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.

    Sanchez, ward
    TAA, Saliba, Trippier, Cancelo, James
    KDB, Martinelli, Gordon, Aaronson, DaSilva
    Haaland, Isak, jesus

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years

      No Madison?

      1. -GK22-
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry this is my current team, should I wildcard it?

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

          Ah, well doesn't look like a very bad team.

        2. MOTHRA
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Oh. You can fix over the coming weeks. I’d save wc

    2. MOTHRA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ward is not a goal keeper.

    3. MOTHRA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You’ll have issues in a few weeks with the city arsenal blank.
      I also wouldn’t have Sanchez. Who knows what will happen to Brighton.
      TAA is overpriced right now and fixtures aren’t great.
      You need Maddison.

  2. Khark
    • 10 Years

    This might sound crazy but with Leicester's fixture's and even though they're awful. James Justin is really starting to appeal to me at 4.3

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Has played well today

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

      Yeah, that's crazy

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

      Scouting this game. And, I like Barnes.

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

      If the GK is Ward then it's hard to justify

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      To double up with Ward? 🙂

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin doesn't appeal as wouldn't be looking to double up with Ward

  3. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which option is better?

    A) Kane, Gordon , TAA, Saliba
    B) Toney, Sterling, James, Cancelo
