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.

      Its quite a long distance. Surely keeper wont get caught out three times

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsdale won't be happy

      1. Fintroy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        He will, irrespective of the score he will still get BPS......always does....

      wrong clock is right twice a day.

      Dont make a statement sound factual when you're just guessing

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        yes it was never factual just an educated guess, but logic goes out the window if you want your player to start

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          "Salah will not start"

          That is a statement meant to be taken as fact lol. Its not like you said "I dont think Salah will start", you legit just amde it sound like you can see the future lol

      2. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nah it's not. A broken clock is though.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      Amazing

    3. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Which poster there attacked you? Think you might be being a touch over sensitive.

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        just joking

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Tbf it was an opinion that turned out so far.

      And I didn't attack you either, who did?

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Well they should apologise for getting it wrong.

  2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    As a Kane TCer the Salah benching is helpful but he could easily come on and haul. He played what, less than 30 mins v Leicester and should have scored at least 2 so Kane could easily blank. But have to hope!

  3. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Had a dream last night, The Gunners are 2-0 up at half-time, Salah forced on due to this scoreline and scores a 2nd half hat-trick for Pool to win 3-2!! Doubt all you want but it's written in the stars!!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Did you dream winning FPL as well?

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nope, would never dream anything that far-fetched!!

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Ahh a well-controlled dream ...

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      I preferred Martin Luther King's version.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Martin was a truth sayer, I am a soothsayer...big diff?!!

      2. NorCal Villan

        Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream or GTFO 😎

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      If he's capable of a secindvhalf hatty he should be starting. But I hope your dream comes true and Tierney scores two!

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry Saka & Laca!!

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I'll take two Tierney assists!

          1. Krafty Werks
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Sorry to disappoint but Martinelli & Odegaard wit the assists my man!!

  4. Fintroy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah Triple captainers, don't worry....if you also have Ramsdale at least you will get at least 2 BPS from him...irrespective of the score......

  5. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Quite looking forward to playing my TC in either 33 or 36 on someone other than Salah. Can still make up more points than I lost by just (C)ing him in 26.

  6. 03farmboy
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you rather have Diaz or van dijk??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Diaz more exciting but riskier in mins

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, this. I’d go Diaz

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          (Though I’ve gone Robbo over both and would again)

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      You're on the bench

      1. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Dammit.

    3. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You're on the bench lad

  8. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Just noticed Diaz starts again!

  9. Neevesy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I've TC'd Salah, but even if he doesn't come on, still an improvement on the Mane TC last year lol

  10. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    With any luck Arsenal will take the lead and force Salah to be brought on

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Well it's not as if Mane, Jota and Diaz are not capable of equalising

  11. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Considering some of the Mane and Dunk (lol) TC in recent years. Getting a flukey penalty in a poor performance with an injury (and maybe some time tonight) is not bad at all

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's the 80 plus pointer that rest of us got from Salah TC that irks them.

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Well they shouldn’t have been an idiot then and missed that golden opportunity / enjoy the wc points they got

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You're not playing against previous seasons though

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Potter is such a troll, stop resting Lamptey he’s your fittest player!!!

  13. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Triple Arsenal
    Triple Spurs
    Triple Liverpool( If Salah gets minutes)
    What could go wrong?

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Kane and Son fun time!

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’m going to be devastated by anything less than 30 points

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Jota

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      This! If he gets a return it would be brilliant!

  16. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A Kane tc brace or 2 returns would be massive tonight! Come on !

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Let’s goooook

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Which is an interesting typo haha

      2. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        You can’t say that mate

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Perfectly set up for a joke with regards to his high profile teammate 😆

        2. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Shite I spat out my water 😆

  17. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I tossed a coin to decide whether to play BB or TC in GW26, I got BB.

    That coin flip has cost me 31 points so far, with whatever sanchez scores tonight putting me further in the red, and anything TC Salah scores tonight pulling me back to parity…

    Either way that fecking coin has cost me dearly.

  18. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    One or two trainings for Salah was never goong to be enough to start at this level. As I said yesterday, his teammates are more than capable of stepping in.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He's not, not match fit.

      He's injured. And had light training for hope...

  19. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Who is on pens for Liverpool?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Fabinho, I'd say. And then Mané.

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yep Fab takes them

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Milner, Salah, Fabs, I think is the order.

  20. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone know if Willock has been back in Newcastle training?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ready to play apparently (fpltips Instagram)

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years

        Cheers.

    Salah can't be a genuine option from the bench,. He's more likely there foe psychology impact or a last ditch impact sub for 20 mins!

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe he just couldn’t get a ticket

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Tight security on the gates at the Emirates

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Amateurish psychology.

  22. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How did Kane miss that!?!?

  23. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Kane LOLLL

  24. asr
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Kane sitter :/

  25. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    WTF Kane!

  26. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    No way that's a shot Kane lol

  27. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I'm sorry but Salah TCers only have THEMSELVES to blame for not using it in GW 26

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      But the wildcard has worked out better over the 3 weeks…

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It cost them 28 points minus whatever it yields when they do play it. WC likely made them way more than that.
      We vastly overrate the TC chip.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on your team.

  28. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Var check for Brighton red?

  29. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Bamford too punty?
