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.

        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If you must. No bonus though.

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

          Deal

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

            What? Too easy to give up, negotiate for a hattrick!

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

              He said no Son goal, not "goals". I guess he is fine with more than 1 goal 😉

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

                Ok, put that in the contract and sign 😆

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    That was Gross

  5. JayKay1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Considering my start was -2 after 5 (Mitchell, Stones, Cancello, Sterling {C}, DCL with a -4 to boot), am more than a little shocked to have hit 80 pts this week ;o)

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      amazing turnaround

      1. JayKay1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Salah VC / Bamford / Martinez / Dallas, even 4 pt cameo from Jones off of bench, all just fell in place... Got lucky! ;o)

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

    Brighton and Sheff Utd the only teams in the PL to be underperforming both xG and xGC (i.e. they are scoring fewer and conceding more than expected).

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I watch SHU and fail to accept these xG stats mean anything

      They are hust dreadful never look like scoring

  7. zdrojo187

    5 years, 5 months ago

    Yesterday...6 points

    Sterling C
    Cancelo
    Stones
    Mitchell

    Today...68 points

    Salah VC
    Bamford
    Dawson
    Mendy

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

    2. JayKay1

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Similar, yesterday 21 (17 after -4), today 80!!!

  8. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    If u have son but not cap what u want??

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

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

      Son EO in Top 10k after VC and auto subs is 73%

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ok thats lower than i expected. Cup opp needs 12 points from him so 1 goal and 2 baps shd do nothing more

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          3*

  9. DonBenzema
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What's the verdict on Rashford? Great fixtures incoming, but in dreadful form.
    Would you prioritize moving him out for Grealish or think about replacing Kane first?

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

      Too busy concentrating on school dinners

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

    Anything more frustrating in fpl than selling a player who hauls for one who blanks?

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

      VC hauls

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

      Transferring out an injured player for another player....who then gets injured (ala Vardy > Kane(

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

        Yea thats annoying.

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

      Ppl getting jammy vc hauls

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        2 of my 3 opponents had Lewis auto subs this week

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

          3 opponents?

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

            H2Hs

    5. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Try 2!! Wilson Bamford out for DCL/Richarlison

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

        Ouch!!

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Let's go Son!!

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's Sonny time stage is set

  12. George James
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best one?

    A) Burke >> Grealish

    B) Brewster >> Antonio

    C) Brewster >> Bamford

    D) Roll and play Coufal

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You need Bamford. Should of had.

      Then I would say try and get Graelish in looks really good right now.

      1. George James
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        “Should have had”

        Cheers haha

    The 2nd place player in my league has the following defense:

    Cancelo(c) Saiss Aurier Chillwell Keane

    I think it’s the first time I’ve seen an active team end up with zero points from five defenders

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      madness

  14. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Like if you held Salah through his drought and were rewarded with big haul this week.

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

      Not only did I hold him through the drought. I captained him every single week. Not this week tho. Decided to captain a DM instead.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        This game is cruel at times.

        I benched Wilson this week for Barnes. And I never bench Wilson. Really stung that.

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

          Dunno. It was a stupid decision. All I had to do was hold my nerve. 6 blanks was one too many it seems.

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

            Of course if I'd known Mane was out I would have

      2. Party time
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Hahahahaha 😆

      3. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Oh man. I was with you, captaining him every week thru the curse. But was fortunately also on Salah(c) this week

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

      Kept, didn't cap.

  15. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Planning to bring in grealish but would mean benching one of these

    A: Antonio (avl)
    B: Bamford (EVE)
    C: Rashford (SOT)

    Not ideal i know but massive fomo whenever villa play and they have good fixtures.

    Plus given the quick turaround and lack of premiums, no harm in having a strong front 8?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe bench Antonio

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

        Never bench Antonio

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

      I’d wait until you have a extra ft in the bank and have a need; never know what could happen

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

      Sell Rashford for Grealish - problem solved

  16. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who is the best defender to own right now outside of City and West Ham? Already have 3 players of those.

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

      Chelsea (Silva for me)

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

      Rüdiger 4.5 😉

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

        I’d be on Rudiger in a heart beat but just feels like a gotcha

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

      Holding

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Targett maybe?

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

    Looking like being a very low scoring affair

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

      People predicted 0-0 (or wished) at HT for WHU-LIV

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

        I suppose Brighton might win by 2 or 3

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

      Brighton are crap. They'll find a way to concede 3 with a combined xg of 0.03.

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Whats Salah EO after VCs facotred in?

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

      95%-ish if I recall correctly

    2. citizenkane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      97.5%

  19. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Always captain salah

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Even easier decision when Firminio is bench and he is starting up front.

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

      Did not hear this the last 6 GWs until tonight

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

        They have been licking their rank sliding

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

          Ahh that explains 😉

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Just if in doubt, Captain Salah

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

    Is Harry back for Chelsea or WBA longer?

    Thinking, Kane & Foden > Wilson/Antonio & Sterling?

  21. balint84
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Rüdiger or Thiago?

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

      Spurs next, wait another week?

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

      Do more often and you will win this game

  22. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Comeon my Son get those Salah points

  23. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Mm would you bench Gündogan or Antonio for this coming gameweek?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gundogan

      Gund bench wouldnt surprise me one bit with pool next

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I was thinking he might get benched. I originally thought Antonio bench cause his minutes need managing but you’re maybe right.

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

    Need a Son RC to advance in the cup

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

      Me too as an owner, rival has him cap.

  25. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which option looks best?

    A - Johnstone > Martinez
    B - Johnstone > Guaita
    C - Raphinha > Grealish

    Johnstone
    Robbo - Dallas - Stones
    Salah - Bruno - Soucek - Gundo
    Antonio - Bamdord - DCL

    McCarthy - Raphinha - Justin - Coufal

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

      A with Villa’s games in hand

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

    Trossard G

  27. MoSalad
    • 12 Years

    Get in Brighton

  28. _Ninja_

    Good goal trossard

  29. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Forgotten how intense these 2 day GWs are.
