The eighth match on a busy Saturday of Premier League action sees Brighton and Hove Albion take on Tottenham Hotspur, with kick-off at the Amex at 17:30 BST.

Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to the side that lost to Liverpool in Gameweek 5, with Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) replacing the injured Michel Vorm (£4.9m) and the benched Harry Winks (£5.5m).

The club reported that Vorm sustained a knee injury in training on Friday.

That means Kieran Trippier (£6.0m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m), Danny Rose (£5.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.4m) have been recalled to the Spurs line-up after missing out (for various reasons) on a start in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Inter in midweek.

Dele Alli (£9.0m) is fit enough for a place on the visitors’ bench, meanwhile.

Brighton’s starting XI is unchanged from the team began the 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday night, with Pascal Gross (£6.8m) missing out with an ankle injury.

Florin Andone (£5.0m) is among the substitutes for the first time this season having built up his match fitness over the last fortnight.

Harry Kane (£12.4m), still owned by around one in four Fantasy Premier League managers, leads the line for the Lilywhites. The England striker is only averaging a chance every 44.8 minutes in away league matches this season.

Glenn Murray (£6.5m) had the best goal conversion rate of all Premier League strikers going into Gameweek 6, having scored with four of his nine shots.

No FPL midfielder has registered more assists than Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) this season.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Stephens, Bissouma, March, Propper, Knockaert; Murray

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Lucas, Son; Kane

    Tripps does not get an assist for that surely?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He does

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Duffy hand ball means Tripps assist i just find that strange.

    2. Hy liverpool

      Salty

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not at all i just find that one strange.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Obviously does.

      You have been playing this game long enough to know this. 😛

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I don't care how long i have been playing POP i will never get how some of the assists are awarded.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          What can we do. We'll win some and lose some.

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      Has to after they gave Sanchez that "assist"

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This one is clear cut and happens every time though. Sanchez assist was a joke. Shaqiri """""""""assist"""""""""" for the first goal today is another absolute joke.

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I thought that was a joke also and i owned Alexis at the time.

    5. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If Sanchez does then so does he!

  2. pundit of punts

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Easy assist for Trippier 😆

  5. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years

    Thank you Trippier mate

  6. FPL Scoop

    • 8 Years

    Mendy Zaha to Trippier Mitrovic for free?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kane has Huddersfield and Cardiff next 😯

  8. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jammy trippier assist ?

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    When Harry replaced Salah.

    1. Yoshioka
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just awful.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        😆

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      😆

    3. SackWenger
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very good

  10. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    harsh pen

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Clear pen

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Clear pen. Almost appeared as if Murray punched the ball, like he was a keeper.

    3. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Murray intentional arm extended way beyond a normal position

  11. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What was he thinking there!?!

  12. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    No way is than an assist ?!

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should be according to rules

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It is.

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      But if he didn't handball it, it's going in

  13. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Very strange for Ryan to go to his left with Kane’s recent history.

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably thought he had no chance of saving one of those ones fired into the left of the goal

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane has a completely random penalty pattern. He randomizes before the game starts where he is going to place the penalty.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        ? whered u get this from? he almost always goes bottom left

      2. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just making $&%# up.

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            U sure trippier plays both Cardiff and Huddersfield with Barcelona midweek.?

              • 13 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Doesn’t matter when you have WB on your bench 😉

              1. HamezMace
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Leave someone else on your bench

              2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Not sure how people still consider be as a bench player lool

                1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
                  • 8 Years

              • 14 Years

              Good point.

            3. pundit of punts
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Not sure but confident as there's a international break coming up when trippier can rest and Aurier is awful.

            4. Dyballer
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Aurier will probs play against Barca

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nice move. Congrats!

        1. pundit of punts

      Kane 25%
      Trippier 26%

          Top 10K?..

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Top 10k stats are irrelevant at this point.

          1. moment
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Not for some of us

            1. Shah G
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Exactly..

          2. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Agreed. Top 1k avg more relevant 😎

    7. Dickie1898
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still not sold on Maddison, 0 penalty box touches today. Zero.
      Not gonna bang one of those in every week is he.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Points are all that counts mate.

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Can’t be chasing points though. Need to know where the next bunch of points are coming from not where the most recent ones came from.

            Just look at Mané. Or are you one of those people who still thinks he’ll outscore Salah?

        2. Meinhoff
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Deja vu

        3. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Might ship him out for Richarlison

        4. Typo
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Suit yourself. Cant ignore the string of points.

        5. MTPockets
            7 years, 3 months ago

            He's incredibly annoying.

          • HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            If you believe in eye test, over stats, Maddison is a great player.

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              The only stats that count are points. Trends are predicted outcomes.

              1. HamezMace
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                I agree, all about the points at the end of the season.

          • GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Who's getting the points for similar price in mids?

            1. HamezMace
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Well Richarlison you have to assume would have more if he had been suspended.
              Fraser also a good option.
              But I’m a Maddison fan.

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Yes. Not many is my point. Points make prizes. I got rid of Madison on WC. Might get him back but trying to minimize hits to stop a further slide.

                1. HamezMace
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  I also lost him on WC, it was between him and Rich.

          • Yoshioka
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Alternatively: just imagine how many points he's gonna bag when he gets even MORE involved...

          • polis
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Every week has been the same. People don't like/trust/rate Maddison, but the points keep ticking in.

            You don't need hauls. If a 6.5m mid gets you on average 5 points a week it's 190 over the season. That's unrealistic of course but he's their creative outlet and on set pieces.

            I'm in.

          • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I'm more interested in the points to be honest

            Guess he can improve his stats

        6. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Believe it or believe it not, if you read the rules thats an assist.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            This one is undebatable..

            If people are going to whine, look at Shaqiri's """assist""" for the first goal today. No one cares because no one owns him, but its ridiculous that its been given.

        7. TaiwanHC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mendy to Trippier a no brainer?

          1. Mortiis
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yes it was

            1. TaiwanHC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Still is?

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                Still is is right. Might take a hit for Mendy and Pereira to Trippier and Shaw.

            That was the plan but his assist will force an early transfer tonight..

          1st WC Draft, with Kane instead of Kun! Frustated with Pep's rotation & can see Kane exploding again soon, thoughts? 0.6 ITB for changes

          Hennessey, Hamer
          Alonso, Robbo, Holebas, Doherty, AWB
          Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Fraser, Hojberg
          Kane, Mitrovic, Jimenez

              Looks fine if you don't want Aguero, although can't see why you wouldn't.

                Worried about his minutes really, just surpassed 60 mins today & always a rotation risk with Jesus around. Kane has some great upcoming fixtures

                    Fair enough. Each to their own

                It's good. Get rid of Salah and have Kane and Kun though if you like.

                  So many possiblities if losing Salah, however I can't bring myself to do it

                Robbo > TAA ,Holebas/Doherty > Trippier

                Pretty much no chance of backfiring with those players going out

              Aguero or Kane
              Mane or Salah
              Salah or Hazard
              Liverpool defenders Yes or No

                Barca in between hud & CAR is worrying for benchings.

                  Already done, I have this one Chelsea fan mate who always gets him in at the right time and I get him in at the wrong time - last wreks 40 point swing pissed me off so much I got him in straight away to show him... Now he'll blank 😎

              Kane is absolutely essential next two

              Downgrading Mendy and getting him in for zaha

                Aguero, Kane, Hazard, Alonso as your big hitters?

                Going without a Pool mid?

                It’s always a key decision point of the season: when to get Kane in. Am not sure it’s still not too early

                How are you generating 5 and half mil by downgrading a defender?
