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.

    WC, BB and TC left. 4 gameweeks to go.

    What strategy do you choose?

    WC36, BB37, TC 35/38?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Mane(TC) an option.

      A Man City attacker vs Bournemouth also an option

      Looks right to me.

      Triple D Silva for his last at home against Norwich,
      BB GW 35 and FH GW 36

        Sorry WC36

    How are Spurs looking? Any chance of seeing Son?

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

      Bad and yes

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Awful. I’d hope so. Just he might be playing alongside Kane at centre back.

      1. Young Lingard
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Behave

        Left back
        Wide

  3. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    To regain my ML I need Greenwood to outscore DDG + Aurier + Kane
    Pretty unlikely right?!

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would be unbelievable if mourinho makes no changes at HT

  5. Boxwoods

    Just tuning in. Thrilled with Ings (legend!) goal, but scandalized that JWP failed to yield pen to his boot-chasing teammate (and then missed!).

    I hate DCL with a burning passion

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years

      Him, son and DDG joint top for my worst buys post lockdown

      Total idiot. Who u shipping him for? He has to go right? Even tho he has some good fixtures, but he’s so bad since the restart.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Might punt on Giroud

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

          Yesss me too! Everyone is better than this... ugh don’t wanna be rude...

      I got Vardy for him last week, unfortunately the other part of the move was getting rid of Salah.

  7. Miguel Sanchez

    What price Kane next season?

    9m?

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

      8.5

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

      They'll still overprice him as he's Kane
      10m

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

      9.5 midfielder

    4. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      CBs are never priced that high. 6.5 maybe?

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

      Less than Ings

      5 def mid

        Dendocker not on pens but better in the air
        I’m undecided

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

      10M and he'll still be overpriced.

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

      Absolute joke if he costs more than Ings

  8. beric
    • 12 Years

    Ings and digne, lovely

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Dilly Digne, dilly dong

  9. Gudjohnsen

    Is Kane better than Maguire?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      One is 1/2 the price

  10. linkafu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ings red card will save my season!

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

      F that noise!

      1. linkafu

        😉

  11. TheDragon
    • 6 Years

    Every single one of you who has said DCL is a better option than Ings since the restart - I hate you

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      DCL is way better

  12. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years

    Why did a pick Kane, Jesus Christ

    Ings better choice than Vardy next week?

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

      It’s Utd

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ings Vs Maguire, I don't see why not

      2. michaelington
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It’s the might Danny Ings

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

          Fail. Mighty.

      3. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know, but getting him a week earlier until the end probably better than keeping DCL or taking hit for Vardy?

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. Ings the week after. I’m hoping it’s just spurs making Bournemouth look much better than they are.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        See above, it's my original plan but after thinking again ...

  14. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Captained Kane for the disallowed goal off Lucas hand ball and now captained when denied a clear pen.

    Fkkk you VAR.

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

      The mistake was captaining Kane, tbf.

  15. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son to get big points in this game.
    Mark my words

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

      As long as Kane also does I’ll be ok that that

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

      Kane and Son have an annoying habit of scoring late goals.

  16. Iggypop
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Painful actually watching DCL live

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Roy Keane on this match? Might actually be some entertainment.

    1. g40steve

      Funny guy.

  18. El Magico5

    Need kane and martial to outscore ings. Never happening is it lads

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

      Martial might, Kane however

      1. El Magico5
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If they dont combined then i give up

  19. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    DCL needs to go and cannot afford anyone else good so need to shift DDG out. How does this look?

    DDG + DCL > Alisson (BUR) + Greenwood (SOU) -4

    Should pay off immediately right?

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

      Greenwood is due a benching IMO. Especially as they will play him in the FA Cup

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Interesting okay. We’ll see mins tonight first

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

          Won't be benched.

      2. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Greenwood is due a benching just as much as Fernandes to be fair.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wild idea here, punt on Iheanacho (BOU)?

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      can you afford Giroud?

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

    Saints were playing some lovely one-touch stuff at times.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saints have been incredible this season since that steam rolling. Cant believe I ditched Ings post Corona, he was my hero this season

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

      Redmond is a liability for them. Lots of ability, but doesn't deliver on it. They need someone to support Ings, and Redmond isn't the answer.

  21. Citytilidie

    Is TAA > Digne and Marhez > Salah for -4 madness?

    Rash + Jimi + Nketiah to Greenwood + Vardy + Ings -4 sound ok?

    Needs to be done tonight but not convinced Vardy will do well enough vs Bournemouth.

    If you bring a player on a FH and loses a value, will it affect your TV?

    Very surprised DCL havn’t scoret yet. He is the only player (With EO over 5%) I dont own who have not had a return.
