Duffy and Lamptey start but Maupay benched as Brighton face Newcastle

Brighton and Hove Albion face Newcastle United in the final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off at the Amex is at 17:30 GMT.

The visitors go into this match bottom of the table, following a win for Norwich City at Brentford earlier this afternoon.

Albion, despite not winning any of their last five league matches, will go fifth with a victory over the managerless Magpies.

The Seagulls have an excellent recent record against Newcastle, however, having not lost to today’s opponents in their last eight meetings. The hosts have conceded only one goal in those eight fixtures, beating Steve Bruce’s former side 3-0 on two occasions in 2020/21.

Graeme Jones will take temporary charge of Newcastle for very probably the final time this evening, with Eddie Howe in the director’s box at the Amex ahead of his imminent appointment.

Jones makes three changes to the side that began the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, with the benched Javier Manquillo, Ryan Fraser and Sean Longstaff replaced by Jonjo Shelvey, Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron.

Graham Potter makes only one change to the side that started the Gameweek 11 draw at Anfield. Tariq Lamptey gets his first league start of the campaign, replacing Jakub Moder, but there is again no place in the starting XI for Neal Maupay.

Shane Duffy keeps his place at centre-half.

Duffy and Robert Sanchez are, by some distance, the most popular FPL players in tonight’s fixture. Both are owned by just under one in four FPL managers overall and just under 40% of the top 10,000 Fantasy bosses, while 11% of the top 10k own both of them.

    I supposed Im thankful James still manage 7pts. Now hopefully Salah blanks

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Salah will explode..

  2. lilmessipran

    Welcome to my team Tariq

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gonna be very hard to ignore him, especially with that Leeds game on the horizon, guess I'll see if he can stay fit over the next couple of weeks first

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ya fitness/injuries is probably the only barrier

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      would you pick him over the Spurs' wing backs?

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think we have enough info reg. Spurs wingbacks yet.. they will be involved attacking wise but how sound they can be defensively is still a question mark for me right now

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey is not the kind of player I want going into a congested winter schedule.

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Went with Mitchell (and benched him this week, smh) instead of him even for .1 more

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think Mitchell is no doubt the safer pick of the two but I have a decent enough bench cover to go for Lamptey with more upside

  3. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz outscored my 3 strikers combined by double the points this gw. Impressive.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No Antonio?

      1. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No, started with him, but got rid on wc in gw 5.

        1. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough

  4. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard audition time, good to see Potter has trusted him again playing as the focal point of the attack.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep same here, between him and Bowen for me

  5. MFC86
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Can we all get rid of Toney now ??

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for his price to rise then sell.

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

        Playing his old club next

        And there are hardly any options to replace him with

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Plus the stats are good, he just had a home game against worst team in the league for years and didn't manage single SOT.

          Captain material.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No hold.
      Guy is a talisman & true gem just not scoring that's all.

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    4 played, 3 blanks.

    Just another dreadful GW.

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thank the lord I played my BB this week. 18 points from the bench with Steeke as keeper. I had takena minus 12 this week to bring in Brentford, lol, but at least ones Henry 🙂

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Steele

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

    Mbeumo pick was so bad till now..

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      In my prayers

    2. FPLtfs

      26 points, 7 to go, thats really good, no?

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Humble brag

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

    Anyone know if raphinha a doubt for gw12 due to flying back late like during the last international break?

    Thanks

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah Brazil only 2 IB games this time and last one is like on a Tuesday or something

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

        Cheers.....

  10. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Can somebody please remind my team we are not playing blankety blank!

  11. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz was a decent buy it seems. 17 points in 3 gw Isn't terrible.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Did his job once he didn't tempt you to captain vs Norwich.

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        When in doubt captain salah

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Spurs defense starting next GW definitely makes a lot of sense.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is there a spot in teams for one of them who conceded twice vs Vitesse?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It's time for The Doc.

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If they will learn fast under Conte

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Emerson worth keeping an eye on....

  13. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Man captaining a defender is bit more painful than captaining an offensive player

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea ?

  14. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    It seems Man City and Chelsea are taking it in turns to keep clean sheets

  15. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Recon I could wait and keep Havertz one more GW?

    Or you expect him to be benched after IB?

