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.

    Why do we play this game friends.
    Celebrating a Lamptey assist, then realise its not. then he gets booked
    lol.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For the pain, it’s because we love pain, because sure as hell it aint fun

    3. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Key is don’t celebrate things that didn’t happen

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

      That's why we play the game.
      So much fun when you don't own Lamptey

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

      I have scored 10 points this week. I own Lamptey. Just Kane and Son to play (captained Salah). I might just quit tbh.

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

      I wonder the same. Why is it so addictinggg!

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kinda better not to watch live games, at least then VAR doesnt screw you over or assist/goal allocations.

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

      This is why we play the game. Highs and lows.

      1. 272MK
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        nah. I'd prefer Highs and higher.

    9. DandyDon
      • 5 Years

      Oh dear

  4. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey - Most overrated pick this season.

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

      He was 4.5, you’ve spent more on a lot worse

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

        Keeps going up in price without even hauling

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

          Because he’s cheap and starts and offers offensive potential...I’ll be quite happy if he just gets the CS

  5. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Own Kane and Son, i want them to do eff all

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

  6. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would be golden

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Amen

    3. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Only got Son after Mane C came through for me so hoping for no Kane goal at least

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What, expensive defenders don’t get booked.

    2. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years

    3. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I paid for Digne

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

    He could still get 5 points? Every cloud...

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Could still get 20 points

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

      He'll get a 1 pointer, I promise you.

    The trolls are getting hungry.

    1. Nightcrawler

      Matchdays are the worst

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

  12. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No you would regret it though.

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

    Adams to maupay two weeks ago is causing so much pain!

  14. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It’s a good job FPL isn’t a bookies. We would all be selling our houses to pay the debt.

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Casuals in my money leagues seem to be doing very well. Between 50 and 70 pointers. It's us that's doing it wrong

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Overthinking is killing us.

  15. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Veltman good option?

  16. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maupay is championship level..could have had a brace..

  17. Squires FC
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Its painful owning maupay isnt it!?

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

      And irritating..how many chances..

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Try owning Watkins

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mitrovic owners say Hi.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          These budget strikers *sigh*

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

      Yep

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

      Yep. Considering shipping him for Bamford or Antonio with one of my FT

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

    People need to calm down, Lamptey as a 4th defender at 4.5m is great value............

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He is noy 4.5 anymore and if were going by original prices there are many better than him.

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    At this point. All we can do is pray.

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

      Or transfer out Lamptey

  20. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey to be hooked at HT to punish casuals

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hope so

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      But if you have Dunk /any Brighton defence against the worst attack of the league you are not casual ?:D
      desperate managers are everywhere lol

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

      So don’t bring him in when you WC this week, which you badly need to do

  21. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    All these people wanting Lamptey to do something and here's me with Pereira....

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

      I hope he scores. Want that clean sheet wiped

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Poor you. I sold him last week for Zaha. 😀

  22. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  23. djoker_nole
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can see a lot of people want Kane and Son to blank later. We all know how that is gonna turn out..

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Let’s hope so.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Double hattricks?

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

        Just can't see Kane blanking. Sonny off pens may do

  24. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I bought Lamptey for his assist points. 4pts at the end is still good enough for me

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I was so looking forward to tonight knowing I have Lamptey, Trossard, Son and (K)ane left.
    But yea im gonna get 9 points or something arent I

  26. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    As a Lamptey owner I am disappointed. But then the disappoinment is not just from him getting a YC and not being awarded the assist. He is just 4.5. The disappoinment is more due to the fact that all of us are having a dismal GW and had hoped Lamptey will save us. He at 4.5 is still a good pick!

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

      Isn't he 4.8 now

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

        Semantic

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

          I dunno. I prefer creswell with only 0.2 more

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wasn't when I bought him!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It’s just one game. Long old season. He will be great value by the end.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

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

      Why are you dissapointed everyone is having a dissapointing gw ?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I am only disappointed that he got a YC and no assist. I am not disappointed that I picked him like most of the people here are making it out to be.

  27. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Folks, how has Pulisic been playing last couple of games?

    Haven’t seen Chelsea lately, but considering him as my Barnes replacement

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

      He's been awful

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He hasn’t done much to be honest. Fixtures are the only thing looking good. Own him and don’t feel optimistic.

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

      Saw one or two promising moments against United.

      I think he'll be back to full fitness soon. Ziyech not far from a start too, maybe against Burnley...

    4. Three-Five-Two
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm considering bringing him in on my WC. Not sure he will be as productive as he was last season purely because Chelsea now have more attacking options and the points will likely be spread about. Last season everything went through him or Willian - well post lockdown anyway.

  29. Magic Zico

    • 5 Years

    What is expected from a 4.5-ish defender from non ‘top 6’ team? What’s going on people? 😉

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It is not the owners that are the problem here.

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

        Realised that, yeah blimey
