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.

    Had Kane(c) for every game of this season. I deserve this. He’s also one of the reasons i’m languishing in 800’000 place. Onwards and upwards

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane (c) every game has been a profitable move - I have done likewise, except for Lukaku in GWs 1 and 2, and the week where Kane was out, and he's averaged more than 14 points a game over that time for me

      I set out to do that, ofc he scored 7 goals in the 3 weeks I didn’t captain so I’m happy with having him cap this week

    My frontline: Kane, Gray, Niasse.

    Three non starters for GW21? Or should Gray get his place back?

    If he doesn't then who to get?

    Gross, Knockaert and Murray all benched for Brighton. Hughton rolling over against Chelsea.

      Fine with me, have Morata & Hazard. Just a shame Christensen isn't playing.

    Forgot to change captaincy this morning from Haz to Kane. Was too busy to remember. Incredible. Day ruined at mo...!!!!

      Christmas always catches casuals out 😉

        I’m not a casual

          Yes you are

      I ‘forgot’ to captain him last week. 😉

        • 9 Years

        mate i 'forgot' to transfer him in

      2. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Forgot captaining him both weeks 😆

    Delpoitre's fat arse sat on the bench

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      To be fair, you knew the risk when you brought him in. As did I, so I'm not upset. DCL first sub helps

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A 1 Point cameo would be devastating

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That hattrick from kane is welcomed as I have about 7 players playing and no bench

  7. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Think im out of the cup, opponent C Kane 🙁

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good luck next year
      Many of us are out

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      +1

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      So it's ages since you owned him then which makes this post nonsense.

  10. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Benched DCL after the rumours but he is not very good anyway so probably a blessing in disguise

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Without Shrek I doubt he will be taking prisoners

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

      Hat-trick incoming.....

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thissd

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      What were the rumours 😆

  11. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Tough call between Son and Alli for the DGW.. who's your preference?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son atm.

    4. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Alli
      Maybe both

    5. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was thinking Eriksen but now thinking Alli or Son. No idea which.

    6. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    7. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son>Eriksen>Alli

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane could become first player to double rise, before a blank GW

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Suarez?

  13. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    DCL on penos?

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Niasse probably.

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry.. hadn't seen the line ups

  14. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Where's the HUD lineup?

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Reid dropped by Moyes is interesting.

    No defender is safe for the DGW!

  16. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Nearly got Kane in but thought I’d wait until after the blank week. Arghhh

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Should judge it over 2 gameweeks then

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This. Its bad but its not awful. Tough week coming for a lot

    2. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Same
      We should have done it
      Oh well long season ahead

  17. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A few on here got my hopes up of niasse starting.. knew it was too good to be true lol

    1. seewhyaxe
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I had hopes too.

      He might come off and score a brace though

  18. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Goals galore today!! I can’t wait for the 3pm games

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      0-0s all round

  19. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Christensen wtf?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good sign imo, means Luiz isn't close to a return as Conte is saving Christensen for the next few

  20. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Can I make transfers on the same week as using my free hit?

    For example
    Could I transfer in Kane after his blank and proceed to use my free hit whilst keeping Kane for the following week?

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      want to know this too

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No. All the transfers will be part of Free Hit

  21. Pranav Santhosh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kanexit obviously wins because I could upgrade Christensen to Alonso 😆

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully Alonso gets 2 goals and a CS

  22. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone selling Kane for a week?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bench

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Want to take a hit to bring Son and Alli, so no

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe for Morata depend on tonight.

    4. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. Waste of two transfers.

      1. Holding Matip
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not at all - 2 points min you otherwise wouldn't have got, and then transferring back in for the double game week means its free

    5. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Doubre rise incoming before blank to avoid sold out

    6. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bench (got him at 12.5m)

    7. Holding Matip
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, only costs 2 points if you think about it, and then the double game week means its free

  23. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Christensen owners hoping chelsea concede ? ( be honest 😉 )

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That goes without saying.

    2. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Obviously

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      About time he got a rest

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        maybe slight injury ?

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely, rival has Cahill 🙁

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You bet we are! Highly unlikely though.

    7. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Would love it. Cleanie nailed though now.

    8. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Of course

    9. T.Henry14
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nope, I doubled Chelsea's defense for Brighton and Stoke 🙂

  24. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone take a hit to get Kane in?

    Or did the blank coming brigade stop you?

    I'd rather of had his points and bench just bench him than be clever and try to maximise points when people are benching.

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hit and captain

  25. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Glad didn't downgrade Azpi to Christ.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I did

    2. MGD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Me too...

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Very pleased for you.

  26. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Dunk coming on for Christensen. Need a 1-0 Brighton win now.

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

  27. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I bought Wilson cause he is on pens...

  28. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Christensen rested or injured?

  29. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    No Rooney again. Very disappointed. No Niasse as substitute aswell. I'm done with them two after today.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney will be back. Just ill.

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney has been pictures with his wedding ring again, him and Colleen prob playing happy families...too busy for footie

  30. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Lane owners keeping or selling and getting back

    Would be temptied if I got him for 12.8 or more
