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 literally just lets the algorithm choose his team. Seems to work though! But leads to decisions like that which seems nuts but work out.

    Pascal assist, again. I picked the wrong CM, again. DCs, corners, FKs, pens. I prefer Fantasy Allsvenskan, 8-1, open play goals and assists, fun to watch

  11. JBG

    Was the 1st half this bad? The intensity and general play has been proper shite.

    1. kempc23
      • 11 Years
      3 days, 4 hours ago

      Huh? The second half has been a great watch. The first half was awful.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Been a great game if you care about more than fpl

      1. EffPeeEll
        • 6 Years
        3 days, 4 hours ago

        Low quality in my opinion.
        Spurssy supporter?

        1. EffPeeEll
          • 6 Years
          3 days, 4 hours ago

          still great ;)?

      2. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 days, 4 hours ago

        Only had Welbad. So didn't care about FPL.

        There's been such a lack of intensity imo. I don't know, must be me.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

    • Moon Dog
        3 days, 4 hours ago

        I felt that equaliser like a gut punch. Heart-breaking.

        I think I want Spurs to stay up now. I dunno when that happened.

        Spurs stay in the bottom 3. You love to see it, oh yes you do!

        1. OverTinker
          • 7 Years
          3 days, 4 hours ago

          No we don't

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 days, 4 hours ago

            Yes we do!

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 days, 4 hours ago

        If Spurs go down I will probably be laughing for days. Not even a rival, just don't like the club because of their fans. Think they are one of the teams in the PL.
