The 17:30 BST kick-off between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

There is more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in this fixture than usual, with a combination of widespread Wildcard deployment and a reduced fixture list leading to a small spike in popularity for Spurs players in particular.

Four of the 11 most-bought FPL assets of Gameweek 8 come from Antonio Conte’s squad but one of them, Son Heung-min, doesn’t start tonight.

But the other three, Harry Kane, Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski, make the hosts’ starting XI this evening.

Son is one of four players who drop out of the line-up from Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Sporting Lisbon.

Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal are also among the substitutes, while Ben Davies is injured and misses out.

Dejan Kulusevski, Davinson Sanchez, Ryan Sessegnon and Clement Lenglet all come into the starting XI, with Sessegnon’s inclusion presumably meaning that Perisic starts on the right flank – something that Conte hinted at in his pre-match presser.

As for the visitors, Jamie Vardy is benched for the second successive league match as Patson Daka is entrusted with the responsibility of leading the line.

Brendan Rodgers has made three changes from Gameweek 8, with new signing Wout Faes handed a debut and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Timothy Castagne recalled.

Boubakary Soumare, Luke Thomas and Kelechi Iheanacho are benched.

GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Romero, Royal, Tanganga, Bissouma, Skipp, Gil, Son.

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Faes, Evans, Castagne, Maddison, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall, Daka.

Subs: Iversen, Thomas, Amartey, Albrighton, Praet, Soumare, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

    This game is absurd. I captained Kane and I’m annoyed

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Much better than Haaland

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It truly is, it truly is

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Unlucky not to have more than he did.

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      4 points better - don't get too excited

    5. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      6M went Haaland. So anything over 6 is great.

  2. No Totti No Party
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Very lucky with son C at the last minute

    Buying Iversen back at 3.9 is at least surely a positive box ticked

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep - clean sheets all the way for us now.
      I think not.
      A bit of a rude awakening for Mr Faes .... welcome to the Premier League

  5. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Missed Haaland hattrick, Toney's and Son's for the first 8 GW (effectively 7) of the season, tell me the season has not been over! 😛

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't miss the Salahs and Sterlings next

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ahh those as well ... the season is really over then 🙁

    2. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve only caught Toney for his. As a result at 5M rank. Great to see so many hauls though. Hopefully can get a few more!

      Sooonnn! What is he doing there? 😛

      1. Guru Mediation
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Fully onboard that wagon

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ward to Iversen surely.
      Not impressed with Isak today, see how Toney plays.

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Unbelievable that Leicester let kasper go but then also don’t replace him with a good keeper ?!

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Aye, that’s a huge error.

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool selling Ward and Brewster for a combined £36m is great business!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      That should be looked into 😆

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Solanke and a few others come to mind. UK tax.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Effectively got Robbo for free. Sold some other non-entity for same price

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester sold Maguire £80m, please have a look at it as well

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Utd having more money than sense, isn't that deep

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          That money was used to buy Ward

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool rinsing teams for our deadwood has been pretty funny since Fenway came in

      1. Spoox777
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        We paid around £30m for Benteke & around £25m for Sakho.
        Benteke was brilliant in his first season & his goals kept us up but after that he forgot how to score...
        Sakho was brilliant on loan but when we signed him on a permanent deal he was always injured...

  9. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Son/Kane up top in a two striker formation is a thing of beauty.

  10. FPL_trail_runner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Still cannot believe that happened

    I was at 3million rank when he came on

    2million places up in 20min

    Easily the best FPl experience ever and ive played this game 15 years

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Awesome, fortune favours the brave, i did exact same as you (see last page replies)
      350k to 11k in 15mins

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Well done to you both. You’re right you have to make ballsy moves and calls sometimes to fly up the ranks. Fair play

    2. One for All
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one I was 1,356,987, raised to 276.588. Glad I went with Son as captain.

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Rised to

  11. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where is that person who bet on 6-2!?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Celebrating!

      He captained Kane & owns Son.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Did he bet tough?

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Not sore he did the bet no but he definitely did give that score prior to the game

  12. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So, Son is back. Time for Salah as well? Haaland needs some competition for the golden boot...

