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

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Amat bandwagon derailed

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Annoying as I just got him on my WC

      Hang on Smith!!

    2. Rh4ziel
      10 years, 4 days ago

      What bandwagon? He is a playing 4.0m guy, today Swans will concede 10 goals, and Amat will be played next week 🙂

  8. Brap.
    10 years, 4 days ago

    In the words of Elvis

    Son is like the truth…you can shut it out for a while but it ain't never going away

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 4 days ago

      (if you don't have the funds for Wally)

  9. raff97
    10 years, 4 days ago

    To be fair, if everyone on my team gets 3 pts like Son, Id have 36 which is still better than my score last week

  10. Abusement Park
    10 years, 4 days ago

  11. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Leicester basically going 4-2-4!

    Palace wingers in for a field day!

  12. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Props to JAMES H.

    Successfully gave us a subtle warning about AMAT being dropped.

    He didn't state it as fact earlier which is the correct way to go about it.

  13. Fowler23
    10 years, 4 days ago

    No Vardy?

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 4 days ago

  22. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 4 days ago

    1. sminkypinky
      10 years, 4 days ago

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Felt good about a Swansea CS

        1. sminkypinky
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Ok. Fair play. I would have chosen different but what do i know. I benched Smith.

    2. Pinatta
      10 years, 4 days ago

  23. BB-8
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Amat benched. Kone to step up with a 15 pointer off the bench

  24. Demí
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Is Mawson an actual surname? Not short for Michael Dawson or something?

    1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
      10 years, 4 days ago
