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.

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

    Brought in Son instead of Kane to avoid the hit. This could turn out to be one of those GWs.

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

      Didn't give much consideration to Kulu either. Probably should have.

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

      I didn’t love it at 12.30 today but it’s growing on my again after that goal!

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

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

          Well you enjoy that beer Daniel and I hope you’ve lots more in case Harry scores again

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            The fridge is stacked

  23. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who was it that said 'every Leicester game starts at 1-1 ' ?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Saint and Greavsie?

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Are we sure Maddison is fully fit? I am not sold on his level of engagement as of now

    I might be wrong and it could be only tactical but he isn’t chasing in defense and not sprinting in the beginning

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

      Only played 15 minutes

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You are right I agree with that it is just initial signs

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

          By the way, I brought him in this week!
          Just thinking it’s like a free hit for him befire better fixtures
          If poor can always get rid

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      he was injured in the warm up by a contact on his foot.

      the American channel showed it about 5.13.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Will get hooked soon

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Wow, it was something suspicious to me seeing how he runs

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Perisic shot blocked

    Should have been a penalty imo

      Owner spotted

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        😉

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

        As an owner, can confirm. It was a pen 😛

  26. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Justin on bench. Neco will be forever 3rd on bench from now on.

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

    Think I'll be keeping Kane all season. 6 goals now so maybe he can get 20+ goals.

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's on a great run of form. Could see him being a keeper.

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

        A few price rises would be nice too

  28. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If I was Rodgers I would put one more man on the midfield and play without GK

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

    This game is screaming for Son to come on.

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

      For Kulu?

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

        For anyone, really 😉

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

      Rich and Kulu have been doing well

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He’ll come on in the second half for Richarlison most probably since Kulu is having a great game

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hojberg why?

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

      Should have passed on to Kulu