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Competition? Haaland has 8 more than Son / Salah after 7 games.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Salah aint playing Leicester for a while

  13. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    No way! Just seen the final score. Don’t think I’ve ever had a differential captain pay off like this before. I’d given up all hope after seeing him benched. FPL is a strange old beast..

  14. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I was planning on getting Son and giving him the armband until I made the correct call that he would get benched.

    This game is all luck isn’t it?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Thought he’d probably be benched after the O’Keefe tweet, but still bought him as thought he could still score well as a sub

      1. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I’m not buying that mate. No way you rely on your 12m player from the bench

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          HITS FROM THE BONG 3 Years
          1 day, 1 hour ago
          O'Keefe predicts no Son, but he did midweek too. Think I'm going to gamble, he can still come on and do damage

      2. The Abyss
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Who’s this O’ Keefe I keep hearing about?

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Spurs ITK who predicts the team on twitter

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      When it goes against us yes. Of course if he’d done nothing or if we’d got him, that would have been skill.

  15. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Son (C) has just transformed my ml's big time as I'm the only one that owns him

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Congrats!

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Funny that’s all it takes is one good haul from a differential to pull you back in. I e been trying to do that for the last few weeks going against Haaland cap and today is the first day it came up by capping Kane

    3. Jenas
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Same here.

    4. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Same for me!

      Season changing

      and got him for as part of -8 to have 11 this week

      stupid luck 🙂

    5. gribude
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      56-4 and 38 of that from Son here

    6. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Only one in my ml had son, an he thought it was a 1 pt cameo!

  16. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    It's gonna be a fun season, all premiums are starting to click, haaland kdb kane son
    We're gonna miss 1-2 hauls, but it'll be fun

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Salah? Is Ronaldo included in the list? 😛

  17. The White Pele
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    anyone knee jerking Son on WC?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What do you think? It's FPL 😛

      1. The White Pele
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        done 😀

  18. Jenas
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Juhu! Son(c) paid off

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Loving all the Son cappers appearing haha, 96% rank rise frpm that

  19. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Rodgers giving his farewell speech as we speak

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For real?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        For Leicester 😉

  20. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So, with Son rejuvenates (presumably) ... Rich and Kulu, what are they now as FPL assets? To ignore?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rich might lose out, Kulu still good with set pieces.

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Actually Son would take set pieces so Kulu loses out as well

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    *nervously checks Sons ownership

    Phew. Thought it was more than 10%

  22. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best Ramsdale replacement ?

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ward

  23. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A guy who was totally out of form, but then you take a punt as you have something what many call a gut feeling. Arguably one of my best transfers ever in 9 years of playing this game. Only shame is I switched C to Haaland after the benching news yesterday.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Still a great haul for you great call. You were right to cap haaland and have son as cover and it paid off.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate. Yeah, you're probably right. I'm not complaining much though. Hopefully my comeback starts here.

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Great call. One which I probably advised against on here, as I held Son for the first 7GWs and got rid on my GW8 WC.

  24. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hold that knee still!

    KDB ---> Son laughable

  25. g_jannyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Congratulations Son owners. Enjoy your points.

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Aye. Particularly after the benching and the dreaded 1 pointer they must have been expecting.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Regretting now i didnt triple captain him 🙂

        Nah its been a great 20min

  26. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    51 pts

    5 players to go. I’ll take that

    1. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice. Huge green arrow I hope.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wow, 41 with 3 to go only. Well played

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Huge score with 5 left to play!

      59 with Martinelli and Jesus left here, captained Haaland

  27. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So is hojberg a 4/5th mid option?

  28. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cant stop making huge errors this season, last min. Instead of salah -4 to son(c) went with kulu(c)

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Last minute. That’s when I mess things up too.

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Was set oj son as my h2h opponent have kulu but benching news sent me off

  29. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    42 with Saliba, Martinelli and Toney left to play.

    Red arrow. Hopefully, it remains a small one.

  30. Jordan.

      He was awful. Looked very leggy.
