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.

    As a young first timer on here I'm not sure whether I enjoy the stress of this game or not. Maybe I'm already in deep and no escape?

    Referring to what's mentioned above it would be interesting to have all team lists submitted on a Friday night before any deadlines. That way unpredictability is eliminated and proper skill shines through - as most winners in FPL these days get luck on their side as well.

    There are so many 50/50 calls based purely on luck, especially with Man City and other top sides with european commitments.

        Doesn't take away skill at all - there is absolutely no skill in "guessing" lineups.

        But if we were to know who were to play, then the skill comes into play in actually choosing the right players. Anticipating who scores the most points, who has the best stats is where the skill comes in, not in anticipating who Pep will bench next, as that is out of anybody's control.

          Disagree that there is no skill in predicting lineups - especially over the course of a season i.e. predicting number of starts/minutes a player will get. No one should be bringing in players for 1GW anyway unless before planned WC or on FH.

        Not meant just for that purpose. There's no reason why it can't happen - and it might even help even out the league between the cash kings and the lesser squads as the big teams wouldn't be able to wait for last minute fitness tests for their players.

        I do play it.. I must say it is refreshing to play another game in conjunction that doesn't get so heavily swayed by team rotation.

        I can accept making the wrong choices for players, but to have my GW swayed so heavily by rotation really does bring a lot of luck into things. (meant as a season long opinion, not based just on this GW)

        Yeah, i'm just finding everything geared more towards pressers these days rather than the actual stats behind the games.

        With these bigger teams, it really is a lottery who's getting picked and not. And the more money the bigger teams get, the bigger the squads get, and the worse rotation will get.

        Part of the game i guess - and it'll probably gear us into picking nailed players from mid table sides instead. e.g. Jimenez, Siggy etc

      Effective ownership. It reflects captaincy. Son is highly captained so his points count double for those who captain. That pushes his EO up.

          He plays every game, second highest scorer in the league.

            If you'd captained him every week for the last 8 games or whatever, you'd also be screwed

            Didn't want to do Duffy because I'd already tripled up on their defence ... oh well

      Alderweireld has played almost every minute of the league so far. Buy him for the first time this season and he's bench. Why does this always happen. Watch Vertonghen score as well...

      Sounds like you need to put the armband on Screwed (c).

    To be fair, never considered anyone outside Son and Vardy. City vs their bogey team, Pool vs Chelsea, Wolves vs Southampton(who I will never captain against), and JWP, maybeee, but yeah .. .
    Not that big of a regret, tbh.

      Possible. He is pushing forwards from LCB sometimes, and he's fantastic in the wide areas.

    Today is the day I’m gonna pay for a mistake of VC Vardy ahead of Duffy. Such a rookie mistake not to VC a DGW player
