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.

    Funny how the sentiment towards Kane has changed so much in 10 days - people didn't want the prem top scorer in their teams because lukaku and morata are "better"

    There's a reason Kane is nearly 13m, and people have finally realised why.

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You wouldn't be saying this if he blanked

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

        He's blanked plenty of times but is still top scorer points and goals?

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      This. People were reluctant to captain before Burnley when in reality they were racked with injuries

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Captained him against Burnley and did again today. People saw a good player take a hit to get him out and decided to follow. He wasn’t not scoring this year before these two hatricks either.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Glad I kept him

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      We're not all psychic 😉

    5. Guba
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Had him from the start and have never dropped, patience is important.

      For me, if an elite players underlying numbers are good then theyre worth holding, you'll only burn yourself if you sell because their explosion can happen anytime against anyone. This is why I haven't sold Haz and held Alonso through the bad patch. Hopefully he pays that back today!

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Regardless of Hazard this and next GW I hope to ship him for Ali for his DGW.

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

    Only 3 of Kane's 39 league goals this year were penalties. Wtf

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Beast

  3. Maddi Son

    It would be a nice spanner in the works if another premium player gets a hatty.

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

      Azpi is a premium player. I'd love a hatty from him!

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

      I need Hazard to do so and cease ruining my day - forgot to change captaincy this morning. I am DEVASTATED.

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

      Salah & Haz 12-15 pointers & Kane capers won't actually gain a lot of OR. But if Haz/Salah are quiet... Kane capers will soar up the OR rankings

            Not even nearly as good

            Snickers, bounty, mars, twix, topic even malteser

            The best hero wouldn't get in that side

  9. Teror

    My transfers the past two weeks:

    GW19: Kane + Morata + Richarlison > Lukaku + Rooney + Sane

    GW20: Tarkowski > Christensen

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you get Sane?

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

        He looked brilliant against Spurs

    2. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years

      Username accurate.

        Who's best Kane replacement for next week? Auguero?

  11. Sims
    • 9 Years

    Wish morata never got banned now

    More kane non owners would have been even better

    1. Rainer

      Yeah, a lot got very lucky.

    Kane saying his physical side of the game has improved most this year, mentioning his recovery between games in an intense schedule.

    Starting both matches in DGW22 - TC!

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      im considering that too yo

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Can't see any reason not to right now. Going into two good fixtures on the back of two hat-tricks.

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted! Would be lovely for him to bang them in with TC!

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure on this tiredness theory for GW22. Both sides will be tired but Spurs have a bigger squad. Spurs win early at Swansea and he'll probably not do 90 minutes.

  13. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Want to transfer out Ward before he drops in price. Any suggestions for a replacement under 5.0? Also have Christensen, Otamendi, Jones, Mbemba, Elliot and Ryan.

    Thanks!

    DCL rumours made me put Niasse as my 1st bench. FML 😀

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

      Made me Bench DCL and get Depoitre in for Austin! Huge mistake

  15. Scholsey
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A bloody legend Harry Kane! Already 8 hat tricks down! Shearer got the max , 11 in his entire career!

  16. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Quiet a list of behind Kane in top goalscorers for the year :-
    errr Messi,
    errr Ronaldo,
    errr Cavani,
    and errr Lewandovski.

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

      Look how many games he got them in too compared to those players. Scored at a faster rate than all of them. And he has scored against Real and Dortmund.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Extremely humble guy too.

  17. One Man
    • 9 Years

    Is Kane now essential ?

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

      since thw start of the season

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

      No.

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

      GW22 yes

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

      Rhetorical question?

    5. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He has been for quite a while now. You've got to live with his blanks if you want his explosiveness.

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

      Always was never wont be

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

      Not until GW22

  18. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Are you taking Kane out before blank and get back or trust in RLC DCL or cheap defenders ? Would mean extra hits and trouble so surely just trust in average players to do OK?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No. Keep him then triple captain him the following GW.

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

      Benching Kane here.

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

      Taking out, earnt the transfer cost to hokey cokey

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

        Bench kane. Strong squad should cover his absence

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kenny off bench for Christensen so hopefully not too bad!

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

    So, who started the DCL rumour then? School boy error this morning listening to that

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

      Really? He is crap anyway.. fully expect 2 points count yourself lucky

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        For that price what can you expect? Allows a boosted midfield.

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

        Haha!... West Brom are also crap though!

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

        And it has cost me a transfer therefore cost me 4points next GW more than likely

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

    BBC reporter on Final Score just said Christensen is ill.

  22. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane has been the most explosive player in FPL for a few years - surprised people forgot that so quickly ?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Few years? This is his first season as FPL's most expensive.

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

        Explosives has nothing to do with his price

      2. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Misread that too at first, but he says explosive

      3. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Eh ? I said explosive ... go check out his hattie stats 🙂

    2. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      GW1-3 was a chore this season. Its been tough owning at times

  23. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane got so mad with Jay ditching him that he scored 2 consecutive hat tricks.

  24. Manani
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    on WC, worth ditching Kane and lose .2m value?? (potentially even more with crazy transfer in)

  25. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    I bought Christensen this week. Bugger.

  26. zakard
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kenny rested?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He's starting

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He's on the team sheet first xi.

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

      If you consider starting resting, then yes he's being rested.
