Spurs v Leeds team news: Gelhardt starts as Raphinha and Rodrigo miss out

Sunday’s Premier League action continues in north London as Tottenham Hotspur host Leeds United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Antonio Conte makes two changes to his starting XI, with Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m) coming in for Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m), who miss out through injury and suspension respectively.

Harry Kane (£12.2m), fresh from scoring seven goals in two games for England, leads the line and will be flanked by Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) in a 3-4-3 formation.

For Leeds, Raphinha (£6.7m) is ill and Rodrigo (£6.3m) has a minor foot injury. As a result, Joe Gelhardt (£4.5m) makes his first Premier League start, while Mateusz Klich (£5.4m) will be deployed in the more advanced midfield role.

Patrick Bamford (£7.7m), Luke Ayling (£4.3m), Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m) and Robin Koch (£4.3m) all remain out.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Tanganga, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon, Moura, Son, Kane

    I have the exact funds for Rudiger to James before his price rises. Should I?

    B) Make the transfer

    Most annoying that about Raph missing out is he finally would have got double digits

    1. Mr. O'Connell

      This post is aimed at those not getting Rudiger off the bench

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      I got off bench what he would have got - 9

    3. Qaiss

      Yeah, if him, Bamford and Rodrigo were fit, the game would have been over in the first half.

  9. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years

    Conte will make Reguilon into his new Alonso. Not brilliant defensively, but given a remit to get forward looking for goals and assists.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He’s a good option, but his problem is that there are better options available for our squads right now

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What bench him for Sessingon?

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Well he was at fault for the goal so he better do something.

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Worth getting reg then after Burnley game for kind fixtures?

    5. Qaiss
      • 8 Years

      Spurs don't have the defenders Chelsea did to keep clean sheets

    6. Sun Jihai

      Not sure new Alonso is a title you want to have

      1. Mr. O'Connell

        Thanks. Thought so.

  13. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What a wonderful result for someone not owning any Spurs.

    79 all out for me. 150k > 110k.
    P good week.

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      81 for me
      379K to 261K, it's a long slog to Top 20K but jumps like that make it better

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Noice. GW8 I was 680k, now at 110k.

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Same, definitely feel lucky with Kane's missed chances and EO.

    4. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Similar. No Spurs. 88 all out. 172k > 88k....nice

    5. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nice scores all around.

  14. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Are the following moves worth a wc to set up for the rest of the year?

    IN: ESR, Chilwell, Jota, Ramsgate, Johnson, Davis,

    OUT: Brownhill, Marcal, Foden, Sanchez, Livramento, Toney

    Team which rotates well until Xmas would be:
    Ramsdale
    TAA Chilwell James Cancelo
    Salah Jota Raphinha, Gallagher
    Kane Antonio

    4.0 ESR Johnson Davis

    Can't visualise a better time to use it before the end of the year.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I don’t mind this idea.
      Get ahead of where you want to be and then can be more aggressive during the busy time.
      Got to use it soon anyway - why not get a few more weeks out of it.

      I wouldn’t be spending money on Kane myself. But like the general idea.

  15. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So who scores more in the next 5gws?

    A. Kane & Foden
    B. Vardy & Son

    1. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A - comfortably I think

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B would be my guess.

  16. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Went for Chicken Royal as a budget pick instead of Reggie. Great move eh!

    1. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For the week, no. For the season, maybe.

    2 FT 0ITB looking for advice on what to do with the 1 or 2 transfers.

    1. blauriecon
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ship Antonio - next 3 fixtures not attractive.

  18. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Very disappointing result as a new Son owner. But still happy I rolled the dice on him and still hopeful for returns over the coming weeks.
    FPL is about getting on the next big thing, not the guys who have scored well in the past few weeks and are going to drop off…

    1. Bob B
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You got him for the run of fixtures, not just this one. Agree with your last statement, hence why I have triple Spurs and no Chelsea defence !

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane owners what you doing? 2pts every GW. Play the fixtures or just ship?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Give him 3 more games… that’s what I’m doing with Son anyway

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Surely this was to be expected? Might aswell keep for the next 3 and move to CR7 after

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keep for next 3. Burnley Brentford and Norwich.

