Tottenham Hotspur are without the injured Harry Kane (£11.1m) for the final match of Gameweek 21 but there is still plenty of interest from a Fantasy perspective in the Lilywhites’ Sunday evening clash with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Kane is absent with ankle problems, with Gareth Bale (£9.3m) handed a start for just the second time in the league this season.

Bale for Kane is one of four changes that Jose Mourinho has made to his starting XI.

The other alterations see Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m), Davison Sanchez (£5.2m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m) come in for Eric Dier (£5.0m), Serge Aurier (£5.2m) and Matt Doherty (£5.6m).

The Brighton team news is unexpectedly straightforward, with manager Graham Potter making no changes from the side that drew with Fulham.

All of the Seagulls’ players have ownerships of less than 4% in FPL but the game’s most-selected asset does feature in tonight’s clash, with Son Heung-min (£9.8m) in the visitors’ line-up.

Son features in just under 60% of Fantasy squads, both overall and within the top 10,000.

He was also among the top ten most popular purchases of Gameweek 21, attracting 167,978 transfers in.

Son has hit eight goals on the road already in 2020/21, although only one has arrived since Gameweek 6.


Brighton XI: Sanchez, White, Dunk, Webster, Veltman, Gross, Bissouma, Mac Allister, March, Maupay, Trossard.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rodon, Davies, Sissoko, Ndombele, Hojberg, Bergwijn, Bale, Son.

    Sure Cancelo plays this week. Planning to transfer him in.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      With Pep, nothing is sure
      I’d say yes though, as that’s my thinking with Sterling

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling should do well in this game. Want to get him but have Salah Bruno Son Gundo and Soucek in my mid. Dont think I would want to lose any of them.

    2. Coys96

      He's my cap 🙂

        Good luck if you choose to go without.

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        getting him as my 8th attacker.

      Walker was gash, zinchenko is still zinchenko

        And they are playing their favourite opposition.

    5. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Pep tends to bench people 2 games in a row.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        They were poor again Sheffield. I am sure he would want to change that. Especially with pool clicking back again.

    6. Party time

      I’ve done this already for the gw

    better option :

    a) maguire
    b) awb

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    Chelsea played like a bunch of academy kids in their first game, but that said, the system really has some attractive elements and seems to fit the defensive end really well. Let’s see if it gets found out, but if they can be a bit more clinical; they can generate goals from multiple positions without compromising the shape or overworking on the press

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      CHO worth a shout in this setup; Alonso also if he can keep his place (which I doubt). Alonso fits the role better, cutting inside on the underlap

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Wat about Rudiger? Seems a fav of new manager?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Seems that way, I thought it was our best CB pairing coming into the year but zouma played well; just can’t shake the odd error, especially long balls to the outside channels. I’m not sure Rudiger isn’t a case of going to the veterans to solidify the team; can’t see zouma staying on bench permanently. It’s a wait and see for me on the back line

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Think James gets a few starts?

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        No I don’t, I think Azpi is going to get a run and he will be rest rotation

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Ok. Thinking who to transfer out for Cancelo. James prime candidate with Stones, Coufal, Holding and Mitchell the other four.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            If you’ve survived rage transferring Mitchell this long, I’d sell James 😉

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Have had other fires to put out. And with PVA probably leaving Palace Mitchell is just perfect at that price.

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                I really needed his CS pts this week.. took a 0 with him stones and Cancelo

  8. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which one would you choose for next few ?

    1) Laca
    2) Grealish
    3) Barnes
    4) Son
    5) Rashford
    6) Zaha

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Also, is it serious with Bamford?

      1. Coys96
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Dead leg

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2 or 3

    3. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      4 because of wba

  9. DB_00
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    With Raphinha injured looking to get Grealish but I have to fund it with Kane. Who to get?

    A) Wilson
    B) Watkins
    C) Antonio

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      C

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

      Bielsa didn’t seem to think Raphinha would necessarily miss Everton game so I would keep if you have bench cover as has double game week sometime soon

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio should have scored today

    5. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B without a doubt

      Never injured, plays for an amazing team, DGWs coming up, scores goals for fun

  10. dunas_dog

    • 11 Years

    Needing Son blank to get to top of ML as numbers 1 and 2 have captained him!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nil response

    2. Mika-eel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Half way there!

  11. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Auto sub points are so high!

    65 could easily be a red arrow if Son gets a couple of returns

  12. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Safe to do Foden > Grealish?

    Read something about a potential suspension.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He got through his 19th game

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Was on 4 yellows but this doesn't apply anymore.

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Did Mou say anything about Kanes injury prematch? I'm happy to keep him as I have a decent bench, but if he doesn't play for 3 weeks, he would drop more than 2m in price.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He said don’t listen to me I will only lie to you baby

    2. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Can only drop 0.3 per week I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That’s true but drops have been slow this year

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Is there a limit on price falls? He's falling at a rate of 0.1 per night. Also gameweeks are only 3 days long atm anyway.

        1. The Train Driver
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, 0.3 per week, can't rise nor fall more.

  17. Don Kloppeone

    Wrong Captain choice (Gundo over Salah) and one benching decision (Bamford vs Soucek) = 40 point swing!!! Unbelievable!

    Sickening stuff

    1. dshv
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Same

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Add in selling Wilson and imagine how you’d feel 😉

    3. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      How is that possibly 40 points?