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Still not sure. Will wait and see

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure but he'll be the Son/Jota placeholder for many once the IB is over.

  16. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sky sports commentary: Newcastle have barely touched the ball so far. It's like watching Manchester United.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Damn Burn

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He’s not playing today. Injured I think

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thought he was Dan Burn and he played for Brighton?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'm sorry. "That's a damn burn from the commentator". Horrible joke X_X

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Love Azpi, last three games he gave me 13, 9 and 6 points 🙂

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

      6, 9, 6, 6 for me since I bought him (first one was actually him at least).

      Exactly what you want from a premium defender.

    2. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good buy then really. Otherwise you would have someone else who could have got 2,2,2

  18. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Think us Duffy owners deserve a 15 pointer

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He heard you!

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Will very much settle for 6 points at this point to soften the blow of Cancelo on my bench

  19. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I think Gallagher is looking like 4th midfield set and forget. Everything I hoped Mbeumo would be…

    1. The Point About It Is
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      my thoughts as well

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Been that for me for 2 weeks now. Fixture proof too. Wonder player for buttons.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He'll become like Mbeumo as soon as we get him.

  20. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lamps RW

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Back 4 for Brighton with Lamptey RW.

  22. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Has anyone else also benched Cancelo? This is pretty annoying.

    1. Monklane
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Of course I did.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who would do somthing that daft

      1. Monklane
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I did.

      2. Corona is not good 4 U
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It was not that stupid either. Manchester City lost the last game against Palace. In addition, Manchester United has not been bad last week. This game is very much based on luck.

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

        Would you say it was more daft or less daft than your decision to captain Vardy over Salah in GW9? 😉

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

      Yeah, for Duffy. No doubt another bad coin flip decision, but there we go

      1. Corona is not good 4 U
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sind Sie Deutsch oder haben Sie nur einen deutschen Namen?

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Nah, not German (and my GCSE German skills are very rusty these days!). Just a play on words

          1. Corona is not good 4 U
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I can not quite understand why some foreigners admire Germany. Unfortunately I am German. We seem to have a good reputation in the world. But the reality is that we are pretty chaotic.

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I did, had double Chelsea defence, Saka and ESR, Trent, Jimenez, Toney, Ronaldo, Raphinha. Happens once or twice a season a stupid benching decision, I guess this was it, though I can’t beat myself up too much about it.

    5. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Had 28pts on the bench last GW, at least 14 so far this week. Seems I can pick a decent squad, but not a decent first XI.

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Who were they?

        1. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ramsdale Saka Benrahma Liv

    6. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah but had Azpi playing.

  23. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foster Gallagher Livramento Dias BB has been a masterpiece

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

      Nice work. 20 points seems like a win on BB for me (never came close to it…)

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, decided last minute after leaving 25 points on the bench last week. On 23 with Foster to go, will take anything as long as it doesn’t have a minus sign!

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How many bench points so far?

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        23

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Very decent!

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    The amount of point dodging that I've done this week is hilarious.

    Double Chelsea defense - CS gone.
    Double Brentford attack - Blank.
    Cancelo second on the bench - will remain there.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Masterclass

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That isnt point dodging. The points never existed

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That does sound more accurate.

      2. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Brentford points arguably existed for the duration of a VAR check

  25. Tic Tacs
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Gallagher s 11 points will remain on the bench it seems, having Mount come off the bench for a 1 pointer is super annoying…

  26. FFFoxy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Exactly same boat. James and Chilwell owner, should’ve had so much more. Mbeumo & Toney owner. Cancelo second on bench because I thought United would score. Liv 3rd on bench lool, mess

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      We'll make up the deficit another week.

      1. FFFoxy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That’s the spirit!

  27. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    England lost the cricket, hattrick for SA in the final over.

    Through to the semi's still.

  28. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I got exact money for Havertz + Raph > Son + Gallagher (2 ft).
    I don’t think it will hold very long - definitely not long enough to learn more over the break.

    Would love to do this but think I gotta let it go which sucks.

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mbeumo/Toney/Vardy to Gallagher/Kane/Fodder for -8?

  30. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Contact on Trossard...

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

      Feels like it should be a pen to me - even though they’ve been letting a lot go lately.
