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.

    Not watching, who exactly is the most forward player for Spurs?

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

      Kane but Son is looking really dangerous on the left.

    2. Royal5

      Kane. Son of the counter.

        Thanks guys. Too many comments about Kane in midfield and defence, so was wondering.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years

          Doesnt stop him being most forward

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Justin

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

      Kane

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      Jose.

  2. Royal5

    Impossible to tell if the shot was off imo. Could be reversed.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It was going wide

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not so sure.

          I agree it's impossible to tell if the curl could take it back inside the post but they won't reverse it now.

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Probably right.

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

      if official goals panel has studied it and given it as an OG, like everyone else watching, why would it be reversed!

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It has happened plenty of times post game.

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

          Not when it has already been reversed it has not.

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Sounds like you know best.

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

              Yes, I do. Unless you can provide these plenty of times a goal has been given, reversed and then reversed again?

              1. Royal5
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I still think it's on target tbh

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

                  Fair enough. I was simply pointing out it won't be reversed again as that would make them look more incompetent...

                  1. Royal5
                    • 12 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    Yh. I didn't know about that rule to be honest. So I guess you are right!

      Are you kane or son owner?

      Clear as day the shot was going wide.

  3. sandman58

    3 years, 9 months ago

    WTF?????
    Thats an OG
    How has Kane got an assist for that??....this is disgraceful

    1. Egg noodle

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years

      2. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Clearly whoever is running this game had Kane in there team

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

    Can't believe the amount of people I told Kane was a good option.

    0.00000001% gain.

  5. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lol, that ball was waaay of goal.

  6. teddypicker
    • 14 Years

    Kane will claim it later on Twitter

  7. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years

    This is justice for the Kane ghost goal we didn’t get points for 🙂

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Stoke away couple of years back

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

    Vardy close

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

    Vardy massive chance missed.

  10. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is deflection own goal ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      if off target

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

        Son shot most probably will end behind the net.

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

    Vardy cheeky backheel blocked near line

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

    Now we only need A Spurs OG

  13. Royal5
    • 12 Years

  18. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Son should be giving out sh1te to Lloris there 😆

  19. TheDragon

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy Kane Aurier and Son all to haul today

    It will mean my gameweek is already over despite only having had Ings play

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

      Try having Ings as captain.

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

        It’s so disgustingly bad luck for you.

        Went from a guaranteed minimum 9 points for you before the penalty to a likely 13 and the to a very harsh 4

        This season has been one of extreme swings

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

          Story of my season. Punished at every single opportunity. Can’t wait for it to be over. Worst ever OR of 197k at the moment.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How can Aurier and Vardy both haul.... You expecting Aurier to get 3 assists or something?
