Son and Trippier benched as Eriksen starts for Spurs

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.

      Why do you never give us Brighton info if he is your brother?

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        because Brighton info is never needed

      Never going to start.

        Wow, you've got this game nailed.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          😀 If only i could nail FPL too.

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Very likely true. The Cardiff game is Brighton's most important one of the season and he will start then.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't think he'd start both, not captain hindsight. They bought Andone for a reason and have slowly phased him in after the early season injury.

    3. Piggs Boson

      Why would a 35 year old start all 4 DGW games? It was obvious he was going to be benched 😛

  9. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Son coming on now for Lloris.

    Murray benched is no surprise. Nor was Son really. Use your heads!

        It's been discussed everywhere! Champions League week, Murray is old, even Joe told you not to get him! And he's a Brighton fan.

        Have Son, happy with what goes, was never going to captain He still might do something yet though...

    3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Then why did you have son starting as your vice captain? Lol

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just in case Duffy didn't get on the pitch. Which was extremely unlikely over two games. More chance of the sun not coming up. VC could've been anyone this week. Son was a good SGW option, but never nailed to start.

    Murray bench is no biggie. Didn’t expect him to start both and I’d rather him start against Cardiff.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

    Would you rather have Doherty or Deulofeu coming off the bench for Son?

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Deulofeu

    2. Longlatini

    I don't want to be a jinx, but Son (C) coming on for a blanking Eriksen would really suck.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ooh. It would.
