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.

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

      He was only on 10 BPS prior to assist being added.

  2. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aurier, Capoue, Lo Celso, Foyth.

    Villarreal look strangely familiar.

  3. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years

    Puts kane on 2 bp

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

      He was already on 2 bonus.

  4. Captain Haddock
    • 11 Years

  5. rnrd

    Noise growing up Haaland has accepted City’s offer

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

      Bad news for Kane.

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

      Rumours I think. He will be off to Madrid.

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't they sign a striker from South America that's supposed to be a wonder kid in Jan?!

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

      Injury prone

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years

    Thank you @ FPL Towers 😀

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

      Stupid error in the beginning. No need to give thx for correcting clear and obvious error.

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is son off form and if so why?

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

      He's playing fine. Small sample size is all.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        His form has dipped the last few games in fairness.

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

          Should have assisted Kulu and played some other key passes, I still think he'll come close to Kane in the next few.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Ok cheers maybe son less risky as just for GW30

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok cheers thinking of getting him but just bit concerned over recent form

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

          Kulu gives you scope to spend more elsewhere

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Very true although only looking at GW30

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

      Yes, not a free role as previously

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is that due to kulu ? Is kulu now more attacking than him

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          My observations tell me it’s a more rigid front 3 now with Kane not dropping as deep as before thanks to Bentacur’s good play recently

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Whereas before Son was drifting occupying the space Kane would leave when dropping deep

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Ok thanks

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu and Doherty stepping up have changed things a bit for him. No longer a 2 man show

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok cheers really hard to decide between son & kulu for GW30 only

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

      He is a little, but perhaps a little to do with how he's being played? I've seen him drop a bit deeper to collect the ball a few times, and whip it towards the right/center.

      Didn't watch today so can't comment. Doesn't usually get subbed early so consistently so could be managing something?

  8. jonnybhoy

    TAA on for 1 bap

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

      Not anymore 🙁

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

  9. putana
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    where are the smug cancelo owners at? Robertson got me double the points this gw

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Got both 🙂
      Defense saved me this week

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

      Congrats! I got my Wood and Cash points last week on BB and didn't sell Cancelo, since simply couldn't afford. Diaz looked like a possibility, but now I know I'll get Robbo.

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dam that Martinelli goal would have been huge

  11. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can we get a Tierney goal please

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

      I'd love that!!!

  12. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal fan here willing Martinelli not to score 🙂

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

      Double 'pool defence?

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

        🙂

      2. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        + I sold Martinelli for Saka on WC a few weeks back

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Martinelli extremely close

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Some very slows streams on here

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Full time! Lol

  14. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    96 points between top 10k and top 100k now. The gap starting to widen in those areas whereas most areas still seem really tight points wise.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s been around 100 points for a while. I’ve been stuck around 100k and always seem to be 100 pts off top 10k

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

    Don't want Arsenal to ruin double Pool defense in FPL. But, I want Arsenal to win this game. Let Klopp sub TAA and Robertson.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Game is over

  16. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    You know it’s going well when you play TC Salah and the only hope of rescuing your GW is a 15+ pointer from Joe Willock

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

      30 points is better than 6 though.

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

      You reckon he starts? Double gameweeks are strange business

    3. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm relying on a similar haul from Targett

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah has been really rubbish

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

      He did alright for a lad who couldn't sit down properly after the last game!

  18. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    FT - Salah non cappers rejoice !!!!

  19. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    James 0p -> Robbo 18p
    Coutinho 2p -> Kulu 11p
    Digne 1p -> Doherty 7p

    For -8, good moves!

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

      Very and 2 playing GW30. Chicken dinner.

  20. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Blow that whistle already

  21. BeWater
    • 5 Years

  22. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

  24. Pat Bonner

    1. sminkypinky

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

        Shrewd BB though. Nice one.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ugh that sucks. Cheers both!

  25. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Every time i watch Nketiah i spare a thought for the millions of kids that grew up dreaming playing up front for Arsenal. It's a complete joke hes almost at 100 apps for the gunners

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I feel.the same every time I see Lukaku playing for Chelsea.

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

      Apparently he gave up a promising FPL career to become a professional footballer for an actual football team. He probably regrets that now....

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

    Very happy with Salah/TAA/Robbo & just Ramsdale/White from Arsenal this GW.

    Tad better had it been a draw, but the Robbo assist and 3 bonus made the hit from Cancelo marginally worth it 🙂

  27. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just got DCL left to play. So effectively I'm all out.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      +2 points.

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

    117 with Dubravka to go.
    Wildcard pays off.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Great score

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

      Mighty work for a wildcard GW. Keep her lit.

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trent back on a bap

  30. putana
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago
