Gameweek 7 continues with a match between a side unbeaten at home against a club yet to taste defeat on the road.

Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur kicks off at 12.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

The team news is straightforward for the hosts, who are unchanged yet again.

Karl Darlow gets his fourth straight start between the posts, with Lucas Perri not ready to return – although the £4.0m goalkeeper’s positional rival is likely to be available after the October international break.

It’s not that simple for the Lilywhites as Thomas Frank continues to tinker with his squad.

Cristian Romero comes back into the starting XI after missing the midweek clash with Bodo/Glimt as a precaution.

Destiny Udogie, João Palhinha, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons were all rotated to the bench for that game and return to the starting XI today.

But Richarlison is a high-profile casualty of Frank’s minute management and drops out of the team.

Mathys Tel replaces him up top.

Djed Spence, Kevin Danso, Brennan Johnson, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr also make way from the side that was sent out in the Champions League.

Pedro Porro, benched in Gameweek 6, starts at right-back.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson, Longstaff, Ampadu, Stach, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor.

Subs: Meslier, Justin, Bijol, Bornauw, Gruev, Tanaka, Harrison, Nmecha, Piroe.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Palhinha, Bentancur, Kudus, Xavi, Odobert, Tel.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Richarlison, Gray, Bergvall, Johnson, Spence, Sarr, Davies.

    Does Gnonto start?

      Skonto says no Gnonto

        Luckily I was able to sell Gnonto pronto after GW1!

          While looking up other things that rhyme with Gnonto and pronto and Skonto, I've discovered that Tonto's term of endearment for the Lone Ranger, "kemosabe", means "trusty Scout".

          Insert bad FPL advice gag here!

    Will Richarlison double drop over IB?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah, 3.9 within a couple of weeks

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Maybe, I would have thought most of the ownership was folks taking a short term punt before WC8. Transfers on WC doesn't affect price changes

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Nobody owns Richarlison, so nobody sells Richarlison, so Richarlison stays the original Richarlison price.

      If you wonder what will happen to Richarlison.

      Depends on Chelsea vs Liverpool today

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Want new keeper, fwd & if Salah bombs he’s gone.

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          9 months, 1 day ago

          Raya or Pope, got no NewC currently

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      I wouldn't wildcard, that looks good for GW8. Arsenal, City, Liverpool and to lesser extent Spurs all got very favorable fixtures so there will be some big hauls in there.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Thx

  5. Digital-Real

    Appears quite a few own Richarlison here?

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      One of my ML rivals has captained him. Excellent

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Yeah, I bought him on my GW4 WC. Also kept Watkins and sold Gyökeres.
      Since then:
      Watkins 12 pts
      Richarlison 11 pts
      Pedro 11 pts
      Gyökeres 10 pts

      If you read the sheep comments on here you'd think I'm down 20+ pts.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Rich also on 12 pts.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Mainly due to his price-point and a haul in GW1 has influenced many.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        And people bought him for that Wolves game, I suspect.

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 5 Years
          9 months, 1 day ago

          I bought him in for the Wolves game and nice looking run after
          1st game: 2 points.
          I transferred him straight back out the same day.
          This is why I am rank 10m

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 months, 1 day ago

            You might do well in reverse FPL

            Grealish is the transfer for Gw8

    4. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Could be worse, could have Kolo Muani from WC GW4 😆

  6. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    I can’t decide if the Chelsea Liverpool game will be a 0-0 or a 4-4.

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      2-2

    2. Ausman
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      2-2

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      3-1 Pool, Ekitike brace, Gakpo goal and two assists. Oh, and Ekitike assist for Gakpo goal.

    4. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Just flip a coin and get it over with.

    5. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      5-4 Chelsea, all goals scored by JP and Gakpo

  7. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Score Leeds v Spurs today?

