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.

    There's no time for resting players at this stage of the season. I think Spurs will start Eriksen and Son against West Ham.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Amen for that!

    2. Van der Faart

      Poch always takes the next game as the most important. Only after it does he think about the one after. Full strength again on Saturday

  2. FPL Maldini

    Has Eriksen’s winning goal BAPS been added already?

  3. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    16 point BB ; Foster Hojberg Valery Bennett. Got 24 last year..

    On the upside I saved 0.5m which allows me to do KdB>Mane for Friday.

  4. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Had to chose between

    1. Murray -> Gray (gw35)
    Eriksen > Salah (TC36)

    2. Murray -> Firmino (gw35)
    Eriksen -> Mane (TC36)

    Feel like this is gonna burn badly! Yes I chose option 2 🙁

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

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

      I’m not 100% sure on this but I think it’s not been adjusted yet for his winning goal. Hopefully someone on here can clarify.

  7. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any chance of a Jimenez 13 pointer tomorrow?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Quite high I think

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

    Who's got the highest genuine bench boost. Not bench wankery.

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

      My bench woul've been Ryan (played Foster), Wilson, Valery and Yoshi. 21pts

      Would've been p%ss poor without Ryan!

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan Deulofeu Doherty Valery is mine. Fairly happy

    3. Teahupo'o

      33. Ryan Deulofeu TAA Cathcart.

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thought the following would do better: Foster Jota Doherty Valery.

    4. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan duffy Wilson yoshida. 25 could have been 30+ with yoshida

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

      31. With Jonny to go. Deulofeu, Bertrand, foster, jonny

    6. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan, Duffy, Dunk, Gray

    7. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      38. However I played Valery over Vert so not entirely sure if I’d do that usually

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Ryan Gray Vert Duffy

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

      Mine would be Foster (5) Duffy(8) Højbjerg (4) Bednarek(2)

      Alright i suppose

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

      40 - Ryan, Valery, TAA, Deulofeu

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years

        Although to be fair, I would have bought fodder instead of Deu if I wasn't BBing

        Also it's 41

    10. West Hammered
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mines been shocking.. Ryan llorente yoshi mariappa

    13. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Duffy + Ryan making up all of my points.

  9. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    87 with Sterling C, Aguero, Laporte, Doherty, Jota & Jimmy to play, need a huge result tomorrow 🙂

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      74 here with Jota(c),Jimenez,Doherty,Aguero,Lacazette left.

      Badly Need a Sterling no show or blank. ML leader has Sterling (TC) so any hail could mean curtains for the league.
      His lead is down to 21 now from 110 3 weeks ago.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm in that ball park

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

      The bragging isn’t even subtle!

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      95 with Doherty Laporte Sterling Kun Jimenez(c) left to play

    4. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      94. Laporte Doherty Sterling Jota Aguero Jimenez(C) Lacazette to go.

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

    Only Jimmy capo hattie can save my GW now...

  11. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Need Jimenez to get at least 8 points tomorrow now to warrant the hit taking Vardy out.

    Goal and 2 BAPs does the job 🙂

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

      If he is not your captain you don't want pts

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Really?

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

          Yes, 110% effective ownership

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

            So every Jimi point decreases your OR, might help in your ML though. Depends on your priorities...

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

            In the top 10k... if you're not in the top 10k then it's a decent chance that it is a little lower than 100%.

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

      Exactly this

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hopefully Sterling benched tomorrow

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

      Yes, hopefully taken off on 80 mins for a rest on the bench after a hattrick

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

        Ehhh no

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Would be great

    2. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Im sure they will bench their best player in the toughest game they have left...

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

      Absolutely zero chance

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

        Yep
        Chasing title & Manchester Derby !!

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

    That Gray goal could cost me my ML league and moneyyyyyy

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

      So annoying that isn’t it, i hate Gray

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

      Should’ve got Gray then

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sorry bro 🙁
      It cost me Yoshida CS too

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

      Sorry mate to hear that. On the opposite did wonders for me. It's FPL after all, nothing is over until the last whistle

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

    Early thoughts next week. Can I save it lads or no Salah is dangerous?

    Ryan
    Laporte Robertson Doherty
    Redmond Son Eriksen Stering Mane
    Kun Jimmy

    Bench: Gray, Duffy, Johhny

    0.1 ITB.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks,

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

      No Salah is not dangerous. He's not that highly owned.

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

        what if I want to climb the rankings?

