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.

    Wolves look really comfortable against Spurs. Not looking good so far for Kane,Son owners

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      One thing that I’m being positive on is the fact Spurs are due a penalty - only had one so far this season

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

        Need to get in the opposition box in order for that to happen

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I know, what I don’t understand is how the Southampton, Man United and West Ham games have been so polarising compared to the rest

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Tbf there’s been a few awarded from fouls outside the box this season 😉

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        So there's a quota that needs to be used before year end? 😉

        - 'Due' the most overused and overrated term in fpl language

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Law of averages, you keep spinning a coin and getting heads, the probability of the next one being a head again is still 50:50 but at one point the tails will pop up

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Far too may variables at work to employ this simplicity of predictability

        2. markus808
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It's a roulette players lingo. I feel like black is due.

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            There are only 2 colours to begin with, so it's 50/50. How many permutations are there on a team/player gaining a penalty - eh? 🙂

  2. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    0:1 till the final whistle blows

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

    Best sub 9m midfielder for the DGW?

    I'm thinking Maddison.

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

      Ziyech if fit.

      Maddison also good.

      Souchek best value.

      Raphinha also decent.

  4. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years

    Kane, son, kdb, salah.

    All a bag of sh*te

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

      thissss

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A lot of worthless money this week at least, sadly. Should’ve captained Bruno

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        With the help off hindsight we all should have captained him.

  5. Niho992

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed :

    Bench two

    A : Dallas
    B : Taylor
    C : Coufal
    D : Balbuena

    1. Begbie.

        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This

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

        Thinking the same. Double CS on the bench inc

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

    Any chance mitchell starts tomorrow over PVA cinsidering the quick turn around and how bad palace defence has been?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Doubt it

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I think there’s a good chance. Maybe PVA in midfield and Mitchell left back.

      I think Koch and Cooper out for a while so Strujik at Leeds (3.9) should get some regular starts

  7. Homer21
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bus parked?

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kane not having a great audition to convince me to use 2FT bringing him in for KDB

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

      Thinking just this !

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

      Definitely not Son for me if nayone from Spurs attack

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

      Kane has looked crap every game since he got 16 points in week 5. Been getting lucky points

      Glad i sold him 3 weeks ago but might get him back for leeds

    4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wolves away is no easy fixture tbf.
      Was only last week they beat Chelsea

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

    Hi there can anyone please help me tweak my team on wildcard
    McCarthy
    Justin Reguilon Cancelo
    Salah Bruno KDB Zaha Grealish
    Adams Wilson
    Shaw Brewster Mitchel
    0.6 available
    1.Would downgrading Zaha and upgrading an attacker be wise?
    2. Is Adams - Bamford a good move?
    Or anything else obvious worth doing?
    Thank you

    1. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn’t get Wilson on WC

    2. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Or mitchell or Brewster. Get people who will play as there will be rotation coming up

    3. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Or zaha

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

        who you you recomend swapping for zaha & wilson?

    4. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes definitely get Bamford but instead of wilson

  10. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son+Kane don't even look essential vs Fulham now, not sure who to buy anymore.

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

      Spurs vs fulham won’t be the goal fest people are thinking/hoping

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

        Fulham are gonna attack so there's a chance, but it will be Kane's 4th game in 10 days so I'm wary of getting him.

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      🙂 They were never essential. You can probably afford 4 max. premiums. Pick your best 3/4 for your strategy for 18/19, before and beyond for the max. points potential

  11. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Winks has been awful

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Woeful player, would look out of place in the Championship

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

    How does mourinho get employed as a premier league manager?

    His teams are the physical embodiment of the menopause

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It could be the multiple league titles.

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

        This

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

        Being honest - would a bag of crisps really have done all that much worse than Jose with those chelsea sides?

        An absolute charlatan if ever there was one

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure where to begin with this.

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

            At the start?

            1. Marvin Moon
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              League titles in 4 countries. Champions league winner. That is not what a charlatan is. That is a genuine winner.

