Wednesday team news: No Kulusevski but starts for Bueno and Bailey

Four more Double Gameweek 19 matches take place on Wednesday evening, split over GMT kick-off times of 19:30, 19:45 and 20:00.

Harry Kane (£11.6m) is the only significantly-owned player taking part tonight and it’s no surprise to see him start for Spurs. Eric Dier (£5.2m) is one of two changes, with Oliver Skipp (£4.3m) replacing the suspended Yves Bissouma (£4.7m).

That means Dejan Kulusevski (£7.9m) is still missing with a muscle injury. As for Crystal Palace, it’s the same XI that beat Bournemouth 2-0.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest are also unchanged, meaning that Dean Henderson (£4.7m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£5.5m) start but Neco Williams (£4.0m) has to settle for a bench role.

It’s a huge bottom-of-the-table clash for them and hosts Southampton, who have lost five successive matches. Three changes see Romain Perraud (£4.3m) get back into Nathan Jones’ starting XI, as do Romeo Lavia (£4.5m) and Sekou Mara (£5.3m).

At Elland Road, Leeds United make two alterations to the team which picked up a goalless draw at Newcastle United. Budget midfielder Crysencio Summerville (£4.3m) replaces Jack Harrison (£5.8m), with Marc Roca (£4.8m) in for Adam Forshaw (£4.4m).

Visitors West Ham United begin the night in 17th place and have made four changes from the poor home defeat to Brentford. Aaron Cresswell (£4.8m) and Said Benrahma (£5.6m) have to make do with a drop to the bench.

Meanwhile, World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez (£4.9m) makes his return to Aston Villa’s goal, despite the clean sheet of Robin Olsen (£3.9m). Poland’s Matty Cash (£4.6m) also enters proceedings, whilst it’s another start up front for Leon Bailey (£4.5m).

New Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Matheus Cunha (£5.5m) has arrived from Atletico Madrid but will only feature as a substitute tonight. It’s an unchanged team from Gameweek 18, meaning another start for Hugo Bueno (£3.9m).

  15. Dry Lunch
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane TC DGW ???

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Have you checked the fixtures

      1. Dry Lunch
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        My bad

      2. Sharkytect

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Different arsenal now. Always capable of scoring but fixtures are tough

  16. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane man, what a player.

  17. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Rodrigo equalizer.

  18. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Harrison assist.

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Why is it always the player you want to get explodes the week before you get him, haha.

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Premature ejaculation

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I got rid for mitrovic . Another shocking decision.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't call Darwin's 1 point an explosion

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      The worst part is this will drive him to rise before we know if the double is even on

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Yes, exactly. I have a 0.3m leeway but one Darwin/Kane drop/rise and its down to 0.1m. Exactly that will happen, fairly soon I'd imagine.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          I had money itb for him for the last few weeks but Nunez's drop has left me short. I don't mind taking a hit (already planning it tbh) but still shortens my options

    5. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      At least you know its never too late to catch Kane wagon, he'll continue to deliver consistently regardless of opposition difficulty

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Indeed. Just glad I can do it for free. Been trying to chuck him in at a convenient point for a while as constantly doing me over haha!

        Luckily I've looked though my league and almost everyone can't get him in for free, so minor advantage there - providing he does well sooner rather than later.

        1. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Yeah, he is actually in a awkward position this year due to his high price but low "captainability" (fault of Haaland ofc), so maybe thats what puts people off of him. I didnt have him for first 16 gameweeks and he was my first name after restart, just ultimate set and forget.
          Welcome on the board mate 🙂

  20. RICICLE
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Rodrigo starting the wagon up

  21. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    A wild Spurs CS appears!

    1. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Indeed! I however need it wiped haha

  22. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane what are you doing!

  23. Ribus
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Darwin -> Kane. Easy.

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Bueno ticking along nicely for 3.9m!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      My 1st sub so if Cancelo doesn’t come in I’m ok

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Patto was the wrong call for sure

  25. Red Star Toro
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane is such a differential for me, I’m top10k right now but in mini leagues around me pretty much no one has him - but I went without Mitro this week. Get in.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Well played. There’s a fairly even split between Kane salah and KDB as second big hitter in top 10k

  26. fantasist
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Getting rid of Zaha turned out to be the right move. Nothing in 3 games.

  27. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I mean that's 15 in 18 for Kane - I'm sure if it wasn't for a certai. Norwegian cyborg a lot more would be being made about that, especially scoring them for this Spurs team

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      He’s been so consistent. I think in fpl terms he’s not hit any monster scores (so far!) so has gone slightly under the radar

  28. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Shaft on for Palace

  29. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years

    Considering Salah to kdb and nunez to kane for -4 giving me 4 doublers
