The final round of festive fixtures comes to its conclusion at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham play the second match of their double Gameweek 22.

Much to our collective relief, Harry Kane returns to the hosts’ starting line-up after producing just a single point from his 22 minutes off the bench at Swansea on Tuesday night.

It’s fair to say that the Fantasy Premier League hopes of many managers rely on the Spurs striker this evening.

Not only is he the top captain pick for the Gameweek (24.2%), a hefty 121,000+ Triple Captain chips have been wielded on Kane in light of back-to-back hat-tricks in his previous two starts.

The allure of a double Gameweek has also boosted in interest in Spurs midfield trio Son Heung-min, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli. All three join Kane on the teamsheet and are also among the top 13 armband picks for Gameweek 22.

The top transfer target for Gameweek 22, with 498,000+ new owners, Son has scored in five of Tottenham’s last six at Wembley, totalling 57 points over those matches.

Eriksen and Alli, meanwhile, bagged an assist and goal respectively in Tuesday’s win at Swansea to continue their improved form.

The Dane has supplied points in six of his last seven outings, while Alli has two goals and four assists in his previous three.

At the back, Ben Davies earns successive starts for the first time since Gameweek 16 as Danny Rose misses out with a knee complaint again.

The big news for the Hammers is that Marko Arnautovic is sidelined with a minor hamstring problem.

Drafted in by over 368,000 for his pair of fixtures, he ends double Gameweek 22 on five points, having earned the assist for Andy Carroll’s late winner against West Brom.

Carroll’s two goals in the Baggies’ clash isn’t enough to keep his role in the XI, though – he drops to the bench as Chicharito leads the line instead.

The Mexican and Manuel Lanzini – who has supplied four assists in his previous five – carry the main threat to a defence that’s looking for their tenth clean sheet of the season.

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

    Feels good not owning Kane, captaining Son and not falling for the its “essential” to own Kane let alone triple captain him for a double gameweek where the games are two days apart! First thing that’s gone my way in quite a while.

    1. Anathallo

      Nothing against you personally, but these posts are so frustrating. I've got no problem with people saying stuff like this, but if you're confident in 'not falling' for owning Kane, why not be vocal about it as boldly beforehand? No angst at you, but it's easy to be right in hindsight. It's like someone saying I was so wise to captain Obiang and not fall for capping Eriksen?!

    Sold Kane 2 weeks ago... two 90+ game weeks. Get him back in for -4... 50 points game week.

    I'm shipping him again.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep him.

      I made the same mistake and missed out on his 2 hatricks.

      Kane is haul or nothing this season and you never know which week is the haul and which week is nothing.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Even without his 2 hatties I got plus 90 each of those weeks is my point.

  21. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater

    Thanks to an Obiang goal, I've beaten my FPL cup opponent by 1 pt who had Davies 🙂

  22. JAC THE CAT

  23. Spike ⚽️

  24. Cok3y5murf

    Kane's 11th blank of the season. 12.9m.

    1. willl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Points are more important than number of blanks.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If you captained him at the right times, yeah. I captained him for 5 of his blanks, I think.

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        6 including this one.

  25. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I suppose with so many people captaining Kane it does not really matter that he didn’t score...wheather he got 0 or 3 the outcome of the week would have been decided by the rest of the team...
    I know we could have made up ground on the few who captained hazard ecc but that s only a minority, sooo..

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only really bad if u hit the tc button

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Who the F captained hazard?!

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The user Hazard is a FPL Legend probably did.

  26. FDMS All Starz

    Poor poor GW. Worst TC in 3 attempts and considering the other two (Lukaku and Aguero) were bad, I have no luck with this overrated chip
