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.

    This is gonna be one of those GWs where the template blanks hard isn’t it?! 😆

      100%. The highs of last week will be well forgotten and we'll be looking at a 40ish week

        As long as we all are and not too many of the casuals in my MLs get lucky then I’m ok with it!

    My record with Son:

    Owner: 0 goals, 3 red cards
    Non-owner: 51 goals, 0 red cards

    I've decided to get the RC out of the way early on this time, less painful that way

      Good of you. Taking one for the team like that.

      Are you going to have him next game week? Please confirm ASAP so that we can plan our teams accordingly. Thanks

        I'm most likely free hitting next GW so probably not. Haul incoming in that game if he avoids suspension tonight

    Son looking like a very expensive waste.

    WC template falling apart already.

      Son was a waste in my FH team last week. New owners to feel the same this week, unfortunately.

      He always trolls me yet I fall for it and go back to him every time. I never learn!

    Fernandes 100% effective ownership, 93% KDB, Salah 78%, Jimenez 93%. Alli 2%. I know who needs to score in my team this week!

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

    Son is playing very wide.

    1. Lucy2019
      • 4 Years

      Michael Owens, is that you?

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

        If Spurs concede and don't score they will lose the game.

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          False. West Ham could score more own goals than goals.

          1. Karhumies
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            You nailed it.

  11. Rinseboy

    Flappy to end with a 10 pointer?

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

      Then there's a penalty save

    2. ReindeerHotdog
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No way Spurs don't score in this game. Even if it's 0-0 at half time they'll get a couple.

  12. Nightcrawler

    That was brilliant from fab

  13. Coys96

    Dele loves standing as far away as he possibly can from the ball doesn't he

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

      No negative baps for not trying

    2. Deulofail

      Raumdeuter 😀

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years

        Not keen on it tbh

  14. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    No red card for Son today, please.

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    That was a pretty good pass attempt by Kane, tbf.

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very

    2. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Right into the hands of the running back.

  16. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How is Harry Mahomes doing? Surely he feels at home in this stadium?

  17. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would really love Son to deliver some points for me just once. Every time I fall into his trap he blanks. I need to learn. Here’s to hoping he proves me wrong tonight and does something of note!

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son is wasted in this position

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      I agree.

  19. Brosstan

    Flappy Hands is class tbf. Always loved him as an FPL keeper

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Definitely downgrading son if no other pressing issues this week

  22. TheSteel

    Alli is horrendous

  23. Differentiator

    Great headed clearance from Kane.

    It would set you back about £100 to see this live. Mind boggles.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Kane looking good

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Aye,he is presenting a real threat since that water break.

  29. Differentiator