    4. Bob B
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play the fixtures, 7 goals in his last 3 games 😉

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        6 😉

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      its really simple. the entire season is mapped out with a premium striker train.

      have only got Kane because Lukaku was injured, and happy to give him until the norwich game to do something.
      Ronaldo will be in come GW16 unless the new manager is ruthless with him

    6. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Got me 2222 so very consistent so of course I will stick with it!

    7. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping- looked interested and involved- goals will come

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Keep sarr? Only 0.3 itb and Watford seem to be developing a weird habit of scoring a few goals

    Then again they won’t play United every week

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Already have Gallagher and Raph

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm keeping . Hopefully not injured too badly though.

    3. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Been wondering the same. Also considering an upgrade to Jota. Or might bring in ESR.

  21. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane or Jimenez in for Vardy. Feel like Kane had several close chances and will be good going forward...what do you guys think?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think If u have no other ways to spend the extra 5m go for it

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane should come good in the next couple of gws

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jiminez would have to go after 2 games

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve really enjoyed having Jimi since gw4.
      46 points in 9 weeks (5.1 per game)

      For reference Antonio has had 23 points through the same time.
      Kane only 28.

  22. blauriecon
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Drop 1 of 3 for Dennis
    A) Antonio
    B) Toney
    C) Vardy
    Drop 1 of 3 for Cancelo
    D) Duffy
    E) Christiansen
    F) Livramento
    Leaning towards AE
    (with Duffy/Livramento>Chilwell/Reguilon following weeks)

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just Christensen to Cancelo

      1. blauriecon
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ideal but funds limit with 2 FT

      2. blauriecon
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Also I don't see Antonio doing much in next 3 fixtures

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What about Antonio to benteke?

      1. blauriecon
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Have considered but tempted by Chilwell and Dennis provides funds for Duffy/Livramento>Chillwell. Tempted to keep Duffy over Livramento for fixtures

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ending on 85 points, Jimmy off the bench, zero hits this season and a rank of 25k with an eye to rolling next week. Happy days, I'm used to significantly worse starts than this.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good .

      Nice one!

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy to Kane for a hit or do it for free next gw?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both are useless.

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't sell Vardy home to Watford.

    3. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope, keep for Watford and reassess

  26. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Plan for GW14:
    A or B, mates?

    A) Ronaldo, ESR, Mitchell/Dier/Tomiyasu
    B) Antonio, Foden/Zaha, Cancelo

    Ramsdale
    Trent Chilwell James -
    Salah Raph Cornet -
    Kane -

  27. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What do folks think about Foden?

    Stats are good, fixtures are good.
    Concerned that he is now a key player, and therefore the CL might start to be a priority with rests for PL games

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pep roulette goes up a gear at Xmas as well

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I don’t own Foden but if what you said there is true, why would you wanna get rid? Why did you/others bring him in if, you thought he was not going to start most games over this period (which he still probably will).

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I dont want to get rid... but I have a couple of plans to get in Jota, and this is potentially one way of doing it

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Foden to Jota? Rotation risk with great fixtures, to a player who will be a rotation risk in 2/3 games when Firmino is back? Idk man. And who knows, maybe in 3/4 weeks, that might be a move you will wanna reverse.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very valid point - especially this week (PSG). I am thinking of shipping.

    4. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden>jota is very tempting, 6 points in 3 games aint cutting it

    5. schlupptheweek
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep him, he'll get a few more 1 pointers due to rotation but he's explosive, plays for City and their fixtures are good. Getting no returns in 3 happens regularly with mid-price assets so don't worry.

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like him better when he's false 9, not liking how wide he's played in the last couple of games.

      But I'm struggling to identify a better alternative to him right now, so happy to hold until a new toy shows up.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I think Foden, Mount, Jota are all false premiums. I'd like all 3 if I could, but there are plenty of more nailed value players around (Gallagher, Raph, Bowen). This is literally the only unresolved conundrum this season.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yep, I agree.

          Finding value isn't an issue this year, it's everywhere, but we are really missing the big hitters at the moment.

  28. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Planning to transfer in Gallagher but do we see Villa as a difficult fixture now? Or too early to say?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Much more than it was. Palace scoring for fun though.

  29. bso

    Why does Jota not show up as injured? Is it ok to bring him in?
