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.

      The number of native english speakers who can speak another language competently is tiny.

      Nothing I've seen from Arsenal suggest their attack is a wise investment

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

    Martinez
    Robo/Reguilon/Chilwell
    Salah/Son/Hamez/Grealish

  12. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who's everyone's Jimenez replacement? I'm eyeing up Wilson, Watkins & Antonio. Not ruling out an upgrade to Werner either.

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

      Too many other fires. Saiss and Barnes

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You may regret replacing him.

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

    This is set up for next week. Thinking Pulisic to Ziyech and Saïss to Cresswell or Coufal for - 4 to play over Lamptey. Are these best moves or anything better?

    Martinez
    TAA Lamptey Chilwell
    Salah Son Grealish Podence Pulisic
    Kane DCL

    Forster Saïss Brewster Mitchell

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      Is Lamptey out? Or is this just speculative?

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

        Don’t know yet- hopefully taken off as precaution

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

        Not confirmed, but hammy injuries are always tricky

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

      Lamptey has BUR. No need to take a hit imo. Just Puli -> Ziyech.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Stuarty Dallas.

    4. Rinseboy

      save the-4 is Lamptey fit

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

    TAA, Ings out (if confirmed long-term injury tomorrow)

    A) Zouma, Kane
    B) Chilwell, Werner

    1. King Kohli

    Who you got left to play?

    0/ Bamford

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      62 all out

      Should have Meslier but left on my bench...

      Justin

      Currently on 64 which seems to be decent this weekend.

  16. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Plans for Saiss, keep or sell? Maybe Zouma? Or bring in kilman in the interim and keep the funds to assess defenders further

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

    Jarrod bowen an option or a waste of a midfield spot?

  18. Ode
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zouma and Grealish haul, Chilwell, Salah points and Kane (c) but still only a slight green arrow. This season is tough

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

    1. Havertz > Zaha (leaving no easy way to get Grealish in after)
    2. Havertz > Grealish
    3. Jiménez > DCL
    4. Havertz > Ziyech
    5. Save FT and decide next week on Havertz and Jiménez

    4.5 4.0
    TAA Chilwell Zouma Justin 4.0
    Salah Son Havertz Soucek 4.5
    Kane Wilson Jiménez

  20. Arfaish
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best replacement for Pulisic:

    A) Ziyech

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

      A I guess from those options. Tough tho

      1. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My bad, see below

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

      Zieych better than Grealish/Zaha?

      1. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Got Grealish but Zaha definitely in the equation for the next 4

    3. Arfaish
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry posted accidentally!

      A) Ziyech
      B) Zaha
      C) Torres
      D) Foden

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

        Not Foden

        1. Arfaish
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Reckon Torres worth a punt with him potentially playing up top?

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

        A or B

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

      A

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

      Has to be A

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

    Not a clue what to do?
    No WC 1FT 1.2 ITB

    Martinez
    Lamptey Chillwell Saiss
    Son Pulisic Grealish Salah
    Kane Maupay Ings

    :Forster,Targett,Mitchell,Burke

  22. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best Ings replacement:

    A) DCL
    B) Wilson

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

    New team:

    Martinez

    Kane - DCL

    Absolutely fine with this season, so may just leave this team alone and not touch it for months, see how it plays out.

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

      Absolutely done*

    2. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years

      Don’t know about killman and Martinez(conceding a lot). Rest is fine!

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

      WC?

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

        nope, hits, i give up

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

      If this is a WC

      Drop Ziyech , get Zaha

      Bamford to bench fodder

      Drop Rashford and get City attack, will be your main captain in 2 weeks.

      Id have Meslier over Martinez

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

        nah, cant stand zaha, bamford is very worth to have as back up, don't want city as their not on form, rather have rash who can at least show more willingness, wouldnt cap a city player over any others next two weeks.
        Meslier no chance plays for fulham.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Meslier plays for Leeds

  24. Chilli Heatwave

        Bearing in mind this includes bonus points and auto sub.

        Martinez

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

      Nope

  26. Will J 256

    Ziyech or Rashford as a Pulisic replacement?

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wondering exactly the same.. leaning towards rashford, sadly priced out of bruno

  27. fachada
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone fancies buying Auba for Salah this GW and captain him?

  28. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Lots of Rashford chat, but Martial now back and just 8.7m?

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

      But which Martial are we going to have???

  29. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts?

    TAA, Saiss, Jiminez to Chilwell, Coufal, Werner -4pt hit

  30. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With a defence of:
    Robbo Lamptey Semedo (Saiss Mitchell) for next week, assuming Lamptey fit.

    Would you take a -4 on Saiss to Zouma or Cresswell/Coufal or wait a week?
