Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ends with the team news for Thursday night’s meeting between Chelsea and Spurs.
The headline decision sees James Maddison (£7.8m) benched for the visitors, with Richarlison (£6.8m) and Brennan Johnson (£5.8m) replacing both him and the injured Timo Werner (£6.3m).
Hoping to avoid a third successive defeat in their chase for Champions League football, Ange Postecoglou has made five changes to Sunday’s North London derby line-up.
Ben Davies (£4.3m) is out for the season, so Emerson Royal (£4.3m) comes in at left-back. Central midfielders Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) and Pape Matar Sarr (£4.4m) push Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.4m) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£5.1m) to the bench alongside Maddison.
As for tonight’s hosts, injury-hit Chelsea make just one alteration to their 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.
Alfie Gilchrist (£4.0m) replaces Thiago Silva (£5.0m) in defence, as individuals like Malo Gusto (£4.3m), Raheem Sterling (£6.8m) and Ben Chilwell (£5.4m) remain absent.
Meanwhile, although Reece James (£5.3m) and Christopher Nkunku (£7.2m) are back in training, they’re not in the squad. Instead, Mauricio Pochettino is forced to name an extremely inexperienced batch of substitutes.
Highly-owned players Cole Palmer (£6.2m), Son Heung-min (£9.9m), Nicolas Jackson (£6.9m), Pedro Porro (£5.8m) and Djordje Petrovic (£4.6m) all start.
