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

        Zaha disappointing today, while both have decent fixtures upcoming and Mitro on form

    2. Union_Jacks

      Don’t do it

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

        Why?

  4. Emiliano Sala

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Fpl discovery says top10k average after added bonuses will be around 44 for now. Is that right?
    Currently on 45 points don't know it's bad or good or average 🙁

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

      Sounds about right. Most will have Hazard & Alonso at least to come.

    Can you be said to be "parking the bus" if you're the home team?

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

      If you're parking the bus you're parking the bus. Doesn't matter where the bus is.

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

        ...unless the bus is rolling down a hill.

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

        Yes but the saying implies that you've driven to the stadium and left the team bus in front of the goal.

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

          Even better then. The bus has been left in the stadium all week.

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

      Yes. But what is the bus driver's name as the actress said to the bishop 😉

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The term is used too much i think, keeping a low line and attacking on the counter is not parking the bus

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

        The greatest irony of this saying is that Jose introduced Britain to it when he was criticising another team's tactics.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Fun fact, what team/game can you remember?

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

            No sorry.

    Kane is playing deep again

    Such a strange tactic

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      maybe he's just started doing it of his own accord thinking he's some sort of creative genius a la Rooney

    Baffled to how Foster hasn't got a save point this week, definitely made 3 saves. I know it's only a point but who knows it could make the difference
