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.

      1. Party time
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks.
        Jimmy Ings Vardy. I am not pulling the trigger just yet. Incase Jimmy won’t be available although he should.

        Already with Son. I could double up with Kane. Jesus vs Auba, who is the best pick?

        1. Amey
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Jesus

          1. Party time

    4. Party time

  3. Coaly
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Redmond or McNeil for final GW?

    1. popcoin
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Redmond. Form over fixture

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

      ... neither?

      1. Coaly
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Need a 6m mid as a Cantwell upgrade for bench boost

        1. Monkey Hanger
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Bowen?

          1. Coaly
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah Bowen another decent shout.

            Could see him assisting Antonio, but not sure if that’s more likely than Redmond to Ings

            1. Monkey Hanger
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Seems to be on all set pieces, barring pens.

    3. Lucy2019
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Neither if you need to play them.

  4. popcoin
    6 years, 3 months ago

    A) Alonso (WOL) & Dilva (NOR)

    or

    B) Stevens (sou) & KdB (NOR)

    1. Lucy2019
      6 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. popcoin
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Enda

        1. Lucy2019
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Got you now. I would go A, personally.

          1. Lucy2019
            6 years, 3 months ago

            but would wait to see how City line up v Watford.

        Stephens does.

    2. TorresMagic™

      6 years, 3 months ago

      Still 3 games left.

  5. 5678
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry, just repeating my own q from earlier. Anyone know how to see how many people entered the game each year since it started? Reason I’m interested... Obviously the top 10k would have been easier to finish in 10 years ago, but by how much?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. 5678
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Might have been 3m entries total, 10 years ago at best.

      1. riot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Feel like it was barely 2m

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Been playing since 13/14, and, if memory serves, that was something like 5 or 5.5 million total participants.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Well, based on Hazz's comment, maybe memory doesn't serve.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      11/12 - 2,510,000
      10/11 - 2,350,000
      09/10 - 2,100,000
      08/09 - 1,950,000
      07/08 - 1,700,000
      06/07 - 1,270,000

      https://www.game-change.co.uk/2020/02/06/fpl-career-history-analyser/

      I don't know how accurate these values area, and they're obviously rounded, but this is what this site has on the totals - if you input your team ID.

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

        (Actually, a team's ID who has played that long, i.e. Mark Sutherns.)

  6. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Front line of Auba, Kane, Ings in FH38?

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus for Ings

    2. Lucy2019
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not interested in Ings. Either Greenwood or Jesus for me.

  7. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1) Vardy, Pulisic, Doh > Auba, Dilva, 5.1 Burnely def (-4)
    2) Vardy, Pulisic, Jim > Auba, Dilva, Wood (-4)
    TC will be played.

    Rest of squad:
    Pope
    Trent, Aurier
    Salah, KDB, Bruno
    Greenwood
    (Martin; Saiss, Doulgas Luiz, Holgate)

    1. borispkpk
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Similiar team. Thinking 1, but deciding Auba or Kane

  8. Amey
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Frank has to bench Kepa this game. Not cool frank !

  9. Davido989
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Mike Dean close to getting an assist for Reece James.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      🙂

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Almost a Mike Dean assist

  11. Rainer
    6 years, 3 months ago

  12. TheSteel
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1. Rainer

      Portuguese.

  13. Amey
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is there any news on Romero injury ?
    Why the hell is he not starting the game ??
    😮

    1. Champions united
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He will strt in Europa

      1. Amey
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Should have started this one.
        Deserve it

  14. Silecro
    6 years, 3 months ago

    how is this for a FH team?

    Martinez
    Pieters/Bardsley/Long
    Salah/Sterling/Martial/Dilva/Antonio
    Kane/Auba

    Bench: Greenwood, Diop, Lamptey

    1. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

    2. La Roja
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Decent

  15. Ha.
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Kane (c) for GW38 as he sneaks the golden boot?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 3 months ago

      110% captain if he’ll get the Golden Boot.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      6 years, 3 months ago

      First double hat trick?

      1. Ha.
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully more, but could have an off day I suppose

  16. Salarrivederci
    6 years, 3 months ago

    What to do? 😀 1 FT and 1.0 ITB
    A: Just do Pulisic -> Dilva for free
    B: Take a -8 or -12 to fit in 2 of Kane/Auba/Salah
    C: Something else 😉

    Martinez
    Azpilicueta - Aurier - Bardsley
    Sterling - KDB - Fernandes - Martial - Pulisic
    Rashford - Ings

    (Kepa, Doherty, Pieters, Connolly)

  17. gers23
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any concern from Bruno captainers of him being on bench v West ham?

    1. La Roja
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I can’t see Ole dares to do that

    2. Rainer
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Start after 120 vs Norwich is the clue, he’s a machine.

    3. Lucy2019
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ole doesn't rest anyone, apart from maybe Greenwood and even that wont happen.

  18. 272MK
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Come on VAR. Get that assist so Martial stays on bench

  19. Davido989
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Nearly Alonso G, Azpi A.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso misses an easy chance

  21. La Roja
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso clod

    1. La Roja
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Close*

  22. Rainer
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Tired Bruno touch nearly leads to Alonso goal...

  23. diesel001
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Would be classic if Alonso hauls in the FA Cup when everyone wanted it last GW vs Norwich.

  24. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How do you switch off that stupid fake crowd on BBC.

    1. diesel001
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Go to red button coverage.

      1. potatoace

    How’s this FH team?

    Martinez
    Robertson,Bardsley,Pieters
    Sterling, Dilva,Mahrez,Antonio
    Aubamayang,Kane,Niketiah

    Martin,Dendonker,Lamptey,Tanganga

    1. diesel001

      Nice. Keep an eye out for early Man City team news to check all three of your Man City guys are playing.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sexual

  27. Gobigorgohome
    6 years, 3 months ago

    F*** off Jorginho

  28. La Roja
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno struggling

    1. Salarrivederci
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Just his toes 🙂

  29. KingZZ
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I think i messed up by captaining Bruno instead of Martial, also my main ML rival has Martial captained. I am afraid if he gets rested against West Ham.

  30. Champions united
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Once we had scholes gigs and Carrick
    They dnt know the meaning of back pass

    Few years later
    Backpass started....
