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.

    So we're looking at 6 points from a player at 12 million against Watford, Norwich and Brighton. Shambles.

      1. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Of course, but I prefer my Cap. at least to start the match.

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

  6. Eleven Hag
    • 9 Years

  7. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    The think with sterling is that now he gets his rest he will definitely play next week but low will get rid this week for maybe son or use money to get Kun.

    1. Deulofail

  16. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

  17. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    2. Sun Jihai

      • 11 Years

  19. FDMS All Starz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Now thinking back, idk why I didn’t take a -4 to bring in kun for Sterling and cap kun

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

      I was saying to my mates, if Raz is benched, I'd regret not doing this & knowing how my season has gone, it would happen.

      It did.

  20. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Thinking of Sterling and Zinchenko to Maddison and Soyuncu with 2FT?

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

      Yes

  21. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Problem now is Sterling guaranteed start next week, so tough to sell..

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

      This.

      I thought he was at risk of being benched.

      Hell of a finish by Maddison as I type.

      Had 2 FT so figured taking out Greenwood and Sterling for Cantwell and Aguero was a wise use of them.

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

    Come on Sonny
