Pressure on Lamptey and Brighton assets after tough start to Gameweek 6

Fantasy Premier League managers in possession of Brighton assets will be turning to the Amex Stadium this evening in desperate need.

With Gameweek 6 proving particularly cruel for the majority of players worldwide, the Seagulls have the potential to ease the pain of a select few.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.7m) is Brighton’s most popular outfield player, currently sat in 11.4% of teams. Can he reward those managers for their patience?

The right wing-back is without a Fantasy return since Gameweek 3 and is still yet to record a clean sheet of his own this season, although West Bromwich Albion arrive in Sussex having registered the lowest number of big chances across the first five Gameweeks.

Once again, Lamptey is deployed on the flanks of a midfield quartet protecting a back-three. Solly March (£5.0m) is stationed on the other side of that while Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) and Ben White (£4.5m) sit in a deep central pairing.

Supported by Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) and Adam Lallana (£6.3m), Neal Maupay (£6.6m) leads the line once again, hoping to continue his impressive start to the season.

There are clearly still trust issues between the Frenchman and FPL managers, as he is owned only by 6.9% for Gameweek 6, but he is the best Brighton player for points per million spent this season (5.2).

Patrick Bamford (£5.9m), Callum Wilson (£6.5m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Harry Kane (£10.9m) are the only FPL forwards to better Maupay for that figure so far this season and, as we all know, West Brom are not without their defensive issues in 2020/21.

The Baggies’ Fantasy assets remain among the ultra-differential with non-playing goalkeeper David Button (£4.0m) the most-fashionable at 4.7% ownership.

Of regular starters, Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) is the most popular, currently sat in just 2.8% of teams.

There will be eyes on Branislav Ivanovic (£4.5m) tonight though. The former Chelsea defender’s debut coincided with West Brom’s first clean sheet of the campaign at Burnley, while he finished the trip to Turf Moor as his team’s chief threat in the penalty box.

Each team has some attacking presence on their benches, which feature Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) and Callum Robinson (£5.5m) respectively.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Veltman; March, Bissouma, White, Lamptey; Trossard, Lallana; Maupay.

West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone; Townsend, Ajayi, Ivanovic, Furlong; Livermore; Diangana, Krovinovic, Gallagher, M Pereira; Grant.

    Lamptey? I'm mentally preparing myself for a YC and subbed off at half time...

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For sure with Maupay missing a penalty

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think he might play RM in a 4-4-2

  2. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …

    Lamptey Cleanie will gone around 60th mind as always or 90th min like Crystal Palace i am ready for it.

    1. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
      • 13 Years

      mind* minute

  3. Forza Papac

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Twitter admins of football clubs need to come to an agreement and post team line ups starting with the keeper and ending with the striker. Thought Maupay was benched for a second there.

  4. G00LI0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Maupay hattie incoming

  5. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need Lamptey to get more points than Kane

  6. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Digne to who?
    I have Chilwell, Lamptey, Saiss, Mitchel.

    1. dbeck

      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      whose your GK?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Guaita.
        What about Castagne or should I go for cheaper DF like Konsa or Coufal?

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          yep i'd go for one of those, or even zouma for the chels double up

          1. AzzaroMax99
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            CHE double also crossed my mind but with Mendy instead of Guaita. Thx, will go probably with Castagne, he has great attacking prospects for next few games.

  7. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years

    Pressure? haha Lamptey feels no pressure

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why the hell would Lamptey feel any pressure for fpl gw6 😆 . I am sure he gives a flying f.....

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just joking 😀

  8. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Let's go Webster and Trossard! 6 players in theses games tonight

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      webster pick is great

  9. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Johnstone pen save, surely its tonight

  10. ZAWAd25
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Feel like my defense is weak but don’t see an obvious choice defender for next week. Should I just save a FT? 0.5 itb

    McCarthy
    TAA Saiss Justin Mitchell
    Salah Son Sterling
    Kane DCL Watkins

    (Taylor Bissouma Reed)

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

      Save and then do Taylor > Coufal.

      1. ZAWAd25
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Good shout. Will be getting Antonio. Will you still double up on West Ham?

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

          I don't count that as doubling up. Defense and attack are separate.

