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

  6. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier should have had a 12 pointer.

    1. Epic Fail
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why should he?

    2. JD @JDCochran2
      8 years, 1 month ago

      won't have a clean sheet with Danny Rose bombing down the flank and not defending in the last 10 minutes. Shocking...even after Poch said to stay back

  7. ZeBestee
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people cheering? Anyone owning Knockeart?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cleanie gone

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think Spurs lost their CS.

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

      Spurs cleanie gone.

    4. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably because Trippier didn't get his clean sheet points?

    5. Champione
      8 years, 1 month ago

      only good for Knockaert cappers because of EO

    6. ZeBestee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's lame then.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, reeks of desperation

    7. S.Kuqi
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just a bunch of losers cheering for Spurs cs gone

      1. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

  8. fedolefan

    Thank you Brighton, you lovely Seagulls.

  9. Zladan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who are the highest priority players to bring in?

    1. BIind Moth
      8 years, 1 month ago

      - Richarlison
      - Groß
      - Vardy

      Those are the boyos I'm interested in.

      1. Darth_Krid
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wait until tomorrow, but Vardy looks good.

      2. Kellz86
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm eyeing a Mane/Wilson to Vardy/Rich 2 FT for next week.

      3. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I have Vardy and Richarlison is definitely on my agenda. Will keep tabs on Gross - maybe after City inplace of a non-performing Richarlison.

      4. +
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I started the season with Groß but I'm not sure how you could possibly fancy him now

        1. BIind Moth
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mainly because of fixtures but I've only just noticed his minutes played this season. What's up with that?

          1. +
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Injured today but I think he gets rotated mostly for tactical reasons

  10. Greenbackbøøg…
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can I just ask, what the hell could Kane have done to warrant 38 bonus??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Shots on goal.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What a fraud

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

      coz shots straight at the gk is deemed a shot on goal.

  11. Patch
    8 years, 1 month ago

    In your sweet little leprechaun face Trippier

    You like dat baby

  12. Touré De Force
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Duffy assist. Just lol.

  13. Respect My Authoritah
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Another Duffy return. Move over Alonso

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane will have to take responsibility for that miss and the lost CS.

    1. Brosstan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rose's fault. Missing his man and then joke recovery attempt.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Rose has been poor all of second half. Lucky assist.

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

    Knockaert (5.5m) looking interesting for the upcoming fixture run.

    1. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely. A midfield with Fraser and Knockaert leaves so much cash to splash elsewhere. Add Jiminez up top...

  16. Stupendous
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is that Goal Goal Assist for Duffy last 3 matches?

    Hard to ignore.

    1. Aftermath
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Goal,goal&assist, assist.Duffinho!!

  17. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    IDEAL

  18. Sponge-worthy
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did Kane just snub Lamela?

  19. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan is a beautiful man. Denies three Kane goals and helps shatter the Spurs CS.

  20. Darth_Krid
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I think pointless consolation goals in injury time are the single most frustrating thing in FF!

    1. Sponge-worthy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well they did almost tie it in the end.

  21. tafrère
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why so many haters of Trippier lol ?

    1. Epic Fail
      8 years, 1 month ago

      'cause I was going to bring him in, but went with Walker instead, so didn't want him to score more than the option I went for.

      1. The Mastermind
        8 years, 1 month ago

        100%

      2. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sort of for me... although I went Pereira. I didn't even think I was being clever. I just don't trust Poch, and Pereira is so attacking.

    2. Sánchez
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salty non owners

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      His face annoys me and the fact he has a french sounding name

      1. tafrère
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm french, how am I supposed to take that ?

  22. Bubz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus the hit for Mendy to Trippier looked incredible, turns out I made a net loss of a point

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Who would have auto-subbed for Mendy?

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cedric

    2. Touré De Force
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Almost never worth -4 for a defender

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It was more of a -2 or -3

    3. Dele
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This... I’ve got AWB sat on my bench also.

  23. Numb
    8 years, 1 month ago

    No more than a consolation goal anyway, no need for this fuss.

  24. WDT
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane you believe it!? Brighton Rose from the dead and Spurs Trippier’d up in the dying minutes. Get in my Son. What a Dier indictment on their defensive capabilities. They will need Moura composure next time out and shouldn’t Dele-berate over making changes. Vertonghen.

    1. fedolefan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well done lad.

    2. Yoshioka
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You left out the keeper...

      1. Vinyl78LP
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Alli-lujah

      2. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Couldn't vorm that one into his sentence.

  25. Am sorry to say again it�…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thank f**K for that Brighton goal. That Trippier assist was BS!

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

      How was it BS? He earned the penalty via a handball off of his free kick?

  26. Drexl Spivey
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves defender it is.

  27. Dele
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs so wasteful, knew Brighton would score. Fuming.

  28. Champione
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane shooting again. Who's bringing him in?

    1. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very tempting. Look at those fixtures!

  29. Yoshioka
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier to Duffy for an 4pt hit?

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    He gets a lot of stick on here but Jay Eggeresdork tipped Knockeart this week

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

      Unintentionally top of the last two pages lol. Is that a first?

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Scored from a late late counter and TBH it could have been anyone. Nothing maverick about his 'tip'.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I count maybe 3 players in the wide who would've scored that. It was a good tip

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

        Bit harsh imo but I understand where you're coming from. Would you be saying the same if your 5.5 pick scored against a top 6 side?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't get anywhere near Knockeart no matter how punty I'm feeling tbh

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

            Fixtures are excellent after City next week. If he was 0.5 cheaper I'd be seriously considering getting him in.

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

          Think people are being a bit harsh on you. Knockaert also had a couple of other good chances, including one GREAT chance he should have buried. Definitely an interesting pick for the upcoming fixture run.

          I/'d not have brought him in for Tottenham/City, though!

    3. Brosstan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If he didnt bring him in, no one cares.

    4. MTPockets
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's ok and sensible advice. Just find the whole patreon £ for fpl advice thing quite unfortunate.

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

        If people are willing to pay for his advice what's the problem?

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That there's a marketing and expert-hype circle between this site (once just a place to chat about fpl and stats) - fpl, his and others.
