Bale recalled as Kane-less Spurs take on Brighton in final Gameweek 21 match

Tottenham Hotspur are without the injured Harry Kane (£11.1m) for the final match of Gameweek 21 but there is still plenty of interest from a Fantasy perspective in the Lilywhites’ Sunday evening clash with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Kane is absent with ankle problems, with Gareth Bale (£9.3m) handed a start for just the second time in the league this season.

Bale for Kane is one of four changes that Jose Mourinho has made to his starting XI.

The other alterations see Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m), Davison Sanchez (£5.2m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m) come in for Eric Dier (£5.0m), Serge Aurier (£5.2m) and Matt Doherty (£5.6m).

The Brighton team news is unexpectedly straightforward, with manager Graham Potter making no changes from the side that drew with Fulham.

All of the Seagulls’ players have ownerships of less than 4% in FPL but the game’s most-selected asset does feature in tonight’s clash, with Son Heung-min (£9.8m) in the visitors’ line-up.

Son features in just under 60% of Fantasy squads, both overall and within the top 10,000.

He was also among the top ten most popular purchases of Gameweek 21, attracting 167,978 transfers in.

Son has hit eight goals on the road already in 2020/21, although only one has arrived since Gameweek 6.


Brighton XI: Sanchez, White, Dunk, Webster, Veltman, Gross, Bissouma, Mac Allister, March, Maupay, Trossard.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rodon, Davies, Sissoko, Ndombele, Hojberg, Bergwijn, Bale, Son.

                He said no Son goal, not "goals". I guess he is fine with more than 1 goal 😉

      Considering my start was -2 after 5 (Mitchell, Stones, Cancello, Sterling {C}, DCL with a -4 to boot), am more than a little shocked to have hit 80 pts this week ;o)

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

          Salah VC / Bamford / Martinez / Dallas, even 4 pt cameo from Jones off of bench, all just fell in place... Got lucky! ;o)

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

      Brighton and Sheff Utd the only teams in the PL to be underperforming both xG and xGC (i.e. they are scoring fewer and conceding more than expected).

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I watch SHU and fail to accept these xG stats mean anything

        They are hust dreadful never look like scoring

    7. zdrojo187

      Yesterday...6 points

      Sterling C
      Cancelo
      Stones
      Mitchell

      Today...68 points

      Salah VC
      Bamford
      Dawson

      I love this game

      1. Egg noodle

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Similar, yesterday 21 (17 after -4), today 80!!!

        Also Sterling C, Salah VC, great minds think alike ;o)

    8. Nightcrawler

      3 years, 2 months ago

      If u have son but not cap what u want??

      I assume his eo is going to take a huge spike after Cap no shows yesterday

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Points as many as possible

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

        Son EO in Top 10k after VC and auto subs is 73%

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Ok thats lower than i expected. Cup opp needs 12 points from him so 1 goal and 2 baps shd do nothing more

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            3*

    9. DonBenzema
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What's the verdict on Rashford? Great fixtures incoming, but in dreadful form.
      Would you prioritize moving him out for Grealish or think about replacing Kane first?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Too busy concentrating on school dinners

    10. Rash
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Anything more frustrating in fpl than selling a player who hauls for one who blanks?

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        VC hauls

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Transferring out an injured player for another player....who then gets injured (ala Vardy > Kane(

        1. Rash
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yea thats annoying.

          1. Rash

    12. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Best one?

      A) Burke >> Grealish

      B) Brewster >> Antonio

      C) Brewster >> Bamford

      D) Roll and play Coufal

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You need Bamford. Should of had.

        Then I would say try and get Graelish in looks really good right now.

        1. George James
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          “Should have had”

          Cheers haha

      The 2nd place player in my league has the following defense:

      Cancelo(c) Saiss Aurier Chillwell Keane

      I think it’s the first time I’ve seen an active team end up with zero points from five defenders

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        madness

    14. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Like if you held Salah through his drought and were rewarded with big haul this week.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not only did I hold him through the drought. I captained him every single week. Not this week tho. Decided to captain a DM instead.

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          This game is cruel at times.

          I benched Wilson this week for Barnes. And I never bench Wilson. Really stung that.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Dunno. It was a stupid decision. All I had to do was hold my nerve. 6 blanks was one too many it seems.

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Of course if I'd known Mane was out I would have

        2. Party time
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Hahahahaha 😆

          • Casual Player
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Oh man. I was with you, captaining him every week thru the curse. But was fortunately also on Salah(c) this week

        3. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Kept, didn't cap.

      2. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Planning to bring in grealish but would mean benching one of these

        A: Antonio (avl)
        B: Bamford (EVE)
        C: Rashford (SOT)

        Not ideal i know but massive fomo whenever villa play and they have good fixtures.

        Plus given the quick turaround and lack of premiums, no harm in having a strong front 8?

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe bench Antonio

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Never bench Antonio

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I’d wait until you have a extra ft in the bank and have a need; never know what could happen

        3. HashAttack
          • 7 Years

          Sell Rashford for Grealish - problem solved

      3. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who is the best defender to own right now outside of City and West Ham? Already have 3 players of those.

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

          Chelsea (Silva for me)

        2. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Rüdiger 4.5 😉

          1. JELLYFISH
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I’d be on Rudiger in a heart beat but just feels like a gotcha

        3. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Holding

        4. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Targett maybe?

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

        Looking like being a very low scoring affair

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          People predicted 0-0 (or wished) at HT for WHU-LIV

          1. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I suppose Brighton might win by 2 or 3

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Brighton are crap. They'll find a way to concede 3 with a combined xg of 0.03.

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

        Whats Salah EO after VCs facotred in?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          95%-ish if I recall correctly

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

          97.5%

      6. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Always captain salah

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Even easier decision when Firminio is bench and he is starting up front.

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

        3. Qaiss
          • 8 Years

          Just if in doubt, Captain Salah

      7. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Is Harry back for Chelsea or WBA longer?

        Thinking, Kane & Foden > Wilson/Antonio & Sterling?

      8. balint84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Rüdiger or Thiago?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Spurs next, wait another week?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Do more often and you will win this game

      9. Jindaljain
        • 9 Years

        Comeon my Son get those Salah points

      10. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mm would you bench Gündogan or Antonio for this coming gameweek?

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Gundogan

          Gund bench wouldnt surprise me one bit with pool next

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I was thinking he might get benched. I originally thought Antonio bench cause his minutes need managing but you’re maybe right.

      11. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Need a Son RC to advance in the cup

      12. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Which option looks best?

        A - Johnstone > Martinez
        B - Johnstone > Guaita
        C - Raphinha > Grealish

        Johnstone
        Robbo - Dallas - Stones
        Salah - Bruno - Soucek - Gundo
        Antonio - Bamdord - DCL

        McCarthy - Raphinha - Justin - Coufal

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 12 Years
