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).

    A guide to this season in FPL:

    1. Perma cap Erling

    That FPL focal kid had Kane as an avoid after WC. These content creators man... lolllllll

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

      Scores in nearly every game .. avoid

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

      Probably due to the upcoming fixtures ARS MCI MCI and they haven't looked promising.

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

        You do know Kane loves fixtures against them 2 right? And it's wedged in between London derbies which he holds the record. Awful analysis from fpl focal

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Avoid if you have no money. But if you had team value, you can go for a consistent PL scorer over Darwin Nunez 😛

  7. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Salah to Rodrigo anyone?

    Then invest the spare 6m into a stocks and shares ISA

      • 1 Year

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        They were probably the better team in the first half

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    They’ve given Kane far too much space during this game

  21. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    This is just like last season. Spurs explode in one game and ruined my season.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Need a Davies cameo of my rival gets Bueno points.

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

    I asked about Doc on WC WC and everybody said don't even think about it. Only shame now is that I don't have him so I cannot brag about it now 😀 Walker has a lot to do tomorrow.

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

    No assist

  24. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Having Kane is imperative. 20+ goals a season for 9 years.
