Another Gameweek 33 ‘doubler’ is in action in the 5.30pm kick-off. This time, it’s Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Seagulls make the trip to north London to face relegation-threatened Tottenham Hotspur, who are now under the stewardship of former Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi.

TEAM NEWS

The teamsheets have so far not turned up any major shocks for Fantasy managers going big on teams playing twice this Gameweek.

After the head coaches of Bournemouth and Leeds United named unchanged teams in the 3pm kick-offs, Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler has followed suit.

Kaoru Mitoma warms the bench again, with Diego Gomez and Yankuba Minteh preferred on the flanks once more.

As for the Spurs team news, De Zerbi has made four changes to his side following the 1-0 loss to Sunderland last Sunday.

Rodrigo Bentancur is back after a three-month absence and straight into the starting XI.

Yves Bissouma and Xavi Simons also come into the midfield, while Kevin Danso replaces the injured Cristian Romero at centre-back.

Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Richarlison all drop to the bench.

Also among the substitutes, somewhat surprisingly, is James Maddison. This is the first matchday squad he’s made in 2025/26, thanks to a knee injury sustained in pre-season.

Maddison has trained this week but De Zerbi had urged caution over his recovery in Friday’s press conference.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Kinsky, Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Gallagher, Bentancur, Kolo Muani, Solanke, Simons.

Subs: Austin, Dragusin, Palhinha, Richarlison, Maddison, Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Spence.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen, Wieffer, Van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu, Ayari, Gross, Gomez, Hinshelwood, Minteh, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Igor, Rutter, Baleba, Kostoulas, Mitoma, De Cuyper, O’Riley, Veltman.

      I concur but Welbeck can score as many as he likes.

        The more teams still have something to play for the better for the last few GW's. we don't want any teams on the beach just yet.

    Welbeck over DCL fail, 9mins gone and no brace from Welbeck

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Feck it, season well and truly over then.

      Finally

    2. g40steve

      DCL took 95 mins so let’s give him the first half

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        95mins for DCL is the same as 10min for Welbeck though.

        Im only joking here btw, if people don't understand

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          😉

      Leeds ban on my ML has not started well

  4. Sandy Ravage

    BOU v LEE on Wednesday will be a rollercoaster of emotions as Darlow, DCL, Senesi & Truffert owner

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Hopefully a senesi & bogle brace

      0-0 written all over it. I have Tav so a def con from him would be a bonus

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      I picked my Leeds guys for today and Bournemouth for mid week

      Anything else is and has been a bonus

  5. Nomar

    Spurs actually looking fairly decent so far.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      You'd think that they score at home to BHA

      Otherwise they truly deserve relegation

  6. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Gomez down

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Could be going off looks distressed

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Going off Mitoma coming on

    2. tutankamun

  7. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Unlucky for Gomez

  8. Supersonic_

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Injured

      Did Paraguay qualify for the world cup?

      Probably the real reason for the Romero tears last time out

  9. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Mitoma owners finally catch a break

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Many will have sold him

      Some for a hit

  10. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Oh fantastic, cheers Gomez

  11. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years

    There goes my FH punt

  12. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Absolutely typical, of all the players, yep

  13. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Mitoma to save my season!

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Calculated 😎

      We owners are playing 5d chess. Always knew he'd come on after 20 mins 😎

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        never in doubt 😉

  14. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    where is Miguel Sanchez who’s strongly suggested Gomez ??!?!

  15. Kingy109
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Very unlucky for Gomez owners

  16. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Well.. after missing the deadline and having Gordon rot, I feel a little better now. Would of been either Gome or Gross.

  17. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    4-5-1 on FH.
    Treble Arsenal defence
    Double United and Liverpool mid.
    Bowen up top.
    Differential - KDH?

  18. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    How bad was the injury?

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      100% ACL

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Ah ferk that's 1 less dgwer

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Looked bad, won’t be playing next game, already a player down for the double

    3. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 22 days ago

      He looked in an unbearable amount of pain 🙁

    4. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      In pain but no stretcher. Hobbled off after going over his ankle.

  19. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    ML leader has Gomez & Petrovic on BB. Need this luck to continue to close up a 60 gap with FH.

  20. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Sorry Spurs fans, I hope you stay up, bit come on Brighton!!
    Need that CS and Welbeck

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Come on Welbeck and Spurs!

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    The funny thing if Spurs do drop

    Then Levy will have been the stable CEO when he had his hand on the rudder

  22. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Doing well so far but forgot to move my DGW captain from Bruno to Haaland. Could be curtains for me.

  23. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Hecke why not shoot

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Besides Senesi I've had 3 6 pointers so far

    Hopefully Welbeck contributes

    Could be a monster scoring week, across the board

    Dare I say 150 + points for some?

    Or is that too bullish

  25. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Wtaf not go in

  26. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    FH in tatters, chose Scott rather than Tavanier and then Gomez off injured.

  27. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Seems awfully flat at the spurs game considering the team is desperate for points.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Flat is an improvement over trash