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

                Negative menopausal clown

                1. Marvin Moon
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Well that sure trumped my argument.

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

                    100%

              2. Pep bites Kun
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Agree with the titles, but he's a moaning Minnie when not winning - blames everyone, but himself and throws anyone possible under a bus to deflect the attention away from himself. That's not a genuine winner in my book

                1. Marvin Moon
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Fair comment. At least you have a coherent argument.

                  1. Pep bites Kun
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 3 months ago

                    🙂 cheers! Enjoyed the thread. Merry Christmas, enjoy the hols

                    1. Marvin Moon
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 3 months ago

                      You too mate.

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

          It was mainly teams that he built

          He won 3 league titles in 6 seasons with chelsea.. theyve only won 2 in the other 11 seasons since the take over

          Also...milan and porto

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

      His team are leading in fairness

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      his CL wins are two of the greatest feats in managerial history.

  13. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son not so convincing

    1. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Honestly not only this match.

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

      Still want to buy him as know what he’s capable of. Is that silly?

  14. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best captain for GW16?
    A) Salah
    B) Kane

    Bench one for GW16
    1) DCL
    2) Soucek
    3) Grealish

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

      Bruno

      Soucek

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

      A2

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

    Want to buy Son. Would Grealish or KDB be better to sell?

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

      Grealish

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

      Grealish

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

      Kdb

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

      Are you not watching the Spurs game then?

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

        Not closely enough it seems

    5. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They are in different price range.

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Did you watch Grealish vs Palace? He's fixture proof. No way I'm selling not just because Villa fan.

  16. whitearselane
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all, have salah and fernandes and want to swap de bruyne to mane or son to rashford.
    which is better for the double or just them?

  17. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    McCarthy (Forster)
    TAA Dallas Coufal (Lewis Branthwaite)
    Sarah KDB Bruno Son Grealish
    Bamford Adams (Brewster)

    A. Save FT
    B. Downgrade Grealish
    C. KDB to Mane

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

    How’s the Mourinhio double decker looking?

  19. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Not great viewing for us Kane Son owners

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So tired of watching us play like this, 1-0 and sit on the back foot, 1-0 is never enough and the counter attacks have dried up, absolutely zero plan B.

    Oh well, we’ll probably win the carabau cup

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

      Yeah, what's up with the lack of counter attacks? They just don't look arsed anymore

  21. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is getting Rodrigo a risk?
    Leeds have great fixtures and a dgw. But not sure if Rodrigo won't start all games

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

      Id go for Bamford tbh

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

        Already own him

  22. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else liking a Martinelli punt? Kid’s something else

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Very much so! Great option

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

      Looking good, waiting to see how nailed. Also 0 interest from me before gw19 so an easy wait

  23. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best hammers defender for the dgw? Balbuena looks best value

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

      Balbuena for me. He's nailed in that back 3 and capable of the odd set piece goal

  24. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Fofana a safer pick than Justin who might lose his place if Pereria is back?

  25. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Strongly considering no longer captaining a premium vs. a team 15th or lower in the table. Tough to get anything against a team bringing back 9 or 10 inside 30 yards of the goal. But maybe that's just WBA recently...?

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

      It's not a bad suggestion. Teams are really lying deep and hoping for the best.

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      PS - Saying that not just because of the Pool game today.

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Who would you captain next gw then?
      Salah vs Newcastle's bus
      Kane/Son vs ever improving Fulham
      Bruno vs Wolves who don't concede many

    4. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just captain a premium player any time they're playing Leeds and you'll be fine lol

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha. Now that's a fine suggestion.

  26. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    A Son & Martial/Abraham/Lacazette
    B Kane & Pulisic

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

      A because son over kane but forget those other three and spend elsewhere

  27. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Are there any 4.3m defenders playing in the double gw ?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Johnson at West Ham probably.

      1. Begbie.
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe Struijk. Not sure how long Koch (lol), Cooper and Llorente are out.

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

        Not very sure though

  28. Ginola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Guys need your help after a GW from hell.

    Play:
    A. Taylor
    B. Dallas

    Captain:
    1. Salah
    2. Kane

  29. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This Spurs match is similar as the Liverpool match we witnessed hours ago

  30. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves and Spurs have both been painful to watch as a neutral this season.

    Lots of men behind the ball and sideways and backwards passes. Yawn.
