Spurs v Leeds team news: Gelhardt starts as Raphinha and Rodrigo miss out

Sunday’s Premier League action continues in north London as Tottenham Hotspur host Leeds United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Antonio Conte makes two changes to his starting XI, with Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m) coming in for Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m), who miss out through injury and suspension respectively.

Harry Kane (£12.2m), fresh from scoring seven goals in two games for England, leads the line and will be flanked by Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) in a 3-4-3 formation.

For Leeds, Raphinha (£6.7m) is ill and Rodrigo (£6.3m) has a minor foot injury. As a result, Joe Gelhardt (£4.5m) makes his first Premier League start, while Mateusz Klich (£5.4m) will be deployed in the more advanced midfield role.

Patrick Bamford (£7.7m), Luke Ayling (£4.3m), Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m) and Robin Koch (£4.3m) all remain out.

    Anyone else's players don't get any returns when you watch them play and only get them when you're not watching the game?

        I wont, just wonder how bad it will be rank wise. At 66k atm

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Kanes 5 goals will sting a bit

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Leeds have no players that anyone owns so it’s only really son and Kane that can hurt you

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Only

    3. F4L

      2 years, 5 months ago

      in before shock Leeds 1-0 win

    4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      Spurs players are low owned and no Raph, should be fine

      1. TorresMagic™

        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Well autosubs outside Livra do well.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Surely nobody benched players like James/Chilwell etc

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Rudiger, Jimmy, Gallagher, Dennis, even Chilwell got benched.

            1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Mental, wish I had that kind of luck

      2. Esalman
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I have Son (C), he has 30% effective ownership somehow.

    5. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Me neither!

      I might watch the first 30 before going out for some pick up footy down the street.

      Can’t have everyone I guess - bought in Gallagher and TAA with my frees instead of Spurs players so that worked out real well.

    6. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Scouting time!

  6. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any other Meslier owners around these parts? Say a prayer for us will ya

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs not had a shot on target last two prem games

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Well that’s about to change sadly

  7. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Toss a coin to Gelhardt of Rivia

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    The Reguilón scouting begins. Let's see what he can do in a prepared Conte team...

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not the best judge, Leeds without their only player who carries a threat

  9. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So 82 all out now its time to scout Contes Spurs plus a bit of behind sofa hiding no doubt too.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Quality score!

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks! Watkins scoring helped. No skill there just haven't had time get rid of him!

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Time to ship Raph?

    3 meh fixtures to come without most of his team mates back and then an absolutely horrible run from 16-20 where they face Liverpool, Chelsea and city in the space of 4 games?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wasn't it 4 with this one?

    2. RamaJama

      Next 3 matches looks ok,

      1. Stranger Mings

        I can see Brighton not concedy c Leeds though

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry Conceding v Leeds

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one. There is some appeal in the high goal involvement/talisman like players for teams that aren't in other competitions in this congested winter fixture period.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes he ok but been a bit lucky with his goals and they are scoring 1-2 goals a game match

        Likes of jota are more appealing atm

  11. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Crazy stat:

    Tottenham haven't had a shot on target in either of their last two Premier League games, with their last such attempt coming in the 44th minute of their defeat at West Ham. Since Opta has detailed shot data (2003-04), no side has ever failed to have a shot on target in three consecutive Premier League games.

    1. Template Fergie

  14. 03farmboy

    Kane or son?

    Ronaldo replacement

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If only there was a football game coming up that would make that question easier to answer

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully today’s match will give us some clues

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The correct answer is….

      Both

    4. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      son

  15. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on the following transfers for a hit?

    Williams + foden + ronaldo - >
    TAA + son + benteke (or a 6.4m forward).

    Current team is:
    Steele
    Rudiger James Cancelo Livra
    Salah Jota Foden
    Jimenez Antonio Ronaldo

    Sanchez; gray, Williams, sissoko

  16. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years

    Play a) raphinha v bha or b) king/Dennis v leic

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'd be more worried about the bus.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Sorry I don’t get that ?!

            1. TRE2
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Worry more about not getting hit by that bus

              1. Stranger Mings
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

        2. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No I am just thinking whether worth getting king or Dennis and then benching raph

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Europe in midweek will change things.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeh I know but just thinking ahead

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      being ill nowadays usually means covid,he may be out anyway for brighton

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would have been tested.

  17. POGON 1948
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best sub 7.0 midfield options?

    Already have Cornet, Raphinha

    Early thinking has me on Gallagher and Zaha, any others for the watchlist this week I'm missing?
    ESR is an option too but in my case my ML rival has him.

  18. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foden new knock? Did it look serious?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He'll play midweek.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I didn’t see a knock. Assumed it was because he had plenty of minutes ahead of time and they were cruising.

  19. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livramento to Cancelo with ft and go 4-4-2? Would give me below team

    Still have my WC as well

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Rudiger
    Salah Jota Raphinha Gallagher
    Kane Antonio

    Mbuemo and White on the bench

  20. Steve The Spud
