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.

    Sane off the bench to win equalize 1-1 for city, FT, and we are A-okay

    Off freaking course Son scores in the last minute....

    Lucky owners

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Game lasts 90m

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky how?

      1. MGD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Last minute, hardly no involvement, keeps overperforming his stats etc.

        But great for owners, obv.

          It's not luck owning a guy who scores the way he does. Daft if you don't.

          1. MGD
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Well I’m not at all saying he is a bad pick, just that this game - this instance- he got lucky to get away with attacking returns.

            Agree or don’t , I don’t care.

    3. Forza Papac

      Given I lost a shedload of defensive points in the SOU-CAR game after the 91st minute yesterday, nice that a Son 91st minute goal has balanced out my luck today 😎

  7. bialk

  10. Niho992

    Only one blank in last 14 games he started (vs Manchester United)

    What a player. Best player in the game probably.

  11. Midlands Saint73
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Son has an amazing engine.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      His work rate and stamina is outrageous

  14. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    Hazard Sane to Son Mane for 2ft working wonders so far

    Unless Hazard scores a hatty 😉

  15. 007 [RoboKlopp]

    What to do with Sane?
    Have Salah, Son, Pogba and Hojberg.

    1. SirStevieG
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrade to Mane

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mane or Erik it seems

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

    Son only cost Spurs £22 million back in 2015.He has to be one of the best signings ever made in the PL and has been immense for Spurs for the last few years.

    1. SirStevieG
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Suarez was 22 mil to Pool

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho and Salah for 40m aswell

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      One of the best signings ever made in the PL? Man Utd bought Ronaldo for £12.5m

      Have a day off mate

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think the Salah transfer was the time of change for outrageous transfer fees

      After that the market went mental

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison for 50m

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Roy Keane £3.5m

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Obviously he didn’t! 😀

  18. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you captain out of this lot? Son?

    Fabianski
    Robertson, Kolasinac, Doherty, AWB
    Pogba, Salah, Mane, Son
    Rashford, Jimenez

    (Speroni, Bednarek, Sterling*, Kamara*)

    Cheers

  19. Tempestic

  21. FPL Pillars

    So lucky but that’s what you get with a quality player. One chance one goal.

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

      it wasnt even a good finish lol

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky? LUCKY??? Son is never LUCKY.

  22. fusen

    Son is only starting in 66.9% of top 10k teams.

    That goal actually helped a decent number.

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah dropped 1k on his goal

      • 1569Tippins

        It nearly cost me an iphone (non owner)

      • Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but tbh that's probably because they kept their City mid....which could be Sterling...or Sane...

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just outside Top 10 k now, thank you Lloris and Son-- Kun scoring today would be swell...
