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.

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        BOU could haunt you again.

          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think its just spurs who are terrible

    4. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Will Vardy have it that easy against this new watertight BOU defence?

      1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…

        No way....Tottenham making them look good

      Ake is a beast. He’ll look great in our side next term.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hope we can get him

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

          Same. He’ll be dirt cheap if they get relegated too.

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

            Like Maguire

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Leicester got relegated?

        2. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No idea why Chelsea didn't buy him back for £20 million earlier in the season

      2. Amey

        Harry Wilson beware
        He's a monster !!

      3. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If you bring a player on a FH and loses a value, will it affect your TV??

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Just emotionally

        2. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          In the game week history, the team value when you do a free hit is for the team you will be getting back, not your FH players (noticed that last week)

        Harry Kane is sh*t pass it on...

          It's your damn fault I got him in 😛

          Was gonna go Auba or Vardy but you said to roll the dice!

          Finally something right. Benched Jimenez instead of Aurier.

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

            Ederson

              Oh yeah ofc ederson but budget is Fab

          4. Karhumies
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ederson, Alisson.

            McCarthy and Martinez are pretty good as well. Burnley has the most solid def of non-premium GKs though.
