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
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same.

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

      Might get Antonio on.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Gundogan the only 1 who might miss it

    3. Captain_Shirokov
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      who did you bench Pope for?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Meslier

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 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
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Probably Meslier

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

  2. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    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.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Relax, still every chance ings outscores Antonio this week

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

      I did it for a hit.

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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.

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

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

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

    6. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

    7. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Agree,lots of casuals here

    8. Danno - Emre Canada

    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
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Hope everyone sell Kane now

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        No you won't do that 😛

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

            Why, may I know? Blind faith or fans or any others?

            1. Captain_Shirokov
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              blind faith at this point

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

                Ok fair enough ... love is blind

              2. @persecuted_by_mods

                What do I know, only 800 OR

                  Nice rank

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    5 years, 7 months ago

                    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
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 7 months ago

                      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!

            2. @persecuted_by_mods
              5 years, 7 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
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 7 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
                  5 years, 7 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
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

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

        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

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

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

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

            Its ok then

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years

              😉

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

      True. Waiting to see what happens in this game...

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

      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.

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Bur/ful aren't exactly shipping goals at the minute now are they?

        1. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

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

    7. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Burnley Spurs won't have many goals.

  5. Atimis
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

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

    Have Tarko and Antonio....

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

  6. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    any news on Grealish?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      There will be in 40 minutes.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        very true, genius lol

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

    Liverpool and Spurs on a serious poor run of form. Anyone going without Salah or Kane or both? Choices, choices..

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      However you go with the others will haul guaranteed

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

        Typical FPL life!

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

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

    4. TomSaints
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 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.

    5. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Harry Kane had 7 touches so far.

  8. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio fst lowton 2nd digne 3rd in the bench

    1. Hazz

      Great BB

    2. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lol.

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

      Could have been the week to play BB 🙁

      1. Baron Penguin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Martinez Cresswell DCL Digne here.

  9. The VAR Team

    What's Antonio's 10k EO?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 months ago

      600%

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      8%

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

    I turned on and thought, I bet Antonio scores.

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

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I moved him for Ings for a hit. You should have stopped me. 🙂

      1. TomSaints
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

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

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

    Got the following chips left

    1. WC
    2. TC
    3. BB
    4. FH

    When are you guys playing yours?

    Thanks

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Before gw38

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

      I also have all 4. BB26 (all DGWers except Bamford and Sanchez)
      FH29
      Wildcard when I feel I need it and I'm hoping for a good DGW to TC Bruno another week.

    3. Nightrain_
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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

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

      Cheers gang. Much appreciated

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          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.

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

      All good moves to be fair. And could still pay off.

    3. Nightrain_
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Most of us did that, let's hope we kill it next week with BB

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Son set...

    V good commentary!

  14. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What would it take for Jose to get the boot do you think? It's so depressing watching spurs, I'd rather Jose goes than alli

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

    That stat that Antonio's 42 PL goals have ALL come from inside the box is incredible

  16. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      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.

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

      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

  17. Stupendous
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Think I will go Vardy over Kane

    Anyone know how we can see who the Linesmen are on matches???
    Their names?

    1. Pukki Blinders

      What are you plotting?

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

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

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I've looked for that. Simon Long is a family friend but it hard to find what match he's officiating at each week.

        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

          Can’t get games if he’s as fit as a retiree

          I'm sure Mourinho has good reasons.

      Works harder. Appalling passing though.

    Any news on Grealish?

      Just wait some time.

      Have a feeling we would’ve heard of it by now if it was real/serious

    Thanks Moyes for making me bench Antonio you absolute clown of a man

      Moyes has your FPL Account login details?

        He forced my hand

    Davinson Sanchez is so bad. Giving away a dangerous free kick against this team.

    Moyes (and Antonio) for England!

    Harry Kane has 7 touches so far

      But we know he’ll get A goal at the end

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

        He’ll just claim someone else’s goal at the very least

    Almost Cresswell assist

    Ben Davis a good shout on a WC ?

      The fact he's not playing should give a clue.

      No Lloris is the only nailed way into the Spurs D

    I still can’t get my head around West Ham being good.

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

    1. Joey Tribbiani

      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

      1. TomSaints
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        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
