Ryan benched and Maupay not in squad as Potter makes surprise calls for Spurs clash

The two highest-scoring Fantasy Premier League assets feature in the late kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and Harry Kane (£10.9m) have plundered 134 FPL points between them in the first six Gameweeks of 2020/21 and both are averaging over 10 points per match in the current campaign.

Brighton and Hove Albion provide Spurs’ opposition this evening, with kick-off in north London at 19:15 GMT.

There are just two changes to the Lilywhites’ starting XI from the side that edged Burnley last Monday.

Sergio Reguilon (£5.6m) returns at left-back, while Erik Lamela (£5.9m) is recalled down the right flank.

Ben Davies (£4.8m) and Lucas Moura (£6.8m) drop out and are among the substitutes, along with Gareth Bale (£9.5m).

Dele Alli (£7.5m) is again not involved in any capacity.

While the Spurs’ line-up was mostly predictable, Graham Potter’s team selection was anything but.

Neal Maupay (£6.6m) is omitted and isn’t even among the substitutes, while fellow forward Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) is also absent from the Albion matchday squad.

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) drops to the bench, meanwhile, with 22-year-old goalkeeper Robert Sanchez – unpriced in FPL – making his first Premier League start.

Pascal Gross (£5.8m) is brought into the side in Maupay’s absence, with Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) set to lead the line for the Seagulls.

Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) is on the substitutes’ bench.

Potter explained his decisions before kick-off:

Kane and Son were the first and second most-captained FPL assets of Gameweek 6, with a combined three million Fantasy managers handing one of the two the armband.

They are similarly well backed in the top 10k, with 78.56% of the leading FPL managers owning both players.

Kane has been captained by 58.03% of the top 10,000 bosses.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon, Sissoko, Hojbjerg, Lamela, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Webster, Veltman, Burn, Lamptey, White, Bissouma, March, Gross, Lallana, Trossard.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You sold him and he was therefore a must have?

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Proved once again.

    4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The best bit being “I’ve just transferred him out”
      Unlucky

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It was all about that 😀

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    56 with Bamford and Dallas to play. Feels decent but only a small green arrow to 1.58m OR.

    Why is this season so tough?!

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Points so spread

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not bad. My first good GW, 72 all out. Hope this season is finally turning around.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That’s an awesome score mate! You’ll be right back up there soon. You’ve probably leapfrogged me now right?

  8. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1. Buck The Trent

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years

  10. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    6 of my 7 attacking players scored well...I captained the one that didn't. That takes skill

  11. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    60 plus 1 to play ok?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Go away ffs

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’m sure it’s not that great jeez

  12. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) Is Lamptey injured?
    B) Any update on Maupay

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey came off but just looked like a knock

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey looked fine, just a bit of cramp I think. Sorry don’t know about Maupay

    3. MESSINHO
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A) He made a solid run after he returned to the pitch, then subbed for precautionary reasons imo. Probably just cramps.
      B) idk.

  13. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) TAA Brewster to Coufal Werner (-4)
    B) Saiss Barkley to Lamptey Ziyech (-4)

    Lamptey could be coufal

  14. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haven't played this season (and it’s been really beneficial for me) but this weekend I really missed FPL. With a 4 week lockdown I’ve decided to start a team. I don’t care about being 400 points behind I just want to have some fun with it. Thoughts on this team?

    Mendy
    Laporte Chilwell Cancelo
    Fernandes(C) Rashford Jota Bowen Fornals
    Kane Adams

    Johnstone Vestergaard Watkins Kilman

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t touch United with a ten foot pole

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No longer Fernandes (C) against WBA in the plans?

  15. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I’m drifting further behind the leaders in my ML
    a) Wildcard
    b) Robertson, ASM -> R James, Grealish
    c) Maupay -> Wilson

    McCarthy
    Robbo-Justin-Konsa-Kilman-Taylor
    Salah-Son-Bruno-ASM-Bissouma
    Kane-DCL-Maupay

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B but not confident on James minutes.

  16. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saiss + Sterling > Chilwell + Rashford ?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was set to have Rashford aswell but seeing them playing tonight not so sure anymore.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Fixtures will change. No-one was good this week. Unless U want JWP.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      United didn’t look good at all today.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe Arsenal is to blame?

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe... but Pogba is a passenger, Fred not good enough. They just didn’t click at all today. Even Bruno was off the pace today, they really didn’t create much at all.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Nor did Spurs or MCI either.

  17. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Robbo v City and play Lamptey?

    Martinez Forster
    Robbo Chilwell Zouma Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah Son Rodriguez Grealish Podence
    DCL Kane Bamford

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you are keeping Robbo I’d play him

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

  18. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That horrible feeling when only Harvey Barnes can save your season

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      *week

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have no players left. Going for OG and RC.

  19. WenzelK
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Doherty ever gonna show som attacking play under Mou’s Tottenham? Or should I just sell him for a cheaper defender like Masuaku, Lamptey, KWP or Bellerin (nice long term fixtures)

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sell until he's settled if ever.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sell, he’s playing far too defensive for the price tag

  20. Bank$y
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bamford or Adams and why?

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford because Adams.

      1. Frucke
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hahahaha

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Reguilon worth having even with the odd benching here and there? Probably

  22. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Rodriguez dropping tonight?

  23. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My Lamptey points were lucky. Sold him for more consistent points from Zouma.

    1. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think lamptey will score more over the season. Touch n go but good luck!

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What about those with Lamptey and Zouma?

  24. michaelington
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Squad is decimated. Lamptey injured now. So that’s Saiss, Mitchell, Ryan, Ings and Pulisic. I also have Reed who could be a rotation risk.

    Can I borrow a wildcard off anyone?

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey didn't look that injured. Played on a bit before running off.

    2. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      All I can offer you is that you used your first one wisely. After that, hard luck!

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I see you and raise:
      Mitchell
      JRod
      Ings
      Maupay
      Robertson
      Double Villa defence
      Sterling

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd give you mine but I'm not convinced you'll give it back. 😉

    5. MESSINHO
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I guess Lamptey is fine.

  25. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mane --> Aubameyang (c)

    Free transfer.

    Have Son, but don't own Kane.

    Cheers.

  26. sambyy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I went into the game with just Lamptey, can't believe he got more than Kane and Son combined.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      😮

    2. Frucke
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thats crazy

  27. ilikewud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bale has one touch and gets 3 bonus! Can’t be more clinical than that.

  28. Adderz
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Am i mad for considering Vardy over Kane?

    1. Frucke
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I will probably go without Kane for the season. Think there are cheaper forwards that will get almost same points.

  29. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not looking like Reguilón is gonna feature in the bonus... 🙁
