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

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

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

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

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

      Yep too much whinging as usual

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

        Especially only half way through a match Zzzz

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

    I benched Porto thinking Spurs would concede!

  5. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

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

      • 1 Year

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

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

        Mbeumo brace coming today.

            • 15 Years
            1 year, 5 days ago

              • 13 Years
              1 year, 5 days ago

    4. Ball Ake

      Very attacking Arsenal team

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Bayindir benched at last

      1. The Big Fella
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 days ago

        Shame - I played Isidor this week

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

      Gabriel starts as expected

    7. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Lammens actually starts

      Gotta try everything

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

    Romero thick head vs Okafor zipper head

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

      Romero would destroy him 😉

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

        Lol

  12. g40steve

    Handbags

  13. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    No Cunha good for Bruno right?

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

      Nothing change formation wise

  14. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

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

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

      😉 😆

    3. Von Lipwig
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      39 points this season so far

  15. Atimis
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

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

    1. Atimis
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Can hope Dorgu stays on bench whole game

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

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

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

        Porro with assist to

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    how come porro got an assist for that?

    the rule change only applied to passes inside the box

  18. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Xavi would have 2 assist every game with Kane

  19. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Another Mariana Trench lineup for Bruno

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years

      Lol

  20. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 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
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Filthy

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

    Why has Stach been subbed so early? Injured?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Poor game

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

        Looked quite good from what I saw…

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

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

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

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

  22. Drizzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Dare I ask, how is Xavi playing?

    1. a wat di rass
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

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

  23. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

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

    Probably should've put some money on this.

  24. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years

    Rich and Sarr coming on

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

      Grab a G Richa 😉

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

    Does Solanke start for Spurs once he is back fit?

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

      Start & fit with Dom ??

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      He will never be fully fit

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

      Yeah, obviously doesn’t rate Richarlison, rightly so

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

    No assist for that Kudus goal on other sites

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

    Stach has to go

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      I usually bench him. Better than a 4.5m

  28. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 days ago

    Why did I bench Kudos and play Richarlison

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

      How?

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 days ago

      Really lol

  29. ‘Tis the Season
    • 8 Years

  30. Sgt. Schultz
