Welbeck and Podence missing as Brighton host Wolves

Brighton and Wolves are without key attackers as they meet at the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) came into the weekend with a yellow flag for his knee injury and is absent from the matchday squad.

That is now two matches in a row the Brighton forward has missed out on a place in the starting XI; Neal Maupay (£6.1m) Aaron Connolly (£5.2m) and Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) comprising the front-three against Wolves.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.7m) remains sidelined for his hamstring injury, so Joël Veltman (£4.3m) features on the right-hand side again, Dan Burn (£4.3m) earning a third successive start on the left of defence.

They sit in front of Robert Sanchez (£4.4m) who features for the fifth match in a row since displacing Mat Ryan (£4.3m).

Daniel Podence (£5.5m) is the key absentee for Wolves, as well as Raúl Jiménez (£8.2m) of course, with Fabio Silva (£5.2m) coming into the side to lead the attack.

Nuno Espirito Santo has gone back to the 4-2-3-1 formation he experimented with recently, featuring an attacking-midfield trio of Pedro Neto (£6.0m), Vitinha (£4.8m) and Adama Traoré (£6.1m).

Max Kilman (£4.1m) is the man to suffer from Nuno’s downsizing of the defence, Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m) and Nelson Semedo (£5.4m) operating either side of Romain Saïss (£5.1m) and Conor Coady (£4.9m).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez; White, Dunk, Webster; Burn, March, Bissouma, Veltman; Trossard, Connolly; Maupay.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Aït-Nouri, Saïss, Coady, Semedo; Neves, Moutinho; Neto, Vitinha, A Traoré; F Silva.

    Fpl is finished if that's a Saiss assist lol. Just make it up as they go along

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neto I mean

    2. Isco Disco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neto created that goal so deserves the assist

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        No way should that be a neto assist.

    3. Bring the Cavalry

      Cresswell assist last night was the worst I’ve seen I think. Shot going miles wide rebounded into the goal scorers path, still don’t understand

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I agree and I own him. It's just nonsense tbh

        1. thegame983
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          They were both clear assists

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who cares

  2. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Brighton's "own goal king" Lewis Dunk would of been proud of that one 😀

  3. Isco Disco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Neto assist...Woohooo
    Need 1 more goal Pedro

  4. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hahah how is that Neto assist?

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

      read the rules 😉

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sure i have to coz i understand dedlections, but it bounces back and then hits defender 😀

  5. MidTableFantasy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was that not on target from Neto? I couldn't really see a good angle.

    1. MidTableFantasy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      NVM see that it was saved first duh

  6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bissouma what a tool, down to 8 for GW18

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I thought he nicked the ball. Wasn't a yellow card, ffs.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same I was relying on a 2 pointer from him

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

        Same

  7. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    shouldn't be anyone's assist

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No you need to take into account the ownership of the player to determine if the assist stands

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        thats the fecking problem

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          System is terrible

          Should just use pure assists that Opta and the rest uses

          Then fix the BPS system

    Love the fact every cares about the cup. Absolute lottery. Like the real life cups who cares.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I guess you're out or didn't qualify?

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Of course I qualified. And winning. My name might be on the cup this year. 😀

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        only lucky ones knocked out early in this useless cup

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

      Just adds an extra layer of interest. I often don't even qualify so I'm happy to be in it this season.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Let us enjoy it, i'm out this week anyway

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

      Nobody actually cares about it but it's fun to talk about and moan about nevertheless.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The game is a lottery

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

    come on Neto one more goal

  11. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was that a shot on goal? Can't see the Neto assist sticking.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah - shot then keeper saved... bounced off defender

    2. Cruyff Turn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It was.

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

      yes 100%

    4. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saw the replay, it was a shot..

  12. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    He’s had an attempt on goal that ended up in the net without a teammate touching it. Definite assist

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

      this ppl need to read rules first

    2. Isco Disco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      THIS
      People who are crying about Neto assist should check the FPL rules first

  13. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I wonder when Potter will be fired

  14. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I thought having Mitchell was jammy but Cup opponent has Saiss as well.. that's me dead and buried....

  15. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Neto assist given

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

      of course it is his 😉

    2. Party time
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Of course!!

    3. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any early Arsenal team news? Randomly brought Mari in for Taylor and nervous he won't start

      Cheers

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mari will be fine, it's when Gabriel returns that he gets dropped

        1. Oggle22
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Phew thanks also have holding and saka pray for a clem sheet haha

    4. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lovely Neto assist!!!

    5. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rank is 1m and considering sterling (maybe captain) rather than kdb on free hit....

      Worth it for the differential??

      Thanks

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

        He's a better pick than KDB.

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Would pick both if on WC

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          *FH

      3. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        FH is differential enough

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Seems like little to lose on free hit given rank

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Do something crazy then. Triple Ncastle defence, Aguero C Sterling in.

      4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kdb sterling cancelo will do the job

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

      How was that a netonassist

      Seems like theyre just handing out assists for just being on screen when balls goes in now

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Shot on target, someone scored off the parry.

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

        It resulted from his cross. Like if a shot rebounded to a team mate and they scored it would count as an assist.

    7. Party time
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pedro Lomba Neto Juuuuuhuuuuuuuu

      • Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hopefully Brighton "keep the faith" with Potter 🙂

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          They sacked Chris Hughton for far less. I’m surprised he’s lasted this long.

          1. Tasty Jerk
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yep - does make me think Tony Bloom could pull the trigger sooner than later (I hope not)

      • Juza
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who is City goalkeeper with Ederson out?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Steffen probably.

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

        Bissouma suspended for Man City.

        Oh dear Brighton.

            KDB TC

      • Party time
          3 years, 2 months ago

        • Nimby
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Potter could be sacked by the time Brighton fave man city. Maybe they can employ big Slav to try and nick a draw again.
