Harry Kane (£12.5m) owners are in despair after he was named on the bench for tonight’s game against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Mauricio Pochettio has shuffled his pack ahead of Tottenham’s crunch tie against Barcelona on Tuesday night. Midfield maestro Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) is another who finds himself on the bench.

Son Heung-min (£8.4m) looks set to lead the line in Kane’s absence. The South Korean has been in fine form in recent weeks with two goals and an assist in his last three appearances. It will be no surprise to see him register more attacking returns tonight.

Ben Davies (£5.6m) starts ahead of Danny Rose (£5.8m) while Dele Alli (£8.9m) comes back in to the starting XI having come off the bench against Southampton in Gameweek 15. Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) also returns having served his suspension.

Harry Maguire (£5.4m) is named amongst the substitutes for Leicester City. Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.9m) leads the line again in the absence of the injured Jamie Vardy (£8.9m).

James Maddison (£6.8m) owners will be hoping he can find the back of the net for the third consecutive Gameweek. He’s likely to be on spot kick duty if the Foxes are to be awarded one.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Morgan, Evans, Chilwell, Mendy, Ndidi, Iborra, Maddison, Gray, Iheanacho.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dier, Davies, Sissoko, Winks, Alli, Moura, Son.

    Surely Ali and Son are going to get a well earned resty before end of match . They're needed just as much as kane and erik

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Needed against Barc , I mean

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Son and Moura will probably come off as they have had lots of minutes over the last week. But unlikely Kane will come on. Perhaps Eriksen for 15 mins though

  2. Lokako
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kane is coming on,

    Next game

    Erik warming up

  8. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I predict an early standing ovation sub for Son.

    Kane to come on in his place.

  9. Legohair

    My team:

    Patricio-Fabianski
    Alonso-Robbo-TAA-Bennett-WB
    Salah-Hazard-Richarlison-Fraser-Romeu
    Kane-Wilson-Chicharito

    0 itb 1 FT
    How to get city?
    A. Hazard to Sterling
    B. Richarlison&Alonso to Sane&5.0 def
    C. Save and forget about city now

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      a is madness.B is for a hit so i wouldnt.Everton decent defensively so not too much to worry but iw ould worry about palace the week after tho

  10. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 4 months ago

    If Son plays at Barca, he'll surely get benched next weekend as Kane, Alli and Eriksen all have..

    So he could be a trap for those making early transfers to get him for the Burnley game.

    If he's benched against Barca however..

  11. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    52 (-4) with Patricio and Bennett left to go.

    Not bad without Salah I reckon!

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    decent mid under 5.5, snodgrass ? thanks 🙂

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Snodgrass is pretty good. You can get some cheap in the dark web.

    2. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Torreira also looking like a good option

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Poch keeping the bodies in tune it seems, Kane probably gets 10-15 mins.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly this. Even with the game easily won there's always the chance he wants them to keep some sort of match fitness.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Harry's gagging for a goal too, he'll put himself on.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure. Eriksen makes sense as Moura has had a lot of minutes over the last week. Son has also had a lot of minutes over the last week - but will Kane come on for him or someone else

  14. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kane warming up..

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hat, gloves & hot chocolate?

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        😛

    2. child of God
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Shame

  15. GoonerRed
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Okay so eriksen is on which leads me to believe kane may get 20 mins

  16. Shake n Bake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone got any insight as to why Laca was subbed at halftime?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tactical. Formation needed a mix up and emery wanted Auba getting in behind rather than Laca with more creativity behind him

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Emery being daft

  17. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Martial to Felipe Anderson?

    1. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Aye , fixtures !

  18. Mumble Pie
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Alli coming off for Kane .... in 7 minutes a 24 seconds , 23 , 22 , 21 ,20 , 19 ......

    1. GoonerRed
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      For Son I reckon.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      More likely Son to come off. Alli had a rest midweek so will probably get the full game. Question is whether it is Kane who comes on for Son or someone else

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Alli's had a rest for most of the season, where's he been?

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      😮

  19. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Eriks on

  20. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Gonna be fuming if Kane comes on for no reason whatsoever.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      When he comes on there will be a reason for it.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      thiss

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Youll be fine then. Hes coming on to play football

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I know he's playing deep this year but I don't think he's the answer to defend a lead.

    4. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Quick run out ahead of the CL.

    5. GoonerRed
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane putting his shirt on. Sorry guys.

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Do Leicester look like scoring?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, they're still having a go.

  22. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I could use a Kane 1 pointer instead of AWB 1 pointer...

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i want my kamara 5 pointerr

  23. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I'd appreciate Kane coming on just for some points really

  24. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Those who want Kane to stay benched now is the perfect time to wish injury on Spurs defenders.

  25. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I may WC tonight after all. Get Son in as need some Spurs coverage and can't afford Kane as well as Auba, Sterling and Salah.

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    shall i wildcard? 1.9 itb 1 Ft

    Fab, Speroni
    Alonso, Doh, AWB, Dunk, VVD
    Salah, Rich, FA, Fraser, Diangana
    Kane, Jimenez, Laca

    Might have to get in Rash, Son, Auba, Sane, Haz and get rid of Kane and Laca... hmmmm idek

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don't sabotage your good season with silly transfers. Your team is good. Don't get Rashford, he won't score this often

  27. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kane coming on will be a massive win for all non-Salah VCers.
    Kane staying off will be a massive win for those jammy Salah VCers.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      carlsen has luck riding this year.He is the chess champion afterall.So unlikely kane comes

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Need more of this Dele Alli!

    1. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Class Act tonight !

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's unplayable when he's in that form.

  29. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Kane. Those who VC Salah dont deserve that points.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Jinxed it now.

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        What are you saying ?

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This...as a Salah(C)

  30. Mumble Pie
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    It's looking like CS for Spurs tonight .... not much fight in the Foxes this evening - quite disappointing
