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.

      Kane sharpness coming back, such a good player when he’s at his best

    • Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Justin Time to see my Son goal downgraded to an assist

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        V good

    • Sun Jihai

      Anyone think the penalty miss rules are a bit harsh? (coming from a non Ings owner)

      You effectively get punished twice in terms of both the -2 for the penalty miss and then bps deductions
      In contrast a player missing an open goal just gets the latter
      And it's not like a penalty is a guaranteed goal anyway - statistically about 1 in 4 miss and interestingly this season only 11 of the 20 penalties awarded by VAR have been scored
      It also seems particularly harsh if the player wins the penalty themselves

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

        Ye it’s hugely harsh for the reasons you say. Certainly adds to the drama though!

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

        yes not an ings owner but swing of 7 points is very harsh there. very lucky for my team he missed!

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

        Nah.

        On the other hand, it would have been an easy, undeserved for Ings, 4+ points.

        There needs to be extra punishment for the risk.

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

        Yes, Ings owners...

      5. E25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The BPS rules are ridic anyway.
        I agree if you win a pen and score it you should get more than just goal points. On the flip side of that, winning a FK 25 yards out that gets scored doesn't warrant 3 points for an assist...

      6. GE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        On the other side players that score a penalty should not be awarded with the same points as a goal in open play IMO

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          A goal is a goal. But they could reduce the amount of +bps a player receives for it.

      OH FFS

    • Differentiator

      Goal Accreditations panel fraudsters

      Kane is claiming it anyway so FPL should honour.

    • SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Assist for Kane still showing on fpl

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

        Probably saving it for the next time he assists Son.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years

          Haha

      2. diesel001

        Give it 5 minutes. They have to process it.

      What happened to Ryan fraser? He’s the biggest one season wonder since michu

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

        Downed tools

      2. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't sign a new contract so Howe won't play him. They definitely missed him.

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Out of contract so left Bournemouth before the restart.

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

        gone on strike so he can move for free uninjured.
        will be interesting to see where he ends up next season, competition for Pepe at arsenal perhaps?

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

          In the Shaqiri role at Liverpool

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Was linked a year ago. Not so sure now but Arsenal do love signing a player for free!

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane will still claim the assist

    • LABILLETHEGOAT
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

    • Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years

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

      That ball from Kane for Son itself deserves an assist. What a beautiful assist

    • fr3d
