Ryan benched and Maupay not in squad as Potter makes surprise calls for Spurs clash

The two highest-scoring Fantasy Premier League assets feature in the late kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and Harry Kane (£10.9m) have plundered 134 FPL points between them in the first six Gameweeks of 2020/21 and both are averaging over 10 points per match in the current campaign.

Brighton and Hove Albion provide Spurs’ opposition this evening, with kick-off in north London at 19:15 GMT.

There are just two changes to the Lilywhites’ starting XI from the side that edged Burnley last Monday.

Sergio Reguilon (£5.6m) returns at left-back, while Erik Lamela (£5.9m) is recalled down the right flank.

Ben Davies (£4.8m) and Lucas Moura (£6.8m) drop out and are among the substitutes, along with Gareth Bale (£9.5m).

Dele Alli (£7.5m) is again not involved in any capacity.

While the Spurs’ line-up was mostly predictable, Graham Potter’s team selection was anything but.

Neal Maupay (£6.6m) is omitted and isn’t even among the substitutes, while fellow forward Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) is also absent from the Albion matchday squad.

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) drops to the bench, meanwhile, with 22-year-old goalkeeper Robert Sanchez – unpriced in FPL – making his first Premier League start.

Pascal Gross (£5.8m) is brought into the side in Maupay’s absence, with Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) set to lead the line for the Seagulls.

Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) is on the substitutes’ bench.

Potter explained his decisions before kick-off:

Kane and Son were the first and second most-captained FPL assets of Gameweek 6, with a combined three million Fantasy managers handing one of the two the armband.

They are similarly well backed in the top 10k, with 78.56% of the leading FPL managers owning both players.

Kane has been captained by 58.03% of the top 10,000 bosses.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon, Sissoko, Hojbjerg, Lamela, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Webster, Veltman, Burn, Lamptey, White, Bissouma, March, Gross, Lallana, Trossard.

    Roy Keane as an 8 year old kid, probably still terrifying

      You wouldn’t want to say no if he asked for your dinner money.

      My science teacher in school who was from Cork used talk about Roy as a school boy playing soccer and he used say things like "even though he was only a small little fella he used go and kick lumps out of the biggest meanest looking dude on the opposing team".

      Just born a fearless warrior i guess.

    Looks like the secret to success in FPL is to go as much template as possible. More template is better for your rank.

    Forget differentials. At least for now

      At the end of the season, the dream team is the template. So to get to that team as quick as possible surely is the best. So yeah, template by default the way to go if you want to win.

        13.7% ownership

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years

    Why hasn't Kane scored yet?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      It was close!

  17. el polako

    I bet Potter have triple Spurs and used his TC.

    With 2FTs, 0.2itb and a flag for Ings, I'm now thinking this:

    Trent, Ings, Jimenez > Zouma, Kane, DCL (-4)

    Is that chasing Zouma too much? Maybe Creswell or Chilly instead?

  19. Free Hat
    • 5 Years

    Dear Santa,
    just a Lamptey haul please

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dear Free Hat

      Need to ensure that Son scores his customary hattrick first.

      0-3, lamptey hatty. Asking for to much?

  20. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do we know what's happened to Maupay?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      tactical decision

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He’d be on the bench if that was the case. Suspect we’ll be hearing about an injury later this week.
