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.

    Wish Mou keep gung-ho style from start of season,you cant play on 1-0 with that defense.

    Anyone considering going Spurless next week? A risk with their double but would allow me to get KDB or Sterling in for Grealish, providing he is injured and have a frontline of Bamford, Watkins and DCL. Everton's double is also great and they may have another in 28 which offsets not having a game in 29 a little, and I'll have transfers before then anyway

    1. Neevesy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling ruined my week last week so proceed with caution.

    2. PogChamp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not leaving Kane out even if he blanks today

    3. RamaJama

      Many just getting in Son. Will be hard for this Spurs team to score on Burnley

      1. joey
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        My thoughts. I had always pencilled in Kane for this and actually took Son out this week but not sure I see them running that rampant. Means a big upgrade elsewhere and a chance DCL matches or beats Kane in the double anyway with Southampton and West Brom.

  3. denial

    My WC draft currently includes kane and Son. I'm asking for more trouble really.

  4. seewhyaxe

    Sold Antonio for Kane.

    Kane’s gonna blank right

    1. Boomerang V
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. I knew this was coming

    2. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same

  5. The Senate
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    feeling scared as a Coufal non-owner

  6. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 7 months ago

    Why we all piling on Spurs again? They're in pretty horrific form. The Mourinho toxicity has set in.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Horrific or not if this ends 1-1 with Kane goal son assist it's good enough

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs will score

    3. joey
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I don't know why anyone would hire Mourinho any more. You know exactly what you're getting and I don't think this slump surprises anyone.

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs all over the place.

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio > Ings for a hit going well so far!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same here, big regrets

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed. Curious decision with the benefit of hindsight

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Not really.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Although I may have ended up benching Antonio if I kept him as would have had to bench one of DCL, Gundo or Antonio anyways.

      3. joey
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Don't think so. Antonio a doubt, Ings playing twice with one of the against Leeds and another double soon, possibility of two doubles as they weren't confirmed pre deadline. Could even still pay off now.

  9. Neevesy
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    This season is hilarious. Every single week the decisions I've made have backfired. I'm currently the lowest rank I've ever been, and last week I sold Antonio for Ings.

    Oh and I captained Sterling over Gundo last week.

    This week I also played TAA over Digne. Digne is my highest points scorer and is 2nd on the bench.

    Feel like every single plan has backfired.

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      For GW 24 I took out Gundo and brought inn Sterling (C). thet was a -35p swing just on that transfer. You at least had Gundo and Sterling.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Selling antonio for ings not the worst decision as he has a dgw and another one in gw27

      Captaining sterling over gundo is questionable. I have the same pair n i cap gundo. Reason: having sterling itself is a differential on its own so i play safe with gundo(c)

      Benching digne is definitely not the best decision regardless of the result as he has 8 assists this campaign? And pool has injury issues

      1. Neevesy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Liverpool at home, surely you play TAA over Digne?

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          U shld really play both. Thats wad i always do. U might have bench points sometimes but if u keep the same strategy consistent..luck will even out across the season

    3. Red dev
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I know mate its painful. I did antonio to ings too for -4. Seemed like the right decision at the time

    4. TAArt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Players I took out on my wildcard - Pope, Tarkowski, Digne, Antonio

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I sold Antonio for Kane. Sigh

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Still a gd decision if u are not wildcarding this week

  10. Red dev
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    So typical. If he wasnt yellow flagged would have kept Antonio. How about a heads up before the deadline Moyes ha ha

  11. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Great run from Lamela would have been one of the assists of the season

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Agree. But considering his fixture in gw 27 as well as having a fixture in gw29 it is justifable

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Looking like Spurs will score at least

    1. AC/DC AFC

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I just thought on that Kane chance he couldn't resist.

        Is Kaptain Kane actually a Liverpool fan?

  16. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Oh my prediction was 1-2 Antonio Son 2x, so it's still on 😛

  17. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sold Pope , Lowton, Antonio, Creswell and Coufal ... Lol

          • 12 Years

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Dallas will stop the hattrick of Ings, that's what I said 😛

          1. DycheDycheBaby
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

    1. BeWater
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A lot of people in the same boat this week. Was the right decision and might still pay off. I did the same.

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      On the same boat.

  28. Niho992
