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

      That’s disgusting. Seems there were a few of you hacked, gutted for you.

      Man that sucks. Sad how they don't have a 2 FA option.

      So sorry about that 🙁 You are not alone, many like you this week unfortunately

    6. Paqueta Rice

      That’s a joke. Surely they can see nobody would do this themselves and restore it? When we’re you last logged in?

        5 pm i did my FT Son to Bruno.

      Yes, you were hacked. Please contact FPL asap

      Sorry about that

      I'm sorry about that mate. These people are scum. I'd be gutted.

    9. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I wonder how they decide who to target or whether its just random and only selectes players below 100k or something.
      Have you ever given some 3rd party app access to your account?
      Your associated email address hasnt been hacked?

      Anything you noticed out of the ordinary recently? Or have you installed any fantasy related apps or programs in the last few months? (even ones that dont need access to the team).

      Sad to hear. Just needlessly ruining people’s harmless fun and for what?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You do have to wonder what someones motive is for this. Perhaps they like seeing people talk about it. Or maybe there is a financial incentive, another player removing rivals? Or mad as it sounds, someone who works for another fantasy game who is slowly trying to discredit this one?

        1. Hangman Page
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I guess it’s just some kid who is a coding whizz and they are targeting a weakness there. I’m no security expert.

          If it’s someone in their 20s or 30s it’s even more sad. Ultimately, they are the losers here.

      This is so annoying. I was in the last 8 of the FFS-Open Cup too and had a slightly good chance to maybe win it.

      But thanks for the sympathy from the most of you.

    14. Sun Jihai

      Any ideas as to what happened?

      Were you a FantasyFootballHub member? Any other apps you use for FPL? Trying to work out what the theme is as it keeps happening 🙁

      1. Matjes_taet
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Can only guess but to use the same log-ins on FPL and here on this place might was a mistake.

    15. NorCal Villan

      As a wise man sings, I guess there’s just a meanness in this world

  2. trick9

    I fell on the Lamptey trap earlier aswell.

    He's a good player but really injury-prone and needs to managed very carefully. He has played 90 minutes twice this season.

    Decided against transferring in Cucurella (Cash instead) because of his upcoming blank. Curious to see if that comes back to bite me.

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

      This would suggest I should have got Ronaldo and captained him.

    2. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      looks like i'm screwed if Ronaldo goes off....

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

      Surprised by Magnus' move. I tried to bring in Sterling at the deadline (and missed out by a few seconds).

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

      Magnus sees it

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

    Ronaldo cappers, who's your vice?

    1. chriskon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why what's going on with Ronny?

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

    The Ronaldo thing would have held more water if multiple Man U playing + backroom staff sold Ronaldo

    Maguire can't possibly be the only staff member there who's taking FPL seriously enough to sell their injured teammate (even a casual would)

    Not saying it's impossible. Just taking it with a pinch of salt. Lukaku is a replacement with form, a DGW and no knock, so it's not the wildest move for a casual

    Regardless, there's absolutely nothing to be done about that now. We wait

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

      Or maybe Maguire just pocketed him in training and doesn’t rate him anymore

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Except it’s maguire who couldn’t pocket his own hands

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

      Maybe Maguire plans to beat the crap out of him tonight.

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

      Maguire knows United are crap

  6. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Come on San(C)hez!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Benched him for DDG so congratulations

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

        Don't expect much, but had to give it a go with Spurs - Arsenal in doubt I could not trust (K)ane.
        No fun in a SGW'er like DCL, Jota, TAA or Bowen 😉

  7. The Mandalorian

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ruled out of Gabon's AFCON clash due to "cardiac lesions"

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Damn, hope he is ok?

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      Damn

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

      It's horrible news for football. Sadly it comes 24 hours after another player with heart problems.

      Alphonso Davies has seen an immediate return to action at Bayern Munich ruled out, with the Bundesliga giants detecting signs of heart muscle inflammation in a player that has recently recovered from Covid-19.

  8. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What's with all the Ronaldo (C)
    There's no way a 36 year old with an injury plays twice in a week.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Here’s hoping

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

      How about if he's fit?

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

        No way a 36 year old just returning from injury plays twice in a week

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

          You sound quite certain, especially with how many times you've repeated this

          What will you do/say differently if he does?

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

            I was wrong and you were right

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He's not injured.

  9. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    so what are this news on Ronaldo? Will he play ir not?

  10. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thought I was living dangerously choosing Ronaldo as Captain but both opponents in the cups have done the same. Looking at their teams this looks to be the week I crash out.

  11. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Great, my only transfer I made this GW was getting Lamptey in.

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah swapped him for Dalot. Inspired

  12. AARON-1
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Quite a few Free Hit teams around. More than I expected given the current uncertainty. I'm happy enough to have only 3 double GW players and to still have both Free Hits in hand. I'm convinced they will me more useful /effective further down the road. Let's see. Many Kane captainers and those bizarrely keen on Reguilon or Royal will be kicking themselves if/when that Arsenal fixture is pulled. They only brought it on themselves.

  13. Slitherene
    • 6 Years

    Is Marcal nailed?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Xhaka should be allowed to delay his suspension until Arsenal have more players available. Problem solved.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      This again? Well they would choose not to delay it, wouldn't they

    When do we expect Salah to be back?

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years

      Gw24 most likely.

      After the African Cup of Nations

  21. tommo1989
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve gone Coufal ahead of Reguilon as I expect the Arsenal game to be postponed. Is that crazy?

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

      No

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

      Only because Coufal isn't nailed afaik

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Wouldn’t you say Coufal is more nailed than Reguilon at the moment? I figured that if they both have one fixture each I’d prefer Coufal at home to Leeds than Reguilon away at Leicester?

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

          Well there are other players

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    Salah captained by 20 percent overall. Can believe I benched him.

    1. Zimo

    [2022-01-14] [MUN] Harry Maguire has transferred OUT their own teammate Ronaldo! > Lukaku)

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

    Maguire may have sold Ronaldo today but he also brought Firmino in for DCL on the 3rd of January so...

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

      Any photos of ronaldo in training today ?

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years

      DCL or Firmino are not his team mates though.

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

      Maguire also actively plays Maguire in his XI in FPL so...

  25. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Farcenal FC should just acknowledge they are going to lose 3-0 to Bottleham Hotspur and forfeit the match anyway. All 3 goals to be credited to King Harry.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      I don't get it

    2. Hazz

    Maguire didn’t transfer out Ronaldo. No-one’s convincing me that guy knows how to use a computer or even a mobile phone.

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

      Maybe he was trying to transfer him in

    Is the average hits in the top 10k per fpl live really 13.45? Or is it a bug? Seems extremely high

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Hackers destroyed a number of teams.

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

      Could be skewed by hack accounts

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

        10,000 accounts?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years

          Huh?

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

          One bloke above got hacked for 4000 hits. Thats increasing the average by 0.4 on its own

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

          10 accounts * 1000 transfers * -4 = -40000
          that's -4 on average in the top10k.

      2. Gandalf

        Ah that makes sense. That's awful.. hopefully they can reinstate affected accounts

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

      It could be that more than one account got hacked and made 1000 transfers. If you use simple passwords it's bound to happen.

    Although I have not captained Ronaldo and it will be great if he gets reduced minutes but people reacting because Maguire transferred him out! Come on guys, since when could a slab think?

    If Maguire did indeed transfer out Ronaldo and he plays both just shows his lack of footballing knowledge.
