The Boxing Day action begins with a potential bang, as Spurs take on Southampton at Wembley Stadium, providing Harry Kane with the opportunity to break the hearts of Fantasy managers once again.

Having fired an unscripted hat-trick at Turf Moor in Gameweek 19, Kane can either add to his 15-goal tally today or, perhaps frustrate at Spurs’ temporary home venue once again.

As always, he will be going all out to find the net. He needs just one more goal to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League record for the most in a calendar year and Spurs will surely be geared up to give their striker that opportunity.

Kane returns as the Gameweek’s top captain pick and has been acquired by over 127,000 ahead of kick-off. Those managers will be anticipating an instant dividend from a 12.9 asset who will be benched or sold for his blank in Gameweek 21.

Southampton arrive at Wembley without a clean sheet since Gameweek 9 – a statistic that could pave the way for Spurs’ other attacking assets to shine. With a double Gameweek 22 beckoning, this gives Fantasy managers an opportunity to weigh up further investments with Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min both potential targets.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Captaining a player who scores is always great but when you're watching it live it makes it even better.

        if you own kane you cant buy him and if you dont own kane youre definitely not buying him this gw , has nothing to do with Team value just ignorance

      Probably the same numpties that took him out because he had one blank game week on the horizon or because he didn't score away to man city.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I love this game. Watching casuals is great sometimes

    4. nadman89
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      lol there wont be a price rise if he doesnt have a game . ridiculous

    Thankfully I'm having a shite season so selling Kane last gw doesn't even hurt 😎

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years

      Same 🙂

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      This actually made me feel better

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

    Yeah but can he score in August?

  6. nadman89
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    the prob with kane captain is salah may just and go and match it and itll all be moot. it seems like it happens every time . hoping salah gets nothing

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A one minute cameo would be nice even though I own him

    2. Jsadler95
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's likely to be rested this week. He's started the last 6 and due a rest looking at Klopp's regular rotation.

  7. Tshelby

    So happy Morata got the yellow card in the cup! Would have done Kane -> Lukaku but thanks to Morata it was him for Austin 🙂

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Morata hatty confirmed

  8. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Should've TCed Kane
    It seems today might be more fruitful than the upcoming DGW

    I Kanexited first time round it it worked before this (weeks 8-13)

    Second time round not so lucky, but never mind, keeps things interesting.

    Kane captainers, big cheeeeeeers

  11. A Team Of James McCleans

    One season wonder

  12. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I want to know why Mumbles couldn't score at Wembley all those half a dozen or so times I captained him there before.

  13. Jsadler95
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who's the best value player you've ever had in FPL?

    Just noticed 2 seasons back when Kane scored 21 goals and assisted 7 he was only worth 6.0.

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Gotta be Mahrez @5.5m

      1. Jsadler95
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ahh season Leicester won the league I take it?

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez

    3. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Harry Kane at 4.5/5 million

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I think I bought him at around 4.9.
        Mahrez was awesome in 2015-16

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Andy Carroll 6 million @ Newcastle
      Siggy @ 6.5 mil

    5. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez for sure - not only that, but the underdog story made it really exciting to follow him and the Leicester games

    6. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Josh King 2nd half of last season @ 5.5m

      Florent Malouda was awesome back in like 2009...forget how much he was.

  14. GAMBIT

    As a Kane capper, just because he scored a brace doesn't make Salah and Morata bad captain picks. Both players have it in them to match him too. Remember everyone cursing their Kane C choice last week while Aguero was hauling!

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly. The emotion on this site over Kane makes me laugh. It’s possible that there are multiple good choices, not all or nothing.

    2. diesel001

      Just want that Salah 1pt cameo. Not that worried about Morata / Hazard given their ownership / cptaincy levels.

    3. nadman89
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      i was happy with the aguero haul til kane ruined it for me lol (have both) but nobody had aguero and all had kane (C)

    4. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. I'm just happy when my captain doesn't blank for the least

  15. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Stuck at 1.1 million and no Kane...... this is going to be a fun GW

  16. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Nobody has scored more than 20 points this season... come on Kane.

  17. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Harry 2 goals behind Sheringham. Accept nothing less than overtaking him, 3 goals in the second half.

  18. diesel001

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lot of respect for Alan Smith. This guy is an Arsenal great, but he often commentates on Spurs and he is always balanced. Look at how much praise he gives Harry Kane. Imagine this was Merson commentating.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I used to love Merse as a player but I cannot read or listen to him.

  19. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Doesn’t seem worth making a transfer next week. Players with good fixtures this week are the same next week
    Save it for The dgw?

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Always have that second transfer if you can...

  20. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If Salah matches Kane in points today, i dont mind if he scores 5 more 🙂

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Of course, whenever Kane is after a record/golden boot, all defences will follow the order to let him in.

  22. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    When Kane is chasing a record, you don't think twice about your C choice. Never. Ever. Last year he did it in the last 2 games and now again. He was a no brainer for this game.

    1. Stinglikeabee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Well said.

      Captain Hindsight

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        +1

    3. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This notion doesn't add up for me. Practically saying Kane tries less to score in all other games.

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you had posted this before the game started then it would have credibility. This hindsight stuff is pure rubbish.

      1. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He is my C and only one out of 2 players in my team rom GW1. Him and Salah.

  24. Jar Jar Winks

    oooo long

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Will Long ever score again?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not.

  26. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Damn. Could have done with Shane Long to score that to ensure a full game for Kane.

  27. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Long is the worst striker in the world right now.
