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.

    1 additional point is good enough for me. I sold Salah robbo arnie for -8 for son kane trippier.. captained kane and VC trippier...

      Wow that’s rough. Sorry mate.

      I just posted below about considering similar moves and thankfully didn’t go through with it.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers buddy. Was me not paying attention and rushing transfers. Time for some patience now.

  5. Lokako
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kane: MUSTARD! That was his answer when asked what do you like most, MUSTARD or Ketchup?

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I can only surmise that that's because he's not completely and utterly mental.

  6. Pooodle
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I posted on here earlier in the week asking whether I should remove Robertson, Salah and Arnie for TAA, Sterling and Lacazette (-8).

    That would have cost me 58 points considering I captained Salah - phew!

    Wilson in for Arnie seemed like a good result in comparison.

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

      Bit of a long winded way to tell us you captained Salah.

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Just thankful for the bullet dodged!

    2. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Trust yer own gut old boy

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yup the -8 just really didn’t feel right.

    3. Goat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You didn’t post that in here.

        1. che
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          What was the advice you received?

          1. Pooodle
            • 17 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            One saying to do the hit, two saying to do Arnie to Wilson which I did.

            1. che
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Could have been even better then, nobody saw the Wilson hammy coming. Nice work

              1. Pooodle
                • 17 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Cheers mate. Yeah that was unfortunate - I wasn’t expecting much from him this week though so just hope he’s fit for next.

    Salah, Hazard and Alonso out on a WC working an absolute treat!

    I know WCs shouldn't be judged on one week but this has been by far my lowest post WC score ever 🙁 .

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      that WC is a bit of a toilet tbf

      unlucky mate

        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's the stuff of nightmares really. Going to resist the temptation to change anything bar injuries this week and back em in to right the wrong!

    2. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years

      It's the taking part that counts

      Sorry mate!
      ...classic 2018/19 tho.
      Think I might follow suit, and activate my WC tonight—to bring a team least 2 of them back in (after taking a few hits to drop all three over the last few gw’s)...lol

    1. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years

      Totally agree! Would have been my MOTM if Alli hadn't been sheer class tonight !!

      • 15 Years

      People did that last year and then he got a hatty against Burnley, who he happens to be playing next

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I assume it's a weird joke. The fact that he was benched pretty much guarantees that he will play all over Christmas.

    3. yakirh

    Saved some money in order to get Kane

    Original plan was to ditch Salah gw17 for Anderson and upgrade Jiminez to Kane so I had both Kane and Auba for the coming weeks

    Should I stick to the plan or just do Auba to Kane?
