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.

    Kulu plays 90 minutes. Do we expect him to start next game?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I don’t understand.
    I think we can all agree without any debate that’s a kulu shot on the first goal. There’s zero chance it’s a cross or passe.
    From that, it’s obviously:
    - an assist if Romero touches it
    - a goal (shot is on target) if à Brighton def touches it

    What am I missing here?

    No kulu assist would mean Kulu’s action is not considered as a shot?

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

      It's an error that will be corrected.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You're missing that it may have took numerous deflections, from my count the initial defender closing him down blocks it, then it seemed to hit Romero, may have even hit dunk too

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years

      I could be wrong but probably FPL tower thinks that it was Kulu ➝ Romero ➝ Brighton def.

      In that case, since the deflection by Brighton def is not significant, it will be considered a goal by Romero without any assist.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 4 months ago

        In that case it would still be an assist so that can't be right

    4. BeaversWithAttitude

      I just rewatched this, having missed the first half. Totally a Kulu assist. And yes, I am an owner, lol.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Now we wait for the assist to be re-added or an explanation.

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Salah incoming.

    Maybe I’m wrong but bbc sport seem to imply Kulu got the assist for the first goal but not showing on Fpl?
