Son and Llorente lead Spurs attack with Vardy benched

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.

    How do Spurs keep winning?! They have been very average for a while, should have even lost to Fulham.

    Fair play to them.

        Son needs Kane to hold ball up and play off as he isn’t a target man...really needs to play off someone

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          he hasnt really struggled without him in general

          1. jimmyabs1987
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I mean in this game, he is running down central channel and last man and has no one to play off

        2. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Nah, Son just likes using Kane as a dummy runner and given the choice will not pass the ball to him and take on a shot at the slightest opportunity instead.

      13. Now I'm Panicking

        Will that count as a Lloris save?

          With 68% + EO (top 10k) it does not make much difference to alot of teams positions OR's anyway.

                They had it originally but got rid as people were using it for personal vendettas and downvoting everything posted by others they didn’t like

            No. Downvotes are cancer.

          Didn't they have surveys once but people quickly abused them so they were taken away? I could well be imagining it though.

          • GoonerSteve
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Moutinho has solid fixtures and great form

            Needs to outscore Mane over this and next two weeks...

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Most people have got Son for him

              1. Eddie
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Needs to outscore Son over this and next two weeks for them...

                Son needs to better Richarlison who I shipped him for.

                Going forward Son is looking a better option than Sane surely.

            • 6 Years

            I went Mane

            I hope not. Taken a kicking recently over transfer decisions and sold same this week for FAnderson and an upgrade of Kamara to Jiminez,

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            if using a transfer to bring in a low priced player at least make sure they have games gw31+33

        7. Eddie

          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

        8. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That would have given as penalty if Salah has done it

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago
