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.

            5 years, 9 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

            Redmond or McNeil for final GW?

            1. popcoin
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Redmond. Form over fixture

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              ... neither?

              1. Coaly
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

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

                1. Monkey Hanger
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Bowen?

                  1. Coaly
                    • 13 Years
                    5 years, 9 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
                      • 12 Years
                      5 years, 9 months ago

                      Seems to be on all set pieces, barring pens.

              Neither if you need to play them.

          • popcoin
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            A) Alonso (WOL) & Dilva (NOR)

            or

            B) Stevens (sou) & KdB (NOR)

            1. Lucy2019
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

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

              1. popcoin
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                Enda

                1. Lucy2019
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Got you now. I would go A, personally.

                  1. Lucy2019
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 9 months ago

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

                Stephens does.

              Still 3 games left.

          • 5678
              5 years, 9 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
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                No

                1. 5678

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

                    Feel like it was barely 2m

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

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

                  09/10 - 2,100,000

                  07/08 - 1,700,000

                  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.

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

                Front line of Auba, Kane, Ings in FH38?

                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Jesus for Ings

                2. Lucy2019
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

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

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

                  Similiar team. Thinking 1, but deciding Auba or Kane

              4. Amey
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

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

                Mike Dean close to getting an assist for Reece James.

                Almost a Mike Dean assist

                how is this for a FH team?

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

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

                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

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

                2. Miguel Sanchez
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                    Hopefully more, but could have an off day I suppose

                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)

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

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  I can’t see Ole dares to do that

                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

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

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

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

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

                Alonso misses an easy chance

                Tired Bruno touch nearly leads to Alonso goal...

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

                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.
