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.

    Should Xavi avoid yellow card he will double his last weeks score.

    This intended target thing is utter nonsense and I say that as a Porro owner.

    Pleasing to see those slating Porro & Kudos 10mins ago, only to score & assist 5 mins later 😀

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Let’s be honest, lucky deflected shot and crazy assist to be added

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Both players been fantastic in the game though, and game is predictability… form plus calculated luck

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years

      Yep too much whinging as usual

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Especially only half way through a match Zzzz

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Yep it’s come a point now here if a player isnt returning every week without fail , they automatically become “terrible”

          1. Evasivo
            • 15 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            True, yes Porro probably lower points than expected, but it’s still the not GW7! and a def of free kicks, def con and BPs

  4. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    I benched Porto thinking Spurs would concede!

  5. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Rodon and Stach have never returned when I’ve started them but return every time I bench them

    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

        5 months, 18 days ago

        Mount over Cunha is great for Mbeumo. No more random shots from 40 yards out.

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

                • 15 Years
                5 months, 18 days ago

                Ballsy move, triple up on them. Gl

                1. Count of Monte Hristo
                  • 12 Years
                  5 months, 18 days ago

                  Cheers mate, bold indeed. Will see how it pans out.

        4. Ball Ake
          • 1 Year

          Very attacking Arsenal team

          Bayindir benched at last

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            Shame - I played Isidor this week

        6. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Gabriel starts as expected

        7. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Lammens actually starts

          Gotta try everything

      • chocolove
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Romero thick head vs Okafor zipper head

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Romero would destroy him 😉

          1. chocolove
            • 15 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            Lol

      • g40steve

        Handbags

      • OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        No Cunha good for Bruno right?

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Nothing change formation wise

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        I agree with some posters in here, Kudus is not worth it. Non-owners stay away.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          If there were 20 midfield spots in my squad I’m still not sure he would make it

        2. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          😉 😆

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          39 points this season so far

      • Atimis
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Last minute benched Porro for Munoz after looking at underlying data, hope Munoz delivers something as well

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Can hope Dorgu stays on bench whole game

      • Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Did porro to Romero on w/c last week, still no cs in last two, wolves, Leeds, y/c today,
        Time to get rid already?

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          That's what I will be doing. Just a question of when.

          1. Gizzachance
            • 11 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            Porro with assist to

      • Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        how come porro got an assist for that?

        the rule change only applied to passes inside the box

      • Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Xavi would have 2 assist every game with Kane

      • Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Another Mariana Trench lineup for Bruno

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Lol

      • Bucket_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Yet another reminder that drunken bus journey home transfers are never the answer.. like taking out Kudus & Rich for Sarr & Isak. !!!

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Filthy

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Why has Stach been subbed so early? Injured?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Poor game

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            Looked quite good from what I saw…

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Been shocking when I’ve started him, this takes the biscuit

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 18 days ago

            They shouldn’t have taken him off, reckon they will lose now

      • Drizzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Dare I ask, how is Xavi playing?

        1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          quite well 2nd half, he'll be running the show soon

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/27359031

        Probably should've put some money on this.

      • The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Rich and Sarr coming on

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Grab a G Richa 😉

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Does Solanke start for Spurs once he is back fit?

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Start & fit with Dom ??

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          He will never be fully fit

        3. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Yeah, obviously doesn’t rate Richarlison, rightly so

      • WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        No assist for that Kudus goal on other sites

      • WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Stach has to go

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          I usually bench him. Better than a 4.5m

      • Riverside Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Why did I bench Kudos and play Richarlison

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          How?

        2. ‘Tis the Season
          • 7 Years

          Really lol

      • ‘Tis the Season
