Mauricio Pochettino has made two big changes to his Tottenham Hotspur side ahead of the visit to Leicester City.

Following the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, he has brought Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) in to replace Christian Eriksen (£8.8m) while Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m) deputises for Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) whose wife has just given birth.

The absence of Eriksen may concern some Fantasy managers still invested in the Spurs attack although he was quite poor against Olympiakos midweek.

Spurs’ backline of Serge Aurier (£4.9m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.5m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.3m) and Danny Rose (£5.5m) remains unchanged for the lunch-time kick-off against the Foxes, whilst the goal-scorers from the victory over Palace in Erik Lamela (£6.1m) and Heung-min Son (£9.6m) retain their starting berths. 

Son scored twice in the demolition of Roy Hodgson’s side, and Pochettino will be hoping for a similar level of impact from his South-Korean talisman at the King Power Stadium. 

For Leicester, Brendan Rodgers has made two changes to the side who narrowly lost out to Manchester United last weekend, with Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) and Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) returning to the starting XI at the expense of Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m) and Demarai Gray (£5.3m).

That tweak might help James Maddison (£7.1m) occupy a more central role after playing on the flanks recently.

After starting the 2019/20 campaign in fine form, the Foxes will be aiming to bounce back from defeat at Manchester United.

The likes of Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) with three goals so far this season, will look to exploit a Spurs defence who once again displayed their fragilities in blowing a two-goal lead against Olympiacos in the Champions League mid-week. 

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi; Perez, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane.

    Looking at that City bench, Sterling is definitely coming on for a cameo. FFS.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      A quick brace? 🙁

    2. FPL Scoop

      Disgusting stuff. Better score at least

    3. Sailboats
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Not if they're ahead by 3 goals

    4. Freshy

    Did aurier save his place at the starting lineup..?

  4. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Sterling to drop to 11.9 by next deadline

  5. Bouncebackability

    Jammy vice captain points incoming

  6. FPL Scoop

    Sterling ever score off the bench?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Never ever

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Yes. 1pt

    3. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Sure he managed one last season.

  7. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    At least I have 2ft’s this week

    Sterling’s gone!

  8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Vice Salah it is then!

  9. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    In all honesty this was as obvious as it can get with Pep. Ive been championing Sterling to Aguero for -4 since the CL games.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      You sound like FPLVirgin

      1. TheTinman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        He sounds like a nob as per usual

      2. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Meh, you can check my history if you want. Not my fault people dont listen.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Next time it could be Jesus and Sterling starting

  10. Kip
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Have the exact funds for zinch+sterling+c.wilson => aurier+son+auba (-4)

    Must hold knee

  11. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Chances of Pukki VC masterclass ruined by Sterling C cameo?

    99.99%

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling gets 15 minutes

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      As a sterling owner non captainer do I want him to cameo?

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      If City are cruising Sterling doesn't come on

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    If Pep plays Sterling he's a f---ing idiot.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Oddly he'll make his decision based on real football not a game we play.

  13. Tsparkes10

    Sterling, Greenwood to Cantwell Aguero looking good for next week lol

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling Greenwood to Son Abraham for me possibly

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        This one

    2. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      I did this for this week lol

  14. BIind Moth

    7 years, 19 days ago

    Fair play to those of you who have a chilled approach to this game. Being VAR'd for the 5th or 6th time this season has taken it's toll. Only one of them was legit too.

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      But you also predicted Zinchenko will start 😉

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Comment fly-tipping. Take it away!

  15. Doctor Evil
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    So dropping Sterling for Aguero was a good shout then. First correct decision I’ve made

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Same

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Nice

  16. dark91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Kane with a Cristiano-sque effort

  17. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    If Sterling stays on the bench, I would have KDB(C) and Rico off the bench, please Pep, please.

    Foulquier bandwagon

    I’m just going to leave the captaincy on Salah. Too much wasted time thinking about captaincy. Yes I captained Sterling

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Ye best not to put any effort into the most important aspect of FPL

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Lol. Salah perma captain will outscore most switching the armband around every week (myself included). Obviously some gw’s (vs city) I’ll captain someone else

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Sterling rested for preston

    1. L'Aeroplanino

  22. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Lol at my luck. Captained Kane and saved my team on safari (iPhone), even refreshed to confirm, then slept. Woke up to see Sterling was still my captain and now he is benched!

  23. Chazz69
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Sterling on the bench. Pépé is losing the plot lol

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Yes it is the main reason Man United are struggling

  24. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Ridiculous that Pep benched his only recognized fit LW...

  25. Total Foot 5
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

  26. Eleven Hag
    • 9 Years

        • 8 Years
