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.

            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks.
            Jimmy Ings Vardy. I am not pulling the trigger just yet. Incase Jimmy won’t be available although he should.

            Already with Son. I could double up with Kane. Jesus vs Auba, who is the best pick?

            Redmond or McNeil for final GW?

            1. popcoin
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Redmond. Form over fixture

              ... neither?

                • 11 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Need a 6m mid as a Cantwell upgrade for bench boost

                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Bowen?

                  1. Coaly
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    Yeah Bowen another decent shout.

                    Could see him assisting Antonio, but not sure if that’s more likely than Redmond to Ings

                    1. Monkey Hanger
                      • 10 Years
                      3 years, 9 months ago

                      Seems to be on all set pieces, barring pens.

              Neither if you need to play them.

          • popcoin
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            A) Alonso (WOL) & Dilva (NOR)

            or

            B) Stevens (sou) & KdB (NOR)

            1. Lucy2019
              • 4 Years

              Can't answer until the City match and does Stevens not play for Southampton?

                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Got you now. I would go A, personally.

                  1. Lucy2019
                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    but would wait to see how City line up v Watford.

              Still 3 games left.

            Sorry, just repeating my own q from earlier. Anyone know how to see how many people entered the game each year since it started? Reason I’m interested... Obviously the top 10k would have been easier to finish in 10 years ago, but by how much?

              Might have been 3m entries total, 10 years ago at best.

                Feel like it was barely 2m

              Been playing since 13/14, and, if memory serves, that was something like 5 or 5.5 million total participants.

                Well, based on Hazz's comment, maybe memory doesn't serve.

              I don't know how accurate these values area, and they're obviously rounded, but this is what this site has on the totals - if you input your team ID.

            Front line of Auba, Kane, Ings in FH38?

              Jesus for Ings

            2. Lucy2019
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Not interested in Ings. Either Greenwood or Jesus for me.

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            1) Vardy, Pulisic, Doh > Auba, Dilva, 5.1 Burnely def (-4)
            2) Vardy, Pulisic, Jim > Auba, Dilva, Wood (-4)
            TC will be played.

            Rest of squad:
            Pope
            Trent, Aurier
            Salah, KDB, Bruno

              Similiar team. Thinking 1, but deciding Auba or Kane

            Frank has to bench Kepa this game. Not cool frank !

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years

              110% captain if he’ll get the Golden Boot.

            What to do? 😀 1 FT and 1.0 ITB
            A: Just do Pulisic -> Dilva for free
            B: Take a -8 or -12 to fit in 2 of Kane/Auba/Salah
            C: Something else 😉

            Martinez
            Azpilicueta - Aurier - Bardsley
            Sterling - KDB - Fernandes - Martial - Pulisic
            Rashford - Ings

              Start after 120 vs Norwich is the clue, he’s a machine.

              Ole doesn't rest anyone, apart from maybe Greenwood and even that wont happen.

            Would be classic if Alonso hauls in the FA Cup when everyone wanted it last GW vs Norwich.
