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.

    That's never llorente assist I feel robbed

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Robbed by who? He's owned by 0.8%

  2. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen, Sissoko and Vertonghen played all 270 minutes last 3 matches.

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Erik -> Skipp
      Sissoko -> March
      3rd hard to predict or no sub

    This could not be be going any better

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The only thing that would make it better would be a son 1 pt cameo. I’d happily take his 1pt (non capper) over jota coming on

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'm in exact same position. Son non cap with Jota first on bench. Happy either way tbh, as long as he doesn't come on and score

      2. TAArt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point

    Son warming up?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Has been for years.....one day will burn out.

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Burrrrrrrn!

      2. nadman89
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        well done

      3. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nice line, but incorrect - he will become a cooler super giant and then collapse.

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Son collapsing not good for owners 😉

      4. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        😀

  6. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hope Trippier and Son stays on bench. Doherty and Deeney should do OK 1st and 2nd on bench

  7. nadman89
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Glenn murray will fulfil the prophecy

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      For one game only, will rest in the next

      1. nadman89
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        enough with your negativity

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Team sheets?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      In about 35 mins

  9. Mysterion
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If a player scores, removes his shirt in celebration and then the goal gets rules out for offside, does he still get booked?

    1. KINGS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Booked regardless

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so, it's such a stupid and pointless thing to do.

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, it's stupid to have a rule that a player is automatically booked for taking their shirt off.

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Why do they need to do that to celebrate scoring? May as well drop their pants and do a victory lap...

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Why even celebrate at all? People celebrate in different ways... whatever they're feeling at the time really. In the world cup everyone threw their drinks up in the air.

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It's stupid that they do it despite knowing they'll get booked for it.

        3. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not so - it would only encourage female players to do it.
          Ah hold on, maybe it would be better to encourage goal scorers .......

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No he shouldn’t as the whistle has stopped play

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        So I can punch someone in the face if the whistle has stopped play?

    4. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That rule needs scrapping.. to answer your question I'd hope not..

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably, removing the shirt is yellow card regardless of scoring or not

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Are you sure about that?

        https://www.fifa.com/development/news/y=2004/m=6/news=clarification-law-yellow-card-for-removal-jersey-92958.html

        It only mentions during post-goal celebrations.

    6. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No doubt we will see this next season with VAR

    7. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Of course. That rules there to stop advertising on vests etc.

      Players have been booked on the bench before, too. (Was it Ederson.)

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        What happens if a benched player recieves a yellow card AND then gets subbed on? Do you still get the -1 point even though it happened whilst they weren't on the pitch?

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Even if they don't come on you get -1 point.

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Not sure if trolling but just in case... no you don't.

    8. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't matter when you take it off. Deeney took off his shirt before extra time in the FA cup game against Wolves for no reason. Should have been booked i think.

    9. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only if he's not ripped. Higs would get booked. Would have to score first though so not an issue.

    10. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all... fingers crossed for Son to confirm either way soon 😀

  10. Captain Hindsight
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Selecting Moura over Son also saved 2.1m in funds, to make upgrades elsewhere

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      😀

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This account makes me laugh and mad.

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And Wanyama even more 😉

    4. JJO
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What if you have both

  11. NUFCAndrew
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Praying Sonny doesn’t come on in the second half

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How is OR decided when level on points?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still purely least number of transfers?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Least transfers wins

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Seems a little arbitrary doesn't it. Something like total captaincy points across the season maybe more interesting?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Why? If someone can match your score with fewer transfers then clearly they are the more skilled manager and deserves higher OR imo

          1. Werder Bremner
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            If someone can take calculated risks, drop points and still match your score then arguably they are the more skilled manager

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Length of kok......

    4. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Amount of transfers made I’m led to believe

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should be goals scored IMO
      Transfers seems a bit random

  13. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs fans travelling to the new stadium deserve to be able to cheer on their favourite player, Hueng-Min Son, 92 minutes into the game, right before the whistle blows

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I feel sorry for those guys behind the goal with a South Korea flag, long flight to watch Wanyama and Llorente

      1. KINGS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Plenty of Koreans staying in London dude

  14. CarsonYeung
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is there anywhere that can provide even a general indication of VC stats? In the event of Son not making an appearance they'll be a pretty big factor in how the week goes

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      FPL Discovery

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would guess Vardy = 13/(100-20) = 16% and Duffy = 12/(100-20) = 15% are the most common options (Son is the most popular VC at 20%)

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just to round out the other Son VCs
        Eriksen = 14%
        Aguero = 12%
        Sterling = 7%

        1. CarsonYeung
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers mate

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably you get an idea from the normal captain stats. Many have Son C Duffy/Vardy Vc or other way around you'd imagine

  15. KINGS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Son captainers, call Poch to keep Son on bench.

    Whatever it takes..

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is he on Twitter?

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt he’ll come on now. No need.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hope not. Trusting reliable Jimi now.

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Definite 1 pointer incoming

    4. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Son can score off the bench.

  16. Gharvey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I hate this game. Need to find another hobby:)

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I see the problem. This isnt a hobby

    2. Gharvey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good point

  17. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Just contacted FPL for that assist for Davies. Every point counts and you can clearly see the hudds player kicked llorente boot.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Better luck next year bud

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It's so tight my leagues I'm first apart from one who 17pts ahead those were much needed points

  18. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wanyama seems to be a better finisher than many PL forwards

  19. SB8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Waiting for Davies goal or assist!

  20. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    In hindsight why weren't Man Utd players considered captain material this week?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cause they play for Man Utd.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mostly because people didn't bring them in on their WC.... I would have considered Martial if it weren't for Duffy or Ryan.

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure of line up. And they are unreliable.

    4. SB8
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Martial to haul?

      1. yakirh
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully

    5. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      4 losses in 5 probs played a part. Rotation also a factor.

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’m not even that confident about my VC starting, let alone scoring......anyone go Aguero?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just you Jafooli

    6. Gnu

  24. Merlin the Wraith
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rough...With Son trying to avoid splinters on the bench, only a passing interest in this game. Smooth.... been able to listen to 'Pick of the pops' on Radio 2. 1967... Marvellous!!

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Showing your age there my son.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yup! Happy with my 56 years & not ashamed of loving the music of the 60's. So innocent & devoid of the vitriolic nastiness that runs through Britain today. Been great singing along to them. Reflects the beautiful sunny day here in North Wales. Well.. until Poch sends Son on for the last 5 mins. You must be even older if you're referring to me as 'my son' hehe!
