The first of four remaining Double Gameweek 34 fixtures gets underway at 7.45pm as Brighton welcome Spurs to the Amex Stadium.

After a hugely underwhelming start to his pair of fixtures in Saturday’s home loss to Man City, Harry Kane has the chance to atone against a Seagulls’ defence without a clean sheet in their last 12 attempts.

The Spurs striker was second only to Mohamed Salah by the narrowest of margins (18.28% vs 18.32%) for the armband, while over 71,000+ have played their Triple Captain chip as he looks to chase down the Liverpool winger in the race for the Golden Boot.

Kane starts this evening along with Christian Eriksen, while Son Heung-min returns to the teamsheet after featuring off the bench at the weekend.

Boasting a 17% ownership, the South Korean has four goals and an assist in his last four league starts. Along with another of tonight’s starters, Serge Aurier, he was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win at Wembley when the two sides last met in Gameweek 17.

But Dele Alli owners are left with just a two-point haul from Double Gameweek 34, as the midfielder is left out altogether ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Man United.

Lucas Moura earns a rare start for the visitors out wide, as does Toby Alderweireld in defence, with Davinson Sanchez the man to make way.

They’ll look to rein in the Seagulls’ Glenn Murray, who was on the scoresheet in Saturday’s loss at Crystal Palace.

The veteran is in fine form in front of his own fans, firing five goals in his last six starts at the Amex Stadium.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      VDV? He was a great FPL player in his day, when Arry Facking Redknapp was the gaffer

  3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Knockaert is going to burst his hamstrings with that running style

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years

    3. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Peaking a little early, aren't we??

  5. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years

    Kane looks like a ghost. I am actually thinking of getting rid of Kane instead of Lukaku for Jesus.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Wooooow really?

    2. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Lukaku is even worse tho. Complete donkey.

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Haha Kane have not done anything since he came back. Lukaku have atleast had some chances

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Madness

  6. Differentiator

    Not too long until Kane goal now surely 🙂

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Needs to touch the ball first

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Is he playing?

    4. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      More likely Murray or knockaert imo

  7. Sheeno
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Need a midfielder to bring in for the rest of the season, but I'm playing my free hit for GW37 so their fixtures then are irrelevant. I'm thinking either Sterling (or Silva/Sane), Mané (already got Salah) or Zaha. Maybe leaning towards Sterling but am worried of either rotation or City taking their foot off the pedal now they've won the title. What do you reckon?

    1. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      It's all about rotation from here on in

    These DGWs were where we were meant to pull away from the casuals...

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Casuals in my leagues having a blinder this DGW. Majority have 5 DGW players at most.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I am, pulling downwards

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Still 48% of it to go buddy

      1. LÖrKingMuch

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Casuals didn’t get the WC32 template ... think it is them pulling away 😉

  9. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years

    4. Nascimento
      • 10 Years

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I’d switch off and watch master chef or something if i were in your position....

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      And Kammy walk in holding a fat ass bong, ‘Did someone say Bong, Geoff? Unbelievable!!’

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Bong looking dangerous!

    1. Old Man

  17. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    To think I was 3 points out of hitting double ton last year in a DGW. Now I`m 3 points out of hitting 40.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Hate gloaters. On 26 here with 11 DGW players.

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        🙁

  18. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Awfully frustrating, Kane should be tearing these a new one

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Spurs just not creating chances. If he gets one he'll take it but it's looking a big IF at the moment.

  19. The Rock
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Another Kane blank incoming? Not been involved too much!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Still a long long way to go !

      1. The Rock
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        We're 4/6th into the GW. There's also high chance Kane gets subbed early in this game for the semi final on sat..

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Looks very rusty

  20. OldBenKenobi

    P*ss of Murray! Don’t you dare

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Off* my goodness my phone is taking the pies tonight

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        I give up.... 😆

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 9 Years

          Come on you had a great chance to follow through again there

        2. LÖrKingMuch
          • 15 Years

          Mmmh pies 😉

      2. TheTinman

          Hehe, very twin peaks 😉

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane literally hasn’t touched the goddamn ball in 28 mins wtf

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Literally ?

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Going for the record. Actually, I wonder if any player in history has failed to touch the ball in 90 minutes ..... must have happened at some time?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Some goalie

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Think lukaku had like 3 touches vs liverpool at anfield

  22. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years

    Three season wonder ?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Good idea. That'll get him scoring

  23. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    That Hot Topic on Brighton-Tottenham ownership was a let down. I was expecting some statistics but all we got was "I hope my players score lots of points"..."I hope all your players burn in hellfire but mine get points"

    That thread should be whited (greyed)

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Same actually the title was misleading

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      Agreed

    3. TorresMagic™

      Got a different title now.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      One of the worst hot topics I've seen. All it accomplished was bring out all the 12 year olds from hiding

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Kane priced 5.0 next season?

  27. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    The problem with me, is I disproportionately captain Harry Kane

    I basically just track how he does, and recently he's done absolute naff

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      It's like buying BP shares to track the price of oil.....

  29. diesel001
