Alli returns for Spurs as Bergwin drops to the bench

Dele Alli (£8.3m) is straight back in the Spurs line-up for Gameweek 31+ as Spurs host West Ham in a London derby.

The mid-priced midfielder missed Double Gameweek 30+ due to a social-media-related suspension but has no issues breaking back into Jose Mourinho’s team at the first time of asking.

Alli takes up the number 10 role, fulfilled by Erik Lamela (£5.7m) against Manchester United, hoping to get back to his pre-lockdown form, which yielded five attacking returns between Gameweeks 24 and 29.

The return of the England international sees Lamela drop to the bench, but Double Gameweek 30+ goalscorer Steven Bergwijn (£7.4m) suffers the same fate.

His wide-attacking midfield berth has been handed to the returning Lucas Moura (£7.1m), who missed the Manchester United game through injury.

While Alli poses some potential as a differential, the main Fantasy focus from this London derby will, of course, be on Son Heung-min (£9.7m).

The South Korean is owned by just 7.9% worldwide, but he still sits in 40% of squads inside the top 10,000 managers.

Furthermore, 6.7% of those at that level have handed him the armband for Gameweek 31+.

As ever, there is little interest in the West Ham assets, their 4-3-3 line-up probably more encouraging for the 6% invested in Serge Aurier (£4.9m) more than anything else.

Still without a recognised striker in the starting XI due to Sébastien Haller‘s (£6.8m) injury, David Moyes has named a front-three consisting of midfielders.

Pablo Fornals (£6.0m), typically deployed in the middle, sits on one side of Michail Antonio (£6.9m) with Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) on the other.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Balbuena, Diop, Fredericks; Rice, Soucek, Noble; Fornals, Antonio, Bowen.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, D Sánchez, Dier, Aurier; Sissoko, Lo Celso; Son, Alli, Moura; Kane.

    He's walking. Might be okay.

    Spurs don't have another RB...

      Kane will slot in.

    If spurs improve defence and maybe Aurier is not forced to make so many recovery tackles I would get him in

  3. Royal5

    Aurier in trouble

    1. The Ejiptian King

    If you transfer now, then free hit, will your team go back to the team with transfers?

    If you free hit, and not transfer, do you get two transfer the following week if you have two saved now?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      No. No.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      No and no

    3. Karhumies

    4. The Ejiptian King

      Free hit cancels all transfers made that GW and you'll only have 1FT after using it as well.

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No transfers before FH will be valid and you will have 1FT Next GW

      It was always like that and always will be. Get used to it if you plan to be here during the matches

    Aurier’s ankle not stopping him from sprinting into an offside position

    1. Lucy2019

      Hopefully get more points than Barnes. Can't be that difficult.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        Off at half time

  9. JustPark
    • 8 Years

    Not worth risking Aurier, Mou. Bergwijn can play RW.

      Maureen says differently. Care to explain how you have a more strategic insight than the man in the seat?

      Like every other Covid19 game.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years

        this bar City and maybe Wolves most games I have watched have been so slow

  18. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Someone tell Kane this is the end of the season not the start.

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Someone needs to tell him it's the end of his career!

  19. JamTart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If Aurier is okay to continue he may well punish me for picking AWB over him!

    Essentially a winger that gets cleansheets

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      and only 4.9 at that!

      1. JamTart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It's the fact Spurs never keep a CS this season so far that put me off. If that looks like changing I'll reconsider. But West Ham having chances

        1. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          True but i dont really think anyone (myself included) got Aurier for his defensive potential..which is weird to say for Mourinho team xD. I wont turn off tv if they concede

    2. FPL_Devil
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      But he doesn’t get clean sheets

  20. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Maguire or Aurier for the rest of the season??

  21. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Honest question...is Kane still considered world class? I know all players are rusty but he hasn’t looked like a threat in either game so far and looks well off the pace and OOP (in the wrong way).

    1. Lucy2019
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He was never world class.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I agree with you But I’ve heard lots who rate him that highly. I think he is a good finisher on his day but he is not creative enough, he reminds me of someone like Cavani

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, he looks a different player than 3 years ago when he was unstoppable.

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      José says he can fix him

    4. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say world class is top 5 in that position. I can think of 5 strikers I'd put above him.

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Been out injured for quite some time. Give him a chance. His ability to link up play is some of the best around, terrific passer.

      Just not a flashy dribbler.

    6. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      INjuries caught up with him IMO.

    7. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I lost interest in him as a player when he stole that goal from Eriksen in the race for the golden boot, which he didn’t get anyway

    8. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He was until he was tested on the world stage

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He won the golden boot at the World Cup!

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Most if not all of his goals were penalties. The flukiest way to win the golden boot I gotta say

    9. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hasn't been the same player the last couple of seasons, injuries seem to have taken the little burst of pace that he had, he can't get back in the box now when he drops deep which he still insists on doing, should just play as an outright poacher, he's still a great finisher.

  22. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Took a risk bringing in Kane (c) instead of Rashy.

    Looking like a monumental mistake

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Eek

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agree Spurs look wooden

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      have faith. Kane never looks good now and still can get a pen followed by a worldy out of no where

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      65 minutes left.

  23. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Noble is obsolete. They should really get someone new in midfield.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  27. KGFC
    • 7 Years

    Looks like 4 or even 5 defenders is the way to go... Lockdown has had a massive impact of these players

    1. Karhumies

      This.

    Anyone who watched the Leicester game want to give me the executive summary? Thanks.

      Boring and crap

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Unanimously damning. I've got Soy on my bench which is a bit of a shame. I wasn't really considering any other Leicester players.

    6. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think I watched it? I was sat in front of the tv but can't remember anything that happened.

  30. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

    Shd have stuck with Alli over Son

    Looks far more likely to be involved in a goal in this formation
