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.

    What are folks doing with TAA if you’ve kept him this long?

    1. Niho992

      Ditching

        Thats what I’m thinking of too... Might just downgrade him prior to city so i have some funds for after the IB to upgrade elsewhere.

    2. Gandalf

      Keeping for now, more pressing matters and looked good the other day

      1. FC Hakkebøf

    3. Do I Not Like Orange

      Out. Kept this long because I thought with Sheffield & WHU at home he had to get some points, but was too useless even for that.

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping, apart from this weekend fixtures look good and I don't need the money.

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

    Kane non owners must be pretty pleased so far

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Given how terrible Spurs have been I think Kane owners/captainers will also be content so far.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He scored?

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

        Spurs look woeful

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not considering I captained Son, no.

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not really, he's on for 9pts. Most have him captained so I'm 18 down already and it's only HT.

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

    Spurs can't get the ball off Brighton, embarrassing

  4. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Terrible from spurs really.. awful game so far

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

    Lamela is so bad football player.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Correct

    2. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grammatically not. But correct lol

  6. thetommy14
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin to Reguillon good move?

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

      Not fully nailed and fixtures turning quite soon so would avoid

      1. thetommy14
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My bad worded it wrong haha Bellerin in and Reguilon out.... good?

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

          Ah ok, don't particularly like the look of his fixtures and would have thought low ownership. Chelsea or West Ham options look better

          1. thetommy14
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Alright thanks

  7. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Unable to watch the game. Who's playing betta? Kane or Son?

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

      Both invisible.

      Kane scored a Fernandes type penalty

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

      both look lost

  8. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Reguilon to be replaced at half time?

  9. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Whats the deal with Maupay absence? The video above was pointless

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

      We speculate Covid together with Connoly but we don't know

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

    Looks like Son is struggling because he has to chase Lamptey

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

      He is struggling as he is just sitting up top almost as a lone striker and Spurs have absolutely no control of the ball. Whenever they get it they just launch it forward and Brighton win control and then attack again.

      Son is literally just being left alone further up the pitch.

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

    I can sense a repeat of Newcastle game the way Spurs are playing

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

    Jose not happy expect changes

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

      like Subbing Son at HT?

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully Lamela and Ndombele off. Bale and Lo-Celso on

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

    Brighton are an entertaining side.

    They play some good football tbh

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

    Next GW Son looks like the best captain

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

      Agree

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

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

        Let's do it

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane. Better against busses.

  15. FPL_trail_runner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Still not getting Kane...

    Rank almost doubled today to 600k

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

      Nice work, impressive without Kane, though imagine if you did have him!

  16. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane Scores and my rank drops even though I own Kane

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

      140%

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

      This

  17. jai1212
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is my order of players I want to replace, do suggest me if I should change it:

    1. Jimenez
    2. Saiss
    3. James
    4. Sterling

    Have 2 FT.

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

      Saiss has to go imo

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      4

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

      Saiss over Jiminez

  18. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay to Bamford or Wilson?

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

      I am struggling that too. Probably Bam Bam he plays for the better team

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        agree. Bambo is not the problem, Leed is too good and fixtures proof

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

      Willy

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

    Another foul on the edge of the box. VAR?

  20. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need a second attacking return from Kane ASAP so I can bank a 24-26pt captain and not have to watch any more of this trash.

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

    Bale IN
    Lamela OUT

    Come on MoU.

  22. Tomas_brolin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is cresswell worth the extra over coufal?

    Thinking Saïss to cresswell but if Antonio is a doubt it makes attacking returns less likely

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

      Maybe, maybe not. But that .5 million may be handy.

  23. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    OMG Lamela..... horrible.

    2. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any chance of Bissouma and Lamptey getting points?

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

      They will another point in 2nd half
