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

    Im so scared of my TC Lukaku not starting.. Would be very Mourinho to bench him in protest to make a point of it while Kane got another days rest.

          Do I keep all my players after a FH

          Do I have to keep all my players not on FH for start of next season?

          How much value can I gain from FH team?

            De Gea, Matic, Lukaku? Valencia?

  2. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 16 days ago

    So took KDB and D. Silva out
    And put Jesus and Sane in?
    What ye think? FH35 team

    Cech

    Baines Long Tompkins

    Salah Mane Sterling Sane

    Firminio Jesus Aubameyang

    Nordfeldt Milivojevic Zakho Kiko

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Well you can put KDB back in for a start

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        Was going to captain him actually now I have taken him out.
        Ok I agree.

      2. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        Would rather have Jesus, Sterling, and Sané personally.

  3. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 16 days ago

    Is it fair to say that all 3 of Salah, Mané and Firmino should start on saturday?
    If Klopp were to rotate any of them do you think it would be for protection against any unfortunious injury?
    Personally I see all three starting and managing their minutes as the match progresses. Any thoughts?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Yes.

      I'd guess they either get 60 minutes, or come in at the 60th.

            • 16 Years

            Thanks, looking at Kiko Feminia too. Poor teams really aside from Lpool and City

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Looks good defence is a bit different not many are giving it even that much cash.
      I think Ars surely have a good CS shout but not many here agree.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        Thing is im pretty happy with the mid and forwards so cash to spend on defence,

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 16 days ago

          Not saying it's bad - just different - which is actually good 🙂

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 16 Years

            cheers for input mate!

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Apart from Long any other 4.0 defender with even an outside chance of minutes in 35?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Dummett is probably the cheapest you can get

      1. Albrightondknight

  7. I Member

    No FH left.

    Sanchez, Alli & Willian -> Salah, Sterling & Sane (-4) sound good? Have exact money for that, no Liverpool or City in my team.

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      guess you have to really

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      i would yes

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Nice, no brainer if Salah is starting

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Yes!

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Who wins:

    A. Vardy, Azpil & 3pts

    B. Mahrez, Willian, Lowton, Wilson & Alonso*

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 16 days ago

          Decent start to 2nd round, 22 from last night game. Tonight game is more important with Luka TC 😮

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

      I win, sweaty offie open soon... race?

    3. WE GO FOR IT

      I hope Mahrez sees B to victory.

    Which 3 man. city players should I have in 35 gw with the FH?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      I'd definitely have Jesus and Sterling. Take your pick for the last spot. Pretty much all of the mids and defenders could do well.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Sterling, KdB and Sane for me

      1. mitsubachi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        No Kompany? As captain he should be safe to start in their title celebrations?

    im also tempted to go to de bruyne and a cheaper striker instead of the first option but i think zaha is better than any striker i can pair with de bruyne

    1. I Member

      Jesus and Zaha sounds good to me.

                ah. Wouldn't end up mattering; rival has the points and some other stroke of fortune will come his way to avoid trouble next time, always does.

      Ferking this. Can't catch a break. Atleast if gross would have got a goal from open play would have been fine but from the pen means I can't catch my jammy rival. Simple as. Similar to u.Fuming

    1. Zaha or Shaqiri or Arnautovic?

    2. Welbeck or Tosun?

    1. Holmes

      Zaha, Welbeck

  14. Delhidynamo

    Anybody else keeping their triple Burnley D for FH35?

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years

        El Diouf's goal threat

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years

      I am. And starting all 3

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        Can't wait to have a (s)crappy Rodney goal to ruin CS

    2. Clive The Ram
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Big risk, for me.

      Stoke need a win and have been very resilient of late. Can see them getting the three points, if I’m honest.

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        The adrenaline rush of watching the match with 3 CS and Burnley sitting back is something else tho..

        1. Wild Card this!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 16 days ago

          Adrenaline rush will be replaced with anger after 25 minutes or so 😉

  15. FPLAdmiral
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 16 days ago

    Thoughts on Son and Willian till the end of the season?

    Both big rotation risks? Either likely to play both in the DGW? Need to decide which one to drop to afford to get Kane back!

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Son is the better option even if he starts one.

    2. mitsubachi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      I prefer Willian if Giroud is playing. Have lost count of the number of times Willian passed to Morata and for him to miss or score and flagged offside

  16. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 16 days ago

    Will Alonso escape the ban? Or surely he will miss Burnley game?

    1. Clive The Ram
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      I hope he avoids a ban...desperately.

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      How often do they escape the ban? 😉

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        50/50

    3. mitsubachi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      He’s banned

  17. Clive The Ram
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 16 days ago

    FH Team for your consideration...

    Butland
    Mustafi / Robertson / Van Dijk
    Salah (c) / Zaha / Sane / Sterling
    Aubameyang / Jesus / Wood
    Subs - Hennessey / Baines / Milivojevic / Lowton

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      Jesus and Wood don't have a sterling relationship

      1. Clive The Ram
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        It was worth getting up earlier just for that.

      2. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years

        Jesus nailed?

    2. Clive The Ram

      Pogba for me. Blanked on Saturday

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 16 days ago

        Sorry mate Pogba and Sanchez wont play i reckon. Atleast Lingard and lukaku will play

        1. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 16 days ago

          Based on what?lingard will be lucky to even be on the bench imo

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 16 days ago

            Mourinho publically has slated Pogba and Sanchez. Whats more clear than that?

          2. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 16 days ago

            Lingard may well start. Pogba is more or less certain to be on the bench. Sanchez 50-50 imo.

            1. mitsubachi
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 16 days ago

              I hope Sanchez plays. He’s my captain and needs to match Kane’s goal. Haha

    Risky to have a 3.9 keeper if starting Pope?

      Yup. U never know if they go with Heaton

    Pep Guardiola is looking to give teenagers Phil Foden and Brahim Díaz experience in the remaining five games, and plans for them to play a bigger role next season. [Express]

    Who's likely to miss out while Pep statpads the youth minutes played?

    At 76 points this week with FH and TC left.....would you still use FH for blank week or save it for 38 when lineups are shambles and use TC in week 37.

    This means taking a hit in week 35 to get to 9 players.

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years

      Use it in GW35.

    2. mitsubachi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 16 days ago

      I’d rather use it in 35 if u have difficulty fielding 11.

      If you didn’t have triple captain left, it could have been worth considering.

        Ignore me, misread post and thought you meant using it in gw37!

    Morning DZ. Rate my FH team please

    Pope

    Auba, Jesus

    (3.9, Mariappa, Long, Niasse)

      Very nice team. Just 2 ?
      Some people unsure on Pope wit Heaton nearly fit.
      Listened to Scoutcast and some unsure on TAA start, guess Long there to cover that.

        Doubt Pope will be dropped if they keep winning (safe for this week at least imo)

    Everybody is saying about Liverpool's leaked lineups.
    When can we expect to get leaked lineups info about Liverpool team?
    .
    Anybody has any idea?

          I've gone with a NEW defender as they have a couple of good fixtures and a DGW in 37.
