The eighth match on a busy Saturday of Premier League action sees Brighton and Hove Albion take on Tottenham Hotspur, with kick-off at the Amex at 17:30 BST.

Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to the side that lost to Liverpool in Gameweek 5, with Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) replacing the injured Michel Vorm (£4.9m) and the benched Harry Winks (£5.5m).

The club reported that Vorm sustained a knee injury in training on Friday.

That means Kieran Trippier (£6.0m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m), Danny Rose (£5.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.4m) have been recalled to the Spurs line-up after missing out (for various reasons) on a start in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Inter in midweek.

Dele Alli (£9.0m) is fit enough for a place on the visitors’ bench, meanwhile.

Brighton’s starting XI is unchanged from the team began the 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday night, with Pascal Gross (£6.8m) missing out with an ankle injury.

Florin Andone (£5.0m) is among the substitutes for the first time this season having built up his match fitness over the last fortnight.

Harry Kane (£12.4m), still owned by around one in four Fantasy Premier League managers, leads the line for the Lilywhites. The England striker is only averaging a chance every 44.8 minutes in away league matches this season.

Glenn Murray (£6.5m) had the best goal conversion rate of all Premier League strikers going into Gameweek 6, having scored with four of his nine shots.

No FPL midfielder has registered more assists than Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) this season.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Stephens, Bissouma, March, Propper, Knockaert; Murray

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Lucas, Son; Kane

    Anyone watch the Burnley/Bournemouth match? Interested in Vydra’s performance. Cardiff and Huddersfield in next two fixtures.

    Whats the ownership for Hazard in top10k?

    1. Bruce Lee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      89, but I wouldn't look too much into it right now. The top 10k changes a lot this early on.

      The high ownership is probably not because people transferred him in... it's because people probably had him before, then his points got them into the top10k

      If that makes sense?

      1. Fred54
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yep its high in the top 10K because the they got into the 10K off Hazard points.

        1. Bruce Lee
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That's a better way of putting it lol

    Cheer me up and give total for
    Arnie Hazard Fabianski and Alonso
    Looks like 45 with baps...

        PAAAAT!!!!

        1. Jafooli
          8 years, 1 month ago

          😀

  6. HurriKane
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson worth 1m over TAA ?

    TAA is only 6pts behind and is one corners and freekicks. Both seems to be nailed on

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That’s why l went TAA
      So far so good for me

    2. Squib
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am starting to think this mate. Have Robertson and assumed TAA would be in and out. So far not the case.

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I've had Robbo and TAA from the start. My reasoning for TAA was that at £5.0m he was good value being on corners and set pieces. Clyne hadn't done well pre-season and in any case was the same price so could have easily swapped if Klopp favoured him. Robbo is the poor man's Alonso. His form last season showed that.

        So far, so good. Helps having Mendy, Alonso and AWB to rotate with. The 3 who played today look like getting 21 points between them.

    3. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Need to switch to fund Alonso in a few weeks.

    4. Majestic Chanka
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking the double up actually, though difficult to do right now given next two fixtures

      1. FPL Pillars
        8 years, 1 month ago

        so wait two weeks...

    5. Mysterion
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Robbo and get TAA after the City game

    6. Piggs Boson
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Must admit, I thought TAA would be rotated with Clyne. Doesn't seem to be the case... yet.

      But I'm happy with Robertson. He'll be more secure when the schedule gets heavy imo.

    7. Pukki Party
      8 years, 1 month ago

      TAA from the start, looked bad after first few games.

  7. Hotdogs for Tea
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Average will be 60 this week 🙁

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Red arrow coming l feel

    2. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping for 70 pray4

    3. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      57+ Haz & Richy

    4. All de Gea no iDier
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hoped for 60. On 54 with possibly 6 BP and Alonso & Pedro still to play. Zilch on the bench. Anything over 60 will do me.

    5. caldracula
      8 years, 1 month ago

      60 seems a bit high or is this accurate?

  8. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Harry try and live up to that hefty price tag.

  9. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why the hell is Ings still red flagged. The game is over. Just so lazy from FPL again.

    Or is Wolves also his parent club?

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like he has few parents hehehe

    2. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gameweek hasn’t finished.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea

        His has

          This....normally removed when the KO whistle is blown....

          1. Eden Wizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Completely disagree. Richy wasn’t....

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Try the Norweigain FF ... red cards don’t even get added until Thursday 😉

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Or Allsvenskan where players mysteriously don't start at all, then find they were injured.

        1. Pukki Party
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This would be good actually

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He was conceived in the car park apparently.

    5. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why does this matter?

      1. Sterling Silva is better th…
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Red flags effect price change thresholds

  10. squ1rrel
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at Leicester's fixtures and his form, for 5.9 do you think Iheanacho could be a decent punt?

    1. FPL Pillars
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hello kneejerker, how is it living in last weeks points?

    2. Dyballer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If he is guaranteed a starting XI slot, then yes, but atm he is a massive rotation risk. Likely to average 45mins a game over the next few weeks so probs not

  11. fantasyxprt11
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Quick predictions on the game. Moura or Tripper to get more points?

    1. squ1rrel
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Moura

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tripier
      Moura subbed by Ali

    3. All de Gea no iDier
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More to the point Moura or Son when Alli is fully fit?

  12. FPLAdmiral
    8 years, 1 month ago

    On WC - well balanced squad or benching nightmare?

    Patricio, Ryan
    Trippier, Shaw, Alonso, AWB, Bennet
    Hazard, Mane, Maddison, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Vardy, Mitrovic

    1. OPTA FPL
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no Salah is big mistake, (C) hattrick and season over

    2. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I like it

  13. FlockofSeagulls

    2. Dyballer
