Gameweek 18 comes to its conclusion this Wednesday evening as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Mary’s.

Claude Puel’s men seek a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own supporters, with ever-present Virgil van Dijk (13% ownership) the most popular Saints player by some distance in Fantasy Premier League.

After netting twice in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth, Jay Rodriguez retains his role up front and is afforded another chance to play his way into our plans ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Back-to-back home blanks against Hull and Burnley persuaded many to part company with Harry Kane last time out – the Spurs frontman was second only to Diego Costa for transfers out in Gameweek 18. Nonetheless, a big performance could have a big effect in the FPL standings – Kane is the sixth most captained player for this round of fixtures.

His Tottenham team-mate Christian Eriksen also earned significant sales after failing to deliver points against the Clarets, yet both have the underlying numbers to punish those who chose to look elsewhere.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I thought they generally didn't give red cards alongside penalties any more?

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Although, how much minus is a missed penalty again. Is it -2, not more, please... goals incoming anyway.

  9. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Buyers if you got Ibra in

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

  10. Lav

    Kane to Ibra(c) for -4 was great this week 🙂

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yup 🙂

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa -> Ibra (c) for free, and Kane -> Costa tonight better, no?

  11. Sif
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Even If he'd scored that not essential as you can't trust him with the armband after Hull & Burnley.

  12. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mike Dean clearly has got bored and realised the camera should be on him

    1. afcblegend
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Let's not forget Mike Dean is a massive Spurs fan, there was that video of him celebrating as he awarded the goal

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Very true.

        Him and Martin Atkinson are easily the worst in the league

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty hard to argue that it wasn't a penalty. Not sure about the red for Redmond though.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A pen maybe but never a straight red. Mike Dean continues to be an absolute embarrassment

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          horrendous decision!

  13. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mike Dean should never be allowed to referee another game.

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kane to Ibra still a good transfer for this GW. Still another 30 mins to go though for Kane to change that.....

  15. Hect.OR 98th

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Third pen miss this season for my players. Kun, Benteke and now Kane. At least 24 points swing.

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have 6 or 7 this season
      And not even owning Kane this gw

  16. Cok3y5murf

    I captained Redmond in sky because he's the only player I have left and I own Kane in FPL 😆

  23. Okladomah
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Such a rollercoaster owning Kane. I love it.

  24. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    That pen miss cost about 9pts FFS

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How 9?

      1. Guba
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        4 points for the goal, 2 points for the penalty miss and 3 points for bonus.

  25. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So having just scored from a good corner into the box they go nack to playing the next one short again. What the hell's the matter with them sometimes
