Son and Trippier benched as Eriksen starts for Spurs

Son Heung-min (£8.7m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are among the benched players for Spurs in their Double Gameweek 34 fixture.

With already-relegated Huddersfield coming to north London, Mauricio Pochettino has taken this opportunity to start Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.2m) in their place.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) has held onto his place in the side and without Trippier should have a greater involvement in set pieces.

Also, with Son on the bench and Harry Kane (£12.6m) injured, it is possible the Danish international could be taking the penalties too.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) comes in for Danny Rose (£5.8m) at left-back, while Juan Foyth (£5.0m) starts alongside Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) so that Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m) can have a rest on the bench.

Huddersfield have lined themselves up in a 4-5-1 formation with Karlan Grant (£5.0m) leading the line. He has two goals in his last two away trips.

Chris Löwe (£4.4m) and Jon Stankovic (£3.9m) are both playing out of position in midfield.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Foyth, Davies, Sissoko, Eriksen, Moura, Wanyama, Llorente

Huddersfield XI: Hamer; Durm, Kongolo, Schindler, Hadergjonaj; Löwe, Stankovic, Hogg, Bacuna, Kachunga; Grant.

    Would you rather have Doherty or Deulofeu coming off your bench for Son?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hmm. 50-50.

  6. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years

    These goals were earmarked for Son and Eriksen

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I would love a Huddersfield goal.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah cleaning the Spurs clean sheet would be nice.

    Son grew up a huge Huddersfield fan, Poch will give him at least 2 mins on the pitch against his childhood club

    1. Poseidon.

      Son supports Utd

      He confirmed in an interview

        No.

        Son confirmed hes a Huddersfield fan. He was pictured wearing a shirt 2 years ago

        1. Robson-Canoe
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yes he said he always dreamt about swapping shirts with Terence Kongolo

    Well done moura owners. Pretty irrelevant for everyone else except son cappers who should now be safe

    Moura making up for my Vardy cap fail

      I was thinking it would be a good idea if the game introduced a chip to counteract the 'bench wankery' that seems to go on during busy periods of the season.

      You'd get the time between line ups and kick off to change any already made transfers for free and to also make additional ones for a hit as standard.

      But then isn't it part of the game to try and figure out who will start, racking your brains to get inside the managers head before ultimately just doing what everyone else does and spend your Saturday morning into your cereal because you made the wrong decision again?

      1. joakimosterberg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I capped Son and have Trippier so now I hate it. But then there are times when everything goes your way with rotation etc and you would be so annoyed if the game wasn't built around picking the managers brains like you say. I wouldn't mind your suggestion for a chip though, it would only be once and you would still have to pay for transfers, so pretty good idea.

      Well, i had Moura on my WC draft 76 and 124 but not final

      So many jammy Son captainers going to be given another chance when he was a truly, truly awful captain choice.

        How?

      Davies given the assist ?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          First goal

      2. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Guess they reckon Llorente didn’t touch it. Looked like he did to me

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Changed it now

    • Rainer

      Lucas will need a little rest before midweek too.

      Son should come on and haul, even if only 15 minutes.

    • Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Hamer assist for Moura goal.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Did Solado get a touch?

        Seems everyone was being mentioned.

    • The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota in for Son and Duffy C, providing he doesn't get a cameo...

      Come on Poch, do the right thing!

    • drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen, firmino and wilson are players that never delivers in my team

    • Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Son won't come on

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Fingers crossed!

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed. Skipp and Marsh probably will.

      3. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Your forgetting about the consolation goal they’ll concede. Spurs love to concede a consolation goal once coasting. Might spark a Son cameo

    • Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't put it past Son to get a brace off the bench now the gates are open.

    • jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Son in for a hit, Rondon first sub, lol

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'd take Son coming on for the last 10 mins!

    • tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If only Poch has the decency to leave Son and Trippier on the bench.

    • LǝgleSs e|even

      Jwp + Valery 1st subs for Son and Trip.

      That should turn out well and Eriksen (c).
