A quieter-than-usual Saturday of Premier League football begins with Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Kick-off in north London is at 12:30 BST.

Antonio Conte makes one change from the Lilywhites’ 4-0 win at Aston Villa, and it’s an enforced one at that.

Matt Doherty is out for the season with a knee injury, so Sergio Reguilon comes in at left wing-back.

There is only one change made by Graham Potter after Brighton’s impressive victory over Arsenal last weekend.

Danny Welbeck drops to the bench, with Tariq Lamptey taking his place.

With Neal Maupay only a substitute again, Alexis Mac Allister takes up a central striking role.

GAMEWEEK 33 LINE-UPS

Spurs XI: Lloris, Emerson, Romero, Dier, Davies, Reguilón, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Sanchez, Winks, Rodon, Sessegnon, Gollini, Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, White, Lavinier

Brighton XI: Sánchez, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Lamptey, Mwepu, Bissouma, Caicedo, Gross, Trossard, Mac Allister

Subs: Webster, Maupay, Lallana, Welbeck, March, Steele, Offiah, Ferguson, Sarmiento

    And now we’ll find out if salah > son was a good move or an extremely silly one

      You know the answer already

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Either way, I think I’ll enjoy watching spurs a little more having all 3 which is the main thing for me

    2. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good move. Couldn't find the balls to do it

      Did you punt on him? Been quite impressed when I've seen him, hope he can stay injury free

    Taking hits to play BB.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is madness? The effect of the chip is it allows you to get points for *your worst players* who would otherwise be on your bench. Most players on your bench are unlikely to return, which is why you would bench them, so you're primarily relying on appearance points. Even if you bring in a doubler, the likelihood is that they will get 2x 2 appearance points, which makes a -4 to get them in completely pointless.

    My philosophy has always been that if you have a good bench on any given week, or you can get one with free transfers, then go for it. Anything you get is a bonus really. But taking hits to do it seems backwards to me because if one of your players gets 4 points, you've effectively BB'd with 3 players instead of 4.

    End of rant trying to justify still having my BB to play 😀

    1. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You are ignoring the bit about your -4 player potentially getting a CS or attacking return
      besides, it's a game
      have fun

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not bad if it enables you to tidy up your squad in the process

      E.g someone may have brought in dewesbury hall to make funds and it also works for a bb this week

    3. Bollard
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      An alternative mindset (maybe radical) could be that if you view the BB as a crap chip, you can use it to offset the cost ofa points hit, where you shuffle your main 11 by 4-5 players. Its like a true mini-wildcard and you can write the BB off this way.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That's true and I quite like the mindset, particularly useful in a H2H league if you've taken hits and your opponent hasn't. But most people aren't using it that way. The ones I have seen are taking hits to get players just so they have 4 bench players who actually play this week (maybe play twice). I guess what I'm saying is taking hits for budget players who need to repay the hit immediately just so you can play the BB chip seems silly to me but to each their own.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I agree. I don't see the sense in it either. It's counterproductive imo, but I guess some people like to gamble the chip in a dgw.

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I like this alternative approach to the chip

    Always love a good 10:58 transfer. Not bold enough for 10:59 though

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Thought I was about to be able to make an 11:52 transfer/change but it changed as I went to!

        I feel the opposite... nice to have a good spread of high & low owned, plus a premium mid who never makes the list

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years

          ah, could be blessing in disguise tbh. Cant see Bruno outscoring Salah this week or even next 2 weeks.

          1. Christina.
            • 15 Years

      Was tempted by this also!

  20. COLLIN QUANER

    Wouldn't be surprised if we see Bruno rested vs Norwich

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      he can rest while being on field

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Or Ronaldo

      1. diesel001

    4. Bubz

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Salah knock vs. Man City in the cup confirmed then

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sutherns is a top FPL player. But he is also a lucky player (meant as a compliment). It is always good to have luck on your side. So expect Bruno to haul today.

  22. fplgaruda
    • 4 Years

    Hope goals for Son, to heat up the top scorer competition

    1. Magic Zico

      He will score, he is Son

    Time to start looking at some GW34 WC options then.

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Chips used this GW:
    FH 15%
    BB: 8%

    Chips remaining:
    2x FH: 1%
    1x FH: 51%
    TC: 4%
    BB: 40%
    WC: 16%

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fraser and Cucho put the kibosh on my bench boost this week. Didn't seem worth a hit to straighten it out.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I went for a very dull BB this week mainly as it’s a headache building one for GW36 otherwise - If you want 3 decent playing forwards with no Cucho it’s pretty expensive and means I’d have to sacrifice elsewhere on my WC

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ta! BB 40% is a bit surprising, people waiting for DGW36?

      1. Sun Jihai

  25. Cali

    Missed the deadline for the first time this season. Will I survive this?

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, White, Rudiger
    Salah, Kulu, Saka, Willock
    Kane (C), Weghorst

    Dubra, Broja, Raphinha, Doherty

    1. Drexl Spivey

      I should imagine so.

    Interesting that a Tier 2 Burnley insider has transferred out Weghorst this GW
