Mauricio Pochettino has pulled the rug from under our feet yet again with a surprise line-up to face Manchester City today.

Both Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are absent from the matchday squad.

According to the manager, the French goalkeeper has picked up a small problem ahead of this match, so Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) is in goal for Spurs.

“He suffered some small problem, muscle problem, but hopefully it’s not a big issue and he’ll be ready for Tuesday.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Meanwhile, there are four centre-backs and one full-back named in the side.

It looks like Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m), Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) and Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) are the back-three, with Ben Davies (£5.6m) and Juan Foyth (£5.0m) on the left and right flanks respectively.

There is better news further up the pitch for Fantasy managers with Son Heung-min (£8.8m) lining up as a centre-forward alongside Lucas Moura (£6.8m), while Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) starts in central midfield.

On the bench for Spurs is Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) and forgotten man Vinent Janssen.

Manchester City’s starting XI is more straight forward, with Sergio Aguero (£11.7m), Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) all in the side.

Phil Foden (£4.5m) makes just his second Premier League start of the campaign in midfield.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Foden, De Bruyne, B. Silva, Sterling, Aguero.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Alli, Eriksen, Moura, Son.

    poor guy, been so unlucky this year
    not a city fan by any stretch of the imagination but feel so bad for the guy
    hope he can get over this one and get back stronger
    Top Top player

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He isnt getting any younger and very crucial age to become a legend. Will probably only ever be a top top player not extraoedinary

      Very much agree

    241 already bought KDB in since deadline. People never learn.

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Which they were in top 10k. Now high rank players hardly panic :/

  4. Jafoole_88

    Kdb fail

  5. bhh
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I feel much better after that. Only have one City asset in Aguero!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      All you need

  6. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

    Thats my season done.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      As for quite a few of us

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    KDB owners get a nice and easy switch to Mane

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Already have him. Can't afford Sterling or Salah without at least 1 hit, probably 2.

  8. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling looks tired already

  9. FPL DONKEY
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Who are the Man City assets that will benefit most from KDBs injury?

    1. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Dilva

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    SCENES when KdB comes back on as 3rd sub

  11. Yoshioka
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    If it's twice as bad that KDB has gone off injured during a DGW, is it six times as bad if you TC him in that DGW?

  12. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Raz is getting no joy cutting inside Sanchez.

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    FPL General captained KDB. That guy has had some of the most rotten luck from what I can tell from his tweets this season lol

  14. fenixri
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think Pool now has more chance to win Prem or KDB missing out wont affect City that much?

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Lol have u seen their squad? They managed top place without him

    2. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      They've done pretty well without him this season so far...

  15. Homer21
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    He was my captain punt......D'oh!!!!

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Thats rough.. unfortunate!

  16. Ode
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling looks tired. Could be taken off early

    1. bhh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Niiiiiiice

  17. Jabba12
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Triple captain KDB. Excellent

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Unlucky

    3. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      3 pts locked in 😉

    4. MTPockets
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Nice. You can join us Sane TCers in the 3pt club

      • Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        If it makes you feel any better, you've matched my Harry Kane (tc) way back at the beginning of the season 😎

        And a lot of people's Sane (tc) in that early DGW

      City passing has been pretty terrible today

      1. HNI
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Give credit to spurs. Been amazing and missed sitter

      2. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        92% completed. Just missing that last pass.

    6. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like I'm keeping Hazard after KDB's injury

    7. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      That's a huge shame. Don't own but love KDB and was planning on moving around things to get him.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        🙁

    8. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      What exactly happend to Kdb? Was hamstring or knee?

    9. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      So who is boosted by KDB being out? The Silvas presumably. Maybe even Foden?

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Son misses again

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Eurgh

    11. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      As it stands, captaining a City player not looking overly exciting.

    12. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hold

    13. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

    14. Ruinenlust

      OMG Son

    15. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Eriksen to Kdb for me

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago
