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.

    Zaha might struggle against Burnley next week, I might sell for Bruno / Rash / Greenwood / Jota

      Tempting but then he has Newcastle and West Brom

      I think if he doesn’t return this week he could be on his bike

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

        Newcastle are not that bad so it is only the Fulham game

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

    I used to think McNeil is decent player

  3. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay is useless

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      this

  4. Big boy Bowen

    Easy 0-0 this

      yes free money

        Wait

    So much Lamptey talk and he's got no bps?

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

      Missed a bug chance earlier. Not dribbling. Just running.

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years

      The guy has been very good. BPS doesn't always reflect the small off the ball things that Lamptey does that has made him a threat this game.

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

      He will with the upcoming attacking returns

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've seen Salah make the difference in many games and be nowhere near the baps. Sometimes the scoring system doesn't reflect the kind of risk taking play that is needed to win games.

    Lamptey 1st on my bench. 6 points is perfect, strikes a balance between giving me something to look forward to if Reece James gets rotated, and not being too much of a loss if he gets stuck on the bench.

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have you thought about the possibility of him coming on at 85'?

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hence the second part

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          5 point loss is too much for me at this stage. You are too optimistic, it seems 😀

            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Optimism needs to come from somewhere when you're ranked close to 4m lol

    2. ilikewud

      Benching Lamptey against Burnley was bold.

    3 - Veltman, Mee (29)
    1 - Taylor (28)

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

      I benched Taylor for Kilman last minute, s***

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

        Who is this guy Veltman?

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

      Lamptey's going to be getting all his baps from goals this game

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

      Feel like I might regret benching Taylor...

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Here, for Cancelo

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

    Time to take Lamptey and bank the clean sheet

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

      *take Lamptey off

  9. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Maupay left out of last GW squad in order to bring him back down to earth? Hardly an inflated ego due to number of goals he scores.

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

    The real J. Rod coming in

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

    Taylor on for 9 points. If it stays this way, I will punish myself for playing TAA over him.

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

      Wait .

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

      Wait for TAA's 16 pointer.

    3. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TAA will come good. I finally sold him this GW 😀

  12. THFC4LIFE

    Chances of Reece James starting tomorrow?

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

      theres doubts? Isnt he pretty much nailed?

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

      I think he will, we need attacking full back to crack Sheffield defense

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think he’ll start with azpi left back. Chilwell better used with Werner LW so he can overlap. Pulisic likely to come in for him so they need an overlapping full back for Ziyech instead

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Pulisic isn’t fit to play according to Frank

    4. some witty pun
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      As a Chelsea fan I think he starts - need him to provide the width on the right for Ziyech to drift inwards

  13. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    14 shots off target and counting..,

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

      Xhaka's open play record here

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

      That's amore...

      Wait.

      Thats a Maupay.

  14. ivantys
    • 3 Years

    Lamptey always in position to receive a pass to shoot but his teammates never pass to him.

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

      Yeah, what's wrong with them we all own him on ffs

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yup...

  15. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey is quite a steal at his price, Brighton a midtable team and he's playing almost like a RW

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

      Lamprey is most overrated pick on on here. Not even averaging 4 ppg and for just .5 more u can get players like zouma bellerin etc

      Brighton cant keep cleanies doesnt matter where they are on the table

      Burnkey home and fulham home. That will be their two clean sheets all season from now

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Okay sir.

      2. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He was very unlucky to be subbed early when they did keep a cleany. He also got an assist in that game so would likely have about 6 more points if he'd stayed on for 3 more minutes.

  16. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well done so far to those who kept ryan

  17. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Shouldn't have checked my live rank. Too big a jump with Lamptey and Taylor. Doesn't end well usually !

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

    Wow just toying with my 2fts. I have Robbo and he's only owned by 17.9%..

    Think il be keeping him tbh. Almost a differencial 🙂

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

      Scotland are going to flog him over the international break. Can see him being benched against Leicester.

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

        Slavery!

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

      Differential isn't necessarily a positive

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

    I hate to be too much of a pessimist but don't Burnley have a habit of scoring late goals in close matches like these (over the past few years)?

  20. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Looking ahead to next gw think kdb to Bruno is a bad move it I captain fernandes ?

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

    I find myself hoping for a Foden benching with Taylor first on my bench

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

    What happened to Ashley Barnes. regressed massively from a few seasons ago.

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Injuries

  23. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Brighton score.

  24. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey is one hell of a player.

  25. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wtf is with Brighton taking short corners when they have 3 or 4 six foot defenders?

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

    I was planning to get Vardy to Jimenez GW10...but have the exact amount and he is going up tonight. Should I get him in now?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Far too early imo

  27. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years

    1. Hazz

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

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

    4. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

    5. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wonder how you react when there is a goal

  28. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pope getting me some decent points in his last game for me
    I'll be playing Martinez for the next 7 game weeks
    So it's time to sell for a £4m bench fodder to free up some funds

  29. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Congratz Lamptey owners on CS. Well done.

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

      They deserve it tbh

  30. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey any bonus?
