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.

    Kane is still Tottenham's most creative midfielder

    Conte has to realise this soon enough

      • 6 Years

      Ndombele says hi

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

        I've been clamouring for him. Conte has frozen him out because he never really looks like a team player

        It's frustrating. I'm ready to lose Son by GW16. Fixtures won't let me attempt that earlier

    2. el polako

      Post Ole sacking, Conte is probably checking T&C's in his contract in hope that during probation he can leave without notice.

    3. fusen

      Surely Conte will be screaming at Kane to get further up the pitch? The quoted commented about wanting him to stay in the box don't match what Kane is doing now. Unless Spurs' midfield is so bad that Conte thinks maybe he needs to be so low?

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

        If he won't start their most creative mid, Ndombele, then Kane is what's left

        This could go horribly if he insists that Kane stays up top. Kane is a team player with early career experience as a CAM (hence the number 10 jersey choice), and started dropping deep when they lost Eriksen because he saw they needed that creativity

    No Rapinha means Gallagher’s 5 in for me
    Second Mini league rival has Dennis 14 and third rival has Rudiger in for Dias
    Even when I get someone off the bench it’s the worst one 🙄
    :angry:

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

      At least it’s not Livramento off the bench like me

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

    Wow Spurs are poor. Worried for my Kane captain now

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

      He’s due a penalty tbf

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

        That might help get him and spurs going

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

      You realised this now?

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

        Conte had 3 weeks with them now expected to see improvement

    3. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hey, seeing nothing so far worth ripping my team up for

  4. GE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livramento -> Rudiger here if any injuries? (can’t afford any price changes).
    Problem: Bench headache

    (1FT, 1.5 itb)

    Ramsdale
    TAA/Cancelo/Chilwell/James
    Salah/Son/Jota/Raphinha
    Antonio/Wilson

    Bench: Foster, Livramento, Brownhill, Davis

  5. Babit1967

    Jimi off the bench, lovely

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

      Nice

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lol

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

    What to do with Foden? Getting a little annoying.

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

      It looked like he was false 9 on paper but played wide left. He’s quality though and should get a lot of game time. He’s well priced though based on his potential

  8. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I knew it wasn’t just the manager!

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

      Maybe Spurs are too broken now...just can't be fixed

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

        I’m telling you, players are too protected and managers get too much stick.

        Imagine if you didn’t do your job properly, who would get fired or disciplined, you, not your boss.

  9. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Starting to think 5-4-1 might be the way to go...

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

      Who up front?

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

        Does it matter? Pukki or Antonio, no difference.

      2. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Jiminez probably

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

          Ok.

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

        Dennis obviously

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That guy with James, Chilwell, Cancelo, Trent & Rudi 365 OR

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

      Not sold on Reguillon or Emerson yet.The 5th spot is still question mark.

    4. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Go for it.
      Big green arrow when it works, horrible when soft goals sneak in.

  10. fusen
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    The speed of Son there! yet they hardly use that for long balls up.

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

    Reguillon was in a good position there

  12. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Gray -> ESR (FT) a no brainer? Needs to be tonight before the ESR price rise.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do you have Gallagher or Cornet?

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

        We been sleeping on cornet but for some reason spurs next turns me off idk why

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

        Sadly not, but either would have to be for a hit.

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

          U willing to take the hit for them specifically? Think it out and if u think they can recover the points plus profit then why not

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sonny taking too long to score!

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

    Oh piss off Kane, what was that touch?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lack of

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

    Which makes more sense at the moment
    A Havertz to jota
    B Havertz Ronaldo to son jimi/wilson/vardy(-4)
    C Ronaldo Williams to jimi cancelo (-4)

    Honestly leading to c

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

      Will get son for havertz week after

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A - I’d keep Ronaldo for the good fixtures

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

        Ok maybe

        Havertz Williams to Moura/cornet cancelo -4 or still not necessary

  16. NJ MetroStars
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years

    whats the best site to use to price rise/drop predictions?

      1. NJ MetroStars

        • 2 Years

  17. Steve The Spud

    This is a rotten game so far

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

      ...as expected with that injury list

  18. MysticMac17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I have the exact money to do Sarr to Jota. I obviously would like to wait in an ideal world but if he goes up in price, I can’t get him. What is the status on Jota’s injury?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Got exact cash for Zaha+Tierney to Raph+Regullion on 2 FT. Shd I?

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

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who are your other 4 defenders?

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

        Livra, cancelo, TAA and James. But looking to play 244

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

      Why are you selling Zaha now? Why are you buying Raph now?

      I agree that Tierney is a priority sale, but do you have the top back 4?

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

        Tryin to get in raph for the good run comin. Zaha was my only way. Prefer to keep Foden and Mount

    4. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds like that should be the other way around.

    5. Fish up a tree

      Madness

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Winks and skipp have to be 2 of the worst cm in the league

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

      Bemba, please give me a goal

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

      They’re awful really.

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

        And Winks being linked with Newcastle

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

      Seen McFred? Whatever the combo is at Watford?

      But yeah, this is a few levels worse?

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

        Last question mark was an editing oversight, sorry

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

        Even McFred bossed the spurs midfield a few weeks ago 😆

  21. tyron
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed

    But please assist

    Ramsdale
    Trent James Rudiger
    Salah Gallagher Esr benrahma
    Dennis antonio Ronaldo

    Foster havertz livramento Williams

    Options

    A - havertz to Jota
    B - havertz Ronaldo to son jimi -4 (get cancelo week after)
    C - Ronaldo Williams to jimi cancelo -4 (get son week after)

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

      Really need midweek/injury info

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

        Other option to add to list havertz to Moura/cornet to facilitate Williams to cancelo...-4 of course but cancelo seems essential now

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

    Not sure selling Ronaldo to Kane is worth a hit …

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not looking that way.

      But over an hour to go.

    2. tyron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hmmmm is selling Ronaldo with the fixtures coming up even worth it?

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

        That’s what I’m thinking now. Was looking at Kane but it’s either downgrade right down to Wilson/Asm, Benteke, Jiminez et Al or hold

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

          I'm in the same boat so I understand

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

    How are these moves. 2ft

    Livramento, Benrahma and Antonioto
    Cancelo, Jota and fodder

    Change of formation

  24. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bet Tommy Taylor could do a better job

  25. 824545201
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    New manager, Kane still playing as a midfielder.

  26. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hope something from Kane to save me a little..

  27. Duke Silver ☑

    Kane poppping up in DM.

  28. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    All this Kane hype........for what?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Scored against San Marino

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

        The two Harrys silenced all their critics in that international break.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha! Correct

    2. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Early days, we should be patient I guess

  29. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I actually regret not doing a more boring transfer and taking out Azpi for Emerson Royal... Despite Vardy blanking, it doesn't look like Kane will do much better.

  30. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Benrahma -> Jota
    Dias -> 5m def

    -4

    I reckon jota will go up .2 over the next 2 weeks no?
