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.

    Mourinho looking to break Kane before he even gets going

  16. aborg
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking that if West Ham score, Son could be on 3 bonus points ?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aurier yellow would secure Son 2 bonus...

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

    8 and 7 for Son and Aurier owners is still a decent result here!

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years

        A happy Tuesday for all

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Why didn’t Felipe Anderson and Yarmolenko start? Can’t be worse surely?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Anderson is terrible

      Like seriously bad

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You have not watched Anderson for a while I understand.

  22. Sun Jihai

    Will be funny if Salah, Bruno, Jimenez all blank now

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lasted a whole without conceding with yen off the pitch. Didn't take long for them to concede another after they came on.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Reply and spelling fail

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

    Maguire or Aurier for the rest of the season?

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

      Aurier has looked really good in both games for spurs and both have good fixtures. I’d say Aurier has a higher ceiling

      1. Legendary!
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Until Maguire heads in 2 corners

  25. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Moyesy in trouble again. Such a terrible manager.

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

    An assist to beat then.

    DCL(C) can do that against Norwich!

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hope so even tho he ain’t my captain

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

    West Ham why are you so bad

    1. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      David Moyes

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This West Ham performs badly no matter the manager.

  28. Bubz
    • 10 Years

    Declan Rice randomly in the baps

  29. Hect.OR 98th
