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.

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

  2. Champions League Varane

    Why did I captain Son

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

      80 minutes to go

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Still early days

      75 minutes left

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      After only 10 mins this is a particularly stupid comment.

    Kane only blanked once, in GW1.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I had him in GW1. Then got rid for Martial in GW2.

  4. Jimmers

    Stupid challenge by Lallana but Kane glanced and saw it coming and made a back for it.

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane already outscoring Salah

  6. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane 199 spurs goals.

  7. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is absolutely ridiculously boring, penalty after penalty after penalty after penalty zzzzzzzzzzzz

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

      Just get penalty takers

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

        I have all penalty takers bar DCL and defenders obviously! Doesn't mean the prem ain't boring though
        Kane owner too

  8. Flair
    • 3 Years

    Kane you magnificent beautiful beast, get in!!!!!

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

    Minus 20 in hits incoming, f**k this season

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hopefully no more goals so kane and salah cappers can laugh at son cappers together

  12. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Too late to bring in Kane and Bamford?

    Jimenez, Ings > Kane, Bamford -4

  13. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ownership of DCL, Grealish and Zaha when they get points getting annoying..

    Which is higher priority for transfer this week:
    1. Havertz > Zaha (and not bring in Grealish at all)
    2. Jiménez > DCL (and decide next week on Havertz replacement)
    3. Havertz > Ziyech

    4.5 4.0
    TAA Chilwell Zouma Justin 4.0
    Salah Son Havertz Soucek 4.5
    Kane Wilson Jiménez

    only 9k rank drop phew

    Please Son, repay my faith will yer!!

  16. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Absolut fail why the hell did I cap Son over Kane or Salah season in tatters

    ...

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Casual

  17. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    All my 3 subs come on this week - for Saiss, Hamez & Maupay.
    Gotta have playing bench this season.

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In principle yes but my 2 subs scored 3 points...

      I’m leaning towards 1 decent sub, 1 starter (2 pointer) and 1 dross

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      With everything so compressed - CL and EL games each midweek - it's essential to have a decent bench

  18. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I think I’d keep Kane from Kane and son double - if he plays he scores more often than not

  19. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane (c) off to a good start!

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

      Sherlock?

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It’s a rare good start with my (c), so I’m celebrating

  20. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is a joke. Not even a freekick and then he gets a penalty. I give up.

  21. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is penalty haha? Amazing. Suspend the league please

  22. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How do you concede a penalty without even being on the box ? Can’t see how that’s a pen

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    spURS aRE BeTTer AWay

    seriously? rubbish argument from a tiny sample size

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They were 3-0 up against west ham by now.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        tell that to the people looking at 2 game sample size

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      People on here are mad at times.

  24. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Get Grealish now or wait till after Arsenal game?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Now

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Might do Sterling to Grealish

    2. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is it one thing a decade of FPL has taught me:

      FORM over fixtures.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True that, so many hits to be taken
        Have to be my usual aggressive self now in taking hits

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This season is so up and down just go for it

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Another bizarre fluke of a game. Can’t bring myself to get him.

  25. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    For those without kane

    Who are your 9m+ players?

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      mane, salah, son

    2. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling who should really be KDB

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah Sterling Son

    4. Kip
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah Son Bruno Rash
      *sigh*

  26. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What is Kanes captain % for all ranks not top 10k?

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Me. 1/1

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane effective "local ownership" around 1m rank is 89%

  27. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Im ranked 400k

    Is that kane goal going to take me up or down tje rankings. Not captained

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

      Down for sure

    2. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      His effective ownership is 147%, that means you'll go down for every point he scores.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        EO 147% at 400k?

    3. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's 101% or so near your rank. So will be a small red

      • Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Go to https://www.livefpl.net/rank and it will show you the effective local ownership i.e, around your rank as well as Top 10k.
        Top 10k EO = 146%
        1m local ownership 89%

        400k I'd guess is over 100% but not hugely so so probably a small drop uncaptained but Livefpl is pretty accurate to tell you your live rank.

    4. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane (c) never in doubt.

      Also never a penalty though, that was clearly outside the area.

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

        He’d have scored the free kick anyway

      2. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't have been a pen if it was outside the area

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, that's what I said

      3. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Well if it wasn't a pen your Kane Captain would still be in doubt

      4. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wasn’t even a foul

    5. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane's really good at winning those cheap "fouls" love it

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

        His intelligence and positioning is the greatest aspect of his game.
        People incorrectly perceive it as ‘luck’

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

          Never did I ever think I would see Kane and intelligent rederenced in the same sentence

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

            You cannot equate "normal" intelligence (!Q) with footballing intelligence - very different animals.

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

              Surely it is a good footballing instinct rather than intelligence

            2. Bram
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              As proved by David Beckham - great footy brain but dumb as a box of frogs.

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Others “cheating”

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

        Diving

    6. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never have I needed Son (c) to score more than today.

      Will destroy my rank if he blanks.
