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.

    Dier straits

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He definitely gets money for nothing

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        And his kicks are free

  2. Gudjohnsen

    Reguilon ownership surprises me

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

      Spill the beans

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      All 9 of them on here.

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ub40 ownership…one in ten

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Got him in on WC this week.

  3. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Another defender questioning Trents value. Only got 5 spots

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol 😆

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      😛

    3. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      Meanwhile Trent keeps hitting double digits

    4. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If anything puts pressure on Livra!

    5. Hazz

      Respect you for continuing to dig in the hole you've made for yourself 😛

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm on for 70+ points this week. Hardly a hole

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          79 with Trent here. Think the two assists and 3 bonus are the difference here 😉

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    It’s been dreadful owning Kane

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      12.2m defensive mid. FFS

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bought him in for Lukaku injury & haven’t looked back

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

    If folks watched the Brentford game, how did Mbeumo look? Is it a sideways shift to get Gallagher instead?

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

      He looked a great player but never really looked like scoring

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hit the post!

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

        Was offside if I recall correctly

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Toney's follow up goal was offside. If Mbuemo's effort went in directly it would have been fine.

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

            Yikes. I was about 6 pints in at that point to be fair

            1. Pratik
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Lol 😀

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He was okay, but the fact is Gallagher has end product.

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

      What part is sideways?

    5. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How is it sideways? One is scoring lots of points and the other isn’t

    6. kempc23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Im not sure thats what sideways means…..

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

    This is the last game I'll be watching of Spurs. What a poor watch.

    Moura and the CMs are just so average.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane is the one who looks most average !

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

        He looks shite not average

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I bought Reguilon this week instead of James or Chilwell. Probably still the wrong move but boy did I need that.

  8. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    78 all out not bad when taking 8 point hit to get Kane and captain instead of Salah. Also not own any Chelsea defenders. Really happy with my captaincy this week as Auba got me minus points last gw. Would be great to get a captain call right soon

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

      Yeah 72 all out for my with captain Kane. (I see what you're trying to do 😉 )

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Given up on Kane?

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah. Nothing for him in this game

  9. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foden Benny and marcal out for minus 4

    For cancelo smithe rowe and trossard ( only have 6.7 to spend on mid after bringing cancelo and Smith rowe)
    YAY OR NAY?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Moura instead of Trossard?

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not a bad shout tbh

  10. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Christ, two of the worst goals I’ve ever seen. Talk about jammy..

  11. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Absolutely set for a Son breakaway goal

  12. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Very close to the elusive grey arrow this week.

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livramento, Benrahma and Antonio to Cancelo, Jota and fodder -4 and switching to back 5

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who are back 5 ?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Trent, Chillwell, James, Cancelo, Reguillon

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on the fodder tbh

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’d have Toney, Bissouma and 4.4 fwd

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

    Why is it apparent to be so easy for a managers to be sacked but not players in football?

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do you mean the designation of blame or the physical act of terminating a contract?

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

        Both I guess

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Player contracts far more money. Managers are far more important to results than people realize. Prep is everything.

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

            I guess I’m wondering if the nature of the contracts lean towards to critiquing a manager for unfairly as opposed to players.

            In theory sacking players would save them more money than a manager!

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

              *more not for

            2. Postman Ty
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              That's the crux of it, they can't save money by cancelling a contract. Once they sign they have to pay out unless there's another club willing to take it over.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Players don't get sacked. They get sold. Managers can't be sold, unless new team buys out contract (kind of).

      It's all money.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Buying out a managers contract and a pllayers contract is basically the same. Both cases its the club saying that they are better without them

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Transfer windows. They cant be replaced whereas managers can

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Now why players are never kicked out when they are clearly a burden I dont know. Mourinho and Malouda style

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          £££

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

            They would save more on payroll than managers though in sacking

  15. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My man dier with an assist.. wow

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Reguilon rested

  17. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane & Son both hit the woodwork.

    I better go back in hiding

  18. kempc23
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I think I would rather transfer Kane out for Jimenez for Norwich. That leaves about £5m to get practically any player in the game!

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Apart from mane and Salah which premiums are worth it?

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

    3 - Højbjerg (29)
    2 - Dier (28)
    1 - Dallas (27)

    James (26)
    Reguilón (25)
    Lucas Moura (24)
    Harrison (23)

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

      James is ridiculous. Not even playing and still getting BPS. Magnet.

  20. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why did reguilon come off?

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

      Spurs want 3 points.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rested for Kazakhstan away on Thursday.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Long Europa trip on Thurs. Burnley at 2pm on Sunday. Not convinced I want Spurs players just yet.

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

      Came off early last game too. Probably not fit enough.

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who is more essential?

    A) Kane
    B) Son

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      As a Kane owner Son

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    3. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      None are essential imo as a son owner...

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    5. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      To get rid of? It’s about equal.

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

      Neither..
      But if you plan to have one - A

  22. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Conte almost on the field there.

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He'd do a better job than Winks

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Manquillo, Gray + Antonio to James, Jota and 4.4 FW for -8pts worth it?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not for -8

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Do it over two weeks imo

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

  24. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Being stubborn and not doing Dias>TAA for free this week has cost me 14 points........mad at myself

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Have to ask why you wouldn’t for free?

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Free?? Wow

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How could you be that stubborn.

      Naughty boy!

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ignore these guys, arsenal always sounds like a tricky fixture and Dias if starting was almost a guaranteed cs

        I would have waited on the move, but I would also never have gone without Trent to be in the position

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers, I’ve now made the move 14 points poorer but still in the top 10k (just). Of course Dias will outscore TAA from here on out!

    5. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane a better option than Son going forward?

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Have both and wish I had neither

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure either are playing as forwards

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Neither look good

      4. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Leeds have half a team out & Kane & Son have still looked shiiiite so my advice is clear DONT DO IT!!

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

      After all the brilliant football this weekend this game has been a massive let down.

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

      why is every forward a turd? And the more expensive they are, the more terrible? A bunch of 6m defenders are the real forwards apparently

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Stop ignoring Jimmy.

        1. have you seen cyan
