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.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Very soft

  3. diesel001

    Two hands in the back of Kane and no pen?

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years

    That's a pen? Looks like it.

  5. Team Cruel

  6. Lucy2019

    That was a pen. Pointless VAR.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      They don’t give them, they don’t even look at them normally

    1-1 both games

  8. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Doesn't matter if it was unintentional, there was definitely a decent shove on Kane there.

    must be a pen. Totally unbiased as a Kane owner. Totally.

    Martial assist. Pulisic touched it too

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Hahahaha well played here

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

        Martial assist is going to be a huge meme in FPL lol

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Yes no doubt about it. Lol

  10. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      A, C, E, B, D

      Cheap defenders probably fit soon not worth moving around IMO

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Mane will start and haul

  12. 20LEGEND
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Defo a Pen, var slags

  13. @persecuted_by_mods
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Stupid challenge but too soft to be a pen imo

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    He would have missed anyway. Happy with just 2 points tonight as a Kane owner.

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Mark doesnt own Kane I guess...

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    If VAR can't call a pen there then it's a pointless system.

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      The ref should look at the monitor

  17. JonSnow
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    VAR is so inconsistent it baffles me, can only think the Bou player had nowhere to go as he was squeezed in towards Kane?

  18. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    VAR a disgrace

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Kane’s diving reputation likely went against him there.

    Streetwise.

  20. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Ake going to be a perfect fit next to Maguire for us

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

    I have Aurier in this match

    That's either a haul or negative points. Exciting times

  22. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Armstrong offside goal.

    1. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Would've been Adams assist and Ings assisting the assister.

  23. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Sterling (bha, BOU, wat) or Salah (BUR, ars, CHE) for the next 3 games?

    Will probably need both GW38 definitely Salah.

  24. Hulk Smash
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Rival has Kane captain but that is a clear pen.

    My issue though is wild inconsistency between what constitutes a penalty in open play vs pushing at set pieces. Pens either have to be given in every game for all the pushing that goes on from corners or none of them.

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

      It’s bullish!!t. Ruining the game.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        There was a big push at one point to stop all the shenanigans at set pieces by giving loads of penalties. What happened to that policy? Apparently it died a death.

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

          Premier league officials. That big push was in the World Cup really and they did a far better job of officiating with VAR. I was a fan of it then, but now......

  25. evilfish
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Please come on Son and save me from Nketiah's -2.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I’d be amazed if he didn’t come on

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

        Good chance of a late goal too.

      2. evilfish
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        It would be just my luck. Nobody was rested when I had Greenwood's 12 points on my bench.

        1. Paul Psychic Octopus
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Rest = 15 minutes with so many subs allowed.

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

            True, I hadn't considered that. Thanks for cheering me up. Can you feel a Son goal in your tentacles?

    2. FPLGyarados
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Same!

  26. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Richarlison would become a great player if he didn’t feel hard done by all the time.

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

      He’s still a kid

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        true

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

      You mean like Zaha

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Similarities definitely

  27. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Where's my DCL hattrick?

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

      9 min hat trick! Impressive

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Iwobi - Davies - Gomes - Gordon

      That’s Everton’s midfield. Good luck.

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Well I'd like an assist or two as well but wouldn't want to be greedy.

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

      I benched him so it's coming don't worry.

      The world revolves around me.

  28. Digital-Real

    Armstrong nearly!

    Been doing this FPL thing for several years, but I've only just started seeing this term: bus team. It doesn't seem to be a team heavy on defense, so what's it mean?

    Excuse my ignorance.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Team you set up long before the deadline in case you are stuck on the bus and cant change it closer to deadline.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Struck by a bus*

      2. Hulk Smash
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 26 days ago

        I thought it was in case you were hit by a bus...

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      To get your team ready for the next GW in case you get hit by a bus......

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

      A team you put in place and just leave alone (i.e. don't make transfers).

      Like parking the bus. Once it is parked, you leave it.

    4. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      There you go, that cleared it up 😆

    5. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Thanks, all! I guess I've been doing bus teams all along, then. 🙂

    6. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      It means what you set your team up as when you are on the bus. First reaction.

    7. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      My meteorite team is set for the weekend.

    8. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I learnt something about how others mean it but I prefer my version.

  30. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Aurier bossing the baps

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

      not for long, Spurs will concede

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years

        Nah
