Mourinho benches Son and Lucas as injured Holgate misses out for Everton

There are two Premier League matches kicking off simultaneously at 18:00 BST, with Bournemouth hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Everton facing Southampton.

There is bad news for owners of Son Heung-min (£9.7m) and Lucas Moura (£7.1m), with both of those wide-midfielders dropping to the bench at the Vitality.

Steven Bergwijn (£7.2m) and Erik Lamela (£5.7m) come in for those two players.

The suspended Eric Dier (£4.8m) will be unavailable until Gameweek 38+ and is replaced by Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) at centre-half, meanwhile.

Two more popular Fantasy Premier League purchases, Serge Aurier (£5.1m) and Harry Kane (£11.0m), keep up their post-restart ever-present records.

Kane, Aurier and Son all have double-digit ownerships in the top 10k, with almost one in four of these managers owning the Korean.

For the hosts, Callum Wilson (£7.4m) returns from a two-match ban and replaces Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) in attack.

Dan Gosling (£4.8m) for Lewis Cook (£5.0m) is the only other change for Eddie Howe’s side following their 5-2 defeat by Manchester United.

At Goodison Park, Mason Holgate (£4.4m) misses out for Everton with an injury he picked up on Monday evening.

Yerry Mina (£5.3m) replaces the sidelined centre-half, while Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) for Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) is Carlo Ancelotti’s only other alteration from the starting XI that lost at Spurs in Gameweek 33+.

Alex Iwobi (£5.6m) recovers from a hamstring injury to start, while the fit-again Theo Walcott (£6.2m) is among the substitutes.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has unsurprisingly kept faith with the same 11 players who beat Manchester City on Sunday, with Danny Ings (£7.3m) again leading the line.

This fixture features the second-most-bought FPL forward of Gameweek 34+, Ings, and the second-most-sold striker, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.3m).

Both of those players are owned by more than one in five of the top 10k.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Smith, Kelly, Aké, Rico, Lerma, Gosling, Brooks, King, Stanislas, C Wilson.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Lamela, Bergwijn, Kane.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Iwobi, Gomes, Davies, Gordon, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Pieters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond, Adams, Ings.

          Why the hell would you drop Son when Spurs already look so toothless, ridiculous.

          At least it’s looking like he’s on at half time

          2. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Son clearly wants to leave or something, its the only explanation imo for that Lloris incident. Lloris thinking Son isnt playing for Spurs anymore.
            Said it last week when it happened and thats my gut feeling, no idea why I kept Son. Altho I dont think Son is liek that and if he egts mintues he will play to his ebst regardless, but he is surely out my team this week

            1. SEXY SALAH
              • 7 Years

              Would have thought that would have been leaked if that was true

                they are quite cagey tbh, hardly anything like that ever gets leaked form Spurs. Only speculation
                The way Mourinho spun it as well makes me LOL
