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

  1. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Lol ready 2FT
    Salah + Jimenez > Kane + Gudmundsson
    Save for two weeks then swap back

  2. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    For me it's Salah OR Kane, and Salah is still outperforming Kane atm.

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

      Probably wildcarding so feel its worth the risk of having Kane for the next two and reassessing Salah after the international break.

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

      You could have both, but currently decent priced mids and forwards are getting more points for a few quid more than either of them.

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

    Majority of my team play each other next game week which is a bit worrying. Tempted to wildcard..

    Fab (MUN)
    Robbo(che) Alonso(LIV) bennet(SOU)
    Salah(che) Mané(che) hazard(LIV) Fraser(CRY)
    Aguero(BRI) Wilson(CRY) ings(wol)

    Foster awb(bou) tomkins(bou) Stephens(cty)

    Thoughts please

    1. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ride it out.

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      One more attacking return and a cleanie for Trippier please

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Need a Goal for Lucas

      1. The Mastermind
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yup

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

      So how was Salah?

      Everyone keeping now? Still selling for Hazard after tomorrow perhaps?

      Haven't seen any footy today so far sadly, just goals and results now.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        As usual, Salah could and should have had 2-3 goals today

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

          Missed loads last season too while scoring plenty. Hopefully he'll return to form.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I hope you’re right.

    5. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      What happened with Rico? I thought he might be a clever wildcard buy - got him last week instead of doherty!

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        you got into FFS trap lol
        never go near a Bournemouth defender

        1. Dyballer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          That Charlie Daniels season has corrupted so many minds. I too went for Rico over Doherty after long consideration... bad mistake

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            he was on penos that period

            1. Dyballer
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Oh right, forgot about that. Tbf a big reason for the appeal with Rico was his set piece duty and that ‘big chance’ conceded stat

    6. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      What should I do for GW7?

      Begovic (Borja)

      Daniels Boly Jonny (Wan Bissaka) (Tomkins)

      Salah Hazard Moura Walcott (Costa)

      Lukaku Vardy Arnautovic.

      Don’t really have a captain for next week!

      1. The Mastermind
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I have Lukaku and thinking of getting rid after Newcastle

    7. beetlejuice
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have few players seems dropping in price tonite . Pedro , Pickford, Masuaku, Salah perhaps.
      Is it a good reason to WC to not to loose TV? Otherwise I’m happy with my team .

      Pickford
      Mendy, Alonso, Robertson, WanBisakka, Shaw
      Salah, Pedro, Fraser, BSilva, Masuaku
      Aguero, King, Mitro

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No need to WC that team imo.

      2. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 2 months ago

          What's more important a measly 0.4m or your most powerful chip?

      3. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hi guys, considering to use WC like this, can you help me ? 😀

        Ederson-Hart
        Wan Bissaka-Doherty-Alderweireld-Alonso-(Bednarek)
        Richarlison-Fraser-Mane-Maddison(Hojbjerg)
        Aguero-Kane-King

        2.0 ITB

        Considering to replace fraser with Ramsey

        1. Sandy Ravage
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Get Hazard & either Robertson or Alexander-Arnold

          1. Niho992
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            it s not logical to bring on liverpool defenders on WC from next GW (Chelsea and City).
            thinking to bring on Hazard from GW 10 or 11

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        Trippier yellow

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

        Tottenhams next 4 fixtures:
        - Watford (away) league cup
        - Huddersfield (home) league
        - Barcelona (home) Europe
        - Cardiff(home) league

        Is it fair to assume that Aurier plays against Watford and Cardiff and Trippier plays against Huddersfield and Barce?

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

          See after midweek.

          Wouldn't be surprised with A/T/T/T.

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

          i think Trip will miss the Hudd game. wouldn't want him to get a silly knock in a game he shouldn't be needed right before barc.

      7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Duffy time

      8. ZakAFC_
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Would you wildcard this?

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

        Fabianski, Pedro*, Mendy*, Bednarek

        1FT, 0.2 ITB

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

          No.

        2. Vamos
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Don't think you need to, but we've similar teams and it's starting to feel like a good time to consider it. Fixtures turn for Arsenal, Newcastle and Leicester plus Champions League is coming thick and fast. Not sure my spine of the team will alter, but I'll have a far stronger bench after it.

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

          Heck no.

        4. BooYaKasha
          • 14 Years

          ??
          What would you WC this to?

      9. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sterling points in the last 2 GWs and Vardy points this GW felt so very sweet in a very long time of playing FPL. Vardy - 3.8 % ownership and Sterling - 3 % ownership. 🙂

      10. The Mastermind
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Transferred BSilva for Moura and he’s doing sweet fa. 2 points incoming 🙂

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

        Mendy to Tripper?

        Already own Alonso Awb Bennett and Holebas

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Popular move and could be ok yea

        2. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Contemplating the same

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

          I’d still wait for more news. Especially if you got for 6.0.

          The more recently you got him the more need to offload of course.

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

            Had since gw1 may as well cash in and buy back if need be, its alot to bench for a few weeks

      12. Atom&Humber
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thoughts on this wildcard team:
        Hennesey hamer
        Alonso Trippier Doherty AWB TAA
        Salah Hazard Fraser Lennon Hojbjerg
        Aguero Vardy Mitrovic

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

          Nice, except Lennon.

          1. Atom&Humber
            • 9 Years

              • 9 Years

                • 14 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Downgrade Trippier and upgrade Lennon.

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

        Could be back next he. Not known yet real extent of the injury

            Nice as he majorly owned in top 10k amd its time patience with bernardo Silva pays vs knee jerkers Moura managers

          • The Mastermind
            • 8 Years

            • 8 Years

            He's still on

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

              He's bound to score!

          • Kellz86
            • 8 Years

            And he's still on

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            It's a trap

          • Kellz86
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Still on, Lamela in for Son

        3. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          This week, I will mostly be transferring, Mendy out for Trippier

          Provided there's no pressing issues

          1. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Well the only issue is Aurier.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 9 Years

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Or him.

                Surely Trippier might be rested in the easier looking league fixtures coming up.

            2. Clintymints
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              He's a bit of a head case though

          2. HNI
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thats so last week. Avoided Stephens 1 pt with that free transfer. Now this week Salah to Eriksen for short term

          I’ve just realised the number next to my username has gone from 4 seasons to 5 in the last week.

          Must go on signup date and not “seasons”

          1. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Why would it be seasons, we weren't all 'brought' by FFS at the same time....

            1. Homo Neanderthalensis
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I remember when I asked what it was when it popped up the first time one of the admins said it was how many seasons you’ve been with us.

            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Foster
            Alonso Robo AWB
            Haz Mane Bilva Rich Fraser
            Aguero Mitro

            I’m on 36 with Hazard Alonso Aubameyang Richarlison and Tosun still to play so I’d say yes it’s not bad
