Two more Double Gameweek 29 matches take place this evening and there is plenty of interest in both of them from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Brighton and Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur gets underway at 19:30 GMT, with Arsenal v Liverpool kicking off 45 minutes later.

The headline team news comes from the Emirates, where Mohamed Salah is only among the substitutes after his injury scare at the weekend.

Diogo Jota takes the Egyptian’s place in the front three.

Jurgen Klopp’s only other alteration from the win over Brighton sees Naby Keita drop out and Thiago Alcantara come in.

Mikel Arteta keeps faith with the same 11 players that saw off Leicester City on Sunday.

As for the match on the south coast, there are no real shocks on either teamsheet.

Spurs are unchanged from their 3-2 loss at Manchester United, which means starts for well-owned assets like Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski and Matt Doherty.

There are two alterations to the Brighton starting XI, meanwhile, one of which sees Tariq Lamptey drop to the bench – a now-common occurrence when the Seagulls play twice within the space a few days, such is Albion’s management of his minutes.

Shane Duffy and Pascal Gross both start as Steven Alzate also makes way.

Above: FPL assets sorted by ‘effective ownership’ in the top 10k. All bar Martin Dubravka of the players in green above are in action this evening.

      Gotta wonder why tf

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Seems crazy, only thing I can think of is there seemed to be a few deflections involved

        • COLLIN QUANER
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Makes no sense. Showing as no assist for the goal

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who got one then, Son or just no assist?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Impossible to be son

          • COLLIN QUANER
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Nobody apparently. Very weird

        2. banskt
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No idea why that happened. Clearly a Kulu assist.

          1. COLLIN QUANER
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Exactly

        3. Colonel Shoe 肝池

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Fuming. Would've been a nice little rank booster for my OR and my leagues

        4. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Interesting. Because when Foden scored his second goal vs Brighton it was a Jesus shot that hit Foden (who knew nothing about it) and went in. In that instance, it was a Foden G and Jesus A

          1. COLLIN QUANER
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Exactly. Awaiting the explanation from FPL. So baffled

            1. Zimo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              It's not up to fpl though. Someone here said Opta removed as an assist

              1. 1966 was a great year for E…
                • 15 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                FPL assists aren't the same as Opta assists.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Will be very interesting to hear explanation... Maybe they will add it after game?

        5. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Why, though?!

          1. COLLIN QUANER
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Your guess is a good as mine!

          Both Sofascore and Livescore still saying Kulu assist. No new tweet imo.

        1. Nightcrawler

          That's not nice

          1. JJO
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Why would he be?

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I am but as a TCer and with him often bossing bps I could do with every extra point

      6. Royal5

        Ffs Kane. Had Kulu there.

      7. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Need a Brighton goal to get Doherty in the baps

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          My hope exactly. Cmon Brighton just one.

        Mane goal offside

      10. g40steve

      11. mvtaylor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why hasn't Kulusevski got an assist on FPL?

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          FPL need to explain that one … most of us baffled … genuinely … come on FPL .. educate us?

        2. The Mighty Hippo
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          For reasons.

      12. JJO
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If they dont give that assist to Kulu that it doesn't make any sense to play this game.It cant be clearer rhen that

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

          I agree.

        2. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          THIS. Corrupt as f***

        3. Ross Geller
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agree. Assist is clear as a day. It’s obviously a bulls**t call from Opta or FPL towers.

      13. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1 goal is not enough Kane

        1. Simon69
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Which is why....

      14. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        brilliant from martinelli

      15. BeWater
        • 5 Years

        Glad I own Martinelli. He's fun to watch.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Great defensively too.

          Arsenal and Brazil have quite the player.

      24. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Kane should have got his 2nd yellow now for a clear dive. Yet he goes no yc!

      25. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Martinelli so good.

      26. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lacazette is good at linking up but has no confidence in front of goal anymore. Hides away from getting into goal scoring positions. Not good

      27. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        3-0 spurs please be Kane

        1. _Ninja_
