Brighton v Chelsea team news: Lamptey + Mount return, Trossard + Maupay subs

Double Gameweek 22 continues at the Amex Stadium this evening, with Brighton and Hove Albion hosting Chelsea at 20:00 GMT.

Tariq Lamptey was only a substitute at the weekend because of a minor groin issue but is fit enough to start against his former club.

Steven Alzate and Danny Welbeck also come into the starting XI, with Adam Lallana, Leandro Trossard and Neal Maupay dropping out. The latter two, however, are substitutes.

Elsewhere, Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy remain out.

As for Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel makes three changes from the 1-0 loss at Manchester City, with Jorginho, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi replacing Malang Sarr, Mateo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic, all of whom drop to the bench.

Andreas Christensen, who has Covid, misses out, as well as Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell and Reece James.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Webster, Burn, Cucurella, Alzate, Gross, Lamptey, Moder, Mac Allister, Welbeck

    Feels like Chelsea spent the last month playing just Brighton and Spurs

  2. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Mount and Lamptey to give me seeing off presents please

    1. Thanos

      More like a sending off 😛

    2. Oneman

      Feel like Mounts have about 3 touches so far!

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

        Sounds like my luck

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Not another one. You've not been influenced by Supersaints imaginery bad luck shite surely ?

      Lamptey is tidy. Can't see them scoring tho Chelsea are so solid

  3. Free Hat

    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea are a terrible watch.
    Really lacking any attacking intent or ideas.

    Why the hell did I buy lamptey

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He runs fast, it's like watching Sonic the hedgehog try to get you points

    2. Sim Simma

      Lamptey close to a 1v1 chance from the half-way line 🙂

      Brighton cannot create anything...TROSSARD IN

      Remember when lukaku scared opponents?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        When he played for WestBrom . Last day of the season hattie

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

        Remember when Lukaku, Ronaldo and Salah were all essential

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          No. None have all been essential

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

            Look at the comments on here back near the beginning of the season!
            You’d do well to find a draft (apart from mine) that didn’t have all 3

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Saw very few with all 3 tbh.

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

                I think a lot liked it because it eliminated many options elsewhere, the holy trinity they said - soon disbanded with a drop in form for 2 of them

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

        The Belgian Leo Fortune West

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

      Owning Sanchez or any Brighton defenders is just painful.

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

      Lamptey basically playing as a striker at this point haha

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        has Mount touched the ball!!!

    7. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Speedy Gonzalez at it again

    8. HD7
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I knew I had to buy Ziyech and Harrison:))

    9. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      CHO just hit the MIR space station

    10. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Can anybody tell me if they saw Mount touch the ball in 45mins?

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

        Touched it more than Trossard did for my team no doubt!

        1. Denis Tueart on the wing
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Not in play

            1. Denis Tueart on the wing
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

        He's just enjoying his evening jog

      3. maglia rosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Half a dozen touches maybe, nothing very threatening but closeish to a through ball and a simple pass from CHO from a tap in. Che attacks mostly down right so Mount has fiound it difficult to get into the game tbf.

        1. Denis Tueart on the wing
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Veltman and Lamptey are so much better than Alonso and Mount in this game.

          1. maglia rosa
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            True enough

    11. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku is a right old whinger. I don't get the impression that he does a lot for team harmony.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You don't get the impression or you do get the impression ?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I don't get the impression. That's what I said in my original post, isn't it?

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Misread . Whoops.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Doesn't, "I don't get the impression"

            1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Use of negatives and positives mixed around. It makes sense

        3. Rains of Castamere
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          This is why united got rid. Huge ego. Always whinging about service and when he does get it his link up play is as if he's wearing Doc Martens

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

            Dunno why I read this as Dries Mertens

            1. Rains of Castamere
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Belgian connection

            Yeah, they hate players with egos at utd.

            1. Rains of Castamere
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              It's still a huge issue at the club

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

        Any word on probability of this wknd being a dgw again!? Seems like we are running out of days quickly and may now be unlikely?

