Kane misses out through virus as Lucas Moura is handed a start

The final match of Gameweek 11 takes place this afternoon as Everton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

The headline team news unquestionably comes from the visitors, with Harry Kane (£10.8m) not part of Spurs’ matchday squad and about to sit out his first league match of the season.

Lucas Moura (£7.0m) is handed his first away league start of 2019/20 in Kane’s stead, with Son Heung-min (£9.6m), Christian Eriksen (£8.9m) and Dele Alli (£8.4m) retaining their places.

Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) replaces Harry Winks (£5.3m) in midfield, while Ben Davies (£5.4m) fills in for the suspended Danny Rose (£5.4m).

Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) is among the substitutes for the first time this campaign.

Yerry Mina (£5.4m) is fit to start for the hosts but it is Michael Keane (£5.5m), rather than Mason Holgate (£4.4m), who the Colombian stopper ousts from the starting XI.

Fabian Delph (£5.4m) indirectly replaces the injured Bernard (£6.5m), meaning that Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) has to be content with a place on the bench.

Richarlison (£7.9m) leads the line for the Toffees.

Son recorded a 21-point haul in this fixture last season.

The South Korea international was involved in four of Spurs’ goals as the Lilywhites ran out 6-2 winners.

Eriksen and Alli were also on target for Mauricio Pochettino’s side that day.

Lucas Digne (£5.9m) is the only player on show this afternoon who is owned by more than 10% of FPL managers.

Everton XI: Pickford, Sidibe, Digne, Holgate, Mina, Gomes, Delph, Davies, Walcott, Iwobi, Richarlison.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Sissoko, Ndombele, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Lucas.

      Rather than one person, need a panel of 3.

    Why doesn't the referee go to the monitor and check it?

    Watford and now today.

    I thought VAR would stop scabby Spurs but apparently not.

    What the point of Var if this is not a Pen WTF

    Make it up as they go along now 😆

    VAR is a farce. Ridiculous.

  7. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    They took so long because they had to check if Mark owns Gazzaniga

      Good one

    VAR fail. Appalling.

  9. diesel001

    VAR refs need to send decisions to the onfield refs and the pitchside monitors. Was much better at the World Cup like that. All this delegating to an official miles away is making them scared of calling it.

    Everton obviously in the same boat as Watford, can’t afford VAR!

  11. Ask Yourself

    I live near about 45 mins from the VAR room am willing to head over for money

    1. Fred54

      To pleasure them?

      1. Ask Yourself

        If they’re into BDSM

  13. Sailboats

    VAR is useless

  14. Amey

    That was a Pen right ?

    1. Eleven Hag

      Not if u r a gazza owner

    2. Sailboats

      Alli hand is raised above his head and the ball hit his hand. Clear pen.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Absolutely
        Everton should be agree

    Deli Alley essential?

    I've got friends coming over and they are partial to cold meats and cheeses

      Poor effort.

  17. HollywoodXI

    VAR is pointless.

  18. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Forget FPL, FA needs to have a serious re-look into VAR ASAP. Its making PL a laughing stock across Europe. Completely shambolic!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      But it works better in Spain....

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That's what. So its not the technology to be blamed, its the implementation of it.

  19. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    VAR needs to work like it does here...there's a central authority at the home office who works for the league, they're independent w/ no fear of 'embarrassing' the ref and are experts that make the final call. Not the referee.

    Apparently it’s ok to play volleyball now in the Prem.

    Just like the Champs League Final. Why do Spurs not tell players to keep their arms down in the area?

  22. Rainer

    Son crying

    1. Wild Rover

      Witchcraft

  23. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just the way players and managers have to do post match interviews, so should the match referee and video assistant ref.

    I'd imagine there'd be a greater degree of accuracy when you have to justify or explain your decision.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I like this idea

    2. Bouncebackability

      They can hide, too chicken to do so.

      Audio at the time like rugby.

      What's the downside?

    Sundown

  25. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 5 months ago

    2 mins 50 seconds to make an obvious decision to everyone in first 5 seconds.

    VAR 2019 ladies and gentleman. No penalty.

    I’ve wanted to be a fan but that’s it. Killing the game, slowing it down and making just as many howlers.

    Siggy sighting

  27. Differential C (Mark)

    The tech works.
    The people using it are the problem.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      Just like the internet

    I'm a spurs fan. I've been slagging of var all season. Not biased.

    Why is that not a pen?

    Refs need to explain like they so in rugby - ie have the audio to tv and stadium.
