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.

    Kane has been playing as a forward rather than CM and he’s been taking a good amount of shots. He looks really up for it.

  14. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Does xG take into account falling on your face when shooting?

  15. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 12 Years

    Aguero to Kane done..

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 19 days ago

  17. 3 A
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Sissoko should have red

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Lol why?

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Not from that one

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      he won the ball clearly not a red, a bit wreckless but he won the ball. Some refs wouldnt even give yellow for it

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Big admirer of Maddison but he does like falling to the ground a lot. Was exact same against us, bit like Jack grealish.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    This is the Kane we have been waiting to see

    Kane from a couple of years back

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Yes, 4 goals in 6 games

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        His position is the highest

        Looks like poch has revised his thinking

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

      Ye Kane who blanked v Newc and Palace

      1. La Roja

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

          He got an assist wow

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

      But but he can only score penalties

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      It’s because Southgate is watching.

  20. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years

    Madisson looking for Sissoko to be sent off.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years

      You'll change your mind when Vardy scores. 🙂

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Haha probably 🙂

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

      You would get rid of Vardy before Newcastle H and their upcoming fixtures?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Need to upgrade midfield

    3. Pinturicchio10

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    My rival knows.

    He is the new Vile Ronka.

    He captained Tammy for the brace and now Kane.

    He knows

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      He won't last long

  24. jimmyabs1987
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Lamela looking sharp and good aggression

  25. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Happy to have brought Son and Wilson in this gw. 😀

  26. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Winks should be the first name on Southgate's team sheet.

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

      He's not a keeper though.

  27. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Eriksen seething

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

    Anyone feel like this season every goal scored is as bad as possible for you from an FPL perspective

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      One or two have been good for me

  29. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Are they talking up that goal a bit too much? Another player and they would call it a scrappy finish wouldn't they?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 19 days ago

      No way. It's brilliant and it doesn't matter who scored it.

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

        He swung a leg as he went down...

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

      Jeez so much! Hoddle needs to chill out.

  30. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 19 days ago

    that Kane goal should be goal of the month for sure
