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

1,127 Comments

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.

        This is what I have, though who knows if it even is the best thing.

        Left enough ITB to do Barnes > Son in case I wanted. Though, Salah > Son somewhat tempting too.

      Give it a few days and it will probably be a clearer decision. I could have got Kane or Vardy in this week but went Ings so I could see them both play one more game.

    Spurs are pretty poor at the moment (from a Spurs fan) and Burnley and Fulham especially, have tightened up at the back.

    I personally wont be bringing in Kane and will probably TC DCL or Richarlison against Saints and WBA.

      I agree with DCL as captain candidate and as of this minute, my pick is on him but could change my mind if Kane scores today

        Kane can always score, regardless of how poor spurs play.. thats the thing with him.

          That is true however, Son is out of form and I suspect we need Bale to start both games if Kane is to return big enough to warrant the TC. It appears we have no plans when we attack, it's give the ball to Kane and see what he does, he whipped in plenty of crosses today with no runners attacking the 6 yard box

          Saints are lacking in confidence and I feel will struggle against an all out attack of DCL, Rodriguez and Richarlison (with Digne) and WBA are awful.
