Son and Llorente lead Spurs attack with Vardy benched

1,390 Comments

Son Heung-min (£8.8m) makes his third start in a row since returning from the Asian Cup last month.

The South Korean has been averaging 7.1 points per game at Wembley since Gameweek 13 and carries the added responsibility of being the most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 26.

Over 550,000 managers opted to sign Son following the conclusion of Double Gameweek 25.

This time he is joined in the starting line-up by the returning Fernando Llorente (£5.7m) after he was benched against Newcastle last time out.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) keeps his place in the midfield but is joined by youngster Oliver Skipp (£4.5m).

Meanwhile, Erik Lamela (£6.1m) misses out on the match entirely with a reported back spasm.

In defence, Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) are selected in a back four, with Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) on the bench.

Claude Puel has made a brave call for Leicester’s visit to Wembley as he has left Jamie Vardy (£8.8m) on the bench.

Demarai Gray (£5.4m) leads the line for the Foxes, while Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) makes his debut in central midfield.

    Spurs fans, just a word.
    When Kane comes back, don't forget what Son has done for y'all.
    Seriously, he is underappreciated to o much. Y'all were fine with Sonny leaving for Asian Cup, but y'all freaked out when Kane and Alli went to the treatment table. Seriously?
    Not a Spurs fan but a fan of him since his Hamburg days, so just annoyed when he doesnt recieve the same love as the Fab Three of Harry, Dele and Erik.
    Rant over.

      I'm sure a fan has a right to choose his/her favourite. It doesn't have to be the most logical choice. If Son was hated despite his contributions that would be different issue.

    Guys my original plan was to transfer out sane and aguero for -4 to say Auba and Anderson. But looking at man city fixtures next three weeks thinking I'd only want to bring them back in.

    How about I transfer in moutinio and marriapa instead for -4 so I a) improve my poor bench longer term and b) they are capable of filling in for one week only. Saving my subs to bring back m aguero sane or is that simply too much on bench?

    Would give me this team:

      Arsenal have a terrible clean sheet ratio. They only Prem club not to get one away this whole season. But does offer attacking returns.

      Personally I think it's only a matter of time until Kolasinac drops out of a regular starting spot, either because of Denis Suarez or because of formation change, or both.

      Don't know who else you have but Salah pog son are template.
      For the others I'd look into fanderson jota mane (if you have cash), for a differential gross has some tasty fixtures.

      Depends what sort of mood Haz is in. But if he can't be up for a match against the reigning champions then that doesn't bode well generally tbh.

    What's with Arnie not starting for Hammers? I know he had injury is that the main reason or is Hernandez ahead of him. Any hammerz fans clear this up for me
