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.

    Brutal from Aaron. Facebook defending, last ditch 2021 headline stuff. Connolly shouldn't be getting near the ball. Where were the rest of the Spurs defence?

      You mean the whole team?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. It was a nice block alright. Their defence has gone to fk. Trents goal v them. men ball watching, marking no one, oblivious to any danger.

    Salah, Bamford and Martinez 55 points.

    Rest of team 10 points.

      Similar boat. Wish I’d captained one.

      Bamford and Martinez sat on my bench while McCarthy/Adams got 4 points 🙁

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      65 points though. Not to be sniffed at.

    Just one G/A would do Son...

      Don’t think it’s happening.

        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It is not just possible to do so and it is the 3rd game. it's a curse.
        there is no way to explain this away.

      Maybe for bi's next trick our Zambian friend can do something about covid19 instead of jinxing footballers?

          I'd be happy if he could make Liverpool win the title again.

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years

      Imagine lots of curses that we don't know about 😀

    Son RC would be great

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's a bit ambitious my friend.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        he's got RC 3 times before...

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Has nothing to do with this game.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Silly.

    3. Sonaldo Nazario
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      YC would be enough.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Vinicius 😆 wtf is he doing

  7. Cruyff Turn

    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

      • 10 Years

      Son like a shadow without Harry

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You don't think Brighton defence is fairly decent after tonight?

      1. Cruyff Turn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, but I'm betting on Liverpool's attacking form.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      No

    2. Cruyff Turn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Deffo

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

      That's exactly the move I'm contemplating.

    5. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    6. Tonyawesome69

    7. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  10. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Second time McAllister gets away without YC.

  11. Rash
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This Brighton performance putting me off rushing to get salah back..

    Or are spurs just that poor.

    1. Cruyff Turn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs are terrible.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of both. Moreso Spurs being terrible.

    3. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of both

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They be poor

    5. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      3 cs in a row. And they play pretty well.
      But spurs rubbish as well

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brighton are a good team who have been incredibly unlucky.

    7. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs are awful

    8. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think Salah will get 1g 1a against Brighton.

    9. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs are trash

    10. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Should be a good game, either way. 2 teams playing football.

    11. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jose M is a fraud

      If he played FPL, he would rank 1M or below total embarrassment and casual

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Weird dig

  12. Mile Plankton
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should've played both keepers it seems.

  13. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ah Lamela. Diving is all you’ve ever achieved in the game ...

  14. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Omg my Bambam points on the bench

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will he come on for you with so many players not playing?

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Vinicius might be a bit nuts, but he has talent. Should start midweek.

  16. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which transfers to do this week?
    Kwp to Rudiger
    Chilwell to TAA
    Saka/ Soucek to Barnes

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I needed 3 points from son...3 points

  18. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah (C) haul, Son and Gundogan blanks. Beuatiful.

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yup absolute dream

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

    Spurs. Bottlers will be bottlers eh.

  20. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Maureen whinging on the touchline.

  21. KirkhamWesham
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Son is ineffective, when Kane isn't playing.

    Son out for Salah, anyone?

    1. as33
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeap thinking the same move

    2. Cruyff Turn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Already done.

      1. KirkhamWesham
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just done the move.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He was in effective tonight. Spurs afraid of losing more than a team looking to win. Has scored plenty before without Kane. Spurs being poor overall is prob more reason not to keep Son.

  22. MikeBravo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Superbowl next week, Kane injured, third season on the bounce It's happened...coincidence?!

  23. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton staying clear of relegation...

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Funny enough this was Brighton’s first home win for the season

  24. lifes a pitch
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Son to Mane or Salah?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Always Salah

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m doing Son > Salah

      Can see Spurs vs Chelsea being a stalemate

    3. Cruyff Turn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah, don't make my mistake this gw.

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

  25. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG for gw 22?

    Martinez
    Dias - Dier - Holding
    Salah (c) - Bruno - Sterling (vc) - Grealish
    DCL - Bamford - Wilson

    Button - Foden - Mitchell - KWP

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably yes

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dier out maybe, other than that GTG

  26. Rainer
