Gameweek 9 gets underway this lunchtime as in-form Bournemouth welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Vitality Stadium.

Eddie Howe’s side warmed up for this one with a 6-1 hammering of Hull City last weekend and have now won each of their last three home fixtures.

The hosts are without Junior Stanislas, however, after the winger – who bagged two goals and a pair of assists against the Tigers – was ruled out with a calf injury.

Callum Wilson and Charlie Daniels have also been subject to increased Fantasy Premier league interest this week ahead of clashes against ‘Boro, Sunderland and Stoke in the subsequent three.

Spurs are without the injured Toby Alderweireld after the Belgian was forced off against West Brom last weekend.

A goalless draw against Bayern Leverkusen means the north London side have chalked up a clean sheet in five of the last seven in all competitions, boosting their chances of extending an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign.

Son Heung-Min’s owners will also be keeping a keen eye on today’s encounter. Having earned over 328,000 transfers in prior to Gameweek 8, the South Korean was utilised as a late sub at the Hawthorns and was stationed on the left flank in Germany against his former club.

This time around, though, it looks like he will lead the line as Vincent Janssen drops to the bench.

With Leicester, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea directly after today’s fixture, a lack of returns could persuade Son’s 13% owners to reassess.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      10 years, 4 days ago

      Same with Smith here, no big deal though, how many active players will have started their Bournemouth defender in a week like this where there are so many 'easier' fixtures for popular defenders on fpl.

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    10 years, 4 days ago

    C'mon Wilson!

    1. Alnair

  17. John t penguin
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Third sub leading baps doesn't augur well

  18. Rh4ziel
    10 years, 4 days ago

    My midfield : Walcott, Sanchez, Mane, Firmino, Son
    Kun, Lukaka(diomande)

    Who to get for Son? Can get funds doing Mane>Coutinho, really think 2 Liverpool midfielders will be sensational those upcoming fixtures 🙂

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Keep Son

      ...

      (Only joking)
