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.

      I have the same conundrum. Here are some notes I made on both to Son.

      Grealish
      - amazing to watch, feels like he could haul at any time
      - creates so many chances, surely his teammates can start converting more (watkins, traore, el ghazi)
      - 2 games in hand (when are these likely to be played?)
      - difficult fixtures but has performed well in them before
      - exact funds to make the move to Son but will it limit my flexibility for GW19? (still have Mitchell & Brewster)

      KDB
      - not showing his 11.5m value
      - is a good differential at only 23%
      - looked knackered yesterday and played further back, is he likely to play again tomorrow given the squad depth that City have?
      - Has 1 game in hand
      - Leaves extra money in bank, extra flexibility for next moves

              Update: decided to go KDB > Son, otherwise it will be impossible to upgrade Brewster, Mitchell & DCL for the DGW. Also keen to keep Grealish for his 2 games in hand. Forgot to mention that he is on 4 YCs so hope he will keep his cool!

                It's a risk certainly, but one I'm willing to take on a talisman with obvious talent, but taking into account the rest of the baggage. Are there better/equal/other options? Always 🙂 Choose your strategy, commit. bol!

      I had the same problem. Based on yesterday’s display i can’t bring myself to get rid of grealish (next 10 GW’s are great, aside from next 3). In the end with a very heavy heart I swapped KDB and Watkins for Son and Kane in order to keep Grealish. Worried about not having KDB but can away bring him in for a hit if him/City start to play in GW’s 16/17

          It's a risk, but I'll transfer him out if neccessary. I think there's more chance he'll be ready than not, and I don't really want Adams.

          Button and Brewster the ones that need changing. Justin is a decent option. Stones has Palace at home. So, not worth moving for a DGWer.

          If the rest of the team looks good, you can lose premium and upgrade Button to Johnstone and Brewster to Adams.

          Just think So'ton will score more goals hence Adams a better pick to be involved

        How do you gain/cover up ground this season?

        Popular captain like Salah this week doesn't work.
        Differential captain like Kane last gw kills u if it fails.
        Going Pool defence over a city defender has backfired

        Would really like to know your opinion on how to cover up points this season

          Ya can’t do it. Try anything different ya get punished for it. Turned into a boring non fun game

          City defence isn't highly owned, get double City defence and permacap Bruno.

          There ain't no winning formula this season.

          I'm still chasing my GW1 rank

          Too many template picks have fired this season. Last week was the best example of that. Personally haven’t been able to do it

          For me it's more on a week on week basis - I pick and choose which weeks I look for alpha (differential upside vs ML leaders).

          Some weeks just say, okay let me just match you, others I will target a specific player / team.

            I guess I'm in a different situation. I could not give a damn about my OR - only worry about ML's.

        Should have blown for a free kick, there's no clear advantage there. Poor refereeing
