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.

    Also Spurs with zero shots on goal

    Ings has singlehandedly ruined my season

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

      Him and Pope have been a pain

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I bc at least had Pope before lockdown

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      I'll not be long stopping that. Getting him in Right away.

    Eriksen and Trippier created 32% of Spurs' chances last season.

    1. rjcv177

      big factor there.
      And they didn't want to spend to get Bruno Fernandes 🙁

      1. Piggs Boson

        They really should have replaced them.The two biggest creators at the club.

        Terrible business.

          reason why Poch left (remember on a press conference sayin "that's not my business" - signing players)

          honestly they were in a tough spot.
          they peaked and replace att on starting XI would be very expensive.
          How could you get better than Kane, Son, Eriksen? spend big, and still couldn't handle Liverpool, City, and upcoming United or Chelsea.

    That’s a blatant obstruction, 2 penalties we should have had

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

      Not even close

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Plenty of time to get out the way and stepped across

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Lol where does it says defenders have to move out of the way for attackers?

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Spurs clear pen denied

  6. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Noooooooo
    Digne yellow is -3 points ffs!!

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      small gains 🙂

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have Bou improved defensively or spurs being spurs?

    Thinking of a hit to get in Vardy

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs looked poor going forward

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs bro
      Mou
      Be happy we're his past now 😀

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Absolutely delighted we're rid of him!
        Ole has done a bloody good job so far reshaping the squad

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs being spursy.

    4. michaelington
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Leicester will struggle to break them down. Said this before, don’t trust them for scoring loads of goals. If you’re getting Vardy for a hit then personally don’t think it’s worth it.

  8. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I benched Ings instead of Foden or Jimmy.

  9. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What a crossfield ball by Davies 😛

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    After all that dribbling Ndombele gives that pass

  11. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane ->

    1) Vardy
    2) Ings (upgrade KDB/Sterling -> Salah next GW)
    3) Save

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

      Vardy

    2. Coys96

    Sub Rico, Eddie!

  15. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to lose for Vardy:

    A) DCL
    B) Jimenez

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jimmy

    3. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dcl for me, blanked more than jimi since restart

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If no plans to get them back, may as well sell the pricier Jimenez

  16. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Spurs are completely useless. Mourinho out!

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

      With a big fat paycheck

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

      We fell for it too.

      More fool us.

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

        At least I got 8 points from Aurier although he might be injured now...

  17. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Son + Guendouzi -> Pulisic + Mahrez (benching headache)
    B) Son -> Pulisic/Mahrez (Guendouzi on bench always)

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B. Puli.

  18. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This is the first time I've ever removed a player while he was still playing.....

    Kane to vardy done

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd question your assumption that he was still playing.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Accepted

  19. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Spurs performance reminds me of last few days of Jose's reign at United, where two things were certain
    1- didn't know if we'd score a goal
    2- didn't know if we'd keep a CS

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

      He's way past it sadly. Legend of the game.

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

  20. g40steve

  21. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years

    Rashford hatty and Bruno blank would be something!

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Spurs just want Mourinho out I think.

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

      I'm not even a Spurs fan and I want him out.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same.

    Quick Question - I'm neck n neck at the top of a mini-league.
    If we finish level on points, how do they decide the winner?
    Cheers

    1. have you seen cyan

  30. Greek Freak
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bournemouth so unlucky - Kane may have been my only player in this game but I'm disappointed Bournemouth aren't 1-0 up here.
