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.

    Bournemouth have wasted their chances to score. No chance now.

    Anyone got Kane's penalty area touches for this half? Both in his own box and in the opposition's box

    Kane is useless tbh.

    Not near world class

      Have you been watching this game? City should do whatever they can to sign him. It'd be like a fort with him alongside Laporte.

  9. Brosstan

    Kane has been the man of the match so far, clearing at least 3 crucial headers away that BOU would have scored.

      Mourinho loving it

      imagine a cross into Bournemouth's box. Just imagine it. Cause no way we're going to see it this game

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

        Aurier has tried a few times, just no movement in there

      Ake will probably score or something

      Winner scored by Aurier, naturally.

    Ings is guaranteed 3 bonus right?

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

      Yes, he's like Jimenez

  18. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Lamela, awful.

    1. THFC4LIFE

    Spurs are terrible how far they have fallen from a brilliant team to watch not long ago this.

  20. Superflymonk

    One of my biggest regrets this season was selling Ings... Twice!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Still so cheap

      Bring him back!

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

        Oh, he's already in my team and not leaving till the end of the season.

  21. Brosstan

    Is there a worse midfield duo in the PL than Winks and Sissoko? What a pair of absolute frauds.

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

      It answer why Kane drops so deep to get the ball

      He doesn’t trust his midfield

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Winks is a sideways passing specialist and Sissoko gets a nose bleed when he crosses the half way line, so I agree they are awful

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Everton’s midfield is arguably the worst in the league.

    Sorry, i told someone earlier DCL would get 2 points. I was wrong.

      Kane captain monumental fail.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I could've told you that. I was so close to not even owning him yet alone captain.

      Need Spurs cleanie wiped up. How likely is it?

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

        2%

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

        Highly likely

      3. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years

        Quite, actually

      How many points swing was that Rich YC?

    5. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Question on a free hit.

      If I make a transfer at the start of the window then play the free hit card does that transfer get absorbed into the free hit?

      Trying to find a way where I don’t lose a free transfer when playing a free hit.

    6. Rover

      Does Kane get bonus points for CBIs?

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

        yes

      2. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't know Kane was part of the Confederation of Business Industry. Deserves bonus points for that

        1. Sim Simma

      Well Aurier cleanie is still on which is nice, I guess.

      Having DCL and Jiminez is a real stinker right now. Both useless but no one else to easily switch to.

      1. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        You playing 3 up front?

        1. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeh Rashford is 3rd striker and 3rd Man Utd spot. Saka 5th mid bit crap too. Feel like I need 4 changes to get to a decent 3-5-2

      2. Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Vardy, Ings, Greenwood. Plenty of options.

        1. SomewhatPleasing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          He's got 3 utd, but yeah the others are worthy of consideration

      3. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Where does ditching Jim/Dcl to fodder leave you for upgrading Saka?

        Or do you need to take money out of def?

      4. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Your team isn't linked. Hard to be any help.

    9. gers23
      • 12 Years

      Feels like Bournemouth have missed their chance there. Spurs surely can't be as poor second half.
