Antonio starts for West Ham as Reguilón returns to Spurs line-up

Michail Antonio (£6.6m) returns to the West Ham line-up as they host Spurs in Double Gameweek 25.

The forward missed the most recent Premier League outing, a 3-0 win over Sheffield United, with fatigue but is looks to be back to full fitness.

Antonio leads the line in today’s London derby with Jesse Lingard (£5.9m), Pablo Fornals (£5.9m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.0m) in attacking midfield.

With Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) and Declan Rice (£4.7m) in defensive midfield, the only other notable piece of team news is a second successive start at centre-back for Issa Diop (£4.3m).

He continues to fill in with Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m) recently sustaining an ankle injury.

There will be plenty of attention on the Spurs team today too.

Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) will both be under the Fantasy microscope for those considering how to set their teams up for Double Gameweek 26.

Spurs face Burnley (home) and Fulham (away) in the next round, offering one of the kindest Double Gameweek schedules.

Elsewhere, Japhet Tanganga (£4.9m) retains his right-back berth and there is a surprise return at left-back for Sergio Reguilón (£5.5m).

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Dawson, Coufal; Rice, Soucek; Lingard, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Reguilon, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga; Højbjerg, Ndombele; Son, Lamela, Moura; Kane.

    Sold Richarlison, benched Pope and Antonio. One of those weeks

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years

      Same.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Might get Antonio on.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Gundogan the only 1 who might miss it

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

      who did you bench Pope for?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 2 months ago

        Meslier

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          That's unlucky. Pope should have conceded and Meslier was incredibly unlucky to do so.

          Two moments, massive swing

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably Meslier

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If it helps I sold Antonio, Pope and Digne on my WC

  2. Dennis System

    I am not suggesting I knew this but Ings/any Southampton player is a terrible choice surely right now, they are on relegation form. Antonio > Ings is insane.

        Relax, still every chance ings outscores Antonio this week

        I did it for a hit.

        Insane is a bit strong. Can totally understand if Antonio owners transferred him out. Injury prone and fixture swing.
        In fact was more likely to miss this game than to play, let alone score.

        It's a bit early to say that don't you think.

          Ridiculous statement, fixtures turning, injured and Southampton had a double ffs

        Ings has another dgw in 27..look at things over a few weeks.

      • Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        How is transferring out a potentially unfit player with poor fixtures for a player with 3 DGWs insane

      Everyone using their chips or conceding points to get in Kane against two stubborn teams. It’s not like Spurs are smashing teams by 4 or 5 every week. Could end with tears.....

      1. diesel001

        Kane will take lots of shots and is a BAPS man. The two teams they are playing are crap.

      2. 3 A

        Yes. Hope everyone sell Kane now

          Even if spurs lose today 5-0 Kane is coming in and captain

                3 years, 2 months ago

                No I really would, no score today would affect me captaining Kane next week

                              Thanks, but honestly did you see the Josh bull analysis video? Form/fixture fixture wins for good players, but of course form + fixture is best

                              1. Magic Zico
                                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                Don't think any right or wrong way to approach, I want to make sure my decision has no blind spots. Kane is one of those as it requires hits. GL!

                      • @persecuted_by_mods
                          3 years, 2 months ago

                          People can score even off form when facing bad teams, the two teams they're facing aren't the worst but 1 goal Vs Burnley and 1 penalty goal Vs Fulham with Max baps would do me fine

                          1. Magic Zico
                            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                            3 years, 2 months ago

                            I agree mate, but would you pick off form player whilst many others in form? But if that's the way you play I am ok, just curious what's behind people action to fit in Kane that I may have as blind spots.

                            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                                3 years, 2 months ago

                                I trust him to score against Burnley or Fulham, I don't trust spurs to win or not concede and they may blank in one but over two matches I think he gets something. My other choice would be gundo but not sure on his recovery

                                1. Magic Zico
                                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                  3 years, 2 months ago

                                  Ok fair enough, I just won't in my case.

                    If Kane did nothing in this game, I will not even think to bring him in

                      Doing nth in this game will not really affect his next game though. Sometimes u buy for fixture and class..as well for cover. Just not tc-ing

                        3 years, 2 months ago

                        I don't buy that reasoning. Form is one of the key indicators.

