The final two fixtures of Gameweek 14 take place this evening – Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford at 19.30 GMT, followed by Manchester United v Arsenal 45 minutes later.

Antonio Conte make two changes from the 2-1 win over Leeds United in Gameweek 12, with Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) coming in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m), both of whom drop to the bench.

That means Harry Kane (£12.3m) – who has scored just one goal in 11 league appearances this season – leads the line, with Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) flanking him either side.

As for Brentford, they are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, with Sergi Canos (£5.5m), Christian Norgaard (£5.0m) and Rico Henry (£4.5m) all recovering from knocks to keep their place in the starting XI.

Thomas Frank’s side have lost just one of their six away matches this season, and will move into the top half of the table with a win tonight.

Elsewhere, Man Utd make three changes from their Gameweek 13 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Harry Maguire (£5.4m), Diogo Dalot (£4.4m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.3m) replacing Eric Bailly (£4.9m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.2m) and Nemanja Matic (£4.5m).

At Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli (£5.2m) starts in place of Bukayo Saka (£6.3m), who is a substitute, while Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) comes in for Albert Sambi Lokonga (£4.8m).

    FPL have awarded the assist to Son 😀

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      *checks marks team*

      Ah makes sense

    2. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Early stocking stuffer. 🙂

      ...for now.

  2. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Don’t worry Son owners. He’s scoring a brace anyway

  3. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    No consistency from FPL

  4. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    That's never been assist in the past but again I wouldn't put money on Official FPL/Opta making the right decision on this.

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      You said 🙂

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      If you give Gundogan the Jesus assist from Sunday you can pretty much justify anything.

  5. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    That must be why Mark loaded up on Brentford players on his wildcard. They score and assist even their opponents goals...

  6. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    OG

  7. Roy Hudd
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Will the son assist be taken off?Just because it's absolutely not a son assist that's all.

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Of course it will

    2. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      I own him but I think it will be remove.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Explain why it isn't. Got one deflection before the own goal

      1. bombonera
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Defender was clearing the ball intentionally. If it were only a deflection then it would be an assist

      2. Roy Hudd
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Because janson cleared the ball and it so happened canos was in the way and headed it in. It's in no way an assist to the goal at all. You know it really, come on don't be blinkered.

    4. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Here here. Copium for the son owners that was never an assist

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      They kept Gundogan’s …

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Enjoy the assist while it's there 😀

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Think I might book a restaurant and dine out on it

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Goal - own goal (Canos)
    Assist - TBC

    Spurs 1-0 Brentford (12 mins)

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Son assist

      1. Luca2910
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Never a son assist

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Canos OG
    Son A

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      The other Brentford touch?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Try again.

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        🙁

  11. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Just remembered Mark owns Son. Assist will stand

    1. Luca2910
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Joke if son gets assist

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      please just let this meme die

  12. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    "Should a touch by an opposing player be followed by a defensive error by another opposing outfield player then no assist will be awarded"

    It hits Mbuemo & Jansson. No assist. It'll change.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      There was no defensive error though

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        It was a clearance though.

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        it came off like 2 players before Canos

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Oh. Did not even see Canos 😀

      Son->Mbuemo->Jansson->Canos 😀

      Harry Kane might claim he touched it though...

  13. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Finally Son returns, i'd take anything at this point im desperate

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Enjoy!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Who's gonna tell him?

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        oh F no. RIP

  14. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    How is that Son assist? Came off Jansson before Canos....

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah, it won't stand

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Ah, Emerson...

  16. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Son assist taken down already. Shouldn't have taken that long tbh.

  17. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Ffs

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Son in the mood!

  19. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Yawn

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Boooo

  21. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    assist removed

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Spurs look sharp

  23. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Why the f has the son assist been taken away? That makes no sense

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Because of rules.

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Read the rules

    3. Firmino
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Disgrace

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Clearly you don’t understand the rules

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Two opponent touches before the ball went in: one was a clearance onto another's head, so the created chance was gone

    6. HonestBlatter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Has to be returned. Clear cross assist for own goal

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Surely it’s a son assist?

      2. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        LOL

    7. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Am I not allowed to be annoyed, could really do with a son return..

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Course you are but it makes perfect sense why it's not an assist.

  24. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Brentford goalkeeper looks vulnerable they might get demolished

  25. 420king
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Son is my differential in a really intense league...along with Jimenez and this week, Johnson. F***

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Dire

  27. HonestBlatter
    • 14 Years

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Surely you're just gutted your team's 1-0 down?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 13 days ago

          Yeah but if your team is gonna be 1-0 down you'd rather it gets some fpl points for you

        • Danno - Emre Canada
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 13 days ago

          Haha yeah of course. Never even meant to Captain Son and was supposed to be there but damn Covid pos. So it’s all pants

    2. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      I sold Son to Gundogan to fund Alonso, I feel a bit unlucky with Gundogan not playing.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Spurs needs Dele Alli

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        Not

      2. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        They need a time machine with deli alli
