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.

    Kane was never fast but he looks so so slow lately. I wonder have injuries taken their toll.

    1. Royal5

      Wild guess but could it have something to do with him being injured for months plus the corona break?

        A nice chant of "You don't know what you're doing" is needed

    2. The Ejiptian King

    Aurier, as ever, is going to lose baps because of dispossessions, so don't get too excited yet!

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Lovely DCL point.

  21. Magic Zico

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Looks like mour has destroyed his confidence already to be honest

  22. Aurora

    Mourinho. The Great pretender

  23. Steve The Spud

    I genuinely don’t think Bournemouth have improved at all since last GW, we’re just that bad

  24. DALEDOBACK
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son and Jimi out obvious moves?

    Willian and Vardy in?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years

      I did it last night and wish I’d done Sooner

  25. Gw287
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How is Aurier always up there for bonus? Wastes so many good crossing opportunities

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

    Moise Kean actually looked good for a moment there 😯

  27. Lucy2019
    • 4 Years

    DCL owners stunned.

  28. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Can’t believe I ever took Mou’s side instead of Pogs. Man is an absolute fraud

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

    How does Gordon look?

  30. Zen_Master

    Ditching Poch for Mourinho has to be the worst decision Spurs have ever made in their history. Whoever vouched for that move at the club needs to join the unemployment line.
