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.

    Wow Kane 😆 it wasn't even tight

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Praise be.

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

    Kane back to giving up

  3. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How can Kane miss a chance like that?!?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      xG must have been 0.85

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I own him, that's how...

    3. Salan
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I don't believe it's a 'miss'.

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He didn't even have to shoot, he could have walked the ball in (almost)...

  4. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    That miss should be -100 bps...

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Lol

  5. Salan
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    No way for Kane missing this one, it's an empty net. Intentional miss.

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

    That was a right angle. Most players would miss from there

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

      Tight not right

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

      Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

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

      Most Sunday league players maybe. Not Kane

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

      Most professional footballers score from that angle. Kane scores 99 out of 100 times there.

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Get the protractor out

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 10 months ago

            But disagree that wasn't tight at all it was just a bad finish

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

        Maupay is useless. Very reluctantly keeping him for Norwich in 31.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Nah, ditch now

      • TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Kane just warming up

      • Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Maupay needs to either score tonight or he’s straight out my team, 7th minute yellow! Love it.

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

        Who would the assist have been for the Kane miss?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Sanchez

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

            Noone.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 10 months ago

                Craig?

            2. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              No assist

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

            Klopp completely stressed out.

            1. Kun Tozser
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Could be his starting 11 next season

          • Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Armband given to Son now!

            1. TopBinFC
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Why that?

          • zon
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Planning ahead while watching The game. Got BB, FH left. 1 FT. Looking at GW33 to possibly BB. The lot is:

            Ramsdale Dubravka
            TAA Cancelo Doherty Coady Livra
            Salah Havertz Saka Raphinha Willock
            Kane Laca Broja

            Livra + Willock -> Johnson + Dewsbury-Hall (-4)

            Gets me two players for GW30 and frees up funds to upgrade Coady to James later. Does that seem reasonable?

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

              Um, let's face it neither are players you particularly want. Can you stretch to Barnes or Madds?

              1. zon
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 10 months ago

                Can't do that, no. Johnson is good to field in nice fixtures, but both will be mainly benched.

          • Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years

            What channel is Spurs game on?

            Kane -89bps already

          • Zladan
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Kane will be nowhere near a bonus point even if he scores at this rate.

          • TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

              3 years, 10 months ago

              Blimey news to me I didn’t even check I just assumed he would start lol

              • 14 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Why? I haven't used it yet. I'm saving for Daniel Amartey's monster score.

          • FPL Daniel
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Come ooooon Arsenaaaalll!!! We need Liverpool and City to drop points

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

              Lol Chelsea have no chance. More chance of them finishing outside top 4 than winning the league

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 16 Years
                3 years, 10 months ago

                Chelsea have the absolute best fixtures and are motivated to play to the max. Either for the new owners or for their potential new clubs in summer

                1. how now brown cow
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 10 months ago

                  Not sure what that means.

                  I reckon they'll be 10 points at least behind champions.

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

                  Even if Chelsea win all their games they won't get it. Need Man city to drop at least 9 points AND pool to drop at least 8 given their superior goal differences. Not happening

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

              I'll take a 0-0 with a Ramsdale pen save

            Pivotal game week,

            In real football too.

            Which ever way you want to look at it.

            Have fun!

                Already shouted numerous times, but unfortunately not that

            Plenty of time but it’s looking a more Hyde than Jekyll performance from spurs…