                    I'm getting him in for a hit and going TC, like the fixtures and Kane won't play Europa league midweek so will be rested. Yes Spurs aren't trashing anybody but Kane will get a goal or 2 over those games.

                        Did you watch the game yesterday? How Burnley did not conced 2 or 3 is beyond me.

                    I have already ripped the TC armband of Kane. He’s lucky to be starting in my first XI this week

                      Burnley Spurs won't have many goals.

                  Chances of Cancelo, Stones, Gundo or Grealish being benched?

                  Have Tarko and Antonio....

                    I think you'll get at least 1 of those on. Maybe both.

                    Probably a decent chance if Grealish rumors are to be believed + Pep roulette could easily see one if the City guys benched too.

                    Everyone needs Salah, Fernandes, Kane, Son. Especially when you have cheap options like Martinez, Stones, Dallas, Bamford, Gundogan so you can spend on big hitters.

                  3. Revival
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Going without Salah, got Sterling instead for 2 great looking fixtures ( Pep roulette aside )

                  4. TomSaints
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    It’s been liberating not having the troll Salah for most of this season.

                    Makes the game more interesting. Depending on how this game plays out, I think I’ll punt on Aguero in the double over Kane.

                    Harry Kane had 7 touches so far.

                    I've got Lowton & Holgate with Gundo & Martinez still to go.

                    Could have been the week to play BB 🙁

                          I doubt anyone captained him so his EO is probably just the amount that own him in top 10k

                      I turned on and thought, I bet Antonio scores.

                      At least I didn’t move him to Ings for a hit

                          The Leeds game is why we made the transfer. Plus West Ham do have a bad run

                        How about :
                        GW26 : BB
                        GW30 : WC
                        GW33 or last day : FH

                        TC can go to Kane / Bruno / Salah when they got a later double with friendly fixtures

                      Sold double Burnley defence, Richarlison and Antonio on WC to get triple Leeds, Ings, Son and Kane. Nice

                        It's how the cookie crumbles. We all laugh, but the moves kinda made sense from the next 5 weeks or so.

                        Only Everton that was 50/50 due to fixture. West Ham form was good of course, but on the back of attacking blanks so hey.

                        As long as next week pays off, is what it is.

                          Yeah I’m not fussed because I would’ve benched them anyway if I didn’t WC.

                            I'd have had Digne 3rd on bench.

                            Would have started Pope/Tarkowski, likely, though.

                            Not sure if I would have sold Antonio or Cavani for Ings.

                      Not many of us will be hollowing out our teams to get Kane in on this evidence

                        In fairness, I think people are forgetting how good West Ham currently are.

                        Coufal vs. Son is a tough match up. Big, tall, stong CBs and/or Soucek/Rice vs. Kane, not easy either. Fab is a good keeper too.

                        Kane's good record against WHU, they got some doubles and also play in 29, also he has brilliant stats and pen taker, i think Kane's a great pick

                          There's no way that ball looked out (Lingard along the touchline) when the linesman flagged!!!!

                          He needs a run of games and he’s looked decent last few games he’s played

                          A really good piece of skill v city and shot. Goal and assist last game

                          He is quality but he needs games

                      A top 4 chasing side with a decent striker. I’d not sell a United player so why did I sell Antonio?

                        Not believing in WHU has cost me this season, Soucek and Cresswell hurting me every week it feels like

                        Hamstrings made of cheesestring, and a few blanks. Tough fixture & no double in 26.

                        Leeds game could be fun for him, as may 29... but short term optimism.

                        If he never had fitness issues, I'm not sure I'd ever sell him.

                        They are so well organised. No space in behind. Honestly cant see spurs scoring.

                        Moyes was a pain about him to be fair. He kept being vague about his availability like he was before when he ended up being out for months. I sold him as well. At least I have someone with a double now but my changes on WC have been awful

                          The transfer to Ings made sense, but it’s the third time I’ve sold a West Ham player then regretted it for a couple weeks.

                            I'll likely get him back right after the DGW, we'll just have to accept it I guess!

                      Spurs putting me off the double up here, what do we think?

                      A) Rash > Son (have Kane)
                      B) Rash + Bamford > DCL + Barnes -4
