Son keeps place for Spurs as Dyche freshens up Burnley defence

Son Heung-min (£9.6m) retains his starting place for Spurs in Gameweek 12 following his sending off at Everton last time out.

The South Korean’s challenge led to a horror injury for Andre Gomes (£5.3m) but he had his red card rescinded in the week.

Following a two-goal display in the Champions League, Son is back on the left-hand side of Spurs attack as they host Sheffield United.

Those searching for a budget forward with regular game-time to rely on will be encouraged by Lys Mousset‘s (£4.9m) third start in the last four Gameweeks for the Blades.

Despite a 21-point haul in Gameweek 11, John Lundstram (£4.8m) is the sixth-most benched option for Gameweek 12.

Following an uncharacteristic defeat to Sheffield United in Gameweek 11, Sean Dyche has made two changes to the Burnley defence for the visit of West Ham.

Full-backs Erik Pieters (£4.7m) and Matt Lowton (£4.5m) both drop to the bench allowing Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) and Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) to come in on the left and right respectively.

However, the most important development for the Clarets sees Chris Wood (£6.2m) return to the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 9.

Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) drops down to the bench and Ashley Barnes (£6.3m) holds his place in the side.

Opponents West Ham have also made changes after losing to Newcastle last time out, with a specific focus on the right-hand side.

Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m) comes back in for Pablo Zabaleta (£4.3m) while Andriy Yarmolenko (£6.0m) drops to the bench also.

Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m), who has now started three in a row, shifts from the middle onto the right, with Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) coming into the side for Yarmolenko.

There are also plenty of changes at St Mary’s Stadium as Southampton host Everton.

Moussa Djenepo (£5.2m) makes his first start since Gamewee 5 while Cédric (£4.8m) is handed the right-back berth for the first time since Gameweek 6.

Following recent criticism, Michael Keane (£5.4m) drops to the Everton bench with Mason Holgate (£4.4m) coming in alongside Yerry Mina (£5.4m).

Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) are also among the substitutes this afternoon with Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) and Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) occupying the number 10 and centre-forward roles respectively.

Thankfully for Fantasy managers, there are not too many team news updates from Newcastle this afternoon.

The Magpies are unchanged from the side that beat West Ham last time out, while Lewis Cook (£5.0m) is the only alteration for Bournemouth, Jefferson Lerma (£4.8m) missing out through suspension.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

West Ham XI: Roberto; Cresswell, Balbuena, Diop, Fredericks; Rice, Noble; Anderson, Fornals, Snodgrass; Haller.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Clark, Lascelles, Fernández, Yedlin; Saint-Maximin, Shelvey, Hayden, Almirón; Joelinton.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; Rico, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Billing, L Cook, H Wilson; J King, C Wilson.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bednarek, Vestergaard, J Stephens, Cédric; Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Djenepo, Redmond; Ings.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Mina, Holgate, Sidibé; Schneiderlin, Davies; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Tosun.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; B Davies, D Sánchez, Dier, Aurier; Ndombèlé, Sissoko; Son, Alli, Lo Celso; Kane.

Sheff Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Mousset, McGoldrick.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        If he was really distraught he wouldnt play in solidarity until Gomes is back. Faker. Typical Spurs really.

      Pffft...poor post...

      I’m fairly certain I would have been distraught if i’d had a hand in doing that to somebody.

      Shocking.

  3. Peter Ouch

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, might not score even half of that

  5. SUPER MOKH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Cantwell > Pulisic, would you?

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Lund Cancelo Rico Kelly
    KDB Mane Maddison Mount Cantwell

    Back to basics Burnley!

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see there being many Tories in Burnley

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Think Saints v Everton might be the best 15:00 game to watch. Rest look low scoring.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I am going to watch the Spurs game

      No interest in it just think it will be a good game

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Relegation 6 pointer. Going to be bonkers.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Digne wagon could gain serious pace with points today - Norwich next!

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

      Most entertaining agreed (although Everton do bring excitement down a lot)
      Spurs vs SHU will be most tactically interesting though

    5. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Haha see below 🙂

  9. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Big prizes to be won, if you get them all right.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

  10. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Time to watch Richarlison's audition for my armband v NOR! Prob the most interesting 3pm KO regardless.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'll enjoy watching Lundstram's marauding runs

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Captaincy looks tricky next. Good shout!

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

        between him and Sterling for me... he needs to impress today though!

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best mid 6.1m>?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years

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

        Seems a bit overpriced still in this form

    3. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mcginn

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t think anyone does. Poor value when you can just get Tomori

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A mate played Alonso and azpi on free hit lol

  16. F4L
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    wow Poch actually stuck with a winning line up. Can see 3+ goals today for Spurs.

  17. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    LMS safety score currently 8

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So 8 points from captain is ok right(Abraham)?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah it is really good.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on Vardy.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      more than ok

    4. Salah’s Sonnet

  19. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chris Wilder vs Mauricio Pochetinno.

    This could be very close. For the tactically interested, they could be in for a treat.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Selling for a hit

      1. davies

        To who?

      2. The Pesci challenge

        Already?

  21. Dacra
    • 9 Years

    Best Yarmo replacement for max 7?

    Perez/Tielmans?

  22. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years

    got the right money to do mount to pulisic.......should i?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What if Puli goes on blanks and mount rakes them in? 😉

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        theres always what ifs...... just mounts star is rising......as is his price over the break

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rather take a hit and make sure he's playing in GW13

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

  23. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mark's gone full maverick this season, with Martial (c) and Brandon Williams.

  24. R.C
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How bad did the Ward injury look?

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

      Pulled up, knew he was done. IB might help his case and I’m sure you won’t want him for GW13 anyway. Might just be a hold.

  25. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Marco Silva to be sacked after this game

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

      One of the most boring managers in the league, I’d like that

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If he loses

  26. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Willian 7.1 2.8%
    42 in last 6
    Really going under the radar

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

      Top player wish he had more of a monopoly on set pieces but still a great bargain regardless

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic 38 in the last 3.

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

        Not going under the radar though, is he?

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Can only have 3 🙁

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

      Nailed too !

    5. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He is Chelsea's most consistent player year in year out IMO. So underrated.

  27. Rushford
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Aaah. Not sure who I’m most frustrated at; CHO for not playing, Pulisic for taking his place or myself for believing he should start and not switching for Martial. Got 2 points in 3 GWs from him that’s awful

  28. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    All clean sheets intact 😎

  29. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Dier tackling YC

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Watching the Spurs game just so I can see Lord Lundstram in action 😀