  15. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Deulofeu is the sole reason for my BB to be good.
    Got 26 points from:

    Foster Deulofeu Yoshida Valery

    Pretty happy with it

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Well done.

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

        Cheers mate 🙂
        Hope it's going great for you.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Look up.My situation all hinges on Sterling blanking and Jota doing the business.

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

            😀
            I have Raz ©. Only one of us will be happy then.

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              As long as Jota matches him and I can stay with in 20-30 then get lucky with Salah(c) next week , could still manage it.

              I’ll be hiding behind a sofa though.

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

                Ha ha
                GL 🙂
                Jimenez Jota Doherty Aguero & Raz © for me. (Got broken KDB too 😛 )

                1. The 12th Man
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  If Doherty gets a goal, there’s another differential for me. Plus Lacazette. Those two up gains that Pogba and Rashford plus Neves

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

                    Yeah. But he's not that attacking Force anymore i guess. Hopefully Jota does the job for us 😉

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

      Yeah, the debate Redmond or he went bad for me at the end however you can't win them all I had him on the Free Hit and he didn't deliver. Something you win something you loose

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

        Absolutely.
        Flag didn't help either

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

      Nice. 28 here with Lloris, Gray, Yoshida, Duffy. Anything over 25 is a huge success!

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

        That's excellent mate !
        I sold Duffy & Eriksen so bit annoyed 😕

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Well done. Wish I’d gotten him!

        Awesome 😮

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

    If Sterling gets a rest tmr Son(c) won’t hurt so much.

    Would take respectable points from Jimenez and Aguero, and a Pogba goal and assist.

    Can always hope

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Your best player rested in the most important game?

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

      Sorry but Sterling is playing

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

        Yeah he will. A blank more likely to hope for then

  17. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Who wins this H2H?

    A) 36 points + Jimenez + Jota + Boly

    B) Kun (c) + Sterling + Laca + Kolasinac + Ederson

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A as long as City don't score 5+

    2. Now I'm Panicking

    Oooooo Gray is a rubbish pick!!!

    It’s just like when Richy got suspended for Walcott!!!!

    UNLUCKY GRAY NON OWNERS

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      This is just mean spirited.

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

        Us Gray owners had to endure a lot of trash talking in the build up.

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

          3 baps as well?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Must have been tough going. Glad you're OK now.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Probably good to start for another few weeks!

    4. FPL DONKEY
      • 6 Years

      I got Deulofeu instead

  20. Gentle_Turks

    No bonus for Erikson???

    1. Brosstan

      Who?

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

    United to go against all odds and deliver on their “apologies”, with a narrow win in a low scoring game. Bet.

    Would actually take 0-0 though too

      That game can be anything but 0-0 😉

    Eriksen and Kun out Salah and Zaha in for a hit?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd wanna keep Eriksen, any other way?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Aguero too actually!

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years

          Oh my, now confused. I am scared from Salah explosion and I think Zaha will deliver till the end. He is playing for a transfer

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah Palace fixtures do look tasty.
            Tough one without seeing the rest of your team

    Shouldn’t Eriksen get winning goal BAPS?

      Was booked and had a terrible game before the goal.

      Might be enough for 1 bap

    I like ragabolly’s website cos it lets me know that I’m still on a green arrow despite all these bragging with high scores...

      Sorry 🙂
      I'm not bragging, after Sane TC & relatively failed FH, I'm just happy that at least BB worked 🙂

    Picking Redmond went just as predicted. Blank and blank. Just like Walcott and Barkley earlier this season. People never learn.

    Am I allowed to be provoced? ML rival getting almost the same points from one player (Gray) as I get from 9 players (Riks1, Duffy, Dunk, Valery, Cathcart, Son, Llorente, Foster)

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

      That's pathetic Luck.
      Sorry mate !

      Rival Gray 7pt goal

      Me Gunn 6pt CS + baps gone

      13pt swing and only about 28 ahead

    Laca Capttaineers will be the real winners tomorrow.

    Current LFC dilemma: I own Mane & TAA and would like to triple up. Not keen on breaking up front 3 (Aguero Jimmy Wilson) for rotatable Bobby.

    1: KDB & Son to Salah & £5.8m?
    2: KDB & Eriksen to Salah & £6.4m?
    3: KDB & Trippier to Robbo/VVD & £9.6/8m?
    4: KDB & Duffy to Robbo/VVD & £8.3/5m?

    Salah would likely become TC.

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

      I would go the Salah option

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

        At the expense of Son or Eriksen?

    Any chance of Eriksen getting a bps?
