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.

    Yeah pretty unlucky for Son owners there

    As a non-Kulu owner I am very happy that if that with the rule that if that had come off a Brighton player it would still have been given as Kulu's goal, but as it deflects off Romero, it is a non-goal and just an assist

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

      Massive 2 point seeing lol

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

      2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 3 Years

        Gotta take one point at a time!

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

        Could be even more points... the assist has gone too! Not sure where... surely FPL gonna put it back.

      Kulu just misses a sitter

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

        Incredibly good value for money isn't he. Even if people have Son and Kane, you'd think there is room for him based on price alone.

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

    Kane, Romero and Doherty here

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'll take a Kulu assist and a Doherty clean sheet please

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

      This will probably finish 1-0

    5. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Kulu miss 1v1

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

      no Kulu assist yet on FPL

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

        Guaranteed to come though. It's straightforward

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Was added then got removed

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

        Taken away!!

      4. JBay
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        There was but it was removed for some reason. Has to come back though, nothing questionable there.

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

      Kulu sitter :/

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        That’s Kane & Kulu sitters, come on FFS put it in the netting

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

      As a Kane and Kulu owner this was painfull

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

        So was Son losing his assist and Kulu his goal. Thought it reflected from Brighton defender.

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

          If it wasn't deflected it was never going in, so the son "assist" was never real.

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

      Does Romero always play this high with Bentancur in the team? He's right up the pitch

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

        He loves getting forward

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

          Thanks. I try not to watch spurs often

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

            I have a season ticket but often feel the same!

    10. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Kulu assist removed

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        FFS, did anyone see the goal and confirm who got the assist?

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

          Yes Kulu shot and it went in off Romero, who knew nothing about it.

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

          It's 99.99% going to be a Kulu assist

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

        Why?

        Surely it’s an assist? Unlucky not for it to have been his goal..

        1. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Should be his goal actually

    11. FCSB
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Son fail

    12. sandman58
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Wtf??
      Where is the Kulu assist??

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Was it going wide?

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

          Surely wouldn’t matter? For all FPL knows it was a cross/pass.

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            No it was a shot, clearly. It matters. There's plenty of precedent for this.

            Though I really have no idea if it was on target, personally.

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

              How does it matter?

              It’s simply the touch before. If Kulu comes out after the game to say he fizzed in a pass, do FPL have to change their interpretation?

              1. Deulofail
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 10 months ago

                I think I'm having a stroke tbh. Let's move on

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

          No, will surely get added.

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

            It was added and then taken off, though. Strange...!

    13. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Who wants to play club penguin?

    14. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      KULU assist. WHERE?

      1. sandman58
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely outrageous
        Cert assist

    15. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Did Son get injured?
      People making it sound like a disaster...

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

        He doesn't seem to play on the shoulder of the last man anymore. He's fulfilling a role in Contes system which is not suited to him IMO

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

      Kulu assist removed because it was a shot and not a pass?

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Surely that shouldn’t be a thing outrageous

      2. mox81
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nah, it'll be added as Kulu assist eventually

    17. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Salah looks comfortable on the bench

    18. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Can't wait to get rid of Son.

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

        Sitting deep in the pocket is really not his game

    19. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Salah warming up

      Hot cocoa, blanket, and Mane voodoo doll hot water bottle

      1. g40steve

        LOL

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years

    20. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Smith Rowe so unfortunate to be sidelined recently. He's my favourite Arsenal player! Lookin forward to his winner off the bench tonight

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Anders Limpar for me.

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

        Use him or lose him Arteta!

    21. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Take Son off. Someone adopt him.

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

        Scared, Potter?

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

          A bit. 🙂

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

      How about not giving it to Dier?

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

      First Ramsdale save.

      1. jason_ni

      Kane wasn’t even fouled, diver arse

    25. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      KULU assist can not take this long to add it

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Was very clear assist. No doubt they will add. In the twitter section kulu assist is given

    26. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Kane is awful at FK's

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

        Ward-Prowse has no peer in that department.

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

        But he scored a deflected one in 2015 so must be great

    27. Wirtzel Gummidge
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's almost as if Tyler wants to jinx us from these corners!
