Brighton v Palace team news: Olise + Eze start, Lamptey benched

Double Gameweek 22 gets underway this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion play host to Crystal Palace in the M23 derby.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Graham Potter makes two changes from his team’s 3-2 win at Everton, with Pascal Gross and Jakub Moder coming in for Enock Mwepu (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (international duty).

That means Tariq Lamptey has to settle for a place on the bench, with Joel Veltman preferred at right-back.

Jeremy Sarmiento (hamstring) and Lewis Dunk (knee) miss out completely, although Dunk could be back for Brighton’s second Gameweek 22 match against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Crystal Palace, who have lost their last three league matches on the road without scoring, make four changes from Double Gameweek 21, as Jack Butland, Conor Gallagher, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise replace Vicente Guaita, Luka Milivojevic, Jordan Ayew and Christian Benteke.

Notably, Eze makes his first league start of the season, whilst Olise is handed an opportunity to shine from the off, having been directly involved in five Premier League goals as a substitute this season, scoring two and assisting three.

Wilfried Zaha, Cheikhou Kouyate and Ayew are all on international duty, whilst James Tomkins and James McArthur are both sidelined through injury.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Webster, Burn, Cucurella, Gross, Lallana, Moder, Mac Allister, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Scherpen, Lamptey, Alzate, Welbeck, March, Caicedo, Roberts, Leonard, Ferguson

Crystal Palace XI: Butland, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Hughes, Schlupp, Gallagher, Olise, Eze, Edouard

Subs: Guaita, Milivojevic, Mateta, Clyne, Benteke, Kelly, Ferguson, Riedewald, Rak-Saki

            At least my rival used his FH and brought him in too

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Yes, but at least he never took a hit to bring him in.

              1. Junglist95
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Fair.

                1. Deulofail
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah but at least he'll get a goal off the bench

                  1. Gazwaz80
                    • 4 Years
                    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it just me or is FPL knackered as still allowing changes for GW 22!

    1. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Deadline's been moved due to tonight's postponed game

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

        Oh you old geezer

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Well, is it just me?????

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

        Seems to allow changes for me too

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years

        It's not just you

      3. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Me too but that has changed now.

        I benched Lamptey but now it has actually updated lol

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

      FPL has always been a game of luck, just now it's more than ever. Even paying attention which was the other element of the game is irrelevant!

  5. fplgaruda
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lamptey...

  6. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Are we up to 10 yellows now or is this the last week tthat you can get suspended with 5?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on how many matches played

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's after 19 matches played, so depends on how many postponements a team's had

    3. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs, Leicester, Everton, Watford and Burnley players can still be banned after 5 bookings this gw.

      From gw24 it will just be Burnley players.

      1. Marty McFly
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Brownhill, Cash, Digne, Doucoure, Romero, Marvelous Nakamba

  7. 1314
    • 9 Years

    chances of Arsenal to blank ? I forgot to switch DDG from bench for Ramsdale 😮

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

      Arteta will do his best for you

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You can still do it now. FPL hasn't updated properly

  8. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years

    Hate watching only my keeper in a TV game

  9. Geriatric Unathletic

    1. jammie26
      • 3 Years

  11. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo EO only 110..

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

      Flag factor.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Higher than I would have expected personally

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I definitely wouldn’t have expected him and Kane’ combined to be 130

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Kane is 20% EO?

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            That’s what livefpl says

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Sorry now it’s saying 35

              • 10 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              So about 150 combine yeah that sounds about right

  12. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    50 more minutes left for Lamptey to sub in and get those CS points.

  13. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    All these postponements are doing my head in. Might just call it a day and give up on this season

  14. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    1-0 with Cucurella goal would be nice

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It would

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chances Lamptey makes an appearance tonight?

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

      Reasonable if the score is 0-0

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

    2. Marty McFly

      OMG

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

        Didn't they have a fight though and Maguire is bitter that his only silverware are Greek handcuffs?

        1. Avery
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Could be, that is what I thought too

    5. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maguire not quite different in fantasy football either, it seems.

    6. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would be nice if they included the transfer date and time

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

        Maguire makes early transfers and late challenges

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

      Trossard VC, lets go.

    8. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Ronaldo didn't make the afternoon training session. Wonder if Dennis passed his fitness test. Could be a bumpy weekend.

  20. Junglist95
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Now the deadline is over when will we get the NLD and then Watford Burnley cancellation notifications???

    1. Sailboats

    2. Junglist95
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      And of course Ronaldo out of one or both of their matches even though it sounds like he's gtg

      What's NLD?

          If he or she (it?), isn't English and/or, a devoted P.L fan then it's not hard to comprehend them not knowing that.

            In fairness, I'm English, a semi-Arsenal fan, and watch a lot of football. I must have just missed this initialism A LOT over the years.

      Yeah, a heads up that him and Ronaldo had a spat and he needs to prove a point

    2. The Suspended One

      That’s a big headline

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Made the transfer at 17:45 today too apparently :s

  26. Kodap
    • 6 Years

    Any chance we see Lamptey tonight?

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

      Yes.

      35%

  27. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Someone in my ML, who was beating me until last week, just played free hit and, amongst other things, selected and then benched Cancelo. This shows I'm not very good at this game, clearly.

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

      FH22 lost all merit once Arsenal submitted that request

      Most who had already played it went into panic, so there'll be all sorts of selections

      See the FFScout deadline stream for an example

  28. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire took out Ronaldo at 5.45pm today.

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

      Yep, but he's possibly a day behind??

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

      Nothing we can do about it now. If Rangnick was lying, fine

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Why lying? - Ralf Rangnick on Ronaldo/Jones/Sancho/Maguire: "Cristiano trained yesterday, Harry the day before. We have to wait for the final training session this afternoon but as it seems right now they should be available."

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

      Nope

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

      Fake news

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

        This bits a fact.

        Maguire and his mind something else...

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

      Oh. He sold for Lukaku

      May have just preferred Lukaku

    3. Pacer.

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years

      He has transferred him in/out 4 times this season. Wouldn't read into it lol

  29. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I can’t wait to see people surprised when a 36 year old Ronaldo doesn’t play 3 games in 7 days after just returning from and injury a day ago
