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

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

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

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

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

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

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

  3. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is that Goal Goal Assist for Duffy last 3 matches?

    Hard to ignore.

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

      Goal,goal&assist, assist.Duffinho!!

  4. Darth_Krid
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well they did almost tie it in the end.

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

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

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who would have auto-subbed for Mendy?

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

        Cedric

    2. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Almost never worth -4 for a defender

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

        It was more of a -2 or -3

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

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

  6. Numb
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

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

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

    Wolves defender it is.

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

    Spurs so wasteful, knew Brighton would score. Fuming.

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

    Kane shooting again. Who's bringing him in?

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

      Very tempting. Look at those fixtures!

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

    Trippier to Duffy for an 4pt hit?

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

          1. Forza Papac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months 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
          7 years, 2 months 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
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If he didnt bring him in, no one cares.

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

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

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 2 months 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.

      • Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hey all, how we doing?

        Just back from an afternoon being dragged around the shops to find 49 points on the board with 4 or 5 potential bonus to come and 3 Chelski to play tomorrow.

        Just disappointments from Moura and Holebas really.

        1. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          After bonus and auto subs I'll be 59 with Alonso and Hazard to play. Should be a reasonable rank.

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          62 with Hazard, Alonso and Auba to go

      • A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Spurs conceding just cost me going to of my 100 man mini league for the first time in living memory. Have finished 2nd, 3rd, 5th but never sat top even for one day 🙁 🙁 🙁

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Kane - 3 (38)
        Rose - 2 (29)
        Lamela - 1 (25)
        ----
        Knockhaert (23)
        Trippier (21)

        Kane 9. Salah 8. Kun 6.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Not much of a difference and Kun would have bagged another goal or two had he not been subbed by Baldiola.

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

            F*** pep

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              My favourite manager but he's such a pain in the arse for FPL managers.

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

          Hardly anyone would have captained Kane though.

        Nice one Brighton 😀

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Sorry 500 not 5k, I’m now into top 500

      • balint84
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        next weak drop Agüero to Kane? Kane had more shots, and Kun has limited time. what do you think?

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

          Kane is shite.

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

          Nope. He will torn Brighton apart.

        3. ManofKent
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Two early for me

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

        Was a Trippier clean sheet and BAPs more damaging than 3 Kane BAPs?

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

          In top 100k yes.

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Kanes ownership must be low ranked

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

          Kane was getting 2 BAPs anyway, so yes.

        4. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If anyone is in the top 50k with Kane in the team then I have no problem letting them have 3 baps.

      • The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        43 points post baps with hazard, alonso, richarlison left

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

          Probably a small red

        3. OPTA FPL

          1. The Red Devil
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ah well, 73 with Hazard to come will have to do

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Very decent Bubz. Any hits?

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

            One, but who's counting

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

          Great score.

        3. Yoshioka
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          67 with Hazard, Alonso and Kepa left... I'll take it, I guess.

        Into the top 500 now according to FF Fix with Hazard & Alonso to play.

        I have never been within the top 10,000 before, can’t believe it!

            Thank you mate, my move this week was Mitrovic in. Next week I just need to sort Mendy out, perhaps to Trip

            Haha I wizzed from 115k to 5k last week so have never sat on 10k unfortunately

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

        I know Hart has really a bad run of form in the last couple of years, but fair play to him for putting in these performances for Burnley.

        Saves he is making now are ones he'd have conceded in recent years.

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

          had a bad run of form*

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

          Looking like this season's budget gem

        3. Dybala10
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Was always a confidence player and post Euro 2016 it's been very difficult. Was always a good shot shopper and had the capability of having super games. Burnley seems a perfect fit for him.

      • Hazardous1983
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Who to get rid of first.

        Salah walcott moura

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

          For whom?

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Probably Walcott, but Moura is done for me, getting Richarlison

        3. Foozeball
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Walcott easily

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

          Moura, Wally is nailed

      • Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        51 with Bellerin, Alonso and Hazard, Wan staying on bench to, really not great at all

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

          51 with 2 players left is okay.

            That's my situation 🙂

            DD5 has 3 left, but I guess Bellerin counts as 0 😉

        Thoughts on these moves:

        Mane & Wilson > Knockaert & Kane (-4)

        Will captain Kane.

        Bellerin will definitely start tomorrow?
