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.

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Your team link shows you not owning him and capping KDB?

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Weird.. it was missing the last digit.. updated now..should be correct.
          3 top 10k finishes in 4 years.. pipe dream now!!

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Do it

      I captained him aswell. A lad in a money ML tc'd him 😮

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ouch.. unfortunately my ml rivals are nailing their captains!

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      Looks good

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Defo

    5. John Colby (Capt)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Feel your pain. Brought him in with my wildcard. I’d say yes to the -4 transfers.

  6. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Play Lascelles or DCL next week? Thinking Lascelles...

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Take a hit and get rid of DCL

    2. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Do you think Lascelles will start.

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I didn't think the injury was too bad but not sure really. Hopefully

  7. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    We all knew how Mourinho's time at Spurs would end but he seems to be ahead of schedule.

  8. John Colby (Capt)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Calamitous decision to bring in Kane on my wildcard. Should I consider Jesus to play up front alongside Greenwood or is it Vardy I should be looking at?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would opt for Vardy.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm between vardy and ings

      Would prefer city mid to jesus

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers lads. Kicking myself for stupidly believing in a Mourinho striker.

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy next and then transfer out for Jesus so that you have a player that play Bournemouth both GWs? Altough I'm slightly worried Bournemouth might pull some unexpected resuls in the last few gameweeks battling to avoid relegation.

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        - liking that plan Frank.

  9. Wakanda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    KAne and Ali has to go...
    Should i get liverpool assets or City Assets ? Have none

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

    Kane gone already. Hi Vardy.

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

      I'm not doing it. I don't love Vardy either. Think there's some fight in Bournemouth. Plus I want to get rid of Kane and use the funds right away. He'll get a lucky pen against Arsenal too like he has in every NLD for the past 3 games.

  11. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Daniel Levy made an appalling decision to hire Mourinho - what oon earth possessed him to do it? I feel genuinely sorry for Spurs fans.

    1. MidTableFantasy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Poch was their only hope

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Poch was garbage, we'd literally be fighting relegation with Poch at the helm

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          are you a spurs fan? And if so you believe you'd be worse off under him than you are under mourinho?

          As a United fan watching that Bournemouth match brings back so many bad memories!

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

          Lol bruv Poch took you lot to a Champs League final. That’s the greatest Spurs achievement in recent times.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nah feck em.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently Levy has been a huge Jose fan for a long time. I wonder if he still is?

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hmmm let’s see what he does tonight but slightly tempted by this for free:

    A) Rash, Jimi > Vardy, Ings

    Other options are:

    B) Jimi, Doherty > Vardy, Saiss
    C) Jimi, TAA > Vardy, Digne/ Azpi
    D) Jimi, Mahrez > Vardy, Antonio

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

      I like C and then Ings in GW36

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Losing TAA though... eek!

  13. MidTableFantasy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Remember when everyone had Rico

  14. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    2 baps for Aurier 😀

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I feel robbed, he was on 3 baps most of the game

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah all those pinpoint crosses

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

    Jimenez & Trent >> Digne & Vardy (free)

    Y/N

    Does mean an extra hit in gws to come to set up for BB 38

  16. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    There are people out there who targeted this game to TC Kane....!!!

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not after the famous DGW 3 pointer

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Unwritten fpl rule says "dont TC player whos name ends with ....ANE"

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sane last season, Mane this one for total of less than 10 points combined.

  17. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years

  19. yakirh

    A. Aurier (ARS)
    B. Soyuncu (bou)

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Coys96

  20. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

  21. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who scores more next GW?

    Antonio (-4)
    Jimenez

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

      Jimenez is safer

  22. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Couldnt have gone better only owning AUrier from Spurs!

    Hes FPL Gold 😉

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FPL Bronze at best

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

      Well, not to sound greedy, but if he'd scored a goal and not get injured, that would've been nice.

    4. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If only Spurs could score goals and he added some assists...

  23. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hoping Aurier is ok. Need more of his cleanies plus bonus

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

    Wish mourinho would just go away and never come back to premier league

    Rich Man's tony pulis

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

      Pulis boys could score from set pieces lolololol

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

    Kane is FINISHED.

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The penalties will come. He might even face Tunisia again. Keep hoping 😉

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Long time ago?

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for ever - he'll be back when he has a good manager.

  26. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you take a -4 hit for ?
    Jimenez > Vardy
    DCL > Mousset

    I'm anyways playing 3-5-2 with KDB, Salah, Fernandes, Martial, Pulisic

  27. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Just logged in to see Aurier injured. Did it look bad?

  28. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Martial please man I need a hatrick from you

    Don’t let me down

  29. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Don’t worry Kane owners. The PGMOL love giving Spurs penalties against Arsenal. It’s the only way Kane can score these days lol

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Aurier since the restart: 5, 6, 1, 8, 8

    Is he the highest scoring defender in the period?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      AWB should be close?

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      How the f do you get bonus for around 20 wasted crosses
