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

    Why Alli not even om bench?

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

      Probably rested for semi final

  3. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Don't know why I get excited at the prospect of using chips. Don't add up to a hill of beans.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      FH is the best by far

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

        Wish I knew this before I wasted it chasing in gw10 lol

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          haha same. Blew mine sometime before Christmas

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    I’d take a 0-0 here tbh, Ryan and Dunk CS would make up for Eriksen and Kane blanks

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

      Same. And Lloris cleanie

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Solanke on FH? Crazy?

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

      yes

  6. Flying Finns
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Worst DGW I can remember in 10 years, BB with 15 DGW players and will struggle to get 50 points, last year over 150 in corresponding DGW

    1. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Great

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

      It’s onky half time 🙂

      1. Flying Finns
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        No double for Alonso & Ali not helping

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

          Should have boosted in 37 like last year 😉

  7. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Even with Son, I'd take a 0-0 in this game (have Ryan and Vertonghen).

  8. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Sorry, bone question I know, but you can make a transfer before activating your FH for gw35, right?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Yes but it will be cancelled when you play fh

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Ah ok thanks

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

      Yes but it is only there for FH team then, not normal team

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

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    5. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Nope

    6. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Thanks all, best just activate FH and get on with it then

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

    Get Kane off, doesn't look fit.

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    NBC saying they'd take Kane off at half time!

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

      Is that the American tv station ? 😉

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        They did this while competing in a hot dog competition

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

        Yes. Well, it's their panelists saying it to be fair.

        Note: Thank god NBC don't make the actual footballing decisions.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I would, Son up top

    3. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Americans

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Good job Spurs aren't managed by a US TV corporation

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

        Agreed, although they are having their new stadium part-funded by the NFL.

    5. _Make
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I'd keep him on for the corner balls and the PKs

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

        I hear he's a good striker of the ball

        1. _Make

  11. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Brighton: Ryan and Duffy
    Spurs: Harry, Son and Eriksen

    No Captain picks.

    What's my ideal scoreline?

    1. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      0-0 or a big win to Spurs.

      1. PL Ball
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Yup. This makes the most sense i guess.

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

      1.4 with Ryan pen save Duffy goal would be decent for you

      1. PL Ball
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        These types of scorelines never come to fruition though lol 🙁

    3. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      0-10

      Son Eriksen 5 goals 5 assists each

    4. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      0-0, or a few goals and assists from your Spurs players

  12. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Seriously tempted with Kane to Jesus next week and follow it up with shaqiri to sterling the week after!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Barnes to Jesus for me

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Could do wood to Jesus but need to find money somewhere else as I'd have a front line of Kane, auba and Jesus!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          lord almighty, that would be good! looking at Vardy Jesus Auba myself

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            Guess i could do hazard to mili for 35 as well.

  13. Football Rambler
    • 8 Years

    DGW backers who were hoping for a swing, I’m sorry to say it but we have backed the wrong side.

    This was my roll of the dice, don’t think it was the wrong decision as it was the one that gave the most upside, however so far this DGW has delivered no upside at all.

    Think my season is done

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

    I'd happily take a son blank as long as Kane blanks also

    1. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Would one Kane goal be so bad, even for non-captainers?

  15. Numb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    TC Andy Carroll it is then.

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

      Kane might be actually worth captaining in DGW37 if he's fully fit, no?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah just kidding

  16. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    What channel do you all watch on?

    I’m in the uk but like beIn Sports

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Sky

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Is that available in the UK?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah. I have all the channels

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Wow, I thought Sky and BT had the duopoly in the UK

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            They do

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Illegally.

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            That’s false. Nothing illegal thank you

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 17 days ago

              Just not quite above board...

              1. Ginkapo FPL
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 17 days ago

                If you arent aware, using VPNs to use services from other countries is illegal

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

    Rage transferring Jesus in for Kane in 35 🙂

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Lol I'm thinking the same

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

        WCing Kane back in for 36 🙂

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      already did it 🙂

  18. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    So many players so little points.

  19. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Can someone please exlpain to me how sissoko is on the same bps as Lloris I'm baffled

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      For the banter

  20. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane (c), Alli, Son, Alonso etc. Need I go on?

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Bailly of course.

    2. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      go on

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      not every player can haul every week

  21. alifzuhdi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Ibe to Gundogon? Afraid he won’t be playing once fernandinho returns

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Seems a strange move then

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

      We're all out of crab salad. I'm afraid.

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

        Yeah I wouldn't do it, personally

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    so no Kun, Sane Sterling Jesus. 2 must start every game right?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah I'd say so

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Probably but no guarantee. Pep can play the under 7s if he wants.

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

    Which midfielder aside from Salah is best for GW 35, 36 and 38? Will be playing FH so 37 is irrelevant. I'm thinking Sterling but am worried about rotation risk.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Sterling

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

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

      I'm going with Sterling, Zaha, Salah and Mane, will obviously change if we see the pool lineups early and it turns out some are rested.

  24. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Rumour is Chelsea will appeal Alonso. Apparently it won’t extend the ban.. that last part sounds wrong to me though ?

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

      If they appeal and the ban is upheld its very likely it'll be extended.

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        That’s what I thought ! Oh well they surely won’t then and the rumour must be a lie

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

      so this rumour, do you have a source? (excited owner)

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Iirc last player to appeal and fail it remained a 3 match ban.

    4. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      It's not wrong. You can't get your ban extended by appealing, and you can't play the next game if you appeal. Everything gets decided before the next game.

  25. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Regret doing Aubameyang to Kane

  26. Un De Sceaux
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane can't score in August or Double Gameweeks.
