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

    van Dijk 42 points in last 7 GW's, game yet to finish, good times to own him.

      So I thought I was splurging by getting Cedric instead of Ake/Nyom, but instead I was being cheap by not spending for VVD. That 4.9/5.0 price point is the worst.

        Thank God I didn't do the same, contrasting stories there.

    Not to gloat but not only is Van Dijk in my team but I also put £5 on him at 20/1 to be first goal scorer 🙂

    £100... thank you very much!

    Should I take out Lovren or Siggy?

    If so who should I replace either with?

  4. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I have to say, although early days, Kane looks as out of the attacks as Origi did yesterday. Hoping he proves me wrong.

  5. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    That was such a soft goal to give away albeit VVD used the Spurs player like a ladder

    Some people need to be humble in victory or defeat

      That ass has no right to say that. He gloated the most before and after that Aldo knockout. Was acting like a bi t ch the whole time.

          We all know who cried when their ass got kicked by Diaz, and then ran away from Diaz the whole second game like a scared cat.

    Any thoughts on what I should do with this team? 1FT and 1.6 ITB.

    Grant - Foster
    Amat - Azp - Cedric - Jones - Holebas
    Capoue - Sanchez - Firmino - Zaha - Siggy
    Rondon - Ibra - Costa

  14. gonzalocampos

    I hope Erikssen and Kane start like Ibra vs Sunderland, looked really bad at the beginning and then came a goal and 2 assists.

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Kane playing sweeper. That's exactly what I paid 11m for.

  27. Optic1

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lost...

    Without a keeper.
    Pick one:

    A) DDG

    B) Cech

    Fancy A, but B's fixtures look too good to miss.

    Cheers lads

    I'm I a fool for missing out on VVD at 5.4 and opting for the cheaper option in cedric