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      1-1

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Kudus & Stach hopefully

      2. Ausman
        • 2 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        2-0

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      I've got no idea

      I think that Leeds will edge it by the one goal

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Either 0-0 or 0-1 Spurs win

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      0-0

    4. Ball Ake
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 1 day ago

      0-0

  8. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Will there be a Tottenham clean sheet in this game?

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      No

    2. Ausman
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      No

    3. Berkshire Hafaway-Line

      Amber Heard

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Definitely not and VDV won’t score either!!

  9. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Xavi 10, time to shine

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      First on my bench

  10. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Dogs walked, settle on the sofa looking forward to the early kick off. VdV and Udogie benched and started Richarlison. Opposite happens.

    Great.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Typical FPL

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Your dogs are lucky,
      In couple of hours you’ll need to walk off the fpl 🙂

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        The best therapy for FPL 🙂

        1. Ball Ake
          • 1 Year
          9 months, 1 day ago

          That and beer, walk them to the pub

  11. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    First Kluivert and now Richarlison.

    Only 2 games in and Neale started the gameweek with a shocker

    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news

    Always tough rushing the predicted line ups with a Friday deadline. Arsenal will be the big one thou.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      On the flip side, he’s got 10/11 players right, so many will be grateful.

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        I don't really care but he got half the Spurs team wrong fwiw

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Richarlison is a popular pick in FPL so that's unfortunate.

    2. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Where for art…

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Bro really want certain info from "educated guess" news.

  12. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Kudus on pens with Richarlison off the pitch?

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Porro?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Keep dreaming 🙂

        1. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 1 day ago

          Simons might be the main rival. Kudus hasn't taken one at club level in over 3 years

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Bentancur

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Tel owner in heaven. Richarlison owners in the trash

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      It’s very stinky in here. Keep telling the family to use the food bin!

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Considering anyone actually owning Tel has likely passed away and been unable to transfer him out until now, most likely.

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Actually in response to the bits above, its probably Tel on penalties he scored one last season for Spurs

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    For anyone with a decent rank, Haaland points will be almost irrelevant today. If you are down in the dumps his points will gain you rank but you won't gain ground on top 1m.

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Got to that stage of the season already. Perma cap every week for most. Captaincy becomes irrelevant

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Reijnders and Haaland ownership combination is less than 50% in the top ranks. As long as Reijnders is assisting Haaland there is a good chance to gain that way.

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      I only care about my cash league, and someone capped Semenyo so could do with him at least cancelling some of that gain out

  15. threeputt
    • 16 Years

    Richarlison, you're so gone outta my team

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      That's why my main cash league rival has Semenyo captain and owns Haaland...

    Not going Richarlison on WC6 looking like a huge bullet dodged.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      Incredibly enormously huge

  18. Royal5

    Leeds look very attacking

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Can't wait for him to score an own goal and get sent off when I actually play him next GW!

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Spurs 79% defence EO, pretty high! VdV the most owned defender in the game. Such a change from Ange Spurs lol

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      That bad energy has been transferred directly to Forest back line 😆

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie all underpriced in the game this season IMO.

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

    Any goss on Gabriel ?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What can you do. Deadline passed

  22. Count of Monte Hristo

    Don’t rate Vicario at all.

  23. 1NAM

    • 14 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Starting to think I should sell Kudus.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      I bought him last week, keeping for now and see what happens.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Did you see that through pass he just played there 😎

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 months, 1 day ago

          Shame he's the only good attacking player in this side.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      think he will look better today with simons beside him in a 10

      1. 1NAM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Tel and Odi won't help

      It's been 15 minutes.

  24. JBG

    VDV 3rd on my bench, ready for goal and CS from him

    1. Cold Palms

      Please

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      That's exactly what happened the only time I benched him this season away to West Ham

  25. Wenger_In
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Joe Rogan might be one of the only players I just never sell this season, really good rotation option for the money.

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      do think theres something abit off with defcon when defenders get rewarded for giving the ball straight back to the opposition, but nothing for regaining possession

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        *outside of a successful tackle

    • Joke Insurance™
