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.

    Half wanting sON and half thinking Traore three points off the bench is a game changer

    Holy cow. I took ings out for DCL during lockdown on the slow WC. What a move.

      What was the thought there, pre lockdown eye test or fixtures etc?

      1. denial

          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Go back and look at it. Sounds solid though if that was the case. Can't beat yourself up about it with hindsight.
          If it was a bad call try to learn from it.
          Bloody hell listen to me, I make mistakes all the time

    3. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Just seen your rank & history.
      You don't need advice from anyone.
      Well played mate.

    Fun fact Jimenez has blanked 3 times in a row three times this season:

    GW5-7: 2,2,2
    GW8: 10

    GW20-22: 1,2,2
    GW23: 13

    GW32-34: 2,2,2
    GW35: ???

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

      2

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

      He could. Bigger issue is wolves don’t look interested anymore

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

      that's interesting as I'm not completely convinced of Jimi to Vardy yet

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

      good point, let's keep! Vardy may blank? 😉

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Brace. One more rest day for Wolves could be an advantage for Wolves?

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Only one Wolves

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Sold Richarlison for Martial this week. Confirmed blank for Martial now.

  9. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Kane will never ever be in my team again. Not before he is classified CB on penalty.

  10. g40steve

    Anyone watching both games, which is better?

    Spurs in Q but Eve game on dialup might be better watch?

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

      Spurs are always boring to watch. Eve vs sou has been really entertaining

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

      Sou better. Watching both

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

      I try to avoid Mourinho games.

      I recommend Saints games, whoever they're playing. Always press high so it tends to be end to end.

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Southampton are a good watch. Full of energy and always looking for a forward pass

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

    Digne's ball for the Richarlison goal was phenomenal.

    Don't know if Amazon upload highlights on Youtube like the other channels, but if they do it's worth a watch.

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

      Sky will do highlights on YouTube for it

  12. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Feel like I should get Mane or Sterling and C. But the most sensible thing is probably doing DCL > Vardy for free

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

    Son better score a 2nd half hattie

  14. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son benched as expected after incident with his captain.

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years

      Cut nose to spite face

  15. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years

  17. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would be funny if Evra and Keane started arguing - would bring some fun to pretty poor games so far

  18. fridge
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not sure if I prefer Son to come on or take Saka's 6 points off the bench

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son is on

  19. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    “That’ll teach you, now go and win the game”

  29. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would it be a crazy idea for a -8?

    DCL, Jimenez, Kane

    To

    Jesus Vardy Ings

    Or just -4 Kane and DCL to Jesus and Vardy?

  30. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How many Spurs players would get into this Bournemouth side?
