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.

    Wait. I do believe...

    We all have a compromise there

    Son gets 8 for captainers and Duffy captainers keep the differential. We all win. Handshakes.

      Duffy will do well to match Son 😉

    2. The Ejiptian King

      Firm handshakes all round.

      Sounds fair. 10pts for Erik/Son too is okay.

    Son currently on 3 bonus points.

  14. FlockofSeagulls

    Brilliant from Moura. Happy for the lad.

  15. ZeBestee

    If only Son started this game. Could have been a HUGE haul. Fpl is a game of pure luck.

      This

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      We all knew he was a rotation risk.

    3. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      perhaps he will be the one getting the match ball

  16. SPorting

    Never seen so many people so happy for so little.

    1. MGD

      Haha this

      Never before have so many owed so much to so few.

  17. Rainer

    Better without Harry 😀

  18. Milk, 1 Šuker

    Well done Sonny!

  19. Debauchy
    • 11 Years

    Who needs Harry

  20. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Jealous of Moura owners would be an understatement. Should have tripled up on Spurs mids.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Son only needed 6 minutes to influence Eriksen and his own assist.

    Imagine if he had started FFS!

  22. TheDragon

    Son not looking too bad now - let’s see what Brighton do

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Still quite bad tbh

  23. IRBOX ⚽

    Harry who?

  24. DLL18
    • 12 Years

    All those moaning Son captainers eating their words I hope.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      4pts is a pretty poor return tbh,

      1. DLL18
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Better than 1

  25. DandyDon

    Flip sake. He only had one touch. Bloody assist pushes me outside top 3k as only non owner. Could have been worse

    Wow omg.

    Son's total score matches Duffy's appearance points 😆

    Moura Captain here, lovely stuff when a punt finally finally comes off.

    Spent weeks planning my Free Hit and got a red arrow so definitely needed a punt this week.

      Cheers guys, I hated this game last week after all my BGW planning failed but sometimes you just have to take some time out, go with your gut, try something different and just hope for the best.

      Well done. I was pretty confident with the pick but I didn't want to risk the armband on him or talk it up too much in case he was a massive flop. It just felt right with those Poch comments, the gut feeling was strong. I'm happy with the points.
