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.

    Remember Son Heung Min? Was he ever a player?

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

      Yes he was before I got him

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Why does live score give Kulu an assist?

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

      Don't mention the war.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Oh it's like that.

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I don’t want to talk about it

  3. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Having Son when everyone else seems to be on Kane/Kulusevski is starting to feel very stupid.

    1. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I know - I took hits to get him a few weeks ago when I could have just Kulu cut price...

  4. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years

    Kane 2 baps despite misses

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

      A Son goal, Kane assist would be just perfect

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

      Probably none when CS lock in

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No pain no Kane

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

      He's not the only thing

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Has anyone mentioned why Kulu wasn't given the assist?

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

  11. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

      This is the most bizarre fpl moment if kulu assist not given

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

      Not coming I should imagine

  12. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Where's the Kulu assist?!

  13. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

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

      We thank you for not owning this week mate.

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

      As they often say, fpl is mostly about timing and/or patience

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

      He just scored you mug

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

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

      Only reason I got him was u didnt

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

      You sold him for Son?!?

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else stupid enough not to get Kane? If you thought you could cover him with Son, then that's just moronic.

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You didn’t get him then?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Get who?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Son people are bad at fpl and son arent

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

    Romero with his customary YC

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

    Looks like that Kane shot deflected off Mac Allister 😐

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

    When will the SON rise?

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

      In the morning mate.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

            Shuper shaints

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

        We don't need witch doctor, his curse is more powerful.

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mo warming up already

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

      Let’s hope so. My TC

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Saka shite.

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

    I thought it was rule 137 of fpl, Kane scores and gets 3 bps regardless of the rest of his performance?

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

      This

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

      He didnt last game, did he ?

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

      I'll welcome the extra 6 points

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

    Salah coming on at HT…?

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

      Probably around 60 mins

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

        Just saw him warming up there. Seems early no?

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

        I think Salah will immediately come on at HT.

  22. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Gone from a Kulu goal and Son assist to a Kane captain goal for all my rivals

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

      Was never a Son assist. Open your eyes.

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

        Would have been a son assist if kulu got the goal

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

      Seems like you can learn a few things from all of your rivals.

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

      No idea how this all unfolded.

      Before that it went from Kane missing an open goal under. I pressure whatsoever too.

      Game swinging back and forth but only Kane owners gaining points as a result.

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

    95 goals in 139 away games in the prem - crazy rekord!

    Now overtook Lampard

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

      Lampard was a midfielder though 😉

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

        This is true, and a good one at that!

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

        Twice as many games

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

      Performs better in decent atmospheres I see 😆

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

        Haha

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

    Why oh why do the Arsenal fans insist on willing Xhaka to shoot? I can only assume it's actually the Liverpool fans with synchronised megaphones egging him on

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

      Got a ping on him tbf

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

        Not really. Can hit a deadball, but his open play ping has been hitting the car parks for years

  25. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Romero the new Cancelo?

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

    We don’t buy TAA for his defensive capabilities (or lack there of), VVD and Alisson have him covered in that department…

    But blimey… that man cannot defend to save his life. Martinelli hardly a world beater and he has danced past him all game.

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

    Kulu will get an assist of a goal. Keep calm.

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

      It was already added why did they remove it? Who runs this company? Mark alone?

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

        Mark has Kulu 😆

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

      I'm V Grateful either way

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      When?

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

      But they added the second assist already, why not add it then. So strange

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

    Fplt twitter mentions romero goal kulusevski assist.. So where is the assist??

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

      Scroll through the last few pages.

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      The guy who manually inputs Kulu assists on FPL fell asleep

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

      Fpl towers having a fag break

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

    So any word on the kulu assist? I’ve seen the goal and I just don’t understand their reasoning to not give it.

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

      If it's Bruno, Kane or KDB it's an assist any day

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

    Pick 1 to replace Josh King

    A) Benteke
    B) Gelhardt
    C) Dobbin
    D) Gayle
