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.

    How come Matic is playing against his parent club?

      Facepalm

    I feel like not keeping Ings for FH gw38.
    Not confident of a haul against SHU & he still is 2 goals away from matching Vardy for the golden boot.

    1. Rainer

      Looks like Ings vs Antonio at that price range.

      I agree... Sheff Utd strong defensively.

    3. Amey

      Had your thoughts changed if he scored the pen ?

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes because he'd be 1 goal closer to the target & more confident.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Okay.
          I think Ings is a very good pick. Actually I'm happy he missed pen as a non owner. Will get him on FH for sure

    I did Kane + Son to Sterling + Ings for a -4 after GW35. Since then, Kane has scored brace in both games, my captain sterling last week got benched and Ings missed a penalty this GW. Now i am fully expecting Sterling to get benched again.

      similar for me, had son and kane for a few weeks for their blanks, soon as i sold them they've hauled, typical!

        We reacted to their awful performances. Unfortunately so did they.

        Me too. I had Jesus too. All 3 have not stopped scoring since I dropped them.
        I have learnt that it is possible to be too ahead of the curve.

    Those 2 Kane goals, kind of full stomach...
    Made my cash secured in my ML

      Same here. Not secured but in a very good position!

    Ole “my players are not divers”

    2 Bruno dives and 1 Rashford dive in one half already.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fred dived too.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Can't blame them, surely even they noticed that refs are likely to give pens to United even if the foul is the other way (Bruno vs Villa).

    Bruno (c) isn’t going to make it, is he?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      he will

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        ...make the gw38 starting XI

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

      Exactly why I went Vardy captain, didn't pay off

      What's all this dive talk, what dives are you seeing? I'm seeing a dirty Chelsea

        I swear he's been asleep the first half. Not been making runs in behind. Does not look sharp.

      Maguire down. Man U might defend properly now.

    • Coys96

      What a start to the bench boost!

      14 points on bench from 2 and Pope in starting XI! 12 to go
