captaincy output has been so bad (assuming no one, or at least no one in their right minds, captained him for GW4, 5 & 7 given Salah, Sterling, Mané & Kun’s fixtures those weeks)

          BUR 6
          AVL 5
          BOU 2
          CPL 2

          It’s an almost impressive level of consistency, albeit in the wrong direction

          Very difficult sell too as he has the fixtures to haul - owners going through the pain barrier with him for sure

        3. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Suffering with you...Auba has been a nightmare since I got him in...mind you so were Haller and Barnes.
          I'm giving him a couple more chances.

      16. g40steve

        Anyone keeping Wilson or time to go?

        1. Regin

          let go.

        4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Bournemouth zero goals in 270 minutes - I just can’t stand by him at that price

          Switching him & Cantwell to Connolly & (Martial/Perez/ Tielemans/someone else up to 8.2)

          Im not a stats junkie by any means, but loading up him & Connolly in the comparison tool over the last 3 weeks is hilarious - Connolly holds his own against him in almost everything

          So Callum will likely hattrick next week 🙂

        5. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        6. Brosstan