          If you got Soucek or Bowen as well that would be doubling up.

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane EO is 82% in my rank tier. That means I get a green arrow for owning but not captaining if he gets points yeah?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Theoretically yes

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1. Seanigula
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        all the players with similar rank to him, broken into groups like rank 100k-200k on some site he’s using

  12. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard is due a goal...

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My whole team is due a goal - doesn’t mean it’ll happen

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This.

  13. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If Maupay doesn't get a hattrick tonight I'm selling.

    1. sovietrockettes
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      me too!!!! Maupay>Kane locked in

  14. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey is due, double figure haul guaranteed

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone know why Lampty seems to be subbed sometimes before 60 mins ??

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Made of papier mache

  15. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How many will Pereira score tonight?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      None please

  16. FPL_Motty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Both times injury related

  17. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey 20 pointer is not too much to ask right?

  18. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    17p with 4 to go, I just give up this GW already so dont stress on this BHA game )

  19. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Danny Welbeck on the bench tonight.......his Dad was in the Bomb disposal team, his mane was Stan.............Bless him

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

        https://youtu.be/LfduUFF_i1A

        Probably on the bench for Greece.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I like that

    3. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is that advice or word of caution?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It prompts introspection, to help reduce suffering.

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      If you erradicate fear you dont need to hope

      1. Piggs Boson

        How do you eradicate fear?

  21. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking to next week, would you start Brewster (Home MCI) or Soucek (Away LIV)?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        West Ham will win that game, unfortunately (Liverpool fan here)

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Damn right we will.....0-3 Antonio hatty.....TAA red card

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            If Antonio is confirmed fit, I am bringing him in ahead of the Pool game. Can easily see him getting a couple

            1. Hy liverpool
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Bowen and fornals are going to score too.. Easy 5-0

              1. Stormbringer22
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Wouldn't go that far but Bowen would be a pain. There will be goals in this game on both ends

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Whole world waiting on Lamptey to do something amazing.Me included.

  23. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't realise Ivanovic is 36!

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah amazing ... I thought he would be at least 38...

  24. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ok taken Salah, Mane, Kane, Son out of the equation.

    WHO ARE THE BEST 3 PLAYERS FROM GW 7 - 10?

    GO.....

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A Chelsea attacker or Antonio would be my guess

  25. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What's your views on Masuaku and Coufal? I haven't had a chance to watch West Ham play, but are they being deployed as wing backs?

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

      Yes and both are very good options.

      Masuaku slightly more goal threat. Coufal with more assist potential.

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. I may bring one of them in for Saiss in a few weeks.

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku playing the best I have seen him, however he is a worry with a red card......Coufal has been different gravy but I think its to early to make that move. I would wait till after the LFC game to see how they get on.

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. I am wondering whether WHU may move to a back 4 with cresswell LB when Benrahama is fit.

  26. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With a transfer needing to be used, which option:

    A) Rodriguez -> Pulisic
    B) Saiss -> Cancelo (if Saiss looks like being dropped, Cancelo just a punt I'd be willing to take)
    C) Maupay -> Antonio

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C depending on injury news on Antonio

  27. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Podence & Jimenez -> Rodriguez & Antonio for free?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I don't see the value in buying Rodriguez unless you've got a good rank already

    3. jimski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Next week, not this.

  28. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Attack wise, which one do your prefer from now on? Antonio presumed fit:

    A. 3-5-2
    Salah - Son - Puli - James - Grealish
    Kane - DCL

    B. 3-4-3
    Salah - Son - Puli - James
    Kane - DCL - Antonio

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

      Why didn't you just do Antonio vs Grealish?

      I prefer Grealish to James. I don't trust James to stay fit. His average position is also literally at the half way line.

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Brewster to Antonio this week, followed by James to Jack potentially.

        And yes, you are right, I should have phrased it as Antonio v Grealish

    2. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B, but it depends how the extra mil is being spent

  29. Cojiro
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chances on my 2.8% Pereira Pick outscoring Son and Kane this week...? Squeeky bum time

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He may score, but I still think Son + Kane score more

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      99.9% - you know which way already 😉 GL!

  30. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do we see Mitchell getting benched soon or to flexible to be dropped?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soon
