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.

    Happy to keep that 1 point, well done Lamptey! It is a solid contribution to my GW score of 21, not that negligible, seriously.

    Next in FPL today:
    - Son withdrawal at the HT (injury)
    - (K)ane penalty miss and YC
    in a 1-0 Burnley win

  14. Big boy Bowen

      As at yesterday too

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

      Man U and Chelsea clean sheets? No idea!

    4. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ings, Bamford and Vardy

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Jimenez as well

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford.. high EO.

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

        Grrr

  15. Front 442
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Great result for non Brighton owners

  16. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What to do here you guys? 2 FT 0.4 ITB

    Martinez
    TAA Chilwell Saiss
    Salah Son Pulisic Grealish
    Kane DCL Maupay
    _____
    Forster Lamptey Stephens 3.9

    A) Maupay (TOT) -> Watkins/Bamford/Mitrovic (one week punt before getting Antonio)
    B) Maupay + Grealish -> Bamford + Hamez (if Hamez is deemedfit)
    C) Stephens to Bissouma / Soucek (thought Stephens was a nailed on cheap alternative to Bissouma / Soucek)
    D) Something else

    Leaning towards A with Bamford or Mitro. Bamford could be a long term pick, but Mitrovic has the better fixture

    1. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Interesting!
      Very similar to my starting XI but I guess you had a bigger TV when wild carding.
      Im in the same dilemma .
      I have Robbo instead of TAA and Watkins instead of Maupay.
      Dallas instead of Lamptey.

      With A at least you're getting some change an its hardly a punt getting Bamford, it's actually a good move. Antonio's fitness is a slight doubt after listening to Moyes so I think Antonio isn't a given in GW 8 just yet if the Bamford and DCL return again.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah prolly doing Maupay to Bamford. Should have done it before the pricechanges I guess, as I have another spare FT in case injuries occure during midweek

    2. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Or Lamptey for Balbuena, Coufall or Cresswell?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That sounds like a GW 8 move

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

    Lamptey's still not the finished article yet, needs to work on his delivery. Pass the ball on the floor more, hold up play, cut inside and shoot. 2/3 years off that
    We have unrelastic expectations for now, plus players like Maupay are whack

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

      Unlucky not it get an assist. Unlucky to be subbed pre 60 mins a few GWs back.

      Plenty of promise, luck just coming at the wrong time.

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

        well Potter is bad, its logical tbh you would sub Lamptey at that point, not Trossard.
        Odd sub imo

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

          Wasn't he subbed because of an injury concern?

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

    I will be destroyed in my mini leagues if Kane scores

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

      When, not if (as I don't have him)

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

    Should i keep Maupay for Spurs or switch to Antonio now? Was plan to switch in GW8 but still think Antonio has more chance of scoring against Liverpool than Maupay against Spurs

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Look in my post above..

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

    Are they serious!?! Matt Ryan is man of the Match !! What the F***....he did not even get me 3 saves

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

      I didn't even see him on the pitch first half. Then fell asleep . . and it's the middle of my day in CA.

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

        Lol 🙂

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

    Knowing this game, next GW Lamptey will get a CS, assist and 3bps vs. Spurs while on everyone's bench

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

    Saiss is my only player so far that produced some kind of return, and JUST because he was subbed before they conceded a goal !

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same here

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same haha!

    No red för Barnes? Laughable

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

    Would Davies go to CB and Reg come on if Toby or Dier had to go off? Seriously clutching at straws here!

    1. how now brown cow

      Rodin on bench.

    When you see the joke decisions that see players sent off for "dangerous play" getting away scot free here is odd.

    Barnes goal disallowed for offside
