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.

    FPL is stressful

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It is if you let it control you

    2. Lucy2019
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stress is a man made construct, plus, it is just a game.

    3. TheDragon

      We all can get far too wrapped up in it.

      It’s literally just a game on your phone / computer. Step away from technology into the real world. FPL is completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We all obsess over a game we have no chance of winning.

      Just enjoy it for what it is. If it’s not fun the don’t play it’s not worth it

    Yuhooo Aurierrrrr

    Vardy and Ings fail. Unlucky owners.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      at least in the end i didn't take a -4 to swap kane to Ings! Kind of a win

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Jiminez is the one to have this week

        1. Lucy2019

          Hope not, don't have him 🙂 GL.

    If only Ings had of scored penalty. Golden boot to the wire considering tough United game for vardy.

  5. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Had they kept Poch, would it make any difference where they're standing right now?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it Poch had taken the team as far as it could go without investment. Time for something new for Poch & Spurs. Really admire Poch management style btw

  7. FPL Scoop

    What to do with Vardy. Gotta ditch right? That was painful

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you're on Free Hit then yeah.

    2. Party time

  8. aapoman

    Kane in for Vardy and slapping him the armband seems to have perfectly! Still scared because I do not even own Martial

  9. as33
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy>Kane for free?

    1. Lucy2019
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years

      Auba?

      1. Feanor
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Getting Vardy in for Rashford was dumb.

        1. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I guess.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          If Dilva starts, KDB plays very deep.
          Watford game will give us clues mat

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            true. will wait and assess.

          2. FPL Theorist

            6 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate! I was starting to feel like the only one who was going to drop KDB.

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      depends on their next game. if sterling looks good I might go for him

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        thanks dandydon

  11. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why did I think Aurier was in France of somewhere. Left 2nd on my bench and I was forced to play Cresswell. Iv missed something. And btw I dislike Harry Kane very much.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He was in France but then returned earlier in the week

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He was in france

    3. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You could have still started him?

    4. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Should have just played him.

      Either he plays 90mins or not at all. Unlikely he comes on as a sub no?

    5. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Forced?

      Aurier was going to have a cameo.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years

        Wasn't*

        1. camarozz
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Well tbh I was consumed with getting Woods in for his 20 pts and I didn't look into it a whole deal. My own fault...

          1. 272MK
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Lol. I understand. Haha. So focused on other players that we didnt think much about some. Ah well bro. Lesson learned every gw

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy is annoying. One of my few ML differential 🙁

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      time to sell for Auba...

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’m FH bro. He’s already gone

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can't expect him to score every game. Even Salah isn't that consistent. But I think he'll come good next week.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get Kane- going to score well v Palace

    1. DandyDon

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years

  14. Valar(Keith)

    Which would you prefer
    A) VVD + Son
    B) Gomez/Aurier + Kane

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years

      B

    Hoping Man Utd don't somehow find a way to snatch 5th place from the jaws of the top four

    No excuses now with a forward line & central midfield as good as there is in anywhere contemporary world football - time to kick on & get it done

    6 points from last 2 games for third place - even just 4 points from last 2 games and fourth place...

    Just not that 5th place wooden spoon

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4th place is a trophy

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        As Bruce Springsteen once said:

        Down here there's just winners and losers, don't get caught on the wrong side of that line

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I'm just a bitter Arsenal fan. All those years of abuse.

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      if they beat West ham with 5+ goals they could even afford to lose the last one lol

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      6 points from last 2 games is still 4th place on paper though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'd be reasonably confident that

        (a) Chelsea *probably* won't get 6 points from Liverpool & Wolves (note - I've said *probably*)
        (b) There'll always be someone pedantic enough to bypass the actual gist of the post

    4. Rover
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 points from last 2 games will secure 4th

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not sure... have a horrible feeling those 2 points dropped vs southampton will come back to haunt at the death

        1. Rover
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          If we win against Leicester then the West Ham result would have been irrelevant.

          If we draw against Leicester then a draw against West Ham would have been enough.

          If we lose to Leicester, then we would have needed to defeat West Ham by a margin at least 2 times larger.

          A big win in midweek is a must for some security, but it is entirely in our hands now.

  18. Woy_is_back

    Cant wait for the Martial hatty vs the Hammers 😉

    1. Party time

      Imminent 😉

    Who are the no-brainers for a final gameweek free hit?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      not sure about no brainers but digne salah d silva and auba have been in every draft so far

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      There aren’t any. There are 15 + viable attacking options. Total lottery

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Tony M

  21. Sun Jihai

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Man Utd surely going to go all out vs. West Ham to have enough of a goal difference lead that it doesn't matter even if they lose by a couple or two to Leicester in the final game.
    West Ham are basically safe now and so they will all be on the beach.
    Martial and Rashford in the golden boot race too.
    Wednesday night is going to be epic for FPL and those who capped Man Utd assets!

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Commentator said injury kept him from starting. Presumably minor and just an excuse to rest.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Oohhh ...
          Have Greenwood as sub so hopefully no show if injured ...

          1. Rainer
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            He’ll surely appear here so likely no Greenwood.

      yep if only...still 4 points better than 2 🙂

    2. Duffy Dunk

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Or if Redmond scored Ings’ assist

  28. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Was Ings injured? I'm just catching up! Was it bad? Do we need to sell?!

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on if hes injured or not and if the manager picks him.

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