Mourinho benches Alli as Spurs visit injury-hit Sheff Utd

Dele Alli (£8.3m) has been named on the Spurs bench ahead of their trip to Sheffield United.

The England international misses out on a start in Jose Mourinho’s talented attack, fronted by Harry Kane (£10.9m).

Son Heung-min (£9.8m), Lucas Moura (£7.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) are the three options named in attacking midfield, supported by a deeper pair of Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m).

The Fantasy attention will almost certainly be on the South Korean tonight. He is owned by 8.8% of managers worldwide and scored 12 points against Sheffield United back in Gameweek 12.

Those invested in the Spurs attack will be boosted by the line-up that Chris Wilder has been forced to field for the Blades.

Recent injuries to John Lundstram (£4.8m) and John Fleck (£4.8m), have severely limited his options in midfield. With Luke Freeman (£5.0m) also absent with a knock, Oliver Norwood (£4.8m), Ben Osborn (£4.7m) and Sander Berge (£4.7m) start together for the first time in the Premier League this season, Jack Rodwell (£4.5m) the only back-up on the bench.

Jack O’Connell (£4.6m) is still not back from injury either so Jack Robinson (£4.0m) continues to deputise in central defence alongside Chris Basham (£4.6m) and John Egan (£4.5m).

Spurs’ defence continues to offer greater stability though. For the third successive match since Project Restart began, Mourinho has paired Eric Dier (£4.8m) with Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) at centre-back, flanked by Ben Davies (£5.3m) and Serge Aurier (£5.0m) in the full-back roles.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; Robinson, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

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

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Win Son lose Son

  2. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez the one to go for so?

  3. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1 BAP right now!! Will he lose it???

    Amazing turn of events

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He'll lose it.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      According to members area. McBurnie gets the last bap with Son and Kane just missing out.

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

        I'll take his assist and run cheers

  4. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane actually does look sharp though, £100 on golden boot?

  5. I Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Happy he got that assist but Son has to go for Mahrez.

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

      who is not starting today's match..

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That's exactly why I want him...

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

          This

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

          So you want him for only 1 guaranteed match? I dont see Kdb, Sterling and other starters are benched tonight

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        So he'll start next match

    2. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fantasy scout logic. City are even more of a mine field now the title is officially over and they have more important games to come

  6. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Wasn’t expecting anything from Henderson or Egan but man that’s a blow.

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

    Why is Chris Wilder shaking everyone's hands, even the officials? Thought thats a big no-no?

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, but think about it. They're in a dressing room all sweaty. They're tested all the time. Does it really matters? I don't think so.

    2. -Klaus-
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Klopp was French-kissing after last match.

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

      All the precautions were just for the cameras. They’ve let their guard slip now.

    GW 33+ Plans

    Pope
    Doherty AWB TAA
    Richa Salah Bruno Alli
    DCL Rashford Jiminez

    Subs: Mccarthy, Fernandez O'connell Cantwell (0.8 ITB) 2FT

    Which moves do I do?
    1) Richa + Alli---> Mahrez + Pulisic
    2) Richa + Alli + Rashford (-4)-->Mahrez+ Martial + Jesus
    3) Richa + Alli + Rashford(-4)--> Pulisic/Mahrez + martial + Jesus
    4) Richa + Alli + Rashford(-4)--> Pulisic + Martial + Kane

    I'm currently 150k and want to finish 50k

  9. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years

    On a -4 already here. Do I take another -4 to do Son to Mahrez or just be patient?!?

    Pope
    TAA Maguire Doherty
    Salah Martial Bruno KDB Son
    DCL Jimi
    Martinez Nketiah Aurier Fernandez

  10. Cholito

    Wow, what a lucky points for spurs attackers... They can't create a chance, even can't do 1 shot in the second half.

  11. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyway.. Com'on Salh, for the Golden boot!

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

    What's a decent BB score?

    Got 14 this week.

    1. lespaul
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be happy with that

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

      Not bad. I got 8.
      Martinez Saka Fernandez Aurier.

      Absolute shite

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

        Pope saved mine with 9 😀

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

      that's decent.Got 16 myself.

    4. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      got 11 with Saka. Was almost 15 but Lascelles CS lost in last min.

    5. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Better to look at how high your total score was above the average... I think a decent BB is 30+ because you should be playing it in a DGW.

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

      I got 13, Saka was one of them though.

    7. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Got 12 this week, earlier in the season I had a 40!, 27! & couple of 19’s 🙁

  13. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Don't let this distract u from the fact that spurs are below arsenal now

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

      Omg they’re really that bad huh

  14. sirmorbach

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lads, 2 ft, don't know what to do? Any thoughts? They would be much appreciated.

    Patrício
    TAA / Chilwell / Doherty / Aurier / Lascelles
    Salah / KDB / Son / Bruno / Saka
    Jiménez / DCL / Nketiah

    A. Son, Saka out / Pulisic, Saint-Maximin in
    B. Son, Saka out / Pulisic, Foden in
    C. Son, Aurier out / Mahrez, AWB in
    D. Son, DCL out / Mount, Jesus in

    1. Rishi Sehgal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C but I'd take out Chilwell instead of Aurier

  15. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Any chance of Kane sneaking into BAPs?

  16. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Thank you for the parting gift, Son. Now to decide on your replacement...

    ...once I’ve sobered up after drinking myself to oblivion to forget this car crash of a game week.

  28. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford & DCL > Greenwood & Kane for -4?

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have Fernandes and Martial

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Then your final Man Utd spot should be AWB.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sell DCL vs spurs defence? Ballsy

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes but Kane is scoring and greenwood will play!

  29. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
