The two most-captained players of Gameweek 5 feature in the third Premier League match of the day.

West Ham United are the visitors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off in north London at 16:30 BST.

Son Heung-min (£9.3m) and Harry Kane (£10.7m) have both been handed the armband by over one million Fantasy Premier League managers for this clash.

They were also the most-bought players in their respective FPL positions ahead of Gameweek 5, with Son attracting more transfers in – just under two million – than any other asset.

Those two in-form attackers start again this afternoon but loan signing Gareth Bale (£9.5m) is only among the substitutes, having made the Spurs matchday squad for the first time since his move from Real Madrid.

There is a change to the Spurs frontline for the visit of the Hammers, however, with Lucas Moura (£6.9m) dropping to the bench and Steven Bergwijn (£7.1m) starting in his stead.

The only other alteration to the Lilywhites’ starting XI from the side that thrashed Manchester United 6-1 two weeks ago sees Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) replace the injured Eric Dier (£5.0m) at centre-half.

All of that means that Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) have to be content with places on the bench again.

Dele Alli (£7.5m) isn’t involved in the 18-man squad.

The West Ham team news is straightforward, as David Moyes names an unchanged side from the one that beat Leicester City 3-0 last time out.

Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) has recovered from injury to take his place at left wing-back.

Not one West Ham asset has a double-digit ownership in FPL, with Michail Antonio (£6.3m) the only member of their starting XI who features in more than 5% of Fantasy squads.


Spurs XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio.

      Scraping the barrel for 4.5s with attacking potential

    This season is cray cray

    Spurs crumbling

    Starting to look like the Spurs I know

      Sadly yes.

    I can’t beleive VVD is out for what will essentially end up being 10+ months. All for a tackle that ended up happening in an out of play situation, besides the point.

    I’ve seen some horrible comments from Everton fans praising Pickford and laughing. They seem to forget when Son unintentionally broke Gomes’s leg, they were calling for his head. They really are a horrible fan base.

    1. mgilbert86

      way to sum up an entire fan base for a few comments on the internet

      Could be season destroying IMO
      One of the main reasons Man City missed out last year was due to Laporte being injured for so long

    4. Zimo
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I don't think the fanbase is the problem. It's just those specific people

    5. OverTinker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      don't think there are many. May be some online trolls

  6. Twisted Saltergater

    Reguilon owners in tears

    1. Ibralicious
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Only in teams for attacking potential because no way he keeps a CS with this defence

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Got assist ... but yeah was close to a haul

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Really unlucky seeing as West Ham haven’t been in this game.

        1. Bushwhacker
          6 years, 11 days ago

          What? West Ham have been the better side for 50 minutes

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Hardly! Toothless.

    3. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Happy with 4 tbh

  7. Ibralicious
    6 years, 11 days ago

  9. Magic Zico

    Yarmalenko there ... why has he not been a starter for WHU?

    1. Tcheco
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Think he's had injury issues

  10. Party time
    6 years, 11 days ago

  12. Garlana

  13. Londongeezaa
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Bale could cost Spurs 3 points 🙂

  14. Underdogs11
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Am I the only one who is not sure that Bale's return is good for Son and Kane fpl-wise?

    1. UshFPL
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Kane has just gone much deeper

  15. Eze Really?
    6 years, 11 days ago

    1 clean sheet in a possible 16.

  16. Free Hat
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Was there something mentioned about Haller?

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Would cry tears of joy if we can get a 0-0 with Martinez penalty save

    1. Leonard hatred
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Cleansheet and a grealish hattrick against an injury ravaged Leicester would do the trick.

    2. Chhana
      6 years, 11 days ago

      yes please.. Justin and Martinez owner

  18. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 11 days ago

  25. MagicMessi
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Masuaku yellow card

  26. Piggs Boson
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Spurs still weak to headers, even from their own players.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      You'd think Soucek would be ideal for that .....

  27. BenDavies
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Who do people have coming on for Vardy?

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Nuts Bale’s evolution from a LB

  29. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Omg no bloody well I am the unluckiest FPL player in history, kept Vardy instead of doing a -4 to Kane FML FML FML

    1. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Jammy bench points ftw!

  30. BlzE_94
    6 years, 11 days ago

    best 6.0m forward to have on wildcard?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Watkins if he looks good otherwise Brewster and bank the change.

      Monitor Bamford but imagine he might pull a Pukki

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Very unlikely as Leeds play way better than Norwich ever did
