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 is such a waste of space

    FPL logic, how is it a Livermore own goal? It is surely an Ivaovich goal (on target?) and a Lamptey assist no?
    Im not talking officially, but what FPL classifys

    Im wrong? Ivanovich was missing the shot?
    Look at that Jimi goal last week, that was a Jimi goal with a massive defelection because it was on target

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

      Two deflections following the cross

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

      And what wouldve happened if a shot on goal is touched by 2 players, is it then not a goal?

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

      It’s just not an assist. (From an owner).

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

      I know what you’re saying, but that rule only applies an opposing players deliberate attempt on target, and not fellow teammates lol

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

      It went Lamptey, then Ivan, then Livermore, so I guess that eliminates the Lamptey assist

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

        wheres Ivanovics assist then lol?

        1. Zimo

          Own assists yus. Minus ivanovic points!

    As a bit of a veteran on here, I have belatedly realised that the average age of a lot of newer posters is about 12. Years ago, decent posters used to hang out on an old post when matches were on. Does that still happen so we can get away from the children?

      This place is toxic. The amount of micropenises is shocking

    2. Flair

      This place needs a block option.

    3. DAZZ

      Agreed 100%. Can be a toxic place sometimes.

      Any time there's a game on, it gets pretty horrible on here. Used to be fun.

      I think its only a select few that ruins it. They tend to post frequently during games too.

      We all know who they are

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

      That sounds nice! I mostly avoid reading the posts during a match for this reason. Actually opened the tab by mistake and saw this post.

      Fully agree. The incessant childish trolling and nonsense is madness

      Perfectly understand your sentiment, it's annoying but I'm not sure it appears to everyone.

      I've been reading articles and comments here, since my first FPL season in 09/10. I didn't open an account until 3/4 seasons ago.

    News isn't looking good for antonio. If out, best replacement?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

      B

    2. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford might be the one

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years

      What did the news say about Antonio? Any updates?

      I like Adams and Watkins

          Well, that shelves all plans of a -4 to get him in time for Fulham.

          1. waltzingmatildas
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Got on him last week, hoping I might be on before he fired. Now looking for a replacement just as his fixtures get good!

            1. Flair
              • 3 Years

              Unfortunate, leaves me with quite a few dilemmas across my team!

    5. DAZZ

      Paddypower i got it on, £15 on £390 back

  7. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The way people are talking you’d have thought Lamptey had been red carded. He’s still on for a clean sheet? I don’t understand

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Annoying if Lamptey only gets 5 points here

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

      Probably get 1

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

      5pts is better that 1 or none.

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      In this gw i gladly settle for 5 points

    4. Zimo

    How likely is a Bissouma haul at this stage?

    1. Bun Rab

      Un.

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

      Wouldnt surprise me if he scores lol
      Its random as shots tho, you cant predict when or how, but he can score anytime. He shoots a fair bit, normally far out though

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

      With a lamptey assist 😉

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      Lol , I'm looking for the same, anythings possible

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

      Bissouma hat-trick needed to save my gameweek. Will lose my H2H unless Kane scores -4

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

    Prepare yourself for the tinkerman subbing Lamptey before 60"

  15. Birds of Prey
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey didn't get get the asst on the own goal? C'mon, then it should be -1 to the WBA def!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      clear assist, he shoots. someone at the fpl towers one fellow scout doesn't own him so that must be the reason

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

      Agree clear assist not given

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

      Not assist guys do you even watch games y'all Lamptey crossed it ivanovic tried to clear it hit defender
      Lamptey>>>> ivanovic>>>>>> Livermore

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

    I am amazed how people here are getting all anti-Lamptey! He is just a 4.5 defender. What do you expect? A clean sheet and an assist every second match?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      he should be on 11pts, assist, 3Bp and CS. We were robbed

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

        Haha! I seriously wish. That YC was unfair for sure, but that was not an assist. I will be happy with 5 points. Still better than what TAA gave us at 7.5.

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly lol

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

      The masses expect hauls from everyone, and make rage transfers when they don’t get instant returns, which in turn makes the prices so volatile

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

        True. And that has been a huge issue, especially this year. Points chasing and impatience are the biggest factors.

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

      Id take 5 points for a 4.5def.

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

        Absolutely! Still better than what I got from a 7.5 def.

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      4.7 for the record. At this pt I'd like subbed a la Saiss and I'll take the 5. CHEERS

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

        For people who did not buy him GW1. And yes, I would want that too!

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Was Lamptey assist given?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He shoots so that is clear assist for me. Opinion of an owner for the record.

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

      not given unfortunately.

    Come on Maupay. Need a miracle to save my GW!

    1. FPL Daniel

      Gone for me asap. Antonio or Bam Bam

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

        Planning the same tbh but wouldn’t mind a nice farewell !

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay should have scored in first half when goal was ruled out for offside. He was even looking along the line but still didn’t move himself to onside position. Poor striker.

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

        Yep think he’s gone to Bamford or Antonio with an FT but wouldn’t mind a nice goodbye gift

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    if its over 60mins, get Lamptey off. The 5 points is a haul, I'll take it

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

      Attacking returns still very possible in this game, and West Brom aren't posing much threat. Think I'd rather he stays on...

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        You must have more than 20 points