      Soucek vs Bamford: 1 vs 15 = 14

      Gundo vs Salah: 3 vs 15 = 12

      Total 26

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        factor in C?

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          ???? You own both players regardless so it’s just 1 lot of points that’s the impact

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Dw you got this Dragon

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Yeh he totally did have this. I ballsed up. Overtired. Too much mayhem in my house

      2. Vazza
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He would have captained Salah perhaps

      3. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry was 38

        The Gundo vs Salah was a captain choice.

        3 x 2 = 6
        15 x 2 = 30

        Difference = 24

        Bench Bamford vs Soucek: 14

        Total = 38 swing

        Oh well 😆

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          That’s literally not how it works as you would have owned saah and Gundo regardless so it’s just the ‘captain’ part you lost

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You still get the 15 and the 3 regardless

          2. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You’re totally right

            I’m tired. And grumpy.

            It’s 33 vs 21 = 12 difference

            Still a total of 26 swing but I hang my head in shame at my non existent maths skills here

            1. TheDragon
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              It’s still brutal I agree! 🙂 🙂

              We go again next week!

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

              Salah (c), Bamford, Gundo scored 48

              Gundo (c), Salah, Soucek scored 22

              26 point swing.

          3. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            you're on the ball dragon!

        2. mojoindojo
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Gundo cap + Salah is 21
          Salah cap + Gundo is 33.
          So that's 12 point swing not 24

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Yep. Admitted my mess up above. Brain not functioning

        3. Vlekz
          5 years, 5 months ago

          It's only 38 points if you transferred out salah for gundo. If not it's half of that

      4. Bagheri Arce
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gundo over Salah here as well, and sold Wilson for DCL.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        All seemed logical. Just another kick in the balls!

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I sold Wilson for Kane and then for DCL 😀

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I was planning Wilson and Bamford out for DCL and Kane before the Kane injury !

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I knew I was in trouble when I did the early move; stupid gamble

              I've left every transfer to the last minute since November to Cover any COVID postponements, my TV is low as a result however, only 103.5m.

    6. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I make it a 26 point swing.

      Salah (c), Bamford, Gundo scored 48

      Gundo (c), Salah, Soucek scored 22

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. Messed up the maths. Still significant but not 40pts 😆

        1. Vazza
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          It’s 26 points dude, which is not bad as you could make that up in a week

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Absolutely mate. Onwards and upwards l!

    7. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      59 point swing for me
      4 decisions that went wrong this week cost me 47 points
      If I count Gundo (3) over Salah (15) captain, that's another 12 points

      First two were transfers for hits and the last two were benching options
      Bamford (15) > DCL (2) = -17
      AWB (8) > Digne (1) = -11
      Martinez (10) - Schmeichel (2) = -8
      Wilson (13) - Watkins (2) = -11

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        It can be a cruel mistress this game

    8. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Horrible.
      My deepest sympathies.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        It turned out to be 26 (my brain failed me) but still frustrating!

    Need double digit from son is it possible ?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      why not

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I need him to get less than 8 points to win MotM for January in my mini league

  19. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Rashford -> Salah, for free.

    If no other pressing issues?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      i would

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I am doing it closer to deadline

    3. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I did exactly this

  20. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Phillips @ 4m worth a gamble? have decent bench cover

    other 4 defenders Dias, Stones, Dallas, Coufal

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No. Get a Chelsea defender.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        selling James

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          OK. Keep and get a nailed Chelsea defender the next GW.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Which one though?

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No way

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        cheers

        might roll FT & hope James gets a start soon

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          start Coufal over James next week

  21. diesel001

    Just looking at rankings and you need 65pts per GW to get into the top 10k. 62pts per GW to get into the top 100k. Feels higher than usual.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It’s going up every year as player numbers increase

      65 would have been top 1k a few years back

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Top 10k is a pipe dream these days. Need a lot of luck. Top 50k is a good rank these days.

  22. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah rested vs Brighton to be ready for the City game reasonable to assume?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If Mane is fit then there is definitely a chance

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Im hoping start... grab a couple & taken off

      but your guess above could easily happen

    3. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nah Salah got his rest last week. He starts the next 2 games

      1. The Train Driver
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        They have LEI and CL a week after that with 3 days apart as well.

        1. Lazaretti
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure if I should bring him in then. Good info. Thanks.

  23. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Mmm...32 from 10, just Son to come. Anyone done any worse?!

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Plenty I'd think.

  24. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Two horrible game weeks for me over the past week, 2k to *13k. Transfers and captaincy couldn’t have been any worse.

    Lesson learned: Be wary of panicking or being so reactive with transfers / captaincy to a poor gameweek, because another can easily follow.

    Time to save a FT and steady the ship for me!

  25. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dier benched, stones benched... Coufal first on the bench with holding second, PLEASE don’t bring Dier on

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He’s for sure coming on

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Awful pass Son

  27. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Kane owners what you doing?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kane to Wilson or Antonio & Foden to Sterling for me.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      holding 1more gmwk & seeing then

  28. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Gross close

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  29. fedolefan

  30. Going To Win This Year
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Robbo owners.
    Ditching after 1 more gameweek?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid they always concede late on, Rudiger for 4.5 has smashed him in the past five games!

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah will keep for the upcoming GW before downgrading to a Chelsea DF
