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.

    Three players today, four tomorrow (and a fifth benched), and thinking Dunne to Kilman for all the marbles as an early transfer, depending on how pricing changes.

  2. MagicMessi

    Lamptey almost assist

  3. ivantys
    • 3 Years

    Welbeck looks like a decent buy by them.

  5. Hazz

    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So almost a goal and an assist already.

    Points: 1

      • 9 Years

      Don't worry he's first sub for me so he's sure to score big

    Lamptey is the almost guy every week...frustrating an exciting to own all at once... 1pter inc

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

      he will get 6 minimum

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

      not the finished article yet, and those around him couldnt hit a barn door with a banjo

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So Lamptey should have been on 1 goal and assist already ?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yesssss

  9. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hoping for a Lamptey goal, assist, CS, and max bonus points. Likely outcome - 1pt 😀

  10. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey, winger or wingback?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      RWB

  11. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    After missing the deadline for the second week in a row and still having aguero and Mitchell I have had to change my username...at least Salah as captain will be a differential as will not having Kane

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haha, don’t worry mate, Sam came good in the end

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years

      🙂 BOL!

  12. Boz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey really is an exciting player to watch

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

    Does that count as a Ryan save?

  14. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey still only 11.6% owned. Feel like I have a secret weapon in my team that everyone knows about.

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

      Would have been higher owned if he was not 100% of the time yellow flagged.

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

      Only those who watch Brighton's games would buy him. His overall points stats is trash.

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

        Casual comment, anyone that goes for a player purely on the points they have so far is a casual 😉

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

          You must have enjoyed your TAA's and Lamptey's hauls 😉

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I sold him because of the stats, better players in better teams.

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I just got him out in a (Lamptey Mings Brakley to Chilwell Balbuena Bowen) Combo because of bad fixtures swing for Brighton

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        😮

  15. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay looks like he's paralyzed every time he gets the ball in a dangerous position. Not a good sign, guess it's time to get rid

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay looking poor?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He’s an awful player.

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Buggu'd for after his brace. 😉

  17. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years

    I want to own Lampety just to join in the fun on here

    1. FPL Daniel

      Do it

  18. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    Vola sports stopped working. Any other similar app?

  20. PocketZola

    who else forgot about todays deadline? me thats who, im a casual now 🙁

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years

      No excuses bro.

  21. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Whats the big deal with Lamptey? As a non owner i’ve missed nothing? Averaging 3pts per game?

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

      mini roberto carlos

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      You must be a west brom fan

    3. NABIL - FPL otai

      Poor (yet wise) man's TAA

    4. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing just very attacking position with the potential normal cs

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks attacking.

    6. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Exciting to watch. Best 4.5 def by distance.

      1. shiregeriatric
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        4.7

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

      A defender in a team who can't keep CS? You've missed nothing 😉

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

      I take it Lamptey non-owners just dont watch football, and rely solely on stats and points. He has been very unlucky, probably should have had an additional 20 points if not for bs

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This. Just watch him play

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

      Watch the game. It's quite scary if you're a non-owner imo. Every time he's in the box I think he'll get an assist or go down and win a penalty.

  22. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy
    Chilwell, Reguilon, Coufal
    Salah, Son, Ziyech, JRod, Grealish
    DCL, Kane(c)

    Button, Justin, Brewster, Branthwaite
    1.0 itb

    What do you think? Points prediction ?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      nailed on for a 22 pointer GW

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you

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

      The only fails will be Kane (C), DCL, Grealish, Reguilon. The rest of them will bring points

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Was thinking of going with Chilwell as a captain tbh

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

      34 all out.

  23. noone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    One of these days, Lamptey will bang an 18 pointer

  24. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Benched Lamptey and James will probably come on for run out to block my Lamptey haul 🙁

    1. La Roja

      1. S.Kuqi

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      FPL business as usual

    3. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Benching the Lamp is a sin

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      james 1 min sub guarentee

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

      Humptey Lamptey should never be benched.

  25. diesel001

    Anyone on here want Burnley to win this?

    2. Miguel Sanchez

  26. Ron_Swanson
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need a new GK. £5m or less. I was thinking Leno or Guita, or shall I just pick a £4.5m and leave?

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

      Leno

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Guaita?!

      As an owner, no.

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

      Don't go to Guaita

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wow, looks like Lamptey will be double digits tonight!

    CS basically guaranteed as it's Burnley and looking dangerous for a goal / assist

    1. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you say this out loud. Cursed now

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

        Ppl try to jinx it. No A no G no cs no bps atm.

  28. ZimZalabim

    Ben Mee is an absolute beast of a CB

  29. Miguel Sanchez

    Thoughts on best three Chelsea options to own?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell, Ziyech, Werner

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell and one of Zouma/James/Mendy. Not sure you need 3 for now

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Triple defense

  30. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    imagine burnley player attempting an over-head kick
