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

    David Silva, knew he would be rested. Pep said he would have his "minutes managed" and perfect time is at Cardiff as they're awful.

      Are you too talking about that stupid article from April?

  4. ZakAFC_

    Consider Wildcarding this or try and get Hazard in?

    Foster
    Robertson, Alonso, AWB
    Salah, D Silva, Maddison, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

    Fabianski, Pedro*, Mendy*, Bednarek

    1FT, 0.2 ITB

    1. MTPockets

      Don't think Hazard's too important this week tbh (I have him)

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years

      personally i wouldnt WC that team. if you really really want Hazard then maybe just straight swap Salah.

      Gundogan and AWB from the bench aswell.

        Think so. Plenty of double dribbling from Kane.

    WanB saving game weeks again! What a 4.0 hero

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

      Best 4.0m since Vorm?

      1. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I’ve been playing for over 10 years and can’t remember a better 4.0

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Can you remember how much Bale started at?

          1. n-doggg
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Didn’t score like WanB has been!

            1. Epic Fail
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              You can't remember his price? Tis a genuine question. Might have been 4.5 though.

              1. n-doggg
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                First season in he probably was a 4.5 as a spurs defender I would have thought

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      What chance of Southgate giving him a call up for next internationals?

      1. Dyballer
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Probably quite low. Unless Trippier or Alexander-Arnold get injured, he’ll have a tough time getting in.

  10. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How are Spurs looking?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      mediocre like the rest of the season.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Is Kane still carrying the remnants of his injury?

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          No idea why they don't just rest him for 2-3 weeks. Surely him out completely for 2-3 weeks is better than him playing a mediocre game every week?!

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Dunno. Ok but not convincing yet.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Going to wildcard over the international break and I am debating whether to bring in players from Spurs or not. They aren't doing the business though! Maybe Moura.....

  11. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    5 points from DDG is good, I guess I will keep him with these fixtures and I dont need money to upgrade another player

  12. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is there a site that will predict your OR increase/decrease?

    1. Sharkytect

      Fantasy football fix.gets it wrong, though

  13. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy to Doherty
    Mané to Hazard?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I did Mendy -> Doherty this week to afford that move

      1. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Will see how this week goes first, can’t wait to see Hazard’s name in my team though

  14. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Worth a -4 guys ?

    Salah/Westwood >>>>> Hazard/Richarlison

    Current front is; salah / mane / maddison / fraser / westwood / aguero / zaha / ings

    Thanks.

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

      Benching headache. Surely you want to play Ings & Fraser?

      I'd wait to see how Richarlison plays tomorrow.

  15. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Would you rather bring in Doherty or a Newcastle defender (Yedlin/Lascelles) for Mendy (or Peltier, can afford either)?

    Already have Patricio, and thinking Newcastle have great home fixtures for a good few weeks in rotation with AWB (whereas Wolves fixtures are patchy).

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Doherty will be the popular response, but I think Newcastle's fixtures give them the edge

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Doherty, but Newcastle have a good fixture run until gw19 for rotation as you say

    3. GianniBanani
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ill rather stick with Bennet and bring Yedlin in

  16. Eden Wizard
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering shipping a Robbo (TAA frees up funds)? Could be the only way I afford Alonso in GW8/10

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I already have.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Who to?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          TAA. Paying off well.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Season keeper

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      no

      Robbo will outscore TAA by at least 35 points by the end of the season

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Why

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          better in BPS, nailed, more assist threat

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Is that true? TAA’s set prices and being a million cheaper makes him a much better pick

            1. the snazzy viking
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              he shares most of the set-pieces with others though

              not saying he's a bad pick just Robertson is worth the extra cash

          2. Pukki Party
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I think more or less equally nailed. Robertson better when ball is in play but as said TAA being on corners and freekicks evens that out, and 1m cheaper.

            1. the snazzy viking
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              if you have a strong bench then sure

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        So TAA is better value then. Alright.

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          This

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          it's like going for David Luiz over Alonso

      3. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Pretty terrible return on extra investment then

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          35+ points is nothing yes

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Lol at narrow mindedness

        2. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          35pts per 1m over a season would give you a final total score of 3500pts with total 100m squad. That sounds like a good investment of an extra 1m to me in that case.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            That’s not how it works. Investment and cost are different.

            1. the snazzy viking
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              please tell us how does it work

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                You have £36ml to INVEST above the £64ml minimum COST.

                4*2
                4*5
                5*4.5
                3*4.5

              2. Eden Wizard
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                So the analogy of 3500 points is factored wrongly.

            2. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Please explain. It sounds quite simple to me.

              1. Eden Wizard
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                See above

      4. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        That extra budget you save for similar output can easily cover any extra pts Robbo may get by seasons end. Plus TAA has some kicks in his locker, don't want to miss out on that free kick goal + CS week that could happen.

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          wouldn't say 'easily cover' but if that extra 1m helps you out significantly then go for it

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

      As a Liverpool fan, I reckon young TAA is looking at a rest sooner than Robbo. Was not at all surprised to see Gomez rested today - could have easily been Trent.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for the input

  17. Four Hit Wonder

    Are any Burnley assets worth considering for next 2?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sir Joe Hart.

      Gudmundsson should do well too.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Tarkowski.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I think worth investing in defensive assets, Palace fixtures on the turn in 4 weeks.

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Stephens down hurt.

  21. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

    BAPS finalised?

    Any chance Vardy gets all 3 bonus?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years

      Zero chance

  22. #FPLBhuna

    Do we think AWB, DDG and Mitro keep their baps?

    1. Hakchak
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I think the Baps are finalised no

      1. Hakchak

    So those who are transferring out Mendy and already have Alonso and Robertson, who are you getting in?

    1. The Mastermind
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I got Walker

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Might even keep him for 1 more week and save FT since I dont need him

      1. Bridge Burner
        • 11 Years

        This - until we know return date

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Doherty possibly to free up some cash
