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.

    Only worry the Brighton left back has in this game is stepping on a rake

        2 years, 4 months ago

        David Luiz has a new challenger

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Maupay better come on, can't stand rival getting Livramento off the bench again when I start him every week

      Sanchez howler the only chance Brighton lose this CS.

        Newcastle got absolutely nothing going forward have they. Shocking team. January cant come soon enough for the investment to inject this squad.

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

        Already plotting his route to 2 points

      3. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He would have to literally toss t into his own net the way it’s going so far

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mbeumo and Raph to Son and Jota this week for free for me.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Bit early mate

      2. Aeu96197
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It is probably too early. But you must also have some stash in the bank mate, to be able to do that

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Where is Sanchez's save ?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Never been there

    6. Rainer

      Lamptey in the mood!

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Eddie Howe gone to find a shredder.

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

          And the rest of the ninja turtles

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 4 months ago

            He won't fit in there!

        3. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Can’t really decide what to do with that Brentford crap duo, next fixture is good but this one was already better…

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I mean it's not like they'll never get points, and there's not many options screaming out anyway. Just relax and reassess after the international break

              1. Atimis
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Plenty options in midfield tbh, STs are poor yeah

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    True true, don't know your full team but yeah wouldn't be too happy with a double up

              2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Newcastle are pretty awful, Norwich have been too but I think if you have them you have to play them next week, or at least one of them. After that though get rid

              3. The Red Devil
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Giving them Newcastle, not very optimistic though

                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Only got Toney and I’ll hold for Newcastle

              Anyone going to persist with the Brentford deadly duo ?

              Gallagher and Guiata bringing home the bacon today.

                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Yea, had them for weeks, benched Gallagher last week and was no way I was dropping him again. 2 clean sheets in a row fir guita is very nice too. Just a shame I got rid of cancello (for James). Might have to accept he is the best city asset and buy back (for rudiger).

            • Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I know only 5.7 but Hwang starting to feel a bad pick

                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Tough fixture

                1. Stranger Mings
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Yeh I benched him initially but then played over mount and livra. I want to cry

              2. Tasty Jerk
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Yep, wont play us every week (cant believe im saying this) 😀

            • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              As an ASM owner the only good thing is he is easy to identify

            • GoonerGirl
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Someone on here recommended I buy Trossard and fpl fix recommended Trossard as well, of course I decided to go against the advice and go with ESR.
              I just know he won't do anything tomorrow now.

              1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                ESR is still a good option, Watford is a great fixture too

                1. GoonerGirl
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Yeah, you're right. It's only because I've made the wrong choice in transfers the last 3 game weeks so think it'll happen again, only reason I'm concerned really.

                  1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                    • 3 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    I get that, just be patient and I'd say you'll be fine. I brought in Trossard but knew realistically it'd be short-term, but looking at Arsenal's fixtures if I had ESR I'd be pretty happy to keep him at least up until around GW20

              2. Gunneryank
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                ESR is surely a better pick than Trossard. Arsenal should turn Watford over. Unless i just jinxed it.

                1. GoonerGirl
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Let's hope you haven't lol COYG

                  1. Gunneryank
                    • 2 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    It'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen....?

                    😀

            • lilmessipran
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              2 fts exact money to do this -

              Christensen + Luiz to lamptey + Gallagher..do it or wait?

              Need a goal from Newcastle. Sanchez and Duffy CS will kill my rank.

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

                Sanch will sort it out

              2. Gunneryank
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                I'm afraid that won't do.

                • 6 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Hope that also, but might bet that it's not gona happen.

                2 years, 4 months ago

                I don't concur.

            • Flynny
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Are there any decent strikers sub 7.5m to buy??

                • 6 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Are there any decent strikers to buy?!?

                1. Gunneryank
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  My strikers are doing a protest art piece social statement about the natural of not having things. Like goals. It's quite profound.

              2. DA Minnion (Former great)
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Adam Armstrong.

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

                Hwang?

