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.

      Keep

    5. JelliedSpark968

      nah keep

    6. Bojam
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep. Villa are an attacking team who can score against anyone. Watkins heavily involved and has been unlucky not to score more. Three double digit returns already this season (vs Pool, Arsenal & yesterday against Villa).

    7. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      thanks all, not the reply i expected. will probably follow advice 🙂

    8. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep. Was unlucky not to mega-haul (or just poor)

    9. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep. He tends to do well in the tougher games.

    10. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t get why people are saying keep with awful fixtures, he’s trash! Adams all day

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea

  2. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Adam's end product is just so so terrible!

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Adama*

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's what Eve said

  3. Cruyff Turn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ndombele worth a punt yet?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never in a million years

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son or bust from that midfield I'm afraid.

      Maybe Bale, if he ever starts in the PL.

      1. Cruyff Turn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think Bale is going to play a big part towards the end of the season. No way Mou brought him in without a trick up his sleeve.

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It's going to be Son Kane Bale as front three when from February onwards I feel. He's getting Bale warmed up in Europa and Cup games.

          1. Cruyff Turn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, exactly.

  4. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Filva almost!

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A Kane goal and Son og will do me

  6. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Mane worth the extra cash over Rashford? Already own Salah and Bruno

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think he is.

  7. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What chip strategy would you use with this lot? I have all chips remaining apart from my first WC.
    1FT and 0.2itb.

    Mccarthy Martin
    Zouma Dias Dallas Konsa Neco
    Salah KDB Bruno Son Anguissa
    DCL Bamford Adams

    1. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      FH 18

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. I don't think I'll BB 19 as would need to take at least 2 hits to get a decent bench. Maybe TC Salah 19?

  8. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A pitty Salah has back-2-back games where it makes sense to captain him. Casuals who forget the deadline will not be punished.

  9. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should i get Salah instead of KDB don't have him

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

  10. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you pick one from Cancelo/Reguilon or rather go for Taylor with DGW?

    Have Robo/Dallas/Coufal/Kilman/Mitchell now.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would get Cancelo

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Tempting tbh

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Get Cancelo. Wish I could find a way of getting him back.

  11. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane is looking more and more like waste of money as the weeks go by.

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Most owners holding for the dgw I think.

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm a bit worried about him playing 4 games in 11 days as well.

  12. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy or Kane for next 2? FH18.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane much more nailed, Rodgers may rest Vardy

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks all, didn’t realise Vardy was going to be rested

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy wont start next gw

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane. Vardy may not start next game.

    5. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy

    6. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane for me.

  13. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Might just keep KDB and save ft. Everton might be open game, both teams going for the kill.
    Son and Mane other options.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same here, can’t makeup my mind, so may just aid it & keep i dunno

    2. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same. Lack of replacements as well as I have Bruno, Salah and Son.

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB > Salah for me

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vestergaard >

    A) Balbuena
    B) Taylor

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane deeper than a Sopranos episode

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Oh Marone!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        *Madonna

  16. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on the WC?

    Meslier/Steer

    Robbo/Dias/Justin/Taylor/Johnson

    Salah/Son or Bruno/Soucek/Raphinha/Anguissa

    Vardy/Martial/Bamford

  17. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best Lamptey replacement?
    A) James
    B) Justin
    C) Dias

    1. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  18. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I'm settled on this WC. Still 0.5 ITB. Any changes needed? Will FH in BGW17 and do Kane > Vardy in DGW18

    McCarthy - Johnstone
    Trent - Matip - Balbuena - Taylor - Dallas
    Salah - Bruno - Son - Soucek - Rafinha
    Kane - Bamford - Watkins

    1. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Already did Matip > Justin after the injury today

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Looks good. Thoughts on LIV defence without Matip though?

        1. Jet5605
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Robbo's an assist magnet plus they might bring someone in when the window opens.

    2. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good. Any decent looking upgrades from Watkins for the double?

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Antonio if he's fit otherwise I'll have to settle for Adams

  19. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    For the next few GWs:

    A) Martial
    B) DCL

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A especially if using FH in 18

    2. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  20. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Robbo Cancelo Taylor
    Bruno Son KDB Soucek
    DCL Adams Bamford

    4.0 Lewis Anguissa Ayling 1ft 3.5itb

    KDB to Salah tonight looking okay?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, looks good. FH and BB?

  21. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mourinho giving excuse that he was trying new formation when he just wanted to drop Aurier. It's still the same 0-8-2 or 8-0-2 formation.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Once a coward, always a coward

      Joke of a manager

      Absolute clown

  22. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane and Son fail?
    Or too early?

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too early

  23. Tronity
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With an eye on the double game weeks, thoughts on KDB and DCL to Salah and Bamford with 2FTs?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team and if you’re bench boosting but it sounds good

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is so boring. Spurs basically sitting back and grinding this out

    It’s going to be a familiar site for the coming weeks especially after the recent losses

    Son out for me this week is becoming likely

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son a season keeper

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yawn.

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't fancy keeping him for Leeds?

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would surely attack more against Fulham and Leeds at home. Especially the Leeds game, they'll have tons of space behind the Leeds defense.

  25. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Grealish to Son worth a -4?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes imo

  26. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martial or Rashford?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The one who can shoot at net rather than the keeper 24/7

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

      Rash, I'd be surprised if Martial starts next few, was abysmal against Leicester.

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

      Rashford but shoulder did seem to be troubling him again- not sure if we will get any team news before deadline

  27. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking
    Kdb+bednarek-> Neto+robbo

    Suggestions

    Meslier nyland
    Zouma Alioski Taylor Bednarek Dunne
    Kdb Salah son grealish Fernandes
    DCL Bamford Brewster

    2 FT 0.0ITB

    Brewster + kdb
    To
    Kane + soucek
    I'd bench DCL

    1. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The latter option actually

  28. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ndombele is really good at getting out of tight situations.

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More elusive than Peter Sutcliffe

  29. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really cant decide if KDB > Son is a good move.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ll give you a clue

      It’s. Good move

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      When KDB is playing Everton and Chelsea, Son will be playing Fulham and Leeds. I would fancy him to outscore Kev.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        this is what i said to myself when i did Salah to KdB when KdB had WBA and Soton

  30. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Meslier nyland
    Zouma Alioski Taylor Bednarek Dunne
    Kdb Salah son grealish Fernandes
    DCL Bamford Brewster

    2 FT 0.0ITB

    Brewster+ kdb -> Kane & soucek
    Would mean DCL on the bench

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’d just boot DCL to save the bench headache

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Keeping DCL ensures me a body for GW18 where I'm not using any chip

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How many will you have playing BGW18 then?

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            7 maybe if I take a hit in between
