Mauricio Pochettino has named the strongest possible side available to him for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday lunch-time.

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m) have recently been in and out of the Spurs team for Premier League matches given their involvement in the Champions League.

However, both of them have been selected to face the Cherries this afternoon.

Pochettino has gone with a traditional back-four as Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) line-up at centre-back.

Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Dele Alli (£8.8m) both keep their places in the first XI while Son Heung-min (£8.8m) comes back in after missing the Champions League clash midweek.

The South Korean was suspended for the first leg against Ajax which will have kept him fresh for today and next week’s crucial matches.

His return to the side sees Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) drop to the bench.

Meanwhile, those who sold Spurs assets for Gameweek 37 will be somewhat nervous when looking at the Bournemouth team.

Unknown goalkeeper Mark Travers has been handed a first Premier League start and as yet is not even in FPL.

Artur Boruc (£4.1m) has been named on the bench while Asmir Begovic (£4.3m) does not make the matchday squad.

Callum Wilson (£6.8m), Josh King (£6.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) all start for Bournemouth too.

    How are players like Ake plying their trade in the Premier League? Shocking

      Sour Chelski fan alert.

      V good player imo. Playing cm but usually a cb, always going to be difficult. I'd take him anyday

    3. LǝgleSs e|even

      No different from Lukaku, Ozil and Sanchez

      Ake is one of thier best players and would get into most teams.
      Versatile, good technique, determined.

    5. MrZ

      Decent CB. Terrible CM

      Would you like to be given a chance to re-evaluate your opinion?

          😀 yeah they will think twice before running down players in future!

    7. The Sociologist

      I'd take Ake in Arsenal's backline in a heartbeat

    Took a punt -8 rash and martial for gray and erik.... agonising decision to put son 1st sub....

    Eddie Howe is no tactical genius, is he? Playing against 9 men and and Bou are so poor

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Used to be candidate for arsenal job

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not far from Emery though.. the guy who still dont have a plan.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        And Howe was a candidate for the England job -
        Because Howe fulfilled the main criteria for the FA
        1) Nice Smile
        2) Can talk in cliches and say little
        3) Young
        4) English
        5) White

      I don't think it suits Bournemouth they are more of a counter attacking team. Clueless when given possession and told to break down opponents.

  4. LǝgleSs e|even

    Who is your VC?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Son

  5. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So, do these goal kicks count as attempted passes from lloris for baps?

  6. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Points for the week so far

    -2pts

    That’s a first!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How many played?

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    No width

  8. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    9 man Spurs and Lloris on course for a 10+ haul.

  9. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How can he leave 4 at the back for so long? I would have took a defender off as soon as they went to 9

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      With CL midweek and the current state of the PL, I'd take the draw and reserve energy for CL

  10. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond a better bet to start next week?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Better than today for sure

        1. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Bench?

      • JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I still plan to get him in.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Took a -4 for Redmond

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I took a -2 to keep son

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          lol

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I was worried when I took out Eriksen for my first -4 of the season that he would punish me. I'm on -2 for this gameweek so it seems my fears are allayed so far.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Same here. Got Pogba in.. but still not convinced Pogba will make up for the hit

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I own Son....

    4. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Was confused as to why Bourne GK had no saves or Baps.. Realised he aint in the game hahaha

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I guess he'll be added before baps finalised just to stop lloris getting any

    5. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      One more save please Hugo

    6. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Riveting game as as Son and Eriksen owner.

      1. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Try being a Son & Boruc owner. This game pisses me off sometimes.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Try being Son owner with Lloris on the bench

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          0/

    7. Londongeezaa

      Ake terrible pass again. Not sour but put him in defence or take him off. .

    8. Never Captain Nicky Butt
      • 16 Years

        The beeb put on a poxy DIY show towards the end of the last frame of the Trump - Wilson session. Eejits.

    10. Brosstan

      Lloris only 7 points what an absolute fail! Q

    11. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Safe Redmond

    12. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A Wilson goal is the only thing that can make me feel better about Son being a tw@.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        A Lloris CS would do for me.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years

          This

      2. LǝgleSs e|even

        Not going to happen

    13. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lucas Moura playing well again just no end product. So frustrating tijng

    14. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seen them given

    15. Gnu

      Well at least decision of last transfers of season are getting a bit easier to make.
      Small blessings 😉

      1. Amey

    16. Bada Bing

      Cherries holding on for dear life to get a goalless draw with a two man advantage. You can't make this stuff up.

    17. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Son to Pogba?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Deadline was last night...

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Really? Was wondering how Son got a red.

      Listening to the Five Live commentary... I used to find Pat Nevin's little pieces on the BBC moderately interesting, but listening to him live, he is a bone-crushingly annoying twonk.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I can’t listen to him. He just grates.

        1. Warbling Wendy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I don't understand why he constantly adopts a tone of revealing a magical footballing secret that has alluded the general footballing conscious, when all he is doing is pointing out the most mundane, bland things.

      2. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Interesting grav

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Lol

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          probably to offend snowflakes

      Bournemouth are completely unpredictable. Whenever they have good fixtures or look to be in good form they turn up with pathetic displays, and when fixtures and form are bad they win 5-0 away.

      1. MrZ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This is beyond pathetic.
        2 men advantage & holding out for a draw.

    20. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How can a PL team be so poor with a 2-man advantage? Does Howe only train them to defend and counter attack? They don’t even defend well.

    21. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This next Lloris save isn't coming, is it?

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly dont think so. Would be immense and possibly 3 baps
