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.

      Bielsa didn’t seem to think so, certainly compared to Rodrigo

    Big fan of getting players in as they/their team hit form. Liverpool look to have their mojo back. I think going forward anyways.

    Saka and son to mane and salah.

    Yes or no

    Midfield currently saka, bruno, son, grealish, gundo

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

      Salah will rest vs Brighton

      1. DangerFC
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I think the same with city upcoming but it's a huge game. If they drop points in it before city it would be unforgivable

        Klopp?

          German manager of Liverpool football club

        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Unlikely. It is Wednesday - Sunday 16.30.
        Klopp hates the Saturday 12.30 slot after a CL match on Wednesday night. 28hours extra will do fine.

  5. Duke Silver ☑

    Aaron Aguero coming on.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

      Maddison

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      Easy. Oh wait.....

    3. Niho992
      • 7 Years

      Klopp will bench Salah for you

      1. marcos11
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Don’t think I’ll captain him just in case but l still think I’ll start him

  7. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure what to do here. In the fortunate position of no major fires to put out, 6.2 ITB and 2FTs.

    Martinez Steer
    Stones Cancelo Mitchell Holding Coufal
    Son Salah Bruno Gundogan Anguissa
    Laca Bamford Antonio

    Laca to Wilson for a couple of weeks? Upgrade Anguissa to Grealish and have a benching headache?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd maybe get TAA in.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Anguissa to Grealish looks sound i'd say, missed the boat with wilson and wouldn't expect him now to go on a scoring run bar palace.

    3. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rudiger for one of the cheap defs or DCL/Watkins for Laca

  8. 03farmboy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do with this team?

    McCarthy/ meslier
    Chilwell, Stones, Justin, Kwp, alioski
    Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Saka, Soucek
    Calvert-Lewin, bamford, Antonio

    I have 1 free transfer or would you wildcard it

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you wildcard that team

  9. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Would be quite happy for Son to score now Dier can’t come on.

  10. dark91
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    In what world would you make Sissoko play as a RM/RW?!!

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

      Versatile enough. Scored a few for The Toon.

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Far from it today. Can't even complete 2 successive passes correctly

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

          Or tackle! It's an awful game. Spurs look like they backed a Brighton win.

  11. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best 4.5 or less defender for the next 4/5 gw’s?

    Thinking Dawson or Holding?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rudiger or Holding

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Rudiger tempting but it’s not clear how nailed he is.

    2. Steve The Spud

    DDG
    Cancelo Stones AWB
    Salah Bruno Gundo Barnes

    Johnstone Chilwell ESR Coufal

    1 FT and 4.3 in the bank

    Should I save??

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So many bench points coming in with City def, Sterling and Mane out. I have Bamford first sub, no chance of getting his 15.

    What's a good score this GW?

    1. Party time
        5 years, 2 months ago

        60 & above

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Salah got me to 60+. Luckily.

      • 272MK
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Same.

        Dayyummmmm Son Antonio whyyyyy

      • Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        60

      • Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I’ve got 75 (-4). If that helps. And a DCL captain fail.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Everyone failed for me expect Martinez and Salah(C)

    2. Ragabolly
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Late to the party, but Salah's two goals were top quality finishing! He made both look so easy!

      1. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        loved the goals as he was my captain!!

        1. Ragabolly
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Same 😀

      2. MagicMessi

        Unfortunately true that

      3. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        One of the most consistent attackers the leagues ever seen

        1. Ragabolly
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Indeed. He improved though

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

        Arriving in good areas much more often recently; if they can continue to supply him, may be time for a run

        1. Ragabolly
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Mane out always helps

      5. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Ok I will use my FT and bring him. Klich out Salah in.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Looking for some early transfer thoughts. Which one to prioritise? Obviously pending pressers

      B. Raphinha/Soucek to Grealish

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        B

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          If both Soucek and Raphinha are fit, which one would you lose?

    4. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Best 6.4 max MId as Raphinha replacement. Own Soucek.

      Barkley or someone else ?

      We need to learn a lesson from Bambam 15pts. But what is the lesson

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Casuals always win

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

        The lesson is that this year isn’t about who you buy, it’s about who you don’t sell

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          thanks uncle iroh

      3. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Pick high ownership players who get lots of chances with high price ceilings and are nailed.

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          high point ceiling that is. Got in DCL this week who doesn't match these criteria.

      4. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        As long as you made sensible choices it doesn't matter how many points you benched.
        No lesson in this, just luck.
