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

    Rose should steal a bap or two off Tripps

      More than happy with 9 don’t worry

  3. Rainer

    Rose BAPs.

    danny ward nailed for cardiff?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think so. He's been banging the goals in so no reason for Warnock to drop him.

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

        he has scored just one

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

    Rose going to get the 3 baps off that assist.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Wait, Lucas Moura was playing?

  7. windowview
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2FTs

    Hennessey - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Wan B - Bennett
    Hazard - Salah - Moura - Fraser - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Zaha

    Mendy -> Doherty a good idea?

    I could also change up one of Moura or Fraser to Rich.

    Thoughts?

  8. Numb

    Own goal?

  9. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Chilwell and dilva to Richarlison and tripp 2FT seem worth it? Leaves 1m ITB

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Could backfire as dilva will play next week

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't sell either.

  10. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ryan has been a bit of a waste of space so far this season, hasn’t he. :/

    Holding tight, though, I know better than entering the cheapo-GK roulette...

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Decent run coming up

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        that's the only reason I am keeping him...

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Man City should be good

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I was in a problem, who to sell to get Richarlison, but after this game, it's definitely Lucas.
      Maddison is still getting points, while Lucas is simply a trash. It would give me 1.2 m to play with.
      Maybe even get Mendy back for Pereira if fit next week.

    4. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Kane does nothing but score a pen, I can hear the strains of ‘Southgate you’re the one’ as if it were yesterday!

      1. FPL Touches
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't make me cry.

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

          Seems a looong time ago

    5. Fpl Old Guard
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      if only Lamela was nailed, no doubting his quality if he can get that run in the team

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

        Even if he doesnt start, he can still score/ assist.

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

      Lamela has 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 sub appearances and he got the assist against Inter. Worth keeping an eye on.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        See above 🙂

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

          You are probably right

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

      Stupid Ryan!

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kick someone, Harry!

    9. beso
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsey to break the ice and do something or going straight out of my squad ?

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

      Dirty Lamela...

    11. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hart Hamer
      Alonso Robertson Mendy AWB Peltier
      Salah Mane Moura Fraser Neves
      Aguero Wilson Ings

      Mane + Moura >>> Hazard + Rich (-4)

      Sound good?

    12. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Strangely dull game.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Spurs have a habit of that this season. Something isn't right

    13. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Come on Brighton grab a late one

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    14. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who is the best captaincy option next week.Skeptical about aguero tbh with ucl midweek

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

        Kane vs hud for me.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The usual suspects.

      3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero

      4. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mitrovic.

      5. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Tricky. Probably Aguero, but decent chance to go for a differential. Tempted to captain Salah

      6. AC Me Rollin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        hazard

      7. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Mendy / Dilva obviously.

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

        Kane sot wow

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          On or off?

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

            On

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

            Kane 2nd sot

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

              Goal incoming

      9. windowview
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Need to get Mendy out of my team asap to beat the price fall, just wish I could wait til after the UCL games

        1. Podge
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          What price did you pay ?

        2. All de Gea no iDier
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Why? There are over 30 GW's left and he is likely to feature in most of them.

        3. Andy'81
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          They're playing in the league cup this midweek and not the UCL so you'd imagine that most teams will take the opportunity to rest a few players.

      10. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Kane has (hud CAR whu) in next 3.

        expect to see some monster hauls. beware non ownets.

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He's been shite again today tbh

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, but probably will score a few in those games an become an option again

          2. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            He looked better once Alli and Lamela came on.

        2. windowview
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I'm actually really tempted, just worried he'll get knackered out even more in UCL games

          1. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            he's a fit young lad ffs. enough of this tiredness excuse

        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ryan Save point... Get in....

        • 9 Years

        Hamer Hennessey

        Hazard Maddison Mane Richa Ramsey
        Kun Mitro Wilson

          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Mendy to someone then buy him back when Pep has taken him off the naughty step
