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

    Adrian 15 pointer incoming!

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is it too much to ask for a Spurs pen, Adrian saves, Son knocks the rebound in for a Kane assist?

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, yes, yes

      2. Zladan

        8 years, 1 month ago

        I had Fabianski saving Rooney (c) penalty spilling to DCL.for the assist the other week. Couldn’t have played out any better owning Fab and Rooney.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Solid. So far I've had two pen saves and an assist from my benched keeper.

    This has been so far w disaster of a DGW

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      DGW's where there's only one game are never great prospects because if you want the defence of one you have to bet against the offence of the other. Injuries have also been a problem, again.

    Hahaha... every gameweek always has 0-0 game. This is the only game left. Just got one question for Kane TC, *crappy Clint Eastwood impersonation*do you feel lucky?
