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

    6. Rainer

      Trippier should have had a 12 pointer.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why should he?

      2. JD @JDCochran2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        won't have a clean sheet with Danny Rose bombing down the flank and not defending in the last 10 minutes. Shocking...even after Poch said to stay back

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

      Why are people cheering? Anyone owning Knockeart?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cleanie gone

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

        Think Spurs lost their CS.

      3. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Spurs cleanie gone.

      4. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably because Trippier didn't get his clean sheet points?

      5. Champione
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        only good for Knockaert cappers because of EO

      6. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years

          Yeah, reeks of desperation

      Thank you Brighton, you lovely Seagulls.

    9. Zladan
      • 8 Years

      Who are the highest priority players to bring in?

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        - Richarlison
        - Groß
        - Vardy

        Those are the boyos I'm interested in.

        1. Darth_Krid
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Wait until tomorrow, but Vardy looks good.

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

          I'm eyeing a Mane/Wilson to Vardy/Rich 2 FT for next week.

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

          Cheers. I have Vardy and Richarlison is definitely on my agenda. Will keep tabs on Gross - maybe after City inplace of a non-performing Richarlison.

        4. +
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I started the season with Groß but I'm not sure how you could possibly fancy him now

          1. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Mainly because of fixtures but I've only just noticed his minutes played this season. What's up with that?

            1. +
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Injured today but I think he gets rotated mostly for tactical reasons

    10. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Can I just ask, what the hell could Kane have done to warrant 38 bonus??

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Shots on goal.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          What a fraud

      2. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        coz shots straight at the gk is deemed a shot on goal.

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

      In your sweet little leprechaun face Trippier

      You like dat baby

    12. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Duffy assist. Just lol.

    13. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Another Duffy return. Move over Alonso

    14. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane will have to take responsibility for that miss and the lost CS.

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

        Rose's fault. Missing his man and then joke recovery attempt.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Rose has been poor all of second half. Lucky assist.

    15. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Knockaert (5.5m) looking interesting for the upcoming fixture run.

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely. A midfield with Fraser and Knockaert leaves so much cash to splash elsewhere. Add Jiminez up top...

    16. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is that Goal Goal Assist for Duffy last 3 matches?

      Hard to ignore.

      1. Aftermath
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Goal,goal&assist, assist.Duffinho!!

    17. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      IDEAL

    18. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Did Kane just snub Lamela?

    19. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ryan is a beautiful man. Denies three Kane goals and helps shatter the Spurs CS.

    20. Darth_Krid
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think pointless consolation goals in injury time are the single most frustrating thing in FF!

      1. Sponge-worthy
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Well they did almost tie it in the end.

    21. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why so many haters of Trippier lol ?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        'cause I was going to bring him in, but went with Walker instead, so didn't want him to score more than the option I went for.

        1. The Mastermind
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          100%

        2. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Sort of for me... although I went Pereira. I didn't even think I was being clever. I just don't trust Poch, and Pereira is so attacking.

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

        Salty non owners

      3. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        His face annoys me and the fact he has a french sounding name

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

          I'm french, how am I supposed to take that ?

    22. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus the hit for Mendy to Trippier looked incredible, turns out I made a net loss of a point

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Who would have auto-subbed for Mendy?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Cedric

      2. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Almost never worth -4 for a defender

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It was more of a -2 or -3

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

        This... I’ve got AWB sat on my bench also.

    23. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No more than a consolation goal anyway, no need for this fuss.

    24. WDT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane you believe it!? Brighton Rose from the dead and Spurs Trippier’d up in the dying minutes. Get in my Son. What a Dier indictment on their defensive capabilities. They will need Moura composure next time out and shouldn’t Dele-berate over making changes. Vertonghen.

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

        Well done lad.

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

        You left out the keeper...

        1. Vinyl78LP
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Alli-lujah

        2. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Couldn't vorm that one into his sentence.

    25. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thank f**K for that Brighton goal. That Trippier assist was BS!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        How was it BS? He earned the penalty via a handball off of his free kick?

    26. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wolves defender it is.

    27. Dele
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs so wasteful, knew Brighton would score. Fuming.

    28. Champione
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane shooting again. Who's bringing him in?

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Very tempting. Look at those fixtures!

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

      Trippier to Duffy for an 4pt hit?

    30. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He gets a lot of stick on here but Jay Eggeresdork tipped Knockeart this week

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Unintentionally top of the last two pages lol. Is that a first?

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Scored from a late late counter and TBH it could have been anyone. Nothing maverick about his 'tip'.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I count maybe 3 players in the wide who would've scored that. It was a good tip

        2. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Bit harsh imo but I understand where you're coming from. Would you be saying the same if your 5.5 pick scored against a top 6 side?

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I wouldn't get anywhere near Knockeart no matter how punty I'm feeling tbh

            1. Forza Papac
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Fixtures are excellent after City next week. If he was 0.5 cheaper I'd be seriously considering getting him in.

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

            Think people are being a bit harsh on you. Knockaert also had a couple of other good chances, including one GREAT chance he should have buried. Definitely an interesting pick for the upcoming fixture run.

            I/'d not have brought him in for Tottenham/City, though!

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

        If he didnt bring him in, no one cares.

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He's ok and sensible advice. Just find the whole patreon £ for fpl advice thing quite unfortunate.

          1. Forza Papac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            If people are willing to pay for his advice what's the problem?

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 3 months ago

                That there's a marketing and expert-hype circle between this site (once just a place to chat about fpl and stats) - fpl, his and others.
