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.

    Reguilon dropped

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

      Rotated. Makes sense - mostly playing 2nd string for europa so wants some strong attacking threat for it and can rest him for the easier PL games.

    I better enjoy the 5 points while it last

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Same. Another disappointment in the making.

  3. g40steve

    Hold

  4. Mike2795647

    Really need Son to have a belter tonight to save my game week. He’s my captain so usually that means fail

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

    Pereira hits post

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

      FFS how can this be happening again!!!! He could have scored a couple tonight easily

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Why do 5 points look so much less appealing than 6

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

      Cos it's 3 points less than Ryan, Webster and 4 points less than Burn

  7. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Potter, it's best that you take Lamptey off now

  8. Make United Great Again

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

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

        • 6 Years

    Surely no active teams own Spurs fullbacks

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Andy says hi

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

      Reguilon will start most weeks, Doherty I wouldnt go there

  16. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I own Kane and Son but didn't captain either. Due to their high ownership, do I want them to score or blank?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane blank. Son points.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You always want points

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

    Lamptey owners should be mindful of those Livermore owners and be grateful.

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

    Trossard is useless. Signed him in FanTeam and he's been a real disappointment.

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

      Yes he’s been a real disappointment the last 3 GWS. All those woodwork shots...

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

      Getting rid tonight, absolute waster

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      When was the last time they did?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not this Season. Had Dier since GW1 and haven't had a chance to get rid. Perfect time for a 12pter.

  20. Hybrid.power

    Dropped Reece James for Reguilon this week. Another week when I should have just not logged in.

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

    Lamptey on lower BPS than a WBA defender despite having a CS lol

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

      Yellow will do that.

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

        Must be doing a lot worse to be on 13 with CS lol

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

      And his cross lead to that only goal. He was -5 bps after first half or after 40min play.

  22. Niho992
    • 5 Years

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

    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    EX says we should know tomorrow about Antonio, but if you have him already he's an obvious keep... Haller more than ready to step up.

  25. Salah’s Sonnet

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

        Well all i can say is best of luck buddy. If he can’t do anything last few games and of all teams west brom, then it’s so long for me, he’s just not doing it

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

      Same can be said to Maupay GTFO and Walk away 😀

  29. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Play Doherty for 90 minutes on Thursday to convince me to bench him then start him on Monday. Well played Mourinho.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's so selfish not taking you into consideration.

      Aurier not on bench could mean injury, who knows.
