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.

        MITOMA

      11. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        3 days, 7 hours ago

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

        1. Kane Train
          • 11 Years

          Haahahahah

          Gross injustice

        3. djman102
          • 16 Years
          3 days, 7 hours ago

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

          1. Under my Cucurella
            • 10 Years
            3 days, 7 hours 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
          3 days, 7 hours ago

          but why?

          1. Under my Cucurella
            • 10 Years
            3 days, 7 hours 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
              3 days, 7 hours 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
                3 days, 7 hours 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

            • 10 Years
            3 days, 7 hours ago

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

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

          • 5 Years

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

        1. Moon Dog
            3 days, 7 hours ago

            Thinking Cunha & Rogers, maybe Salah.

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

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

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

                    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.
