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
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling ruined my week last week so proceed with caution.

    2. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. joey
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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
    • 9 Years

    Sold Antonio for Kane.

    Kane’s gonna blank right

    1. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. I knew this was coming

    2. Babit1967

      Same

  5. The Senate

    feeling scared as a Coufal non-owner

    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, 1 month ago

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

      • Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs will score

      • joey
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs all over the place.

    3. Revival

      Antonio > Ings for a hit going well so far!

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

        Same here, big regrets

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. Curious decision with the benefit of hindsight

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

          Not really.

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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.

    4. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Liverpool at home, surely you play TAA over Digne?

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

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

      5. Groot the Leveller
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I sold Antonio for Kane. Sigh

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

          Still a gd decision if u are not wildcarding this week

    5. Red dev
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

    6. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Torres76
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looking like Spurs will score at least

            5 years, 1 month ago

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

            Is Kaptain Kane actually a Liverpool fan?

      • Magic Zico

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

      • Fudgy
        • 6 Years

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