Potter tinkers again as Murray and Duffy benched for Brighton

Brighton manager Graham Potter continues to prove himself as unpredictable as far as tactics and team selections are concerned.

Once again, he has rolled out a completely different system to last time out as the Seagulls prepare for an away match at Newcastle.

Potter has lined up his troops in a 4-3-1-2 system lead by Neal Maupay (£6.0m) and budget midfielder Steven Alzate (£4.5m).

Unafraid of keeping his senior players on their toes, the manager has also put Glenn Murray (£5.8m) and Shane Duffy (£5.0m) on the bench.

That makes for a centre-back partnership of Lewis Dunk (£4.6m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m), while Dan Burn (£4.5m) retains his left-back berth of a week ago after playing in the middle for the first four matches of the season.

Meanwhile, Martín Montoya (£4.5m) has recovered from tonsilitis and reclaims his place at right-back and Aaron Mooy (£4.9m) gets his first start in midfield.

By contrast, Newcastle go with their tried and tested 5-3-2 formation, led by Joelinton (£5.9m) and Miguel Almirón (£5.9m).

However, there is unlikely to massive FPL interest in this Saturday evening game as the most popular player on show will be on the Brighton bench.

David Button (£4.0m) remains in 25% of teams and is also the most fashionable shot-stopper among managers inside the top 10,000 as well.

Dunk is the most popular playing asset, currently in 11% of teams, while no Newcastle player is owned by more than Isaac Hayden‘s (£4.5m) 6.5%.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Dummett, Lascelles, Schär, Manquillo; Atsu, Shelvey, Hayden; Almirón, Joelinton.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Montoya; Mooy, Stephens, Pröpper; Groß; Alzate, Maupay.

    Rico or Kelly?

      Kelly if he starts tomorrow

      In all seriousness, Rico's not a Premier League footballer. Not enough defensive instinct and aggression. Lovely left foot and more than suited to playing on the Iberia peninsula

    Earlier this week wild rover posted a made up quote about lund playing up front this week. Didn't read the replies and didn't find out it was fake until after seeing today's line ups

    Started Lund over cantwell and mount for that reason only. Jammy but thanks WR 🙂

    Going to end up with a solid game week, but these are points I lost on WC, if results hold. And we'll see how Jim does tomorrow. This game, I tell ya....

    Wood = 13
    Dunk = 9
    Ryan = 8

    1. Ser Davos

      You can easily be paralysed by indecision and overthinking. Always keep cool and keep playing till GW38

  15. MiLK2018

    Planned move after tomorrow, what do you think?

    Kane + Dendoncker + VVD -> Abraham + KDB + Soyunchu

    What does Mat Ryan have to do for an England call up?

    He’s levels above Pickford.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      He'd have to be English for starters....

        • 7 Years

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Be trending...Pickford does well and screws up in equal measure. So he's always popular.

    5. Nightcrawler
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      All English keepers from crap teams get hyped up and they fail in a bigger team

      Hart at Birmingham. Pickford at sunderland. Carson lol

      1. TallestJohn
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Hart won the league twice

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Still a crap keeper

    7. Jealous Viper
      • 6 Years

      Being English would be a helpful start

  20. EmreCan Hustle
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Average should be above 40 points with the big scores?
