Aurier starts again as Leicester and Spurs name unchanged teams

Leicester City continue their push for a UEFA Champions League qualification place this afternoon.

The Foxes head south face to Spurs in their latest pursuit of three points, with kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 16:00 BST.

The team news is very straightforward as both managers have named unchanged starting XIs following wins in Gameweek 36+.

That means another start for Serge Aurier (£5.1m), who has travelled back from France after spending time with his family in the wake of his brother’s death.

It also means a second successive run-out for Luke Thomas (£4.0m) for the visitors, with the budget Fantasy Premier League defender again featuring at left wing-back.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are without Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), James Maddison (£7.3m), Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) through injury, with Caglar Soyuncu (£4.9m) suspended.

Dele Alli (£8.3m) is still unavailable for Spurs but Juan Foyth (£4.8m) returns from a lengthy lay-off and is among the substitutes.

Only one Leicester player has an effective ownership of more than 1% in the top 10k: that, unsurprisingly, is Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), who sits in just over one in five of these squads.

Aurier has been benched by more than half of his owners within the top 10k, meanwhile.

Mourinho’s starting XI may have been unchanged in the last three games but the formation continues to evolve, with Son Heung-min (£9.7m) here playing out wide on the left of a 4-2-3-1 rather than up top alongside Harry Kane (£10.9m).


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Winks; Lo Celso, Lucas, Son; Kane.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Bennett, Morgan, Evans; Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas; Perez, Vardy, Barnes.

    Somehow only 6 points for Son.

      Blame the dubious goal panel for being correct.

      Crazy huh, looked the potential early on for a massive haul.

    Could have had 2 free trannys to the final gw if I knew Serge would have played today :/

        So why asking a mostly UK based audience ffs.

    Which option do you think scores more in 38+?

    A. Ederson, Long, Salah
    B. Pope, Robertson, Jesus

    ?

  6. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Auba and Kane for FH? Pretty tempting after this performance and Jesus only guaranteed 60 mins.

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don't think auba will play

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why shouldn’t he?

    2. Lucy2019
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I am going for it I think. Keeping Greenwood due to cheapness and loading up on City mids.

  7. Threat Level Midnight

    People complaining about Aurier...what would have led you to believe he wouldn’t play? He played in the direct aftermath of the tragedy. There was no announcement then, as there wasn’t even though he had traveled to be with his mother. I guess I just don’t understand the thought process?

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was in France as recently as Friday.

      I still played him in hope he started, but understandable why people couldn’t risk it.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Right, but I guess I just felt something like that would be announced in some aspect? If he was out that is.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was a clear start with cover ready just in case.

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years

      This isn’t an attempt to troll either whatsoever.

      If you were following, he went home to see his mum. Then he was expected back on Saturday for training. But his brother had a funeral on that same day. I thought he was gonna miss this one and come back after. It's alright. I did Taylor > Pieters as my FT this week and played him over Aurier.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well I’d say this worked out in your favor! Lol

    5. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think I viewed it through too much of a personal lens. Couldn’t imagine playing after the awful week he’s had and with funeral / going back to France and the relative lack of importance of the games. Just assumed he’d be out

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This theory makes complete sense.

  8. Bubz
    • 10 Years

    Awful Utd lineup as a Rashford captainer and Martial non-owner

  9. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Vardy fail.... 🙁

  10. Woy_is_back

    D. Doherty

    1. Chucky

        Thats what im on at the moment. I feel like wolves will concede

        1. Chucky
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          yes, benching Doherty and playing double Burnley def and TAA...

  11. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Leicester had 24 attempts. 2nd most after 9-0 v soton

    How has they not scored?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lloris.

      Not many great chances.

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      this is suprising, never looked like scoring this half...

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Great, cheers Vardy.

  13. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    Aurier, Wood, Ingsy.. mediocre hauls all things considered... Season over

    2. Monkey Hanger

      Robbie Keane syndrome.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      Tough paper round

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy to Kane an easy free transfer for 38+?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, looking at this as well.

  17. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Vardy/Wan Bissaka to Kane/Pieters - 4?

    Current team:
    Pope
    Doherty TAA Aurier
    Mane Son KDB Fernandes
    Jiminez Wood Vardy

    Subs: Foden Wan-Bissaka, Lascelles

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years

  19. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

  20. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

    So is Kane now back?

  21. Zimo

  22. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Evans dying for a red.

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My worst decision of the season: taking a hit to bring in Vardy before Bournemouth. Part of that transfer was Son out.

  24. phill1962
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Leicester look like Shite today. Can't pass, trap,n nothing. Oh...and they play slow as hell.

  25. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Evans should have had a red card this match...

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Easily

  26. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Forgot Man U lost 2-0 at home to already relegated Cardiff on the final day last year!

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy blank 🙂

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Better than a -4 for Ings 🙂

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sold him for Wood 😎

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Kane gave you even more Wood.

      2. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sold him for Wood too, but for a hit xD
        Aurier saved the day 😀

  28. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy to Kane for a hit for the last GW?

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      not sure palace, sounded better against Utd. Think it will be a low scoring game. Leicester will need goals last game. Arsenal attack might be better?

  29. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Golden boot race still on

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ings will be kicking himself for that penalty

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Evans knows he can't play against parent club anyway, might as well take an early holiday
