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.

    Don’t get stressed guys. Remember Sessegnon v Reading.

    No matter how late it gets something magical can happen.

      He broke FPL site and this one too. Epic moments

  4. XabiAlonso

    This is quite funny how poo my players are

  5. FPL Daniel

    Looks like we captained Duffy on a wrong week and Daniel benched Redmond the only GW in history when he will score a brace. Played Deeney.

    Seriously considering taking a break once again and pause it next year.

    Too bad I missed the year when Chelsea dominated, it's totally related when your team goes well you do well in FPL.

    Thoughts?

      I’d probably quit too if I started referring to myself in the 3rd person.

      There's more braces for Redmond

    So. Rage transfered out Duffy and upgraded him to Bennet with the money I had left over from Deeney to Wilson. The same Wilson that got sh%t load of points the wk before.

    So

    Duffy on for 2nd cleanie this wk.
    Wilson got 1 pt.

    Valery got no pts.

    Jwp got 2 pts.

    Now I ask ya wtfnf?

      Fantasy football innit

    Why are my players getting booked. It's a conspiracy.

    I've had enough, I'm getting a creme egg.

    1. Richd

      I have a box of 12. It’s dangerous.

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

        I got 3, don't think I'd have the self-control for 12.

      Easter's over...gotta wait another year now! 😉

        They get repacked as snowballs or something in the winter

        Cadbury's Caramel eggs are where it's at...!!

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      What is the creme actually made of?

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sold Dunk for a hit. Go me

  12. Flynniesta
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Dunk to Cathcart for a -4 wasn’t one of my better moves 🙁

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

      I did the same. Is Cathcart injured ?

  13. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Gerard Deulofeu is clearly asking for some medical attention with his painful gestures

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

    Feel like ditching Eriksen (could get Sterling or Salah, have Son Aguero Mane Robbo from the top3 club’s attackers)...

    But would also need to downgrade Vardy...

  15. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Double Brighton and double saints defence. This is painful to watch. FPL will make me grey.

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

    Radical idea, 0-0 draws should count as wins for the away team, would fix a lot of boring games.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Erm. Counter productive I’d have thought.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This lol, they play the same number of home and away games all season. It would just change what games they park the bus..

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It would make away teams not bother attacking.

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would create more boring games with teams setting up with 11 men behind the ball. Stupid

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

        Would also like a rule where a team has to keep a minimum (2 or 3 maybe?) players in the other half. It's too congested.

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

      Wouldn't that just make away teams more defensive, and therefore more boring?

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Possibly the worst idea I have ever heard

    6. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Better to give extra points for goals scored

    7. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      How about 0-0 draws count as a loss for both teams

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

        yes! even better

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Would they not just agree to let each other score at the start so it is 1-1 straight away?

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          The team ahead might change there mind though, wouldn't trust anyone with that

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Ha ha - that would be funny 🙂

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

      ...or it'd make EVERY game boring since all games have 1 side who is away from home and they'd be incentivized to park a 10-man bus behind the ball.

    9. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      wtf man... wtf

    10. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If anything they should change the scoring to give a point for a shot on target, 5 for a goal...that would get them shooting at least. Very typical of American sports where the attention span is 10 mins

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        My goodness this one's even worse

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

        I think it's pretty good that american sports are frequently adapting their rules to incentivise a sufficient amount of attacking and scoring.

        There are loads of things football could do to make 0-0 a lot rarer than it is.

    11. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If we want less defensive games then have bottom 5 that all get relegated instead of 3. 3 points become more important

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

        that could help

      2. Nomar

        I like this.

  20. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 8 Years

    This is starting to look a lot like the Chelsea-Burnley second half...

  21. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Digne and Ryan benched. No bench boost.

    This game sucks.

    Everything sucks.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      That’s a punch in the cojones

      He could have had a goal, assist and 3 baps on Saturday, so it's just unlucky.

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Spurs are getting near the box and just making dreadful passes and shots every time. Lord have mercy.

  25. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years

    The Brighton players I bought for a hit then sold for a hit have been taken over by body snatchers:(

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    Gettings on.

  27. teneighty

  28. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Tempted to do Eriksen + KDB to Sterling + Bilva for a -4

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

      I will do both to Bilva and Mane i think.

  29. Fpl Richie

    Owning Eriksen sucks.

    1. Nomar

      Aye.

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

    Spurs need to get someone running with the ball into the box and cause some panic in the Brighton defence. They keep trying clipped balls over the top or crosses from out wide and it is food and drink for Duffy and Dunk
