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.

      Captained Mane when I had Salah too, and a total of 10 players playing for me :/

    I’m only just getting interested as we approach 90 mins.

    Most of my Grealish and DCL returns came in extra time

      'Garbage time' points as they say in the NFL

    Well thanks a lot Son.

    Season over. Can’t do anything right in this pointless game.

      Dry your eyes mate. I know it's hard to take but Son will score loads next week.

    Lamptey will be yellow flagged all week and casuals won't buy. Perfect.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      And he won’t play next week... real perfect

      If he’s not already first sub you ARE a casual.

    How many points did Grealish or DCL have at 80 (even 90) mins? Plenty of time left. Get a grip.

    Anticlimax as a Son and Kane owner.

    Needed a Son goal but not to be.

    At least I had Salah (C) so not all bad.

    SON PLEASE!

  11. Brosstan

    I give up. Captained Kane over Son last week. Now Son over Kane.. had it with captain fails

    1. Weak Become Heros

      Son away. Kane at home.

      Consistency is key.

      And patience too

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

        Counts for nothing

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

      Game is literally a joke. Minus 20, why not, nothing goes right anyway

      Underlying stats all pointed to Salah

      Thats all i have used to pick my captain each week. Its the only thing going somewhat well for me this year

      1: 40
      2 : 10
      3: 4
      4: 16
      5: 22
      6: 4
      7: 16

        Who you captaining next week?

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

          Have Antonio if he is fit.

          Doesnt look like it though

          May well get Kane in for a FT for the captaincy.

      After playing this game for 15 years now I am of the opinion that it’s nearly impossible to predict hauls so you are probably better off just sticking to one player and continue to captain. I know it’s less fun but you will probably accumulate more points. It’s the same for defence. Had Leno last week and benched Lloris and vice versa this week (in draft) so would have been better just sticking with same keeper.

  12. Ha.

    The only one Kane is punishing is captainers

  13. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane lost all bonus now

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      In fairness he only got a penalty. Think pens scored should not be same as scoring from open play. Maybe 3 points and less points towards bonus but that’s just my opinion.

  14. LucasMoregametime

    Saiss and Hamez to Kilman and Grealish?

  15. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    TAA > Reg, 1 CS for Pool so far, not acceptable for the most expensive defender in the game.

  16. tiger

    Son off

  17. Twisted Saltergater

    70 all out. Not bad considering I missed the deadline 😀

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

  29. Kaneyonero

    Unlucky Son

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

    Always thought that Bale would impact Son.

    Bale and Kane are greedier

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

      Bale wasn't on the pitch for the first 70 mins

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

        When all 3 play Son’s points will be the lowest imo.
