Aurier starts again as Leicester and Spurs name unchanged teams

Leicester City continue their push for a UEFA Champions League qualification place this afternoon.

The Foxes head south face to Spurs in their latest pursuit of three points, with kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 16:00 BST.

The team news is very straightforward as both managers have named unchanged starting XIs following wins in Gameweek 36+.

That means another start for Serge Aurier (£5.1m), who has travelled back from France after spending time with his family in the wake of his brother’s death.

It also means a second successive run-out for Luke Thomas (£4.0m) for the visitors, with the budget Fantasy Premier League defender again featuring at left wing-back.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are without Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), James Maddison (£7.3m), Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) through injury, with Caglar Soyuncu (£4.9m) suspended.

Dele Alli (£8.3m) is still unavailable for Spurs but Juan Foyth (£4.8m) returns from a lengthy lay-off and is among the substitutes.

Only one Leicester player has an effective ownership of more than 1% in the top 10k: that, unsurprisingly, is Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), who sits in just over one in five of these squads.

Aurier has been benched by more than half of his owners within the top 10k, meanwhile.

Mourinho’s starting XI may have been unchanged in the last three games but the formation continues to evolve, with Son Heung-min (£9.7m) here playing out wide on the left of a 4-2-3-1 rather than up top alongside Harry Kane (£10.9m).


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Winks; Lo Celso, Lucas, Son; Kane.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Bennett, Morgan, Evans; Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas; Perez, Vardy, Barnes.

    Is there some sort of rivalry between soton and Bournemouth? The soton players seemed really fired up for that.

        Oh wait, I just realised I have Aurier too! Although he is 2nd on bench so shouldn't be needed...hopefully!

    I only just checked the Southampton game

    Feared the worst after seeing Ings already bagged in the first half

    What a lovely surprise

      He was my captain. I’m thrilled.

      Why are all the non owners gloating. Some of us are still licking our wounds over here!

    NON-INGS OWNERS OF THE WORLD UNITE

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Wood owners rejoicing in an intelligent purchase

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Almost as jammy as owning Wood

    Let's go Vardy. We need a party.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      I own Vardy. He will therefore flop.

    No Jammy Pieters points boo! Lol

      Pieters should have played in front of Aurier anyway.

        Like me

  9. JONALDINHO

    Feel so lucky not owning ings. Scored that pen and he would have 9 more pts. The top 1k dream is still alive baby

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ings was my captain...

      1. E25

        Same :'( unlucky mate

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This game is all luck, that game proved it

      1. POLSKA GOLA
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes it is

      2. Lucy2019
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        How did that specific game prove it?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Did you watch it!?

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not all luck. But for players who remain active through all 38 GWs, I reckon it is about 30% luck and tilting more and more towards luck.

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Luck evens out through a season though.

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Not at all, I can vouch for that this season!

        2. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          It's far far more than 30% luck, I'd say at least 80

    3. CBonci
      • 8 Years

      He was my TC this week. So many emotions when he stepped for and then missed that pen. Huuuuge point swing

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        1 missed pen cost you 27 pts. Crazy

        Nope, was a great dexision, Bournemouth only had 0.67xg

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Did you see the game? The clean sheet was a miracle and I'm a saints fan!

    Danny Ings punished me week after week earlier in the season when I stubbornly kept ignoring him.
    Only fitting that he ends any chance of winning my ML with that Penalty miss having capped him :'(
    Oh Danny boy.

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had him for his consistent hauls and sold off for his failings. That’s the difference 😎

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        against a -2, 9 point swing ?

      2. E25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Teach us

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      that was a 4 point and 3 bap miss

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        -2 for pen on top

      2. E25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        18 point swing for me. I was15 behind in ML :'(

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          sickening

    3. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly the same boat. Sickening.

    Dang, didn’t think Aurier would play so benched him and brought Pieters in. Shouldn’t live to regret that but never know...

    Let’s go Vardy! Hatty required 🙂

    1. Hybrid.power

      You know Pieters got 12 points right?

  17. Jafooli

    Vardy looking super lively, owners can start counting their juicy points already....

    Just had a look at this fplreview website with regards to ML rival I'm chasing. I own Ings, he doesn't.

    My luck rating is 27.37 and his is 93.06 haha.

      • 14 Years

    2. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years

    Would be bitterly disappointed as an Ings owner if i didnt have Mccarthy’s lovely 8 pointer.
