HARRY KANE
Tottenham Hotspur’s unexpected elimination from the FA Cup means that Antonio Conte’s side can not only offer us players who ‘double’ in Gameweek 29 but also assets who are unaffected by the blanks in Gameweek 30.
For those looking further ahead, Spurs will also have another Double Gameweek to come between now and the end of the season.

ARMANDO BROJA / CHE ADAMS
Southampton’s FA Cup victory over West Ham United earlier this week means that they now face a blank in Gameweek 30, although the immediate fixtures remain good, as they face four bottom-half sides in quick succession.
The long-term schedule is also decent, with some favourable fixtures running through till Gameweek 36.
Che Adams (£7.0m) has produced attacking returns in each of his last four matches, averaging 4.7 points per start this season.
He has certainly overshadowed his attacking colleague Armando Broja (£5.5m) of late, but it is worth noting that the Chelsea loanee has narrowly outshot Adams over the same period by 13-12.
However, the better chances have fallen to the Scottish international, who has racked up four big chances in that time:
