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.

      He’s on my bench. Was celebrating his points when I realised I didn’t press the BB button… after weeks of planning!

  17. Under my Cucurella

    Chose Mitoma on wildcard 32 and transferred him out for Gomez today

    1. Kane Train
      • 11 Years

      Haahahahah

    2. Sgt. Schultz

      Gross injustice

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Same, but for Enzo. Watch him still be in the doghouse today.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        You would hope that you won't get as unlucky as I have. The chances of what just happened were very low. I expect Enzo to start. Hope he returns for you

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      but why?

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Made sense. Gomez starting and Mitoma wasn't. Took a gamble on Mitoma in 32, was justified in moving him on to a more nailed Brighton mid with a FT after he was benched and Hurzeler suggested he would be benched again. Cannot predict an early injury would have Gomez hooked for Mitoma and Mitoma would get that opportunity and then score. Just incredibly unlucky.

        On the plus side, I do have Justin as my Leeds defender and have also got decent returns from Tav, Darlow and Hill

        1. Radulfo28773
          • 4 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          Think that I have Mitoma. Thought that I had played my BB but I hadn’t. Of course he is on my bench.

          1. Under my Cucurella
            • 10 Years
            1 month, 22 days ago

            That sucks! I always check multiple times before the deadline that the chip is active, otherwise I'd be worried that something like this might happen

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        I suspect it has happened to quite a few. Extremely unlucky. Typical Double Gameweek FPL drama. Hope you have had better luck elsewhere!

    Why's Welbeck decided to be garbage since I brought him in

  25. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Of course I chose Gomez. Enzo, Gross, Hinshelwood alternatives. Was it a bad injury?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Looks like we're stuck with a 1-pointer from him I'm afraid

    Best FW & MID to own for BGW34 aside from Bruno, Wilson, Rice, Bowen & Thiago?

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

      Thinking Cunha & Rogers, maybe Salah.

      I'll only be playing two forwards for sure, they're crappy, so Brobbey for the bench.

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

      Gyok is decent

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Nice shout - Newcastle are falling fast

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

        Can you rely on his minutes with Havertz and Jesus on standby and the Champion's League semi-final the midweek after?

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Watkins/Rogers

  27. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Someone give Gomez a magic rub so he can play next game.

  28. bitm2007

    Has any second tier team in any league ever played in the Champions League? There is a possibility of that being Forest next season.

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

      Wigan played Europa League when they went down, I think.

    2. JohnnyB10

        Did the transfer last night and kinda regretted it as could see them both starting one but for this to happen. Now Pedro out of squad haha.
