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.

      Last ditch? Easiest game they'll have all season.

      not a bad shout, thinking about Justin or Doherty to him. Had Digne in FH last week

  4. FOO FIGHTER

    Wolves to bounce back vs a very Poor Evertin side. Keeping Doherty and Patrico one more week may turn out to be a good thing.

  11. thepirates
    • 6 Years

    DCL & Mahrez to Ings & Pulisic, good?

  12. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah or Mané rest of the way? Think we could see a Salah rest here in the next one or two.

    Thoughts?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Neither

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've given up 2nd guessing.

      The fixture schedule is bad for everyone. Just get the best players and hope for the best imo.

      They could always score from the bench.

  13. Champions League Varane

    Waiting to see how Rash performs tonight. So that I can decide which one to sell ( Rash or Jimmy) to get Vardy.
    Son could go also.

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This serious? Jimmy has blanked the last 3 and looks flat out useless.

  22. Bobby Digital

    Bruno(c) Rashford and Greenwood let's gooooo!!

  23. james 101

    How’s kane doing so far?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1 SOT whole game from any team

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's not even touched the ball in their box, 11 mins and 8 mins minimum injury time to go.

  24. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Better from Spurs, Lamela wasted Aurier's assist

  25. Tsssst
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    2 FTs
    KDB & Kane to Sterling & Vardy?

  26. Young Lingard
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Aurier on bonus points for actually arriving in the opposition box
    Other spurs players still have time to achieve this

  27. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    People relly sold Salah to afford 11.0 bench fodder?

  28. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hang in there Aurier. I don't think I can handle another disappointment like wolves yesterday

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Remind me why I have Kane in my team?

  30. Shineonme
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you make this move
    -4 Son > Pulisic Jimenez > Vardy ?

    Pope/
    Egan/ / Docherty/ stevens
    Salah/ KDB/ Son/ Bruno/
    Rashford / Jimenez/ DLC

    Subs 3.9 (G) Cantwell / Fernández / Taylor /

    1. AC/DC AFC
