Two more Double Gameweek 29 matches take place this evening and there is plenty of interest in both of them from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Brighton and Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur gets underway at 19:30 GMT, with Arsenal v Liverpool kicking off 45 minutes later.

The headline team news comes from the Emirates, where Mohamed Salah is only among the substitutes after his injury scare at the weekend.

Diogo Jota takes the Egyptian’s place in the front three.

Jurgen Klopp’s only other alteration from the win over Brighton sees Naby Keita drop out and Thiago Alcantara come in.

Mikel Arteta keeps faith with the same 11 players that saw off Leicester City on Sunday.

As for the match on the south coast, there are no real shocks on either teamsheet.

Spurs are unchanged from their 3-2 loss at Manchester United, which means starts for well-owned assets like Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski and Matt Doherty.

There are two alterations to the Brighton starting XI, meanwhile, one of which sees Tariq Lamptey drop to the bench – a now-common occurrence when the Seagulls play twice within the space a few days, such is Albion’s management of his minutes.

Shane Duffy and Pascal Gross both start as Steven Alzate also makes way.

Above: FPL assets sorted by ‘effective ownership’ in the top 10k. All bar Martin Dubravka of the players in green above are in action this evening.

    Looking ahead - given Leic playing GW30 and DGW33, is there really a defender that’s an option beyond Soy? Fofana might nudge our Amartey and Justin for Thomas but unclear on both counts

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Cancelo

        Lol

    2. GreennRed

      Thomas. He'll play, he's cheap, slim chance of attacking returns. Fodder 5th defender after 30.

  2. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    They're giving that as a Ramsdale og or Firmino goal? All those og shouts have confused me.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No chance

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

      Oddly, they're giving it as a Kulu assist.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

            39 off 100. 98 off top. Live. Just been bouncing around around 100-900 the last 7-8 weeks. Got WC, BB and FH left so trying to survive at the minute

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years

        added just now in the web version.

      2. TheBiffas

        added, apparently πŸ™‚

    2. Sandy Ravage

      This is a Kulu assist post

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years

        I read that in Crocodile Dundee voice

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Also, pour one out for Scott Hall

  7. RogDog_jimmy

    Danjuma penalty!

    wahoo.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      forgot to take Danjuma and Azpi off my bench πŸ™

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        ouch!

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ah here!

  8. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Trying to make myself feel better not owning Kane right now.

    Is it risky to captain Son if 30 given what we've seen the past few games with Kane and Kulu overshadowing Son?

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Im switching to Kane for a hit i cant take not owning kane anymore

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        ha it's tempting right. I just can't justify taking another hit when i'm going to FH33 / WC34

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Honestly it may be, not even just taking into account general good-bad-good-bad tempo right now

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Don't own him either, but the game is pure luck. Son can easily haul.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        giving Son a go is still worth it imo, rather than losing Salah for Kane via two moves

  9. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Do FPL generally explain controversial decisions? Hard to see case for not awarding Kulusevski assist based on replays

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Simon69

      Timing! Thanks

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes they do. Therefore this has to be sorted or explained. Kulu assist still stands, since there is no new tweet.

  10. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    Laca off

  11. BobB

      In the 100 point club now, woo.

  13. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On 99 points for the GW - need one more BAP for TAA.
    Want to hit that 100 so bad.
    (of course a Kulu assist would help...)

  14. Simon69

    KULU ASSIST ADDED

  15. xHaTr

    Kulusevski assist added we can all breathe again now

    1. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years

      FPL towers sure took their sweet time doing the obvious, but better late than never.

  16. TopBinFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How bad has Laca been

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not a good goalscorer but needed for his experience, cool head and keeping Xhaka out of trouble.

  17. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    Praise be!!!!!

  18. asr

  19. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Finally a successful wildcard! Nearly did Bruno & King to Son & Laca -4, instead wildcarded and got in Kane and Robbo amongst a full DGW XI. Ton up with Gordon to play!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He created two late big chances for Reggy and Bentacur lost the ball πŸ™‚

  22. DropkickMurphys

    Lol yeah Kulusevski points are Bach

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I find them to be more Vivaldi personally...

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Just be careful with finding them Tchaikovsky nowadays…

  23. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    God, they took their sweet time with that

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

    I'm so delighted by the Kulusevski assist addition. Finally!

    I don't own him, I'll lose rank as a result, but I'll take it just to be spared all the whining.

  30. Scapegoat Salah
