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.

FPL Lessons Learned from Gameweek 15

  1. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best 4.5 keeper for the DGW?

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Johnstone. Big Sam has convinced me.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes was leaking that way, and he looks likely to rise tonight so need to make the call. The Fulham keeper appears to be the only other option

    2. JelliedSpark968
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Meslier

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        4.6, can’t afford him mate

        1. JelliedSpark968
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Oh, well Johnstone is next best

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

    Has there ever been a bigger downgrade than Doherty > Semedo??

    Wtf was Nuno thinking

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It was a dodgy Mendes transfer mate, doubt they wanted him to leave

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

      Doherty is also a downgrade from Aurier.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Been loads. Saints went from Mane to Redmond.. Everton from Lukaku to Tosun

    4. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Try Courtouis to Kepa.

    5. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Torres > Carroll

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Doherty is also piss poor

    7. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero > Jesus

  3. afsr
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    KdB + Watkins to

    A: Vardy, Grealish (-4)
    B: Kane, Maddison (-4)

    1. Phlajo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy+Maddison if you're not FH19

    2. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      I did B just

  4. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    When do we find out about Villas extra games & the rescheduled cup games?

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      We'll learn the cup games before GW 24.

      No one knows about the GW 1 reschedules. I fully expect the City-Villa game to be rescheduled one of the Champions League round of 16 weeks they don't play.

  5. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane and Son owners (me) to be disappointed yet again. I think I bought in Kane two weeks too early last week.

    1. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I guess that early spurs goal is bad for kane and son owners..
      Hope wolves score one or two soon....

  6. Redranger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Meslier worth the extra .1 over Johnstone for the DGW?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t think so, quite like wba fixtures with big sam at the wheel

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    4. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

    5. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Could go either way, Johnstone gets more save points.

      1. Redranger
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        They’ll be rotting on my bench more weeks than not so think I’d be more comfortable with Johnstone.

    6. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No for me. Chose Johnstone over Meslier on my WC this GW.

  7. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How's my WC looking? 0.5 left ITB and am planning to FH in GW17 and Kane > Vardy in DGW18

    McCarthy - Johnstone
    Trent - Balbuena - Taylor - Dallas - Justin
    Salah - Bruno - Son - Soucek - Rafinha
    Kane - Bamford - Adams

  8. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    We’re all idiots. Should just perma captain Bruno

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

      Don't think so. We're all looking for the highest ceiling with the lowest risk. Salah fitted the equation this week. Mind you, when I look at the Salah performance v Bruno yesterday, I have no doubt which player is more committed. But that's only based on 1 gw unfortunately

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Start James or cresswell? Unfortunately already own Mendy the moron

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tongy blanks Kane?

  11. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best cheaper defenders on WC ? Atm on Coufal, Taylor and Dallas.

    9.5 to spent

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

      Justin Balbuena

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

        have Justin from 4.5 but think it's time for move on. Balbuena is good pick. Cheers

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

      Holding/KWP/Stones

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

        Two of them doesnt have DGW...

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

          So what? They don’t need to be?

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

            you re right, but Arsenal defence ? no thx, and City has Everton and Chelsea away in next 2 and Stones is rotation risk.

          2. mrelpea
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I couldnt agree more. Dier is a good example of a player who looks good med/long term but doesn’t play twice in DGW. That said out of those three, I’d pick KWP any day

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

          Oh you needed DGW player, probably Lindelof and Justin the other 2.

  12. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Suggestions-

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

    2 FT 0.0ITB

  13. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Matip look like he's out long enough that Rhys becaomes a cheap playing option for a bit?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Might be rotated with Nat Philips

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

      Definitely

      Buy him

      But him now

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Still worth getting Robbo I take it?

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

      Only if you want attacking returns, clean sheets unlikely.

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

      That defence was priced to have VVD playing all season

      Make of that what ya will

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I almost included Robbo in a transfer deal earlier today. Now I'm rethinking seriously.

  15. Pitch Perfect
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Little help?
    DCL + Grealish + Lamptey to...

    A) Kane + Lookman (5.0) + Alioski (4.4)
    B) Kane + Højbjerg (4.9) + Taylor (4.5)
    C) Kane + Raphinha (5.4) + 3.9
    D) Settle for only owning Kane in FH18.

    Exact money.

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

      I'm considering somethign similar, have 4.0 ITB so can do Grealish/DCL to Son/Kane... is this sensible though? Are spurs good enough, and their upcoming fixtures soft enough, to compensate for their lack of double in GW19 [and to be fair also the nasty surprise of liverpool in GW20?

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      C for me. If you're bench boosting 19, consider Kane + 3.9 to Vardy + a DGW defender.

  16. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tanguy doesnt pass it to their best player. Pathetic.

  17. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is Balbuena worth getting over Coufal to save 0.3?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      For what?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        To save 0.3. I'm on my WC

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Aurier? Or Cancelo a better pick?

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

      Aurier always a worry

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

      I'm a Spurs fan and former owner of Cancelo. Cancelo is the better pick and it isn't a close one for me.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Forget Aurier

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cancelo

    5. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier an accident waiting to happen

    6. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I did Chilwell to Dier this week. Thought about the fullbacks, but went for starting safety.

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Cancelo

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

      *oops response to Atimis

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Thnaks mate!

  20. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    1-1 with another nothing goal from Neves or Moutinho would be prefect.

  21. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Great start to the GW and today it's fizzled out with Salah(c), Taylor, Coufal and one bright spot Bamford.

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Apologies if this has already been asked, but can we use the second wildcard the week before the blank? I'd like to free hit for the blanks but I need to sort out my team first

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

      Yeah you can.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      After the deadline tomorrow.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Using the 2nd WC that early though? Ouch

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        My team is a steaming pile of poop and this is probably the biggest double gameweek we're going to get this season

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

          In that case then if you feel it’s needed go for it bud!

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    5. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What do you do for the blank week then if you're prepping for the DGW?

  23. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ndombèlé is really good

    1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed

  24. Mr. Mystic
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Lamptey -> James or Justin?

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

      James.

    2. Mr. Mystic
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Or Cancelo/Dias?

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

      Justin

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

      Justin- better short term fixtures

    5. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't pick James. Will be rested occasionally and possibly needs surgery. Chelsea not looking solid, either. I'm going for Dallas but would also consider Dier if budget permits.

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

      the threat of Pereira is hanging pretty badly over Justin.

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

        Do you think Brendan Rodgers would bench Justin given form he has shown? Think he would need a couple of poor games to lose place

  25. JelliedSpark968
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Son or Bruno for next week?

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What a ball. Lol.

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ndombele has been brilliant so far

  28. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    classic traore 😆

  29. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Not an fpl asset, but what a player Ndombele is

  30. JelliedSpark968
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Think people were too quick to judge Ndombele, myself included. He's clearly got talent, just had to adapt to the Prem
