There are two Premier League matches kicking off simultaneously at 18:00 BST, with Bournemouth hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Everton facing Southampton.

There is bad news for owners of Son Heung-min (£9.7m) and Lucas Moura (£7.1m), with both of those wide-midfielders dropping to the bench at the Vitality.

Steven Bergwijn (£7.2m) and Erik Lamela (£5.7m) come in for those two players.

The suspended Eric Dier (£4.8m) will be unavailable until Gameweek 38+ and is replaced by Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) at centre-half, meanwhile.

Two more popular Fantasy Premier League purchases, Serge Aurier (£5.1m) and Harry Kane (£11.0m), keep up their post-restart ever-present records.

Kane, Aurier and Son all have double-digit ownerships in the top 10k, with almost one in four of these managers owning the Korean.

For the hosts, Callum Wilson (£7.4m) returns from a two-match ban and replaces Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) in attack.

Dan Gosling (£4.8m) for Lewis Cook (£5.0m) is the only other change for Eddie Howe’s side following their 5-2 defeat by Manchester United.

At Goodison Park, Mason Holgate (£4.4m) misses out for Everton with an injury he picked up on Monday evening.

Yerry Mina (£5.3m) replaces the sidelined centre-half, while Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) for Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) is Carlo Ancelotti’s only other alteration from the starting XI that lost at Spurs in Gameweek 33+.

Alex Iwobi (£5.6m) recovers from a hamstring injury to start, while the fit-again Theo Walcott (£6.2m) is among the substitutes.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has unsurprisingly kept faith with the same 11 players who beat Manchester City on Sunday, with Danny Ings (£7.3m) again leading the line.

This fixture features the second-most-bought FPL forward of Gameweek 34+, Ings, and the second-most-sold striker, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.3m).

Both of those players are owned by more than one in five of the top 10k.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Smith, Kelly, Aké, Rico, Lerma, Gosling, Brooks, King, Stanislas, C Wilson.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Lamela, Bergwijn, Kane.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Iwobi, Gomes, Davies, Gordon, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Pieters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond, Adams, Ings.

      How is that connected?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        It is obvious that Mourinho is angry at Son for not tracking back.

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Same, seems like im the only person on the planet that doesnt own Aurier.

  2. The_Fish

    Kane blank, Spurs concede.

  3. Egg noodle

    Let's go Aurier. Just need 15 points from you.

    Could it be worth it to get rid of my Wolves players for Vardy?

    Doherty + Jiménez -> Diop + Vardy

    Martinez
    TAA, Doherty, Aurier
    KDB, Salah, Pulisic, Fernandes
    Jiménez, Auba, Ings

    Button, Lascelles, Guendouzi, Simpson
    2 free transfer, 0.0 million in the bank, wildcard, free hit and bench boost chips

    Yay - 9.7 mill Son differential, gonna propel me up the ranks, after falling from 50k to 80k so far this week.

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I hope he stays on the bench now, but thats not gonna happen, have 9 points waiting 1st on bench spot.

      1. OOJ

        no chance i'm afraid

  6. nerd_is_the_werd

    Anyone know why Son is benched for today's game?

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Mourinho probably sending a message after Lloris was pissed after Son not working defensively ?

      It's Mourinho, he likes to punish players

    2. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Spurs fixtures 3 days apart, Bou is a good time to rest a key player before NLD

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Probably just rotation.

      But I'm going to pretend Mourinho has fallen out with his star player who will leave in the window. The club is just going through the normal Jose cycle. Yep, definitely this.

    4. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Tight schedule .... Arsenal has twice as many days rest before this weekend's meeting

  7. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Maybe I'm reading too much into this BUT

    After Gomes came back to Everton, they've been really poor

    Thought he was one of their key players? He lost it?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Everton didn't look interested vs Spurs, I'm staying away from them unless they look interested today they might be on the beach

      Posted this during the last Everton game:

      "Davies is too much of a general midfielder, IMO. He isn't attacking enough to justify putting him closer to the striker(s) and getting someone else to do the defensive work. And he isn't defensive enough to leave him to protect the back four.

      If you are going to put him in the team it has to be part of a midfield 3 or, if in a 2, you need another similar player with both of them highly tactically aware so that when one goes forward the other stays back.

      I don't think Gomes and Davies are *that* tactically aware to form a good partnership."

    Manchester combined XI?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      A formation where both Bruno and KDB fit...

    2. Orion
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Why?

    3. ZimZalabim

      city first 11 with maguire laporte cbs

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Ederson
      AWB - Laporte - Fernandinho - Shaw
      KDB - Pogba
      Mahrez - Bruno - Rashford
      Aguero

      4231, no Maguire or DDG this season, ditto for Sterling. Martial not consistent enough.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        You forgot Mendy there

        Interesting

  9. Brosstan

    lol, rewatching highlights from Bournemouths last game. Imagine believing Kane will blank this game 😆

    1. Lucy2019
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Moved C to Bruno last minute. Instant regret and when I went back to change it the game was updating.

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Imagine

  10. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Son benching crashed the servers

  11. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Is Lascelles out for long?

    1. SackWenger
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I hope not - defence really suffering. Cahill, Lascelles and Holgate giving problems that was compounded by a Nketiah red.

  12. Hotdogs for Tea

    Son kills FFS Towers

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years

      Son vs tired legs could be gold

    #$%$&#
    Going to need some Aurier to get a brace. Would settle for hat trick, too. 😉

    Son to get--what--30 minutes maybe? Could use a hat trick there, too.

    Go big or go home, right?

  16. diesel001

    I blame Mourinho for the FFS servers failing.

    1. Lucy2019
      • 6 Years

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

  18. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Feel sorry for the Son owners, staying loyal didn't pay off, that said, he can haul off the bench when he comes on.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

    Fifa taking over the full control over VAR. What can I say, finally...

    "Following the successful launch period where FIFA worked in conjunction with The IFAB, we would like to inform you that all VAR-related activities will now transfer to FIFA."

    Pierluigi Collina and Arsene Wenger, both hugely influential voices inside FIFA, have shared their frustrations over VAR's inconsistent use in some competitions around the world.

    Collina, as chair of the FIFA referees' committee, has called for universal consistency and Wenger, who oversees football development, has been critical of the lack of pitchside monitor use by Premier League referees.

      Replacing incompetence with corruption, this will end well.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      About time.

      As I have said before, I believe the PL want VAR to go wrong, but they need the fans to hate it so they have a good excuse (i.e. the fans hate it) to get rid of it. Part of that plan was not to use the monitors.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years

    Get ready for DCL double figure score!!!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Looks like he can't even control a football right now I'd be very surprised

  29. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Hoping my Armstrong punt pays off, anyone else own him?

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Aurier at it early.
