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.

    I'm actually really glad that after 8 years, this is the least seriously I've ever taken this game. Two of my worst ever GW scores have happened within the opening weeks of this season but I've learned to laugh it off, goodbye Ryan CS.

    In my own minileague, my one mate who generally always ghosts after GW3 is currently top which says it all. Weird season.

      This season means nothing tbh

    2. Del Griffith

      I'm guessing thats the same picture around most mini leagues. Certainly is in mine, I'm happy for them to finally have there time in the sun.

    what did lampely do to piss off the fantasy gods? i shouldn't complain, i also have saiss.

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

      its true, 3x what Lamptey got

  8. Right In The Stanchion

    This Brighton result couldn’t be better.

  9. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Why is Hamez still flagged?

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

      it means look, he is good

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

    A one nil win for Burnley and the final nail will be in the coffin.

    #wtf

  12. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    2 bonus from 17bps for Burn must be a season record?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      ha ha - surely you are right. That's probably a record for any season, but maybe someone knows better.

  13. bryant
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Started Doherty Antonio and Rodriguez who were all injury/rotation doubts so I actually expected JWP to come off my bench but noo. Started him 3 of the last 5 weeks too

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

    Think we all need to pretend this gw never happened and move on.

  15. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    22 with Kane and son to go. Oh dear.

  16. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    You know when it's a poor week when you are even grateful for Trossard's clean sheet point...

    Martínez
    Taa robbo Lamptey
    Barkley Grealish salah(c) zaha son
    Maupay Kane

    Dallas first sub

    Expected to get way more than 8 blanks from, 6 scout squad players blanking, this is just unbelievable man, what kind of results are these against promoted teams and teams out of form, never seen a season like this that spoils your night every night 🙁

  18. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Considering I got -1 from Everton yesterday, a 1 pointer from Lamptey is a haul.

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

      Progress

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

        Riches indeed.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      But you did get about 200 from Bamford on Friday .....?

  19. Pukki Party

    3 years, 5 months ago

    How did Trossard look tonight for those who watched the game?

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

      not bad

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A better bench option than Bissouma.

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

      Looked busy and used the ball well first half. Anonymous second half.

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

        Cheers

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can’t even enjoy Son and Kane scoring as a non-capper thanks to their EO. Soon this nightmare of a GW is over thankfully!

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

      This ! I just hope that Son scores the only winner as Kane is highly captained

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

        Voodoo

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

      Same, but I’m enjoying it if they do. F*** EOs

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

      Was going to say a nice 0-0 would be lovely but not Regulion not starting that doesn't help me one bit . . .1 pt Lamptey off the bench. Sigh.

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

        You'll probably get a 1 point Regulion instead

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          More than likely.

    4. Steinburg FC
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      why? both under 100%

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

        Kane is over 100% not only in top 10k, but top 250k... Anyone serious who didn't cap him should hope he does nothing

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

      Yeah imagine owning them and hoping they blank.

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

      If you're below 500k or so, both EOs are below 100% and you need their points. Check your team EOs for managers around you on livefpl.

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

      Correct if you benched them

  21. aborg
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not even 3 saves from Ryan !!

    1. Super-Anders
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sick of him. Not a save point so far this season.

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

        Ramsdale owner here. 🙁

        Feeling you, guys.

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

    I’m coming to the rescue guys X

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

      Show me why I brought you in for Werner

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

        I will

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

    Brighton surely getting relegated. Kane double digits next week secured.

  24. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    and this gameweek started out so well with hatrick Patrick. I must have celebrated too hard.

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

      Bamford almost totalling my entire points so far this GW

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bamford got 17, I'm on 31. A blank for Spurs and a yellow will make that happen.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That's a decent score.

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

      Happens to me every time I start the game week so well !

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford the only player to haul this week

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

    No Spurs in this game. Biggest red arrow ever incoming.

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

      Damn

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

      Did you sit down and talk to your parents about quitting? Hope they installed some belief in you.

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

    This game will be miserable

  27. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo, Chilwell, Saiss (Dallas, Mitchell)
    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish (Soucek)
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    0.5m ITB, 2 free transfers

    A) Maupay > Antonio
    B) Maupay > Bamford
    C) Maupay + Soucek > Brewster + Zaha
    D) Other ideas

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

      C looks decent

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

    None of the first 10 delivered any returns
    Sons EO make him irrelevant but all the C on Kane could make a 1 mil OR drop several million OR drop -happy days.
    I thought trying to get back from 1mil OR at Christmas last year was hard this year will be more challenging.

  29. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Saiss is the star of my team this week and Reece James is laughing from the bench

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

    Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed

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

      What if you get less than nothing - less than 2 points per player 🙂
