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.

      Water is wet

    3. Huddersfield
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

  2. Esalman
    • 14 Years

    How is my Lamptey looking?

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

      As always, promising but he will never deliver

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lively. 0 BAPs, but that's because he's trying stuff.

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

      Not dribbling enough for my liking - that's when he's most dangerous.

      Been a bit too safe on the ball.

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

        Thanks guys

  5. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It is actually almost like open net for that Maupay miss.. unbelievable

  6. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lalana had the better chance
    When did he get shy in front of goal

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

    Imagine if Brighton signed Watkins or Toney

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

      Would be essential.

      The amount of good chances Maupay wastes is disgusting.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        yes.. it is beyound unbelievable

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

        Mind you, the xG Δ says there a lot worse. Richarlison topping the list.

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A parting gift would be nice from Maupay but more likely he will highlight why he’s a goner.

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

      And then he'll score next week and it'll be annoying 😛

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Goes without saying 😆

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

          😆

  9. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    LOL Maupay should have scored there again

    Vardy score a lot of goals in similar style

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      shouldve got a shot off at least. please dont compare Maupay to the reigning golden boot winner lol

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

      LOL comparing the two, one is a machine the other plays for Brighton?

  10. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This guy can't score

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Today Lamptey is playing very defensive.. unusual

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      diangana pace is scary

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I mean, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. He's had the ball up the pitch on a number of occasions too.

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah(C), Grealish both should’ve hauled and looks like Maupay will join them. Went Semedo over Saiss too. From 90 pts last week to 20 this week. Absolute s**t show

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

      That’s FPL for you.

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd take that. 64 last week, 21 so far this week...

  13. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

  14. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is this the first time you’ve watched him?

    2. Hazz
