Son and Trippier benched as Eriksen starts for Spurs

1,878 Comments

Son Heung-min (£8.7m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are among the benched players for Spurs in their Double Gameweek 34 fixture.

With already-relegated Huddersfield coming to north London, Mauricio Pochettino has taken this opportunity to start Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.2m) in their place.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) has held onto his place in the side and without Trippier should have a greater involvement in set pieces.

Also, with Son on the bench and Harry Kane (£12.6m) injured, it is possible the Danish international could be taking the penalties too.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) comes in for Danny Rose (£5.8m) at left-back, while Juan Foyth (£5.0m) starts alongside Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) so that Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) can have a rest on the bench.

Huddersfield have lined themselves up in a 4-5-1 formation with Karlan Grant (£5.0m) leading the line. He has two goals in his last two away trips.

Chris Löwe (£4.4m) and Jon Stankovic (£3.9m) are both playing out of position in midfield.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Foyth, Davies, Sissoko, Eriksen, Moura, Wanyama, Llorente

Huddersfield XI: Hamer; Durm, Kongolo, Schindler, Hadergjonaj; Löwe, Stankovic, Hogg, Bacuna, Kachunga; Grant.

          He had a lot of rest earlier in the season and doesn't do as much running as Son. But still, if Spurs do go through in the CL there's a v good chance he gets a rest somewhere in the PL.

            Yeah it's possible but don't know if I'd call it a good chance, and iirc that rest was injury enforced...

            He's one of the hardest workers in the league and has been for years, always up there on the distance covered stats

                It can be but it also benefits experienced FPL players IMO because we tend to know which players will rack up a lot of points over the course of a season, even if they are too streaky or frequently injured for FPL purposes. For example I've never owned Siggy in FPL this season but if you check his history you know he's going to be in the top 8 midfielders every season and will cost less than the other 7.

              Not really. 2nd in ML and 9 points behind, sat at 40k OR. Just got a bit bored of template so wanted a few high risk high reward I guess. Not stupid punts imo so won't absolutely destroy my rank

      Interesting thread on Reddit RE: Spurs line-up.

      https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/bcp832/yesterdays_spurs_itk/

      OP is worth keeping an eye on going forward. However, original post was obviously impossible to take as acceptable ITK knowledge.

        Really wasn’t hard to predict what he did he probably has other accounts saying other things

          I wouldn't go that far, but yeah it wasn't difficult to give that as a prediction that could be true, source or no source.

      Son coming in or stay on bench, what is the more interesting? If he stays duffy cap goes perhaps up but more differences regarding autosubs?

      One goal from Son now is a dream. Crazy stuff. I only realised that Son will be benched after the deadline. Cool stuff.

      So, Son captaincy for DGW35 looking good? He surely starts at home to Brighton now.

      There will be someone who punted on Walker-Peters or even Foyth before getting in a Watford/Soton defender next week. Where are you?

      The top of my ML looks pretty Brighton heavy. One of my closest rivals even have 500% EO of Brighton def, while I settled for 100%.

      Bound to beat me this week, but hopefully it will even out at bit in the coming weeks. Right?
