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.

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

    Brighton deserved it for their negative play style in the second half

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

      Absolutely, hope they lose

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

    I think a Lamptey winner would actually create a FFS war!

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

    I’m currently on 18 points with Son & Kane to go.

    All of my players started and played 90 minutes.

    It’s almost impossible to score this low.

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same. But I am on 16.

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

      Evidently it is Not impossible.

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

        Hence I said ‘almost’

        Reading is hard

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

      19pts and Kane & Son left.

      If Scatman can do it so can you.

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

      23 here. Jammy Saiss points the only return.

  9. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Going Ryan over Martinez on WC weeks ago has gone brilliantly

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

      The Pope punisshment will begin soon

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

      Replaced McCarthy with Martinez on wc this week....that went well also

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        McCarthy was the one I replaced with Ryan too. Also a fail

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best pick to replace Trossard up to 6.0?
    a)Podence
    b)Harrison
    c)Saint M

    1. The Road to Turfdom
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      None brilliant tbh, I have Podence and am keen to offload

    2. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same boat. So poor thinking of keeping

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

      Klich if you're going leeds attack no? He shares pen duties with Bamford.

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

        cheers.I prefer Harrison.

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

      Maybe Lookman. He’s been looking really dangerous in the last 2 games.

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

        cheers.I can't own a Fulham player.No offence.

    5. wulfrunian

      cheers

  11. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I haven't watched the game but Lamptey didn't deserve anything from this

  12. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need a lamptey goal !

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

      No hope. I own him.

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

    This gw I as excruciatingly painful as it gets.

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

    Brighton are going down

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

    22(-4) with two to play is possibly the worst position I've ever been in in a full week of fixtures. I think I got more captioning Tim Cahill when he was my only player in a snow-hit week years ago.

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was that Everton v Arsenal?

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

        Can't remember. It was in the days where vice captains were auto selected on form or price. He was my only playing player so he became my captain.

  16. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If you had Martinez risk another Villa defender or go Ham or Leeds?

    Need a Lamptey replacement upto 5.5?

    Incoming Burnley 1-0 smash and grab special to cap off a really miserable gameweek.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Barnes goal

  18. AzzaroMax99

    Lamptey to Coufal. Locked!

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

    Maupay is a fraud, only scores penalties or goals off keeper errors.

    1. G00LI0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Starting to think the same. He runs a lot but lacks pace and is a poor finisher. Very frustrating to own. Have him and Wilson. One is going

  20. OPTA FPL

      Bissouma doing the business, moving me up 13k in rank.

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

      Reguilon is going to come on for a 1 point cameo, isn't he?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That's a haul by this week's standards

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

          given I have Ayling first sub to replace him - cameo locked in

      2. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The only plus is that so many people are also having a terrible gw

      3. Simon69

        Welcome to the bin, Mr Maupay.

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

          Perreira may soon be joining him.

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

        Imagine getting outplayed by WBA...

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

          Just tried to sit passively on a 1-0 lead. Got what they deserved.

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

        Hat-trick from Kane (c) to save everyone's GW?!

        1. Kellz86
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane (c) is massive this match week given the rest of the results - let’s hope!

      6. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Trossard 3 points is a nice positive this gameweek

      7. Rains of Castamere

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          No player should get a bonus point for BPS lower than 20.

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