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

    Foster Fab
    Alonso Mendy Robbo PVA AWB
    Salah Mane Fraser Guendozi McDonald
    Aguero Zaha King

    Have 1.3ITB to upgrade Mane to Hazard thinking there are quite a lot of problems

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not time to wildcard but your midfield is shocking and needs a couple transfers. Rest looks fine

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrade Mane to hazard.. Play 5-2-3 with Salah and Hazard in midfield... Fraser as first sub incase Mendy doesn’t play next week.

  10. Piggs Boson

    1. JustPark
      8 years, 1 month ago

          8 years, 1 month ago

          Currently looking at Trippier to fix a defensive issue or Wolves, who really do look over the next four.

  17. SuperMane Returns

  18. OPTA FPL
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why didnt Trippier play vs Inter? Has Pott made up his mind that Arurier for Europe and Trippier for PL?

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

      I doubt he plays Aurier against Barcelona?

    2. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This could be likely yes. That’s what aurier was signed for initially

    Trippier really getting found out defensively here.

    1. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Usually does. Best used in games where they need goals and not vs the likes of Barca. Nailed on for next two prem games

  26. Brosstan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gazzaniga with great attitude there

  27. fedolefan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Useless Knockaert

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

    Blimey. Brighton should have scored there.

  29. Rash
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Shocking miss.

    2 FT and 0 ITB. What to do?

    I’ve had Mendy since the start so I’m not eager to dump him. Considering changing out Wilson a few weeks early. Any better forwards @ < 6.2 or just sit tight? Liked the look of Vydra in the Wolves match (even though Burnley looked terrible) but haven’t seen him in today’s match. Any insights? Thinking he could be a good two week punt with Cardiff and Huddersfield on the fixture list.

    Agüero/Mitro/Wilson

    Salah/Hazard/Maddison/Pereyra/Billing

    Alonso/Robertson/Mendy/Doherty/AWB

    Ryan/Button

    1. Mic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Id do mendy and wilson to Laca and someone. You have a strong bench

    2. HNI
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Such stubborness wont give you good finish. Probably wouldnt ever have had top10k finish. Even I had Mendy since gw1 but removed for Trippier after knowing he is out for more than this gw and good money to get another wingback. You are a member just use rmt tool to check highest scorer in next 4 among the choices
