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

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not time to wildcard but your midfield is shocking and needs a couple transfers. Rest looks fine

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Upgrade Mane to hazard.. Play 5-2-3 with Salah and Hazard in midfield... Fraser as first sub incase Mendy doesn’t play next week.

    1. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Currently looking at Trippier to fix a defensive issue or Wolves, who really do look over the next four.

  14. Kellz86

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Why didnt Trippier play vs Inter? Has Pott made up his mind that Arurier for Europe and Trippier for PL?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt he plays Aurier against Barcelona?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This could be likely yes. That’s what aurier was signed for initially

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

  19. La Roja
    • 13 Years

  20. GianniBanani

  21. AC Me Rollin
    • 7 Years

    If Messi played for Brighton. Tottenham would be losing

    1. The Mastermind
      • 8 Years

      If my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bike

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed.

  22. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Trippier really getting found out defensively here.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Usually does. Best used in games where they need goals and not vs the likes of Barca. Nailed on for next two prem games

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Gazzaniga with great attitude there

  24. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Useless Knockaert

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Blimey. Brighton should have scored there.

  26. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Shocking miss.

  27. Rust Cohle

    2 FT and 0 ITB. What to do?

    I’ve had Mendy since the start so I’m not eager to dump him. Considering changing out Wilson a few weeks early. Any better forwards @ < 6.2 or just sit tight? Liked the look of Vydra in the Wolves match (even though Burnley looked terrible) but haven’t seen him in today’s match. Any insights? Thinking he could be a good two week punt with Cardiff and Huddersfield on the fixture list.

    Agüero/Mitro/Wilson

    Salah/Hazard/Maddison/Pereyra/Billing

    Alonso/Robertson/Mendy/Doherty/AWB

    Ryan/Button

    1. Mic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Id do mendy and wilson to Laca and someone. You have a strong bench

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Such stubborness wont give you good finish. Probably wouldnt ever have had top10k finish. Even I had Mendy since gw1 but removed for Trippier after knowing he is out for more than this gw and good money to get another wingback. You are a member just use rmt tool to check highest scorer in next 4 among the choices

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for your sunny disposition.

  28. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone do Mendy > Smalling instead of Trippier.

    Feels bad mayne

  29. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Moura off, Son off. Poch just doing random subs now.

    1. Mic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lmao Moura was a crap pick anyway

    2. The Mastermind
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why is everyone saying Moura is off? He’s clearly still on

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Moura off?

    4. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Oops, apparently Moura not off. Was going by what was posted here (silly me.)

      Did think these were strange subs!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago
