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.

        Erm... wait for news?

        Despite the certainty of many of our community doctors/physios, none of them really have any idea on the severity of his injury

    • Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm, shouldn't have captained Son. He never does well v Brighton. It was probably the only decision that I wasn't entirely sure of. But in my defense it was either him, mane, sterling, or ings. Grealish never came in my thoughts.

    • FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane and Salah captains past 2 weeks, picked the wrong one both times lol

      4. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Penalties save Kane & Salah cappers

        Group hug for us Mane & Son cappers 🙂

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

          To be fair.

          One was a pen, the other wasnt. Kane super lucky this week.

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Both were pretty soft. Can argue both were not pens.

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

              Salah had contact on the ankle

              The Kane pen was one of the worst Ive seen

              Its 6 points so nothing massive

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

            Whine all you want, poor refs have screwed everyone this season, get used to it lmao

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

            Salah drama queen pen.

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

        Son off

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

        Kane (C) big fail

        1. Saka Rice
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How? The other options were Son and Salah. He'll only get 1 or 2 points less than Salah and he beat Son

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

            Yeah it's just the ultimate simpleton trying to wind people up. Ignore him - he really is a complete tool.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Tools are useful though.

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

                This one isn't.

      7. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Is it time to get the highly overrated Soucek?

        1. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          (Let's be honest, everyone was expecting him to have scored like 2-3 goals by now. At least)

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

        Best 5.2 defender that's not Zouma?

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

          Cresswell

          1. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Have owned Cresswell numerous times over the years and he’s always been a massive let down

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

              Same here

      9. Hotdogs for Tea

        1. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I captained Harvey Barnes last week, son this week. Lol

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

        3 years, 4 months ago

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

        Another pretty substandard gw with 49.

        Need to take some hits now to fix this mess.

          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          35 for me. I may end up taking a minus 8 to fix this shambles

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Top 10k average is 47 and overall average 43.5 so wouldn't describe it as 'substandard' tbh

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

          Decent score #humblebrag

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          63 after baps with 10, C fail.
          No more players. Not bad after all.

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Saiss to Cresswell done.

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

        This will end 4x2. Loads of goals in the end

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

          8?

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

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

        ML leader still has players left.

      17. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        How can bale after 15min and 1 goal have all 3 baps? Something is rotten in that system

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

          Very low bappage

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          hasn’t missed open goals or given the ball away

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

          Mark owns Gareth

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

          Same for Jota stealing Salah baps. The BPS is broken

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

        Kane not near the BAPS

      19. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        So Salah(c) 16 points wasn't fail after all

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

          Always tidy

        2. HNI
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Always captain penalty taker this season, Will do Kane vs WBA over Son surely
