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.

    Does Bournemouth performance put you off getting Vardy as possible captain ?

    1. Rainer

      Leicester actually have a striker.

    2. Tcheco

      Fancy a more open game to be honest than this

    Who is that wearing ‘Rico 21’? He’s stopped everything.

    Lose Jimenez or Kane for Vardy? Kane loves a goal against Arsenal.

      i have more faith in Wolves than Spurs.

  4. Team Cruel

    Will this game end before next GW starts?

  5. Duke Silver ☑

    I think they could add 50 minutes on here and Spurs still wouldn't score.

      Thinking the same.

      Awful form
      Mourinho officially lost it

    Would you rather have Fernandes(c) or Fernandes + Martial for this United game?

    1. Party time
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fernandes + Martial

      • Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years

        Me

      • Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'd rather mix it up with Fernandes and Martial

      • Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The latter with Mo (C)

        1. Party time

            😆 hahaha...

      • Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Was Aurier substitution because of injury?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years

          Y

        2. Rainer

          Hurt his arm/shoulder just before subbing, unknown if it’s related.

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Already spent my transfer and with TAA next to benched Lascelles injured and Simpson fodder I may have only one fit defender for GW 35.

        NLD is always a guaranteed goalfest. Might not look likely now but we still got Auba + Saka's good form and then you have Kane and Son up against Luiz and Mustafi.

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Dont agree. We will shut up shop as usual

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            At least 1 penalty for each side and a red card for someone too!

        2. Superflymonk
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Mourinho park the bus mentality will see a 1-0 win to spurs. He's done that with some of the big teams already.

          Arsenal will hammer them on this showing.

        Jimenez to Vardy worth a hit? Y/N

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)

            One of the worst games I have ever seen from Spurs.

              • 7 Years

              No worse than their performance vs Everton last GW, just got a jammy deflection in that one

            4. Lukakuna
              • 7 Years

              It'll be worth it when they bag all the trophies!

            damn... wasted my 2 FT to get Greenwood and Kane.
            I just wanted to defend my 1st spot in the mini league and ended up losing everything. I've never seen a chaser catch up to 60 points in one matchday.

            Soucek was also Spurs' joint-top scorer in June

            At what point do Mourinho's successes get outweighed by his failures? One of the best in the world for a long time but now...

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

              Repost

              Soccernomics says a manager can add up to 15% if I remember correctly. So Spurs' huge decline is more likely down to losing Eriksen and Trippier. That's their creative spine gutted and not replaced

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

            Ings is bigger than Jesus.
