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.

    Davies YC opens up the BAP race.

    Are Spurs just having a bad season or are they in genuine decline? They have no cover for Kane, Alli hasn't been the same player for a long time, Alderweireld can't get a game. A midfield of Winks and Sissoko doesn't strike fear into anyone and I don't rate their recruitment much either.

      Next season we will see. A full Mourinho pre-season. Will be interesting to see how they do.

        I think he's lost the plot. Sacked next season.

      I switched over to the snooker half-way through the first half. I think they're pretty poor to watch...

    I thought that was a lovely tackle.

  4. Now I'm Panicking

    Think Moura flicked it then came off Sanchez

    Combined EO in Top 10k of Son OR Vardy is 75%

    So if you own only one of Son or Vardy or none of Son or Vardy, you are still alright. Owning both is not good at the moment.

    I’d intended to do Grealish and Aguero to Son and DCL today but i missed he deadline.

    Could turn out okay though.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero to punish sellers from the hospital bed

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Hope so!
        I’ve got Nketiah coming in off the bench, so not too bad.

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

        Hahaha

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

      Aguero likely injured though.....

    3. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Isn’t kun injured?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. It would have been for -8, and was effectively Son and DCL vs Grealish and Nketiah. I might just get away with it.

  22. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    That's Lo Celso's first ever attacking return in FPL. Knew he would come good.

  23. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Does Aurier have any real competition for his spot?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      no

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

      Nope. Even Mou said that.

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

      Not while Foyth and Tanganga are injured.

    4. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A red card.

    Very happy Aurier owner.

    TAA Doherty Aurier. Best defence atm IMO.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      So much counting chickens before they’ve hatched going on...

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      Alonso has a strong case.

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

      I'd rate Robbo/VVD just above Serge Aurier 😉

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    The game will open up towards the end as West Ham need to score
    This should create plenty of opportunities for Son's pace

  27. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Imagine Trent in that position

  28. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Another long 15 minutes for Son non owners.

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Son to mahrez or pogba?

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

      Pogba

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      See note Pog does in his next game. If he’s starting again he’s class.

  30. Brosstan

    Son absolutely wasted on the wing, and robbed by VAR. Pathetic from Mou and the VAR team
