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.

    Why on earth do people own stach

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Same way we own Porro.

      At least Stach has gotten some attacking returns.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Only playing him because KDH banned, did well for me 2 weeks ago tbf, goal and assist

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Who’s the best 5m mid right now? Was planning on getting Stach. Looks very involved

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Can't own him on mars

  2. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Porro do something, get a goal at least

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      He is the most overhyped biggest waste of money in FPL. Does absolutely nothing.

      Can’t wait to get rid of him on my WC.

    Kudus is a poor pick in FPL. Doesn't get enough attacking returns, and when he does its miniscule points. Got 2 assists the other week ands somehow managed to only get 7 points, gets an assist today and a grabs a yellow.

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Doing better than Gyökeres.

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      5 assists

      And tbf should have more if players around him were more clinical

      Plus i still dont understand how he got zero bonus points against brighton weird as hell

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      He’ll get a 20 pointer soon, he gives his all & shoots on sight, Assist magnet currently

    4. Esh

      I rather like owning him!

    Problem with this Spurs side is a fair number of their players lack footballing IQ. All energy no brains

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Dum-dums

  5. CoracAld2831

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year

  11. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Arteta to start Gabriel ?
    If so then he’s off with Brazil,or leave him out, no international break with Brazil

  12. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Looks like Palhinha is looking for the red card that is reserved for Kudus.

  13. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Leeds are terrible actors

  14. Sandy Ravage

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      "Wirtz lite"

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Might be time to admit mistake and sell him.

      2. Three Pints of Schlager
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Just nicer hair

  15. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Apparently Stach might be on pens

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Very true

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Stach won’t get another return this season, hasn’t since I brought him in

      1. Tomerick
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Not true. He’ll get it when you bench or sell him as is the rule of FPL.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Never has been

  16. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Wtf, soft touch on vdv counted as foul

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years

      Ref not being consistent.

      Sounds like a strip club...

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Drinking and playing, not the best idea.

    3. Make FPL Casual Again

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Had a number 1 hit in the 90s for 3 weeks with the song dreams

        That was Gabrielle

  20. g40steve

    Kudus is a baller 3 Leeds on him 🙂

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Great player, average for FPL

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        We were saying about Semenyo last season. Shoots lots, can't convert.

        If he can find a way to get more assists and be more clinical he could be an amazing FPL option.

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Less than average

        1. WVA
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 5 days ago

    Vicario is rubbish.

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Poor mans Sanchez.

  22. chocolove
    • 15 Years

    Porro 5 defcon

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Will he reach 10?

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Hope so.
        Wish I can just cash in 1 point for that 5 defcon. Lol

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 5 days ago

          Cash out*

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Would you start with selling Simons or Mbeumo? Think I might start with Simons...

  24. putana
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    any serious coach takes xavi off after that. What a loser

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      balotelli vibes in that pre season match

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Well, I don’t know about calling him a loser; he may actually have a good heart, but yes, that was a bit unnecessary of him.

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    simons should be dropped for that rabona, ridiculous

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Xavi thinking he is Ronaldinho when he is more like Ronald McDonald.

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Xavi is on a chopping block.

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Long way to go before GW8 but early thoughts on Mbeumo @ Liverpool and Ndiaye @ City. Start Mbeumo, bench Ndiaye?

  28. ☈☾

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
