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.

    McCarthy, Nyland
    Trent, Cancelo, Saiss, Justin, KWP
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Soucek, Podence
    Davis, Ings, Jimenez

    Thinking of activating my WC. Worth doing so?

    Reasoning: Wolves fixtures getting tougher, not sure City is worth keeping, Ings flagged, need to address Davis and Nyland.

      I'd honestly wait to see if the IB is going to go ahead, and if it does, wait until it's over - the risk of multiple COVID-impacted players/teams has got to be significant.

        Oh. Thank you. Honestly didn't know that was a possibility.

  2. Nightcrawler

    Honeslty if that was the other end or if that was utd we k ow for a fact theyd have given it

    1. Pedram

    I think the pen rule should be changed.

    (C Kane owner)

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What rule?

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

    That was probably a pen

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If a little hand on Bats shoulder is pen from Lamptey, this one surely is.

      Or maybe neither.

      But not one or the other...

  5. OPTA FPL

    Lamptey or Bisoussma on pens? I have both of them today

    Dear Mr. Heung Min

    Can you please score a goal this evening as it would enable me to climb up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ranks.

    Please be advised that as I have elected you as the captain of my team this week, any points you score will be doubled when my total score is calculated.

    With this in mind, if you could repay my faith by putting in an exceptional performance, that would be appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Vazza

    1. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think the correct way to address him is Mr Son

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

        Ok thanks

  7. Sun Jihai

    So glad my differential punt on Kane (c) is working so far!

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

      Maverick

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

      Casual

  8. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Score Lamptey. Make daddy a happy man again.

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

    So out of Kane, Salah and Son I chose to captain Son.

    Add Saiss, Mitchell and Martinez. It’s been a tough week.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same here

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Be happy if you have only tough week.

  10. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey at 5.5 playing for Wolves at RWB would be fun I'd imagine.

  11. Davros
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If in doubt, captain the penalty taker. Sad but true this season

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

      the reason why we should captain Kane over Son
      and Salah over Mane

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        On average I think that will play out, given VAR this season

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not taking into account today's matches who would you rather have in your team starting GW 9- Kane or Bruno? Have Son from Spurs, no United. United has better fixtures.

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

      Kane

  13. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Where is Maupay?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At home

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In bed.

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

      we think

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

    Is Kane the best English footballer to have debuted in the 21st century?

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

      Rooney??

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

        He looked so old when he came up i forget he debuted in 02

  15. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs rubbish can't keep hold of the ball it's all Brighton

  16. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Too much to ask for a Lamtpey assisted March goal ?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, though so...

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

    If a player earns a corner, and a different player takes and scores directly from it, is an assist given?

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

      no

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

        Interesting...

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just checked only happened 4 times in the PL

  18. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son captain mega fail already ffs

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sheeeiite, has he gone off?

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nahh, still a lot to play.

  19. noone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lamptey is a pleasure to the eyes, hopefully, he'll get returns soon too. Happy to own him tbh

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need another Kane goal.

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

      One more goal and 2 assists upcoming

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      *5 goals

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry for the late shared happiness but Kane il capitano juhuuuuu

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Still only on for one point more than Salah

  22. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Brighton have 3 players on the left wing snuffing out Son.

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If they are for Brighton they must be on the right wing no

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Tottenham awful so far

  24. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea letting Lamptey go without a buy back clause was a strange one that's for sure....

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe a buy back clause would have inhibited the move. Its not very common in the England.

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

      Maybe thought Reece James was a long term prospect! but keeping that clause wouldn't have hurt them

  25. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best pick for next 4?

    A) Zaha (LEE, bur, NEW, wba)
    B) Jrod (MUN, ful, LEE, bur)

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jrod is the better player.

  26. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    this game does not suit Son

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

      Cue Son goal

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

        reverse jinx 😉

  27. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin a good alternative to Zouma/Chilwell or just safer to go Chelsea?

  28. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo, Chilwell, Saiss (Dallas, Mitchell)
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish (Soucek)
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Best way to use my ft and 0.8 itb?

    A) Pulisic > Rodriguez
    B) Pulisic > Zaha
    C) Saiss > Cresswell
    D) Saiss > Kilman

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

    Lamptey has 15 points but has risen 0.2.

    Strange one
