Lamptey shrugs off injury to start as Maupay and Ryan return for Brighton

Graham Potter continues to perplex Fantasy Premier League managers with yet another interesting Brighton line-up.

The good news for 11.6% of the Fantasy community is that Tariq Lamptey (£4.7m) has shrugged off the muscle injury that he sustained in the defeat to Spurs.

And anyone who kept the faith in Neal Maupay (£6.5m) or Mat Ryan (£4.5m) was rewarded as the pair slot back into their usual positions up-front and in goal.

However, it was Leandro Trossard‘s (£6.0m) to go on a mysterious disappearing exercise for Gameweek 8, the Belgian left out of the matchday squad entirely.

Also absent is Robert Sánchez (£4.5m), despite being picked ahead of Luke Steele (£4.0m) in Gameweek 7.

There is a full Brighton debut for Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) up-front while Pascal Groß (£5.8m) earns a second consecutive start in midfield.

The big news for Burnley is that Ben Mee (£4.9m) is finally back in the team, making his first appearance of the season since recovering from a long-term problem.

He displaces Kevin Long (£4.5m) to sit alongside James Tarkowski (£5.4m) at the heart of Burnley’s back-four.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-1-2-1-2): Ryan; Burn, Webster, Veltman, Lamptey; White; Bissouma, Lallana; Groß; Maupay, Welbeck.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Brownhill, Westwood, Brady; Wood, A Barnes.

    Lamptey is so funny, perma-flagged but always plays

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

      Yeah perma flagged, doesn't haul until last GW, yet kept going up in price. Funny guy indeed.

          The "less than" sign doesn't work on FFS comments

            It does but only if you have a space between it and the next character 1 < 2 > 1

    Oh. Burnley's first-choice backline is back

    Ryan and Maupay punishing sellers?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Trossard trolling buyers

    2. built_this_city
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Someone is definitely taking the piss outta me

      Last week did Podence -> Pulisic
      This week Ryan -> Mendy.

      LAST WEEK I HAD NO KEEPER

    3. Party time
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I sold Maupay for Wilson

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          prefer that anyway

    4. Holmes

      Time for some Burnley CSs

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Owners deserve this

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Imagine after 7 weeks the team of the season being:

      Martinez
      Zouma Saiss Mings
      Salah Son Grealish Zaha
      Kane Vardy Wilson

      You could actually afford that team too. It's the 3 Villa players that are pretty crazy. They've all played a game less!

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep so basically you could have took an 8 point hit (for 3 villa) between gameweeks 1 and 2 and be top.
        Mental.

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

        I got the 3 forwards right in my GW1 team, have son and zaha too lol. Maybe don't even need to make any transfers at all.

      3. Chhana
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Only Salah from my GW1 team

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

      wtf wheres trossard? Potter is totally clueless, last week Maupay MIA and Ryan mysetrious benching, Then this week Trossard doesnt even make the bench.
      All Brighton assets bar lamptey out of my team for eternity

      Potter thinks that making non-stop changes makes him a good manager like Pep or something, he has no clue, will be fired soon.

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

      Trossard finally dropped for always wasting chances aiming crossbars and posts.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Trossard essential in fantasy cross bar challenge

    8. jdp219

      GTG? Bench order OK?

      McCarthy
      Zouma, Cancelo, KWP
      Salah, Sterling, Son(c), Soucek, Podence
      Kane, Jimenez
      (Nyland; Justin, Saiss, Davis)

        No worries - this early deadline will have caught a few out. Good luck with the election. Must be announced soon 🙂

    9. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      I thought i have learned to control my emotions when things going wrong in fpl but Trossard's absence is so ^$%#^&$&&.

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

        screw Brighton frankly

    10. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Goal CS and max BAPs for Lamptey will do just fine 😉

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years

        gona have a ridiculously massive meltdown if brighton keep a clean sheet
        Worse than trump

    11. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane EO 155%
      Son EO 106%

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What do you mean by this please

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If you don't own Kane and he hauls you can delete your team

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Effective ownership. Imagine Kane is owned by 100% but only 55% captain him, or 53% own Son and all captain him.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        top 10k or overall?

        should care more about overall, unless you're actually anywhere near top 10k rn - most that are are only there solely because they've had kane and son longest

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Overall is too far but I agree something like top 200k or 500k makes more sense than 10k

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          And DCL, Bamford etc

      3. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Top 10k

      4. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Im ranked under a million and get a red arrow from a player with an EO over 100% gets points whom I haven't captained.

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years

          Only a punty hit Semedo to Coufal.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Why on earth would you do that though. Needed to free up funds for KDB?

            1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
              • 6 Years

              No, just a feeling considering next three gws

    15. lugs

      just sold Trossard for Wellbeck(c) on my 2nd Sky team, 0% ownership this should be fun 🙂

    16. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      So if Mour park the bus against City, at the Bridge, and then against Arsenal..would you still keep Kane?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If you keep him for those two you might as well. Looking to get rid before the City gamd

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years

          The sensible move indeed

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        there are zero playing 4.0's anymore. either accept they'll be benched or fork out the extra 0.2 for kilman

      Those with WC, are you waiting? My team shape looks great next gameweek. I might wait.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Was just going to ask the same thing, in fact. I'm not quite as well set up for gw9. I have too many Wolves and some deadweight to address. But still not sure whether to activate WC yet.

      Who else has kept faith in Maupay? Need a big performance from him.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have.

    20. pakornk

      Can TAA survive a price drop this international break?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Probably depends on performance against City.

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          fwiw - I dropped him this week. But if he blanks again, I'd think he drops in price.

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes after his haul this weekend hehe

      3. Botman and Robben

        He will after his 20 pointer against City.

          If the sacking window comes into effect, new manager bounce, fixture turn against Tottenham, so

          Son to Bruno or Prospective Prime Minister
