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.

    Ok Maupay I’ve held you 4 weeks for zero returns in nice fixtures. It’s over

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

      Same here.

  6. Free Hat

    Still finding it strange to see a 1m98 wingback.

    But for his height Burn does quite okay.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Burn was born to play Burnley

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Burn to be alive

    2. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Did you see him trying to cross the ball a minute ago?

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone can give a bad cross tbf.
        But he is quite agile and the thing is he gets in the positions to cross.

  7. FPL Daniel

    I am surprised that Pope is not on 3BP

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

      Could still change

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

    Taylor 8 pointer on my bench. Classic.

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

    Dan Burn with a proper CB's cross

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

        Survive: Escape from Atlantis

        and

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years

          Survive looks great! Might have to try that one out.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years

      Which ones?

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Go for broke is an underrated classic.

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

        Haha I have to say I agree with the general rating

    4. Ain't No Holebas Girl
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Carcassonne for the win

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

        I like it. I started playing the computer version recently. Nice experience too

        1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Same, was surprised how good it was online! Got me through lockdown...

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

            Music gets stuck in me head though, and some weird tile-laying mechanic starts taking over my dreams and conception of real life in general.

    Lamptey should have had attacking returns. So unlucky.

    Also Maupay is a donkey. Crap player

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

    How is that not a foul even though it was a slip?

  13. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Taylor and Ryan on my bench ffs

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

      Why but why ??

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

        KWP & McCarthy

  14. Meinhoff
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    HOLD LAMPTAYLOR

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

    11 Burnley players now running towards the Brighton goal in a herd.

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

      seems like that'd come from the Dyche playbook

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Game finished?

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

    Say what you want about the lack of attacking quality in this game
    But plenty of cheap defensive points on offer

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

    Score Tariq score!

  19. sunzip14
    • 7 Years

    0-0 FT. YAY!!!!

  20. Ze_Austin

    Nice basketball save from Pope

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

    Burnley seem contented with a draw

  22. Milk, 1 Šuker

    Taylor on the field. Ryan on the bench. Grrr...Potter you troll

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why om earth do you have Ryan on the bench ?

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

        I have 2 rotating GKs Ryan and McCarthy. I only benched Ryan because he was benched last week irl

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          So just start him. He either plays 90 or doesn't start. Strange decision.

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

            No good saying that now! Game's done fella

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

    stupid Maupay gtf out of my team

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

    CS for Lamptey juhuuuuu

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

    With the Burnley defence now back to its strongest, think its time to trust Taylor and play him every good fixture regardless of any other defender.

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

      Never lost faith in him. Looks set for some bonus too!

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

        How much is he nowadays?

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

  26. Hazz

  29. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Tbf I'm not happy with just 6 points from Lamptey.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

      Tbh**

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

      It's a Brighton CS. Take what you can get.

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

      better than a blank...

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

      Why so shy at crossing the ball??? Not one of his better games.

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

      More importantly, are your players reliable replacements for Son and Kane?

  30. Top Lad Dakes.

    Ah well - hope Coufal can match or better that from Taylor
