Lloris and Trippier return for Spurs as Valery benched

Tuesday night’s team news was mixed for Fantasy managers as some options returned to their respective sides, while others did not.

Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are back in the Spurs side to face Brighton.

Their goalkeeper missed the trip to Manchester City with a small injury, while Trippier was rested with Juan Foyth (£5.0m) deployed instead of him at right wing-back.

It looks like a back-four for Spurs tonight with Danny Rose (£5.8m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) joining Trippier in defence.

Those invested in the Spurs attack will be pleased to see that Son Heung-min (£8.8m), Fernando Llorente (£5.1m), Dele Alli (£8.8m) and Lucas Moura (£6.8m) made it into the starting XI.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) is also in the side but might be playing a deeper role alongside Victor Wanyama (£4.9m) with Eric Dier (£4.7m) on the bench – and Trippier’s may also impinge on his set piece potential too.

Meanwhile, Chris Hughton has made six changes to the Brighton outfit that drew 0-0 at Wolves.

Bruno (£4.4m) and Gaëtan Bong (£4.4m) drop out for Bernardo (£4.2m) and Martin Montoya (£4.3m).

Glenn Murray (£6.3m) drops out for Florin Andone (£5.0m) to lead the line, while Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) come in for Solly March (£4.7m) and José Izquierdo (£5.9m) on the flanks of the attack.

Perhaps a surprise to some is the fact that Watford’s two-man strike force has stayed the same for their second match of Double Gameweek 35.

Both Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) and Andre Gray (£6.0m) have kept their places after starting against Huddersfield.

Meanwhile, Jan Valery (£4.1m), who missed Southampton’s trip to Newcastle through illness, is fit enough only for the bench.

Nathan Redmond (£5.4m) retains his starting berth while Shane Long (£4.6m) comes in for Danny Ings (£5.4m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.1m) replaces Josh Sims (£4.4m).

“There are a few fresh players after an intensive game on Saturday. It’s important for us mainly in the first row that we have good sprinting quality, and I think the two guys deserve to play. They played a good game in the second half against Newcastle and that’s why they get the chance today.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Spurs XI: Lloris; Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Trippier; Wanyama, Eriksen; Son, Alli, Moura; Llorente.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Dunk, Duffy, Montoya; Stephens, Bissouma; Locadia, Groß, Jahanbakhsh; Andone.

Watford XI: Foster; Masina, Kabasele, Cathcart, Janmaat; Pereyra, Capoue, Doucouré, Hughes; Deulofeu, A Gray.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bednarek, Stephens, Yoshida; Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Højbjerg, Bertrand; Redmond, Armstrong; Long.

    JWP better do something tonight

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      as a right back?

      1. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly. It's all Valery's fault. He ruined two spots in my team.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      JWP and Gray over Long and Deulofeu for nailedness

    Fastest ever premier league goal. Or so says my app.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. Beats Ledley King's goal for Spurs.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Now there was a player - retired before his prime.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          He never had a chance because of injuries. Dude literally didn't train at all because he was such a crock but was good enough to still play the games.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            He would have been one of England's best ever central defenders. Real shame.

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep confirmed, should get bonus points for it

    3. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      How many secs? 7?

  3. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    8 (eight) seconds to score

    Quickest Premier Goal ever!

  4. JuulKrapuul

    Deeney to Long bet works out, nice!

  5. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Thank you Masina and Valery, worst transfers ever!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery 1pt cameo would be sweet today.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It would 🙂

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery still has 3 good fixtures on paper ahead. Just unlucky a bit with him being under the weather.

      Masina?!? on the other hand ?!?!?

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That's great, but I also have Robbo, TAA, Laporte and Doherty.

        I was only going to play him this GW.

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    90+3 and 8 seconds.

    Watford defenders...

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Watford lost me four clean sheets in the space of 15 consecutive seconds this GW

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm loving it as a non-Watford defence owner.

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Same here. My ML rivals have Watford defence, I decided to steer clear. They have not kept a clean sheet for a good long time.

  8. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I can’t claim anything for the fastest Prem goal ever other than that I took a hit to get the keeper who conceded it. Il settle for that 🙂

  9. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Time to panic Watford. Bring on Success!

  10. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Never get Foster in for a DGW. Under-performed in the last one as well.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Now you tell me..

  11. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Foster penalty save please

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes please

    2. SM001
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Dream on

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Preferably Valery coming on and missing it 🙂

    4. Deus
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Two

  12. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A Brighton clean sheet tonight would be infuriating.

  13. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Son playing wide on the left today. Moura wide on the right. Alli and Llorente are the two who are spending most time in the opposition penalty area. Eriksen sitting a bit deeper.

  14. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I like Wanyama. Pretty rubbish FPL asset in general but important to his team.

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He’s a decent pick in the past as a £5m enabler.

      Usually popular with casuals in a Kanté type way.

  15. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Long first on bench

    Mendy in squad

    Pep is going to play him for sure right?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Oh for sure. I've got him too and no doubt my first bench player will go crazy tonight too

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      doubt he is fit

  16. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Brought in Foster and Cathcart for a -8

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch

  17. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Alli ruining eriksen assist....

  18. Baked baines
    • 9 Years

    Southampton have the quickest goal and Hat-trick in premier league history!

    1. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      That was Mane who got the hattrick wasn't it?

      1. Baked baines
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Correct

  19. Atom&Humber

    6 seconds actually! incredible

    1. Wild Rover

    2. WVA

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ha ha awful defending

      I counted 7 Mississippi’s.

      Who was that Watford defender and why not pass back to Foster.

      Wait I saw Aubameyangs goal v Watford!!! That’s why!

  20. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Odds on that Ryan gets a YC

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Heaton / 10

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on how long it takes for Spurs to score

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If Brighton keep Son/Eriksen out man....

  22. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years

    Ryan timewasting after only 10 minutes...

  23. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    FPL website doesn’t appear to be acknowledging points?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah.. Broken somehow

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Broken

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      6.8 seconds broke it

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Long scored in 3 straight GWs

      FPL can’t handle that as not logical

  24. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Game is sooo brutal ..I made a very poor decision between gray+yoshida instead of long+taa...wow this stings a lot.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Oof, that's a bad one.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You were actually considering Long? 😕

      Oh, come on, he doesn't even start games!

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I considered him too to be fair but I couldn't use the extra cash to upgrade my defence to anyone decent.

      2. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeh more of an enabler, was hopeful of some minutes but was put off mainly by the doubt of starts.

  25. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years

    Did long break FPL site

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Yes. Chap on night shift at fpl towers had Foster and Cathcart double up and went ballistic and smashed up all the tech.

    Brighton attacking set piece. Danger for Spurs.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Brighton corner.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Poor corner.

  28. Syd.

  29. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How funny would it be if FPL crashed and actually lost all of its data permanently? I’d lol, I bet plenty wouldn’t 😀

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would find it funny. it is only a game.

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes and we each were able to manually enter our teams for past weeks to fix it. I’d be on 2500 points

      4 years, 11 months ago

      A couple of years ago they deleted my son's team. He'd been playing for years (admittedly I had been "helping" him for the first few). Anyway, they decided that kids now needed parent's permission to play, but because he'd registered so long ago, they'd never asked for a parent's email address. And hence without emailing either him or me, his team disappeared at the end of the season. Proud track record of 4 top 100K finishes gone.
