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.

    Well, the Xavi experiment hasn't paid off. 8.5 for a replacement, any suggestions? Just swap to Kudus?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Kudus from the start flying

      1. g40steve

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Two weeks to think on it. Kudus, Sarr, Enzo, Gordon. I’m sure you have Semenyo.

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

      Kudus good fixtures ending soon. You have to get ahead of the game - Minteh, Sarr, Gordon

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 4 days ago

        Take points before moving onto next target.

  5. el polako
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 4 days ago

    Yay!
    Xavi Simmons - 2 points.
    That’s twice better than last two game weeks.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Can't have players who has the last letters of the alphabet as a starting letter... Wirtz, Xavi or Yokeres.

    6 months, 4 days ago

    Team is going up. Kudus is flying. But doing Watkins to Richarlison last week wasnt a good shout

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      I did Watkins to Isak, I fu&£ing hate Watkins.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 4 days ago

        Watkins is on the same number of points as Mateta

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      Watkins & Palmer > Haaland week 2 was season defining

  12. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 4 days ago

    Reijnders
    1G 1A 1YC = 0 bonus points

    Kudus
    1G 1A 1YC = 3 bonus points

    Game is dead

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 4 days ago

      You forgot to list the other players that played in those games...

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 4 days ago

        Well, the fix is either:

        1) BPS based on best 3 players in the gameweek, in all matches

        2) Just give bonus to actual MoTM

        It is unfair to reward players more because others in the same match have been poor, for basically the same level of returns and performance, what the original post is eluding to.

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years

      Clueless
