Kane and Son start as Llorente returns for Leeds

Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Burnley v Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur v Watford.

At Burnley, Sean Dyche makes just one change as Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) recovers from a toe injury to replace Jack Cork (£4.5m) in the Clarets engine room, while Ashley Barnes (£5.5m) partners Chris Wood (£6.9m) up front.

For Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, Diego Llorente (£4.5m) returns at centre-half with Junior Firpo (£4.9m) and Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) missing from the matchday squad.

As expected, Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) leads the line, with Raphinha (£6.5m), Rodrigo (£6.4m) and Jack Harrison (£5.9m) supporting him.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane (£12.3m) starts his first Premier League match of the season for Tottenham Hotspur following his mid-week European brace, with Lucas Moura (£6.5m) dropping out of the starting XI.

Moussa Sissoko (£4.5m) is straight into the Watford side to face his former club following his move from Spurs last week, along with Joshua King (£5.5m), Francisco Sierralta (£4.4m) and Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

    Thank you Son (C). Happy with those points.
    Hoping for a Bruno blank now

      Any double digit captain haul is good. Matched Salah and only a bit behind Antonio.

      All eyes to Bruno

    Hi guys

    In Fpl Draft, who would you take
    1) Watkins
    2) A. Armstrong ?
    Thanks

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Watkins easily

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Reckon? Where did he play when he came on yesterday?

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Played wide. But he's the better player and in the better team imo.

          Reckon he'll get more points over the season.

          1. FCRS BGD
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks

  3. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Preferred option here guys?

    A) Williams (4m) & Maddison
    B) Webster/Henry & Bowen
    C) Tierney/Christensen & Harrison/Traore

    Its for an 8 man draft league, so limited options.

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tierney and Traore I reckon

  4. Salah(c)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Harrison third blank this is not it my g, i need points

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's a better option than Benrahma I told myself. I want to sell him bad but can't see the point with their good fixtures and the fact he's already dropped in value

  5. Just Fofana
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Lads, who is the best defender 4.6 or less, thanks.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tanganga

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tanganga, Coady, Janson & a couple of 4.1's to choose from too

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dier

  6. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Kane's paunch is bigger than mine

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It’s some belly in fairness 😆

      New shirt designers obviously didn’t consult with Harry beforehand

  7. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba dropped deep again?

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yup

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ah balls….time to ship….

        1. Thanos
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Same... Thinking WC time

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      As expected

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

    Ayling 2
    Raphina 2

    Sums up my FPL luck

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Need Bamf

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah may do Ings to Bamf but you sure you want me to get him?

  9. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Went Raph over Greenwood. Pain

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Same, obviously everyone else in my ML went Greenwood, I suck

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    is 62 with just Shaw left good?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Get out.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not really I’m afraid

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        what r u guys on? 62 cant be that good, people have Bruno caps and stuff

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          57 Kane (c) with Shaw to go

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

      Nope

    4. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's my score too but with Bruno left. Of course it is a very good score and well above the average

    5. Zalk
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I guess it's not better than 60 with Pogba, Bruno and Shaw left.

    6. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible! I've got 63 😉

    7. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      OK but nor orgasmic.

  11. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I know he blanked bit did Raph look threatening today?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He always looks threatening but not much to show for it

    2. Licky
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Eh, Leeds didn't really make a good go of it until the end, looked much better when they started pushing though.

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      As always

  12. Licky
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Maybe next time, Raphinha. *sigh*

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I have Harrison...

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I have both..

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      V Liverpool perhaps not but good fixtures thereafter

  13. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Three 1-0 wins for Spurs then

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Like wolves season 1 under nuno

  14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    BamBam is an animal - just can’t stop returning

  15. Rash
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks for nothing Kane

  16. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Happy with Stones to Regulion for free!

  17. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I know understand why a few Leeds fans were so worried going into the season...

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      now* lol

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Look at those fixtures from GW5

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I know, the fixtures are great. Just looking at the bench, it seems like give or take a player or two, and the odd formation change, this starting xi will be the one we see for most of the season. And 3 weeks in it hasn't inspired much confidence

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Raphinha & Bamford are going to absolutely feast this season - only a matter of time, they were at it all day today

  18. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs players playing with their own tactics. I remember even with the interim manager after Mourinho they were just wasting time towards the end by going to the corner flag and the opposition holding the ball in the last 10 mins.

    Can't really see them scoring more than 2 goals on average this season

  19. Jafooli

  23. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years

    Aww, a shame Lloris couldn't get that 3rd save. But I'll take the double clean sheet and captain success. Back to winning ways.
