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.

      Rival has double Leicester. Evans cleanie gone is good news. Just need a Vardy blank now.

      Lo Celso is utter shite. How much did he cost?

    • LIARS POKER

      Wood over Ings one week punt success (just about)

        You were VERY lucky there

    • Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

      McCarthy benched and Justin starting

      Sighs*

      1. Arctic monkeys

        Which goalie did you start ?

    • Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      And they say never take hits for defenders.

      Justin to Bellerin was really only a 2pt hit if you think about it.

      As an Ings and Son owner I'm not best pleased.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As an Ings captainer and Son owner I’m fuming.

        Son assist and still lots of time to score, he will!

      I’ve had Kane since gw 33+, looked bad every game. Got him out on FH last week, scores a brace. Now he’s back..

        Bouncebackability. Bad performances, so manager changes tactics. Sometimes players perform from that tactical change.

      WOW SON

    • TheSteel

      What a time to be an Ings and Son owner.

    • Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Kasper save from Son.

    • Gobigorgohome
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son looks so dangerous

    • Rainer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son high and central.

      Making inside runs as opposed to staying wide a few GWs back.

      Sooooo dangerous!

      So quick question for anyone that wants to answer...

      What do we think England’s starting XI will look like with all the talent they have? Who starts up top from Rash, Raheem, Sancho, and Kane?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thats not a quick question

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It was for me to type it! Lol

    • Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son almost in round the back
      Close.

    • Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son close twice

    • TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Harry Kane playing in the Pirlo role

    • Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son is literally every Tottenham attack.

        It’s horrible not owning him.

          4 years, 3 months ago

          It is, but with that bloody manager you can never tell where he's going to be playing. Last few games when I had him he was sent out to the Siberian wing plains.

      Bournmouth lose 2-0. Ramsdale 3bps. LOL.

      Yes I know he saved a penalty.

        Yep, those who watched the game would agree