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

          No reason it has to be announced before deadline.

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

            May be worth rolling the dice on a Raph or Digne in case, given fixtures aren't too bad even if just a single.

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

            In which case, I doubt FPL can consider it part of GW23. They have to move the deadline for GW24 forward. You can't add matches after a game week has started. Not the same thing as matches being postponed after the deadline.

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

              This. it would be crazy if that ever happened!

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

          I'd say they'll wait until this weeks' games are finished before announcing anything if they will be announcing anything. Probably Thursday

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

            Yes might be a late panic again!

      3. Thanos

        Ziyech's expression after scoring the goal more like shi* I didn't take myself in my FPL team and had the TC on Sanchez 😆

        1. Gunners in Haaland

          He was crying after scoring...defo Sanchez & Lamptey double-up

        3. maglia rosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Feel his reaction was down to how awful he'd been up that ppint in the game tbh.

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

        Remember the hype of Werner Ziyech Pulisic Havertz?

        1. Rains of Castamere
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Tbf I think Mount Havertz Werner is Chelsea's best front 3

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          There was never hype.

      5. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years

        OMG Comoros just knocked out Ghana.

        Partey & Ayew back in PL soon

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, Ghana 10 men for a large part … Ayew sent off.

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

            Just need Egypt to qualify. Don’t want Salah back anytime soon

          Comoros feel the noize

        Is coutinho essential?

        1. Gunners in Haaland
          • 4 Years

          Nope. I am

          Not even close

        3. George Sillett
          • 8 Years

          Listen to Bubz. He is 9th in the FFS HOF. Bien down to the superior being.

          1. George Sillett

        4. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Salah/Cancelo/Trent are essential I would say…

        5. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          My definition of essential is someone already very highly owned and very likely to get fpl points. So def not the case for coutinho - not even fully nailed yet

        FUL is just an attacking machine. Unstoppable cottagers!!

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

          Championship goal record is 30 (Toney).

          Mitrovic is on 27 with sixteen games to go...

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

            If I was to put him in my fantasy team right now, he’s finish the season with 27

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

              *he’d

          2. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Has been incredible, tonight they're 4-1 up and he's blanking...they're on 68 goals in 26 matches, 2nd best attack has 44...

        2. NorCal Villan
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Good timing- I have been meaning to ask if there is anything more to Mitrovic’s performance this season than simply the difference between PL & Championship. I don’t have his stats from last year in front of me, but as I remember it he was pretty awful. And now he’s got 27 goals in 27 games (does this meet the legal criteria for “pulling up trees” status?). What say y’all?

      9. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Why are Burnley defenders so expensive they should be around the 3.9 mark…

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

          Probably because they have about 10 games in hand lol

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

            Next season They'll be playing Championship fixtures on Saturday's and catching up with their PL games in hand during midweek.

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

              LOL!

        2. Rochdale_Cowboy
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          They usually stick 12 men behind the ball and hope for a 0-0

        3. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Pope at 5.4m is pretty crazy

      10. threeputt
        • 14 Years

        Is Mount even playing ?

        Least it’s looking like a CS for Chelsea here for FHers

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

          Or not.

        If Ronaldo is fit you'd expect a roaring game from him. Given what's gone on.

        A goal or two or maybe even an assist.

        Only hesitation is that Brentford are better at home.

        Oh, and Manchester United are a shocking side to have faith in! Could go either way.

        But Ronaldo leading the way and Bruno in support role seems most likely?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Expect nothing, don't get disappointed.

        Chelsea attack seems like a complete no go, barely mustered an attack here and scored a fluke goal from a keeper mistake

          I'm a Chelsea fan and haven't had a Chelsea midfielder/forward all season. Nothing new 🙂

        Alonso teetering on a YC. One more foul from him probably...

            Such an idiot, someone's covering almost every time he doesn't even know when to "take one for the team"

          I saw that Alonso YC about 5 seconds before it happened.

            Pointless foul as there was another CHE player covering. Soooo frustrating.