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

                Pukki

                1. Flynny
                  • 9 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Pukki and Armstrong seem the best of the bunch really!!

                  1. Pep bites Kun
                    • 7 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Pukki I like. Sou attack seems up in the air.

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Yep

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

                  He hasn't been bad this season, but without Buendia he hasn't got any service and has been forced to defend too much.

              5. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                I'm hoping Eddie Howe won't continue with this disgusting 541 that Jones is using, and Wilson becomes an top option again.

              6. Pep bites Kun
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Nacho could be a good buy - nice fixtures

              7. Dammit_182
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                I’ll be getting in Wilson - 3 of the next 4 fixtures look great and he is 7.3.

                Will then ditch him.

            • Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Now Trossard on penalties is a completely different proposition. Hmm….

            • Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              At least from what I've seen, even Toney will score vs this Newcastle team. So no need to ditch him yet.

              1. Dammit_182
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                I’ll be keeping for that game too.

            • wulfrunian
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Best defender up to 5.6?

                • 7 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Livramento

                Stones, but Laporte is the risk.

              Good evening all!! Need to get Cancelo in!!! Early thoughts of what I should, advice welcomed!!

              A- Raphinha to Gallagher or Toney to Hwang to enable Rudiger to Cancelo(have Chilwell)
              Or
              B- Toney to 4.4 or Raphinha to 4.4 and move White to Cancelo

              Cheers everyone!!

                  Both options have word "or"...

                Those both suck. I wouldn’t want to get rid of Rudiger. I wouldn’t want to get rid of Raphinha. And I wouldn’t want a 4.4 forward

                  Should have said the 4.4 are just 3rd bench fodder !! I have 15 active players atm and it’s causing massive headaches

              If Brighton go 5th in the Premier League, does it show the strength or weakness in England?

                It just shows that they are an excellent, well-coached team at the peak of their powers. Seeing them in potential relegation trouble last year was one of the biggest footballing mysteries of recent times.

                  True.

                  But what does it say about the other 19 or so told big 6?

                It shows the difference a good manager can do with a squad of half decent players & excellent player recruitment

                  That's right.

                  Decent manager and good club.

                Brighton are a decent team. Defensively solid, good midfield with good technical players and play some nice football. It's been up top that they've really had most of their issues, a reliable striker (or possibly playing with Trossard as a false 9 as it's working well currently) means they should be in the top 10

                  I agree

                  Yep, as much as it pains me to say it as a Palace fan, Brighton are a very good side/mix of players and their Manager has them playing well.

                  1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                    • 3 Years

                    You guys aren't doing too bad at the minute either! Got a lot of great talent at the club and Vieira is doing really well with getting the best out of them

                Sounds like a loaded question.

              Brentford's honeymoon period well and truly over then.

                Not only that, but the wife's run off.

              What're havertz owners doing? Is he at the risk of being benched if Lukaku is back fit after IB? Original plan was him to son, but need the funds to get cancelo too

                Moving to Son most likely.

                Probably sell to Jota, and then upgrade defense week after

              Is Foden at risk home to Everton with PSG a few days later?

                • 7 Years

                Only safe pick is Cancelo

                • 9 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Yes, but tough to say who'll start, all city players are a risk barring cancelo I think
                Pep doesn't seem to drop in form players

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              9 ESR bench points last week and 14 off the bench for Cancelo this week.

              Love some jam

                I think Chelsea full backs and Cancelo have the potential to match him, at least for value.

                2 years, 4 months ago

                I bought him for Dias this week. If you have Cancelo, Chilly and James, you might get away with it.

                I have been since GW4 but have had my sights set on him for next week onwards. They normally put a few past Arsenal and the run after that is decent, only worry I have is how long Keita is out for, haven't won a game this season without him and have conceded 8 in 4 in his absence

              28 from 5 players. I’ll take it. Livra points languishing on the bench though.
