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.

    Haha, Rico hanging on one bap! Ah, Rico, you brought back the memories when 4.0 defenders were hot deals pre-covid

    Can’t wait for the Man Utd game to be over so I can transfer Kane out. Again.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 167 times, shame on me.

      Getting Kane for a hit to cap against Newcastle very early in the season was the start of my downfall this year, he blanked of course.

      Dont think so, even for not hit. Foden should start next right?

    Aurier will get all 3 baps if the score stays at 0-0.

    How many minutes of football have effectively been played in this 2nd half?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years

      4

        Think you’re too generous.

    Wilson free kick goal incoming

  10. El Matador

    I cannot fathom how poor Spurs have been.

    Mourinho needs to retire

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

      He’s just earning his retirement fund

      I think he'd be superb at managing a smaller side.

      But at a big club, I think you need to use a proactive style of play or risk getting draws.

    Greenwood starts. My Egan points stay on the bench 🙁

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why wouldn’t he start?

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

        Why change a winning side?

  13. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Everybody starts. Ings remains on bench. Need Greenwood masterclass to make up for my mistake 😀

    Spurs should be bottom of the league. Simply horrible to watch!

  15. FOO FIGHTER

    Praying for Aurier cleanie and max bonus!

    1. MGD

      Me too man, me too..

    Spurs are lucky there are no fans in the ground to watch this crud.

    AWB, Bruno, Martial all in! What's the betting 1-0 Villa?

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

      Probably even Grealish to add insult to injury.

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

      It's starting to feel like United can beat anyone, even when going a goal down like at the start of the Bournemouth game. Brings back memories. It's the hope that kills!

    Bournemouth running out of players, just in time for Party w/e?

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

    Should I cash out my accumulator with Spurs in?

  20. Dannyb

    Im so glad Mourinho isnt at United anymore, the guy should just call it a day and take up plumbing.

    1. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This gives me flashbacks of going to watch United v Southampton where we lost 1-0 to a great mane goal and our only shot all game was a phil jones 40 yarder straight to the keeper.

  21. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Also, Aurier made 60mins. Would make sense for Jose to rest him.

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

    Kane will now stay at Spurs until he retires. No big club wants him anymore.

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

      Should have left 2 yrs back

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years

      he looks really slow, injuries have definitely taken their toll

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

        All the more reason to be goal hanging and not dropping deep and having to run.

  23. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Come on Kane, a solitary goal as a leaving gift before I make you Vardy would be nice.

  24. Top Lad Dakes.

    3-1 MUN win with Bruno Rashford Greenwood goals and no assists for Martial? I like the sounds of that

    1. Volley127

      Sign me up

    Bringing in Kane cardiff home last season and taking out Aubameyang before 2 braces in a row made me quit FPL for last season. After that day I never have and never will have Kane in my team again.

  26. Niho992

    Just one goal Bournemouth. Lets go

    1. Champions League Varane

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Remember back when lots of people would pay lots of money to see this live? Crazy

  28. SAY MY NAME

    3 years, 9 months ago

    double wolves defence, double liverpool defence, son and kane, needless to say a terrible week, even triple united attack probably won't help as everyone has them, all looked so good on paper on tuesday......

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

      Free hit? So glad i didnt played it because my team would be similar

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        nah, but did take a hit to get kane lol

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

      Pretty similar . .. but had Foster and Azpi instead of the defensive double up ... 32-8 with the three Man U players left, captained spunked on KDB

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        i've got Bruno captain, need him to haul big style!

  29. Nomar

    This is so sad to witness.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nah, it's Spurs' level. Mourinho also isn't the same manager.

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

    Another Ings goal would be nice...
