Unchanged Brighton defence chase latest clean sheet as Mitchell starts for Palace

Brighton are unchanged as they host Crystal Palace in the A23 derby.

Graham Potter has not been known for showing faith in personnel or systems during his time as a manager but five clean sheets in six matches has seemingly forced his hand.

It means further starts for Robert Sánchez (£4.5m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.9m), Brighton’s most popular defensive assets, although both of them can consider themselves differentials.

They are owned by 2.9% and 5.7% of Fantasy managers as of the Double Gameweek 25 deadline.

Thanks to his kind price and occasional route into Brighton’s midfield, Ben White (£4.4m) is catching the duo up although is still only in 2.2% of squads worldwide.

The cheapest members of Brighton’s resurgent back-line Joël Veltman (£4.3m) and Dan Burn (£4.2m) have not quite earned the same level of trust in the Fantasy community, perhaps based on recent line-ups.

Still, tonight marks Burn’s fourth successive Premier League start while Veltman has now featured from the beginning in nine of the last 10.

A positive result tonight could see each of them build on their 0.6% and 0.7% ownership respectively.

Steven Alzate (£4.2m) is in the left wing-back role again tonight with Yves Bissouma (£4.4m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) in central midfield.

Alexis Mac Allister (£5.3m) occupies the number 10 role behind Neal Maupay (£6.1m) and out-of-position FPL midfielder Leandro Trossard (£5.7m).

Crystal Palace line-up in 4-4-2 formation as they search for a first Premier League goal this season without Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) in the side.

Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.8m) are tasked with that job as tonight’s centre-forward while Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) starts on the left-hand side of midfield in front of Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m).

His first start since Gameweek 23 keeps Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) on the bench for only the second time since Gameweek 21.

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-1-2): R Sánchez; Burn, Dunk, White; Alzate, Bissouma, Groß, Veltman; Mac Allister; Maupay, Trossard.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Cahill, Kouyaté, J Ward; Eze, Riedewald, Milivojevic, A Townsend; Ayew, Mateta.

Double Gameweek 25 so far…

      How are Brighton this poor?!

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        their team is basically a play on lamptey

        alot of threat but nothing to show for it

        Because they are...........

        Hmm not sure they are poor. Watched most of the game and they were heads and shoulders better than a terrible palace. Massive smash and grab and completely undeserved victory.

          Activity does not equal achievement

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Even still. Letting that opposition have about 2 touches in your box the whole game and still losing is unbelievable really. They had like 80 pc possession too.

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nah they are poor. You can't have all that possession, not score any goals & concede at the feeblest attempt!

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Well agree to differ opinion. I would wager Brighton will still finish above Palace come season end.

      Terrible keeping

    2. Not again Shirley

      Ben white was at fault for first goal. He was wrong side of defender.

        Have it away for the second also. Don’t care, he’s class in a good team.

    Two touches in the Brighton box result in two great goals.

    Simple game.

    Lol at me for playing Sanchez or Martinez.

      Martinez??? Wtf dude. The Goat

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

        Thought Villa would get spanked and 30 mins in was looking right.

        Brighton had CS after CS and Palace created (almost) Nothing today.

        It was the right pick fixture wise and statistically. Classic FPL!

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only 1 point in it, Pope to McCarthy hurts more so far 🙁

      score 1 of 25 shots and you deserve to lose imo

        Shoot three and you deserve to win?!? 😉

      1. djman102
        • 14 Years

        According to BBC. Probably Townsend from 30 yards somewhere in there.

  26. Red dev

    Really need some advice. Not too long ago I was 2k OR now slipped out of 10k. Feel like I should wildcard. But may just be a knee jerk reaction. What do you think?

    Have 7 good double gameweek players plus grealish and justin. Both obvs need to go. 3 leeds, ings, coufal, no kane or son, no barnes.

    Used freehit so need to plan for blank 29. Still have TC. 1 FT

    Any ideas?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d really consider wc but not sure how good you can get it with 29 looming; need to build your best team and then review

    2. flipmode_1
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah get rid of Grealish and Justin that’s the priority. Can you get son? Think you need either him or Kane for this week. Use TC this week I am. Going straight on Bruno.

      1. Red dev
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh I was thinking TC Bruno so can't wildcard of I do that. I could get son for grealish or Kane for ings? 

        Are you going with Salah? Getting frustrated with him. If WC would take him out

        1. flipmode_1
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Either is fine.
          Yeah sticking with Salah me, hoping for some good fortune this week!
          I just need to decide if I’m swapping ings or Antonio to DCL

    3. Red dev
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks it's a tough one. If Grealish was definitely playing vs Leeds I wouldn't consider WC I could just do a -4 and get 10 out. Keep leeds, villa and west ham and get Kane in. Seemed simple before.

      Any chance Grealish plays?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nobody knows. And nobody you can trust will say anything.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Honestly don't think you have too much of a problem. 2k>10k or 10k>2k is all luck ; did you bet on Bernado Silva? I mean that's just pure jam. It'll come back, don't knee jerk.

          1. Red dev
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks mate just had a terrible week. Relying on bamford, raphinha and ings tomorrow!

    4. Red dev
      • 3 Years

      Yeh I was thinking TC Bruno so can't wildcard of I do that. I could get son for grealish or Kane for ings?

    Hate Brighton! Clean sheet machines when not in my team and useless when I bring their defenders in on a WC!

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

      Would never trust a team like Brighton no matter what their form

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I don't even get a save point from Sanchez when they concede with their only shots on target
        Last time I betray Emi! 😀

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

          Only 1 point in it I guess

  28. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2 touches in the box, 2 shots, 2 goals.
    Absolute robbery.

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

      Such is the clinical nature of benteke

    2. Chrisitis
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Three shots actually
      Cpl were never under, they didnt need any shots
      Its football
      Everton scored against city with three shots and one sot

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Palace barely had the ball. Daylight robbery would be insulting to those robbers.

      2. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They didn't need any shots? More like they were completely unable to create any kind of danger.
        But yeah, it's the nature of football.

  29. flipmode_1

    1FT 1.3ITB

    Martinez
    Alioski Cancelo Stones Dallas
    Salah Bruno Gundo Son
    Bamford Ings

    Pope Soucek Antonio Coufal

    What’s the right move here for this week, I have just enough to do Antonio to DCL? Could take a hit and get rid of Dallas also.
    Advice please.
    Thanks

    1. Red dev
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh definitely DCL. You could bench Alioski and play Dallas. Unless you risk the -4 and get Digne with 2 fixtures

      1. flipmode_1
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah quite fancy Digne and DCL for a hit. I took a -4 this week but it paid off as I captained Bruno

  30. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    To think Brighton had 25 shots on goal.

    1. Red dev
      • 3 Years

      They need a decent sriker that's for sure!
