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.

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

      Greenwood if he keeps starting.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I already have triple UTD attack.

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

      Greenwood?

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

      Reckon he scores away vs. Man Utd?

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

        It's not improbable, he's no respecter of big teams. He often only needs 1 chance.

  4. Bubz

    Lamelan is such a nothing player

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Naughty

    2. wanVwan

      Stop

  6. sully29

    Mourinho has a remarkable ability to consistently make the opposition look better on the ball than his team.

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

    Iwobi off, Sidibe on

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

    Bottomed.

    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?

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

      Just the -4, can’t see Ings getting enough to warrant a -4 vs Utd. Not sure on Jesus though

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

    Please tell me this is a nightmare. Will probably be my worst GW ever. GW rank 4.8m and Ings, Digne, Richarlison returns, my Kane is a zombie. Just waiting for DCL to finish me.

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’m giving him and Son one last chance against Arsenal (usually come good in that fixture)

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Currently on 4.9m and I *wish* that was my worst ever GW. But yeah, watching Kane lurch around isn't much fun.

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

    Iwobi OFF
    Sidibe ON

  11. Hybrid.power

    Amazing place for a spurs free kick

  12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

  13. TomSaints

    Darkest before the dawn.

    Son 2 attacking returns plus Aurier assist. 23 point return the rashford hatrick later

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

    2. Young Lingard

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Harry Kane brace in second half, Rashford scores an unprecedented 7 goals in a single game, Greenwood benched for James

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Dier from Harry.

  15. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which moves with 2 FT

    1. Maguire + Jimenez > Digne + Ings
    2. Doherty + Jimenez > Digne + Ings
    3. Doherty + Jimenez > Soyuncu + Vardy

    If I go 3, I’ll play Soyuncu only for the game v Bournemouth then I’d play Stephens v Brighton & v Bournemouth

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane ballsed that up.

  17. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Smith in bits

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane taking out Smith = 4 points

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Holy balls Smith is in PAIN here

    He’s panicking

    1. Wild Rover

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You’d never get any of the Aplha’s from the FFS boards acting like that

        They’d have got straight up & played on, and then they’d have gone & dug up a ditch or chopped down some trees or something nice & manly for the evening

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

          Feel guilty now he’s gone and got himself proper hurt

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            It’s only a Ruptured Cruciate Adam FFS

            Walk it off Son

    2. Royal5

  20. Uber Mo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez and Jimi to Foden and Vardy with no hit?

    Would give me
    Martinez (Pickford)
    Aurier Trent Doherty (Lundy Aarons)
    Salah Martial Bruno Pulisic (Foden)
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

  21. Wilshere Knowledge

    Imagine acting like you’re dying because you’re winded. 😆

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It got the play stopped anyway

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

      Remember in that Newcastle game with the Dyer fight with Bowyer, later on Taylor also got sent off for handling in box, went down like he was hit by a sniper.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Legendary moment. Remember watching that with my Dad.

  22. Tcheco
    • 6 Years

      3 years, 9 months ago

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

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

      He could have been killed.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I thought Ings was going to wriggle past 8 players then.

    Strength, agility and technique. He's got the lot.

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

      England #1 at the Euros?

      1. Utopsis

  27. Niho992

  29. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    His dives are getting worse.

  30. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    It’s fair to say the Everton game is more entertaining!
