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.

      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brewster/Bamford

    FPL Rockstar implying that Reguilon's benched? https://twitter.com/FPL_Rockstar/status/1320799624974815234

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

        Jose doesn't play that much, let's see

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

    So Reguilon over lamptey was a massive fail...

  5. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha or Grealish?

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

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

    Lamptey owners are we satisfied with 1pt haul? How this game and GW is progressing it could get ugly. 1 is much.

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

      Of course. Hope Maupay is taken off soon as he is already having a 2point haul. Total 20pts if Lamptey keep his 1pt and Maupay 2pts.

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

    Remove (For Chilwell)
    A) Justin
    B) Walker Peters
    C) Ayling

    Buy (for sterling)
    A) Zaha
    B) Grealish

    Thinking AB!?

    Add in Watkins - Kane for a -4 and need to move later as prices rise tonight

            Yeah. I just mean squad depth is huge. Rose and gedson too.

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

      Spurs fullbacks off limits then.

    7. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reguilon benching makes sense. Mostly playing 2nd string for europa but wants the stronger attacking fullback in Reguilon for it whilst we have an easy run of PL games

    8. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sold Doherty for Reguilon. Might cry

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

        Dont mind Reguilon benching IF he stays there as have Ayling first sub.

        12 min cameo with YC locked in then

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah same, got Justin to come on if he doesn’t play. Can’t see Reguilon not making a cameo tho 🙁

      Wonder what this means for Davies in the league this weekend.

  20. Flair
    • 3 Years

    Reguilon benched!

  21. ivantys
    • 3 Years

    Bale switched bench from Madrid to London?

  22. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I hope Ben Davies has an absolute shocker tonight.

  23. g40steve

    Swerved Reguilon benching!

  24. djoker_nole

    Mourinho is the biggest troll ever after Zaha of course

  25. ivantys

    So Reguilon not nailed lol rofl

  26. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Keep Bale for the next two fixtures or just get rid?

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

      Sell and learn from your mistakes.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It was a wildcard punt, hardly a mistake

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

      He will score whenever you get rid. Checkmate

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I guarantee this as well

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

      See what he does each game, 10 mins of Bale? Could be a deadly sub

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's exciting to own when he comes on, unfortunate last week

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

      See how he looks tonight and in the Europa.

      Might put in a couple of promising cameos and look to start against Brighton.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's the thought on my end. No rush either way, see what happens at the end of 90 minutes today and by the end of the week

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

    One Maupay goal is so huge this week.

    Please fantasy football gods.

  28. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I'm not watching the match, why is Lamptey getting it in the neck by everyone?

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

      Because some people don’t get that 4.5 defender doesn’t get 15 pts every week. Oh and the idiot non ownerS aiding them up.

    If you can't score against a Dunk-less Brighton then you aren't going to do well in this league.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      West Brom are championship level only.
