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.

      prefer A

      I think Hazard's (and Chelsea's) goose is cooked for this season, and I'm a Chelsea fan
      Yesterday was our easiest game and we blew it

    So it was either Long or Llorente as my replacement for Deeney but you can probably guess which one I went with.

    1. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Long

      It's a case of not being talked out of it. I was set on Long and Laporte in for Duffy and Deeney.
      I went Llorente and Cathcart. Which now seems foolish of course.

    Benching Digne is a really tough pill to swallow. Typical wildcard backfire.

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

      BB or nothing this week

      at least you still have him, great option for the next couple, especially GW37, 4CS from last 4 home games

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

        Yeah, I kept him around on my WC for that reason

  4. FPL Pillars

    Brighton hahahaha, mad lads.

  5. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How are Spurs defenders getting more BPS than the brighton lads ?

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

      Passes.

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

      They are making loads of passes and taking loads of shots.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        They’re not getting +BPS for hitting row Z mate

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

          Vert had a shot on target. Toby also had one blocked.

    3. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Passing bonus maybe

    4. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      1000 passes

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Blocked shots are classed as shots off target and - BPS

  6. tucaoneo

    Spurs lack pace. Man City hangover.

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years

      Will man city lack pace?

      1. tucaoneo

  9. Richd

    Remember when we captained Duffy a week too early ?

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

      Imagine if it was 135 minutes without conceding last GW...

      Beans on toast for everyone!

      Dreadful decision we were told as Brighton cant defend

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

    Brighton clean sheet will sum up this season perfectly

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

    Plz choose
    A) Pogba to Salah
    B) Murray to Agüero
    C) Pogba to Son

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

      Have Mane

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years

    2. El-Kloppico

      B

  12. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    This game is poised for a Wanyama goal

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

      If it ruins all those Brighton CS then I am all for it. Only got Duffy myself so hurts loads of Ryan / Duffy owners.

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

    I’m 24 players into the game week and so far my only attacking return is 1 assist 😮

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      wow

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Same, Salah?

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

        No - Aguero

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

          Ouch, I sold Vardy and Hazard!

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

      TAA and 22 blanks so far too

    4. Says
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      17 players for me, and also only 1 assist

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      23 players in...Aguero and TAA assist

      A few CSs though

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

    Brighton don't have a CS today. There's another 45 minutes.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Correct

      We know and I have triple spurs attack so could do with a goal

      But they’ve shown a lot more fight than last week and already have one CS this week. 75% of the way to two!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This, no chance

    3. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm praying....

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

      It'll be a very Chris Hughton way to stay in the PL if Brighton manage to grind out 5 successive 0-0s in their last 5 games...

  15. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Vert back for GW1 after that elbow?
