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.

  3. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    104 (-8) with Willock to go

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A big one from willy tomorrow will be very appreciated. Or no willy at all!

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

        Need it, especially after thinking Ramsey was 1st on my bench! I’m sure I swapped it but have forgot to save

  4. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah cappers, happy with recovery ?
    Bubz are you buzzing ?

  5. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    124 with 2 players to go justifies BB?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No, would of expected at least 175, bad week

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

      You know it’s a success

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I am honest - always kept it to GW36 with 15 DGWs. This time decided that WC now will be more effective. But BB itself went not so good.

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      200 is minimum BB score this week

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      124 on your bench. Would say that’s a success

  6. MGD
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    James -> Doherty
    Bowen -> Kulu
    Foden -> Gordon
    Dennis -> Kane
    -12

    Worth it! 🙂

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

    Just about green after a 12 point hit. 102 - 12 = 90

    ASM to play against Everton. Whatever he scores will add to my green. Happy.

  12. drughi
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Very dissapointing evening, son just isnt Up to scratch. Son and jimmy>kulusevski and Kane needs to happen right?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Could be worth it as think Kane is the one to have

    2. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      yes. Luckily i have them so helping me forget of juve being an embarassment

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah Homer turf used to be a fortress but this juve sikt THE same, tough footy night

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Writing on pad is impossible

    3. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes. I'm in the same position. Was leaning towards taking a hit for Kane. Now I'm definitely doing it. As a Spurs fan I really don't want to be watching that game not owning Kane.

    4. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Son isn't up to scratch?

    5. drughi
      • 16 Years

  13. Bishopool
    • 14 Years

  14. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I have literally everyone with 9 dgwers and Salah(TC) but i don't have the 32 points from Robbo and Kane.91 points and a red arrow.

  17. CheesyZoot

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. The Ilfordian

      Great score!

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you keep Adams in view of gw33 or sell for Jimmy and try to get more points now ? Cheers.

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Tough one.
      I own both alongside Kane. Keeping Adams and playing 10 this GW with Leeds in GW31 and DGW33 in mind.
      Also looking to sell Jiménez ahead of GW31

  22. Hibbopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    on 102 now. Holgate and Gordon to really boost m--okay I'll take my 104 and be okay with the green arrow.

  23. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    92 points and a small red. Ouch!

    Really needed Son and Kane to do a bit more

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

    every player in my UCL team made it through to the next round.
    pretty lucky!

  25. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Who should I sell for Kane?

    A) Jimenez

    B) Lacazette

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jimmy. Arsenal will have more doubles

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Good point! Just hope I don’t get stung by LEE (H) fixture for Jimi

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

  26. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez, Bednarek + JWP -> Schmeichel, Tierney + Barnes (-8)
    Gives me 10 for this GW, and would do Ramsey + Jiménez -> Havertz + Fodder (-4) for 31. Save 32 and have a pretty strong squad for DGW33.

    Only 1 FH left. Probably for 36 or 38.

    Schmeichel
    Doherty - Saiss - Tierney
    Kulusevski - Maddison - Barnes - Ramsey
    Kane - Jiménez

    (Foster, TAA, Salah, Cancelo)

    1. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      i wouldn't be confident in those 3 making up for the -8

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Schmeichel(?), Tierney(?) and Barnes (?) (-8) Should at minimum match Sanchez (0), Bednarek (0) and JWP (0) 😀
        Would like to think one of them will bring back the last 2 points needed in order to do so.

        Would like them more than those I currently got moving forward too.

  27. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    White or a Leicester defender (Soy or Thomas)?

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

      Thomas

  28. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Saiss Kilman Doherty
    Saka Coutinho Son Raphinha
    Lacazette Jimenez

    Dubravka Salah TAA Rudiger Broja

    1FT, 0.0itb

    What to do here for GW30:

    1. Save FT
    2. Salah Jimenez >> Barnes Kane(c) (-4), then GW31 Son Coutinho >> Salah Kulusevski
    3. Salah >> Barnes, then GW31 Coutinho >> Salah

    Thanks guys

  29. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Tough loss and Liverpool is in red hot form going for the title so expectations were low. Jota and Firmino scored again, who'd have thought. Proud of the effort team put in today and top 4 is still in our hands.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Arsenal can beat or at least not lose to tot and Man utd. Liverpool just a class above

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I totally agree. And Klopp always has a recipe to beat us, even when we're in great form.

  30. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    No idea how people have such high scores

    I'm around 84 and the only player I don't own who did really well for most is Robbo. Even have Kane Kulu over Son and Salah Cap

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Triple captains, Wildcards

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

      I think the Liverpool double defense was a big one - 30 points between Robbo & TAA for me.
      55 points from Salah (c), Kane and Kulu and then you're already laughing.

    3. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      add Robbo and you have over 100
