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.

    No baps for Kane. 2 for Lamptey though.

      Noice

    2. MESSINHO
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably even 3 for Lamptey. There has to be mistake on Bale BPS.

    Both Kane and Salah caps rewarded for non-pens lol

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah, Kane, and Lamptey - all of their goals were due to poor refereeing decisions. Random lottery gameweek. Biased owners will disagree, lol, etc.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah Kane was correct decision, lamptey was the only incorrect one

      • SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed bar the Lamptey one, for me the if the foul is missed earlier in the build up it’s missed. Don’t like this idea of going back several moves before a goal is scored.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Rather Chilwell or Coufal as Saiss replacement?

      Tempted by Coufal tbh... savings could be useful down the line, Hammers have good fixtures defensively and Coufal got some assists too.

    3. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      68 all out for the GW. What will be the average score?

      1. how now brown cow

    5. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Best striker to get? Can afford any

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Really depends on who you got.

        1. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Jimenez, Mitro - need a replacement for Ingsy

      2. MOTHRA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Kane

    6. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 6 Years

      31 points... Can somebody reassure me that I don't need to take a massive hit? Already used my 1ft on Ziyech.

      Martinez
      TAA James Justin
      Son Bruno Ziyech Podence
      Kane DCL Bamford

      1. Bushwhacker

        Saiss. Other than that patience.

      2. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        take the hit.

    7. have you seen cyan

      Any suggested changes for my team? £1.1m itb and 1FT
      Guaita
      Lamptey - Saiss - Chilwell
      Salah - Son - Zaha - Trossard
      (K)ane - DCL - Jimi

    8. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why is Kane so low on BPS? Isn’t a goal alone 25? He’s on 17

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

        Diving all over the pitch and otherwise invisible...

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          The invisible part would work in his favour

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not to mention he never got penalised for diving

    9. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers for the 9 points Gazza but you're out for KDB

      Ryan owners, will he start next game I ask?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why do you think that pretend owners of Ryan would know?...Do you think the manager has told them all?...

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        was just for this week it would seem

      • FER FUSCH AKE

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

          Saiss needs to go

          • 7 Years

          Wait on Ings news, could be out for a long time

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I knew Lamptey would cover Kane.

          1. fachada
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            got Lamptey too coming for Saiss

        2. fachada
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Having no Kane, Vardy(C) +grealish+lamptey got me up 1 mil rank

      • DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        72 with Dallas to go. Lamptey first sub.

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

          Go away

        2. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          72 all out. First good GW this season. Bamford and Vardy will probably get me down in the shiiit again.

      • Manani
        • 12 Years

        ziyeah or grealish?

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I am not convinced by Ziyech. I want to see more from him first

        2. FCRS BGD

        4. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Grealish. No rotation issues, better long-term fixtures, talisman, 0.7 cheaper.

      • Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I need a Mitrovic haul tomorrow for my mini league manager of month.

        1. Party time

            Well played

        2. Firminooooo

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Concentrate for greens in a row till GW 11. It has the most significant correlation on your final rankings

        3. JJO
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          And again my player loaing baps for nothing
          What a pos this game is sometimes

        4. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane is a cheat to keep doing that dirty backing into player thing.

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He even looks behind first.

          2. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Always has been

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yup and a diver too. One of the reasons I can’t cheer on England goals.

        5. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane is my captain but he deserved to lose the bonus points since he missed a big chance. Fair outcome imo. BP are great recently

        6. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years

            Most people have bigger fires to put out.

            Do you not have one of Pulisic, Ings, Rodriguez, Saiss?

        7. Champions League Varane

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Worse with 49

            Only 2 off my defenders played.

            • 7 Years

          3. Pukkipartyy
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I think thats above avrage.

            Exactly the same post Lamptey bench points. I'm satisfied because at before this latest match it was looking ugly.
