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.

    Coming into FH time a few week long niggles could be helpful.

    Nothing major.

    Bruno is clearly tired....

    few shocking haircuts on show, mount and williams bot with horror shows

  4. La Roja

    Pogba warming up, Bruno might come off

  5. Rainer

    Pogba sent to warm up since Bruno went down.

  6. Gobigorgohome

    Bruno should not have started this match 🙁

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I said that the other day and was mocked in here

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      100% agree. This was the time to rest him.

    TAA first on my bench in case Bruno is rested for WHU game...

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

      he will come on though

    Rashford Vardy Greenwood the current frontline. 1.1m ITB, 1FT.

    Planning on Mahrez to DSilva already, would you do Vardy to Jesus/Kane/Auba -4?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jesus vs Norwich could go so well. But what if he doesn't start?

    2. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      avoiding hits could give you a tiny greenie... I am probably doing Bruno to Dilva,might just keep vardy as leic would be looking for goals... but it all depends on how I do in GW 37...

    15 Points off top10k after that vardy no-show, wish this awful season would just end.

      Try having Ings as captain.

        Ouch - right decision and going so well before it all went wrong

      2. Party time
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Haha...Oh man! 😆
          How about you try having Mané as TC in the dgw? I bet you can’t beat that 😉

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

            Many can equal it though. 🙂

          2. HollywoodXI
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I did Mané TC as well. Yep, that’s my luck this season.

        Who is your captain this week? if your cappo hauls, the difference could be reduced to less than 10...

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

          martial

          1. Chucky
            • 10 Years

            You are in a great place then still
            Can see Man Utd going nuts against an on the beach West Ham and Martial is being fully rested ahead of it
            Can see Martial (c) getting you 40-50+ points alone...!

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

              hopefully... felt like Ive played awful this year

      I've got pieters first on bench with 12 points. Any chance of getting him on ?
      Who has the best chance of being rested (hopefully) ?
      TAA
      Doherty
      KDB
      sterling
      Foden
      Fernandes
      Rashford
      Aurier was my biggest hope IMO.
      Personally I can see them all getting minutes.

      Anybody give me any hope. !!!!!!!!

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years

      3. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

      4. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Foden but slim hope.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Save it for midweek Alonso !!

    4. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      How is this FH team?

      Ederson
      Digne Pieters Stephens (Long Williams)
      Dilva Salah Martial Antonio (Guendouzi)
      Jesus Auba Kane

      Pending team news. If Sterling starts: Salah to Sterling and Ederson to Pope

      Thoughts?

      TC choices for GW 38:
      A) KDB
      B) Jesus
      C) Dilva
      D) Mane
      E) Kane

    13. Party time

        That is a very serious injury. Could rule him out of next season too

          Harry Kane is so annoying, talks like he is half asleep moves like he is in mid 60's and yet scores goal after goal to finish rather poor his\Spurs season.

          Would take bruno injuries seriously if he didnt roll around 13 times for every contact in the box

          Bruno owners - don’t worry. Even if Bruno is on one leg and plays 120mms today, Ole will defo start him against WH.
