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.

      Not really it wouldn't have gone in if he hadn't kicked it against him. Hardly bad luck

    2. Piggs Boson

      An incorrectly given penalty robbed him of a CS last week. Very nearly an assist then too.

      Fine margins.

  15. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No Lamptey assist, Lamptey gets yellow. Double Wolves cleanie wiped to a garbage Newcastle last minute. Salah captain fail. Sterling blank. Hamez and DCL blank, DCL yellow.

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

      This season is cruel.

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

      Because he got booked and it wasn’t an assist

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

    The animosity on here to Lamptey owners is just sad and juvenile.If you're that worried about him why not just get him.

  18. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What’s crazy is I feel almost my entire team has had good chances to score well and just bad luck.

    Just all failed at once.

    Just one of those weeks!

  19. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow I can’t believe my luck this season. Perfect Lamptey assist denied! I can’t wate Kane to score 3. This game f*cks me so bad!!!

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

      Babe to score nothing, and wasn’t a perfect lamp assist

  20. Saka_me_sideways
    • 3 Years

  21. Joey Tribbiani

  22. Squires FC
    • 10 Years

    'Yes, lamptey assist'.... 'oh'....'yellow'
    Desperate times

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

    Yellow card magnet Lamptey

  24. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey is on -3 bps so no chance of a bonus.

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

      Even with his inevitable brace?

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

        I think he is more likely to get a red to be honest.

        (Lamptey owner)

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

          Fine, red card after the brace it is

  25. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey assist will be reverted by FPL towers dont worry

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

      I dont see it, I wish so but no chance.

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

      no chance

  26. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Get a red Lamptey.

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

    I own Lamptey. I have a score of 10 this week. It’s at the stage where I’m just laughing through the pain now.

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

      Well it's only a little below average

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

    We really do torture ourselves playing this game

  29. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    So Lamptey gets a YC and No Assist. The GW that keeps on giving

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

    Can’t believe I want a Kane blank as an owner and non captainer..

    But it is what it is!

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

      Too early for that in the season, just hope he scores points regardless
