All eyes on well-owned Kane and Son in final fixture of Gameweek 15

The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Wolverhampton Wanderers entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux.

Kick-off in the Black Country is at 19:15 GMT.

Those Fantasy Premier League managers who handed the armband to Son Heung-min (£9.7m) or Harry Kane (£11.0m) in Gameweek 15 will be hoping their nominated captains can take advantage of Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.6m) unexpected blank earlier today and gain ground in the overall rankings.

Kane and Son were the second and third most-captained players of the current Gameweek.

Among the top 10,000 FPL managers, there were fewer takers:

Both players feature today, maintaining their 100% ever-present starter status in the Premier League this season.

There are four changes for Spurs from their previous top-flight fixture.

Matt Doherty (£5.7m), Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m), Harry Winks (£5.2m) and Ben Davies (£4.6m) are all handed recalls.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m) and Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) are benched, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) is injured.

Adama Traore (£6.1m) returns to the Wolves starting XI as boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes three changes from the side that lost to Burnley last time out.

Fabio Silva (£5.2m) and Fernando Marcal (£4.8m) are also recalled.

Budget defender Max Kilman (£4.2m) is benched, along with Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.0m) and Owen Otasowie (£4.5m).

Willy Boly (£5.4m) and Gareth Bale (£9.3m) aren’t involved in their respective clubs’ squads.

Kane and Son are the only two players on show tonight who have an effective ownership in excess of 10% in the top 10,000:


Wolves XI: Patricio, Marcal, Saiss, Coady, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Traore, Podence, Neto, Silva.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Winks, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

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

    This is likely one of those classic FPL circumstances

    Where getting Kane in makes zero sense yet he gets 30 points next 2 games anyways

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If you mean Son then yes please

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years

      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  3. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bring in Martial (WoL) or Adams (WHU)?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Won't be surprised if Martial is benched for Cavani

  4. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do Grealish to Son for free?

    1. fantasywizard
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

      I just did. Fixtures wise it looks the way to go.

  5. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you still do Watkins and KDB to Neto and Kane for -4?

    1. fantasywizard
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I will do Brewster and KDB to Kane and Raphinha. Also have Son.

  6. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Dodged a bullet tonight with no Spurs... Now I need to bring one, Kane or Son ? Who is better, tonight they were both bad, so how to choose between them ?

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Toss a coin

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    4. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m in exact same position and think I’m doing Bowen and Watkins to Son and Fabio Silva

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance lewis or mitchell play this gw?

    Domt want to take a hit selling Matip this week when i can do ot for free next one

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

    Matip to Holding for free?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would love a defence of Holding Matip if the All out attack chip still existed.

  9. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I just realized the next deadline is tomorrow lol

      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Noice, well done. Bet you've Martinez in nets. Duffus here binned him at a cost of more than 30 points a few weeks back. Still happy to get a green to 250k.

    A - Kdb and grealish for mane and soucek
    B- Grealish and lamptey for robbo and soucek
    C- Dcl and grealish for Kane and soucek

  11. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed..

    Is this G2G for the GW? Right captain choice & bench order?

    Meslier
    Dier - Dallas - Taylor
    Bruno - KDB - Salah (c) - Soucek
    DCL - Kane - Bamford

    Subs: Martinez - Coufal - Stones - Burke

    1. ManUwho
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No, activate the WC it's a bloody mess,

  12. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How does Salah + Davis > Kane + Podence for free sound?

    Gives me -

    Martinez
    Dias - Dier - Taylor
    KDB - Bruno - Grealish - Son - Podence
    Kane - Bamford

    Button - Wilson - KWP - Mitchell

    I’m building for BGW and FHing in DGW 19. Will get sterling and Clark for Bruno and KWP for BGW 18 with the next 2 FTs and have a xi our for no hits.

    Thoughts on this plan?

      • 5 Years

      1. pundit of punts

      1. pundit of punts

  13. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Not taking hits for me has been so good

    You know me.. I usually take bizarre hits and the last two I haven’t and I’ve seen myself go from 1.2 million to 400k and go up to first in my MLs

    Still planning on taking a -4 tho lol

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I cant find decent mid....not going with bowen and West ham craps

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs last 6 matches and league rank:

    Chances created: 29 (20th)
    Big chances created: 5 (18th)
    Shots: 46 (20th)
    Shots inside box: 25 (20th)
    Total shots on target: 25 (20th)
    Penalty area touches: 81 (19th)
    Successful crosses: 17 (19th)
    Non-penalty xG: 3.7 (19th)

    Not very inspiring for the Son + Kane double up! :s

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      played Livp/chel/leic/ars in last 6

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        True. But even this GW against an average Wolves side:

        0 big chances created (20th)
        5 chances created (18th)
        4 shots inside box (18th)
        14 penalty area touches (17th)
        0.4 xG (18th)

    Tinkering with WC, cant decide on either a GW19BB or TC Salah.

    If you play for TC, it helps set your team up for GW20 an beyond
    If you play BB, you have a bit mess to clean up

    Anyone see it different? Snap poll on what you are doing!

  18. Zimo
    • 5 Years

    Pope
    Taylor Zouma Coufal

    It looks so good but it'll end up in tears like always.

    5. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It looks good because the bench has to be hidden away from view.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        haha you could be right! But still what a team

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I have the amazing Balbuena 😆 don't really need more than 1 bench player honestly

    6. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I've had horrid luck with my captains. 10 blanks out of 15. Horrible rank even with such a team.

  19. nico05

    Which combo is best to go for on WC
    A Reece James playing Saka 1st sub

  20. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I have no Chelsea defender and I am thinking about doing Martinez to Mendy for free. Also with the DGW in mind. But it feels wrong because Martinez has been brilliant. Is it a good a move?

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

      No it’s not a good move

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ditch Martinez? no way!

  21. Big Ronnie

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Could do that and would mean could get Trent instead of a sub £5m def

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    WC drafts questions...

    A) Which premium striker if any
    B) Salah and Robo or TAA enough pool?
    C) Double West ham defence?
    D) Adams, Wood or Antonio

    How are people looking?

  23. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    KDB out for Son or Mané?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      1. WrightnBright
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        True, could fund a pool def or upgrade DCL

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years

    Wood & Grealish (value tied up with G)

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
