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.

    Who would you rather for the next 3? Antonio right?

    a) Antonio (AVL, FUL, SHU)
    b) Watkins (WHU, ARS, BRI)

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Ant

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio surely

    3. Sid1891

      Antonio

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      Got to be Ant

    5. Party time

      Nothing worse than a disappointing son.

      1. aborg
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Actually it was Spurs that were dissapointinh in general. Son did not get much quality services and was getting neutralised by most of the time.

      2. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Son needed a better team - like DCL with the rest of Everton

    7. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Which one is better:

      1) Sterling + TAA --> Salah + Dias + 1.8 ITB
      2) Pogba + Firmino ---> Salah + 6.1 FWD

      Both would cost -4 hit, 6.1 FWD is probably Adams as I'm priced out of Watkins (6.2)

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1. No hit should involve bringing in Adams imo

    8. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty dreadful week. Any thoughts here?

      Martinez
      Dias Cancelo Dallas
      Grealish Fernandes Sterling Salah Son
      Watkins Antonio

      Subs: Brewster, Dier, Mitchell

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Its a good team. Those with jam got a good week. Bam over Watkins for me mind.

        1. Oooo Matron
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Of course I brought Watkins in this week for Bamford!

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Honestly, I'd want to build towards this team. Really good. Do nothing. Get Bamford for Watkins if you already have 2FT or maybe Dier -> Holding/Shaw/Rudiger.

    9. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lads, quick help here please:

      Martínez / McCarthy
      Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Saïss /  Dallas
      Salah / Bruno / Grealish / Gündogan / Soucek
      DCL / Antonio / Watkins

      £5.7 in the bank

      A. Saïss out, Robbo in
      B. Hold, save FT for next week

      Bamford flagged, but should be OK?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yup ; back to 2-2-1 weeks ahead.

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          But Everton were woeful against Newcastle. There is hope!!

      2. Party time
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

        • HuthTheMagicDragon
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Dead leg apparently, i'm holding and starting.

      3. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        When the highest scoring player is also your captain. One of the best feelings in FPL and why we still play this game 🙂

      4. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Anyone beat Son captain, 32 points on the bench and losing my cup tie by 1 point 😉

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Thought you had scored 60 or so?

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Where did you get that from

      5. Ronnies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If Kane is out for Chelsea, Would you play Watkins over Son ?

        Watkins home to West Ham

        Cheers.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Unknown. Probably not.

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

          Play both?

          1. Ronnies
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Front 8;

            Salah, Bruno, Son, Grealish, Gundog
            DCL, Antonio, Watkins

            I need to bench 1

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              0/7 Calvert Lewin.

              1. Capocannonieri
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                DCL could be lethal vs Leeds

                There is a brace potential there- but Everton could play really bad again

                I have Son, Watkins, and DCL

        3. Capocannonieri
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If that’s the only choice - yeah Watkins is playing with the best playmaker in the game

          Son is playing with Championship level mids like Lamela, Sissoko, Moura, and Ndombele... and the washed up Man-Bun

      6. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who to bench here? No BB

        Salah Gundogan Grealish Fernandes Son
        Antonio DCL Bamford

        1. Rassi
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Seems mad but I might bench Son...

        2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Son or Antonio

        3. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          same players except that i have Barnes over Son.Currently on Bamford.

        4. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not making it easy are you, go with gut.
          If it goes bad at least you cannot blame anyone 🙂

        5. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          There's no answer here pal. Bench one of them and don't think about the benched points too much.

        6. Capocannonieri
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Salah and Gunsog have Pep risk greater than Zero

      7. McSauce
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1 FT this week;

        A) Chilwell --> TAA
        B) Chilwell --> Robbo
        C) Adams --> Antonio
        D) Soucek --> Grealish
        E) Sterling --> Mane (if fit)

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You are joking with A and B, right?

          1. Klip Klopp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Why would that be a joke? A non starter for a guaranteed starter with basically the same output?

            1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              So many better options. Robbo has blanked 4 times in his last 5 games. Worst value in FPL.

        2. M2.0
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          c

        3. McSauce
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Chilwell may not start and also playing spurs.

          I think Lpool will start to make moves

        Son owners, what's the play? Keep or sell for Mane/Sterling/someone else?

        Currently on keep, but could be persuaded otherwise.

        1. seanie3

          Dgws for sure. People were getting 150+ scores and others were getting 60 odd (me)

          1. seanie3
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No panic, I’ve overtaken league leaders with 100 or lead in the past with 18 games left so 45 is not a big lead with so many games left

        Knowing my luck Soucek will probably get double figures.

      23. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mourinho won't start Bale again unless he's tearing it up in training, which is unlikely. Imagine the squad morale when players are working flat out and Bale, who's lacking fitness if not ability, gets to start ahead of them. Spurs played like a team who had a midtable finish guaranteed, nó need for effort. Son was getting no service.
