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.

    Are you joking?
    That shot was not on target.

      Hard to tell one way or the other.

      1. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        not really

    The Son is shining.

    Who else kept faith in Son?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Dad

    Son, no goals in the eight gameweeks I own him and playing out on the wing, sell him, 30 points in the next three gameweeks, complete luck

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t be like you to say luck in a comment

    2. Revival

      See above, was worth keeping the faith!!

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

        Was surely the right decision to sell with Pulisic and the United mids scoring so well!?

  6. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Sold son for Sterling three weeks back and even though he got a hat trick I’ve still lost pts

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      3 weeks is like 6 GWs, get over it.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        *3GW back. Never said I’m mad about it think I made the right decision

  7. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any chance they change the decision and give that as an OG?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone can see watching it was OG, Son A.

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

        That's what I thought.

        ML rival has Kane captain so no doubt will stand

  8. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    They will change it, the dubious goals panel that sit in a submarine in the middle of the Atlantic will over rule FPL.

  9. LABILLETHEGOAT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    wtf that has to get changed. It was an own goal

  10. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hate Spurs fans and spurs players in FPL (when I don’t own them) grrrr

  11. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ings wood played, vardy to go in this game. Not feeling hopeful

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Whereas ml rival has Pope, Bardsley and son

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      glad i din't take a -4 to get ings in though. even 2 points from vardy is an upside to that.
      Another chance there, reckon he'll get one

  12. panda07

    Has to be an og, that was going wide

  13. LABILLETHEGOAT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    lol they'll change it. it was a justin own goal

  14. Nightcrawler

    Spurs winning actually the only realistic thing that could possibly lead to united missing out on top 4

    Only a leicester defeat here would make the utd game a must win for them

    And only a utd defeat on final day would cost them top 4 imo

    Cant see utd or pool slipping up midweek

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Not really a debate. Clearly an og

    Son could have a field day today 😀

  17. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    That was clearly an own goal and Son assist?

  18. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    WTF kane assist. Its OG, was not on target.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty sure the Sky boys are on it as we speak

  19. Isco Disco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son was clearly putting that in top right corner if Justin’s didn’t intervene

    1. Party time
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This! Definitely on target

      • Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It's was going wide of the post

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

      Son 2 goals in 2 since i sold him.

      At least got gis 13 pt haul

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

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

        Might be given to Vardy....seemed to get the last touch

        1. Chucky

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son playing on the left again, would you include him on a FH gw38??

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      About time I got some luck, if they take the assist off him I swear I’ll.....

    6. Royal5

      A lot of desperate non Kane/Son owners on here.

    7. Champions League Varane

      Justin owner

      Starts to sweat*

    8. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Kane cap, Justin owner 😀

    9. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      if this Kane assist counts, then i'm done. Got Vardy and ML rival has Kane. 4pts difference.. story of my season again hitting hard.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        14 minutes gone.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          yep still.. was waiting for a Kane blank

    10. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was it not aimed at / going towards the far corner?

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

        Far corner of the stadium

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Doesn't matter if he aimed it there. It wasn't going to hit the target looking at the direction and curve on the shot.

    11. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Defo not OG, was massive curl on that Son shot. benefit of the doubt as always

      1. Isco Disco
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        THIS!
        It was heading to top right corner if Justin didn’t intervene

    12. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son has been a huge differential for me! Woooo

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fair play mate, I sold just before Arsenal after having him most of the season lol
