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).

    Son G possible Kane assist…

    Was thinking of doing Mitrovic and Darwin to Kane and Mbuemo with my 2 FT next GW, then went off the idea and thought I could do without Kane but it’s now more appealing again - good moves?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude

      I like the Mbuemo pick, I'm thinking about him myself. If I could afford Kane, I would, even with the less than favourable fixtures.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years

      Think it's only the second game he's scored in all season

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

    That’s a kane assist I would say

  6. KAPO KANE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Yes Kane assist that is

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

    Looks like a Kane assist to me

  8. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    Of course it’s a Kane assist.

  9. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

  10. JBG
    • 6 Years

    Lol even Son is scoring.

  11. Flying Dutchman
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Can’t believe how bad Palace is

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

    I’ll take the assist here, cmon Kane score 4 more they’re in shambles

  13. Feanor
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I knew I should have captained Kane...

    Never considered it for a second in reality.

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

      I did but chickened out, livid

      1. Rojo's Modern Life
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Don't be so hard on yourself. Plenty of better options on paper

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Me neither. Which is wierd given he's returned in nearly every game

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      No regrets. Impossible to captain anyone else if Haaland is playing.

  14. THFC4LIFE

    Kane owners feasting

  15. Bobby Digital

    Should be Kane assist... Intended target and all thay

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      *that

    2. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Agreed

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

      Hard to see why it wouldn’t be an assist

  16. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Doherty and Kane saving my week

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

      Massive haul

  17. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years

    Forest CS, by the way

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Whoop we move up

  18. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    cant be an assist. if it is then kulu should get his one back

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

    More goals in this for spurs if they want it

  20. x.jim.x
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Know you’ve been crap when Son scores.

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

    Kane can’t get an assist for that with Kulu losing his assist

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

      Two separate deflections off the defender before the goal

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

        Defender made a mess of it but intended target was son so should be a Kane assist

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Completely different scenario. Kane was aiming for Son and there was no deflection

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

        Haha what? There was no deflection?

        At least Kulusevski was drilling a cross low and hard across the box. Kane hit a hopeful lob in the air which then the defender jumps for and it bounces off his back and then takes a second deflection off the defender blocking the shot.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Since when do deflections after the shot matter, unless it goes down as an OG? Berk.

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

            What does berk mean?

            1. Sam (Team Sam)
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              1 year, 5 months ago

              It's Cockney rhyming slang.

              Short for Berkshire Hunt

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

                Oh right? That’s nice isn’t it. Sensitive soul must be twelve years old.

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

            Just highlighting the fact that there were two deflections after Kanes pass

        2. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          The minor bounce off the back of the defender didnt prevent Son losing the ball. The fact that Son's shot was then deflected in off the defender is completely irrelevant. Still a Son goal and Kane assist.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      How are they even comparable

  22. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Halaand blank tomorrow would be nice.

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

      I pray for it, but fully expecting 2 goals

  23. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane will get the hat trick won’t he

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Would be lovely. Along with Haaland tomorrow

  24. banskt
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    No assist given for Kane yet. Could change shortly.

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

    No assist for Kane atm

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

    If it's Kane it'll be given even if dubious let's be honest

    1. Feanor
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      It was a pass worthy of an assist. The deflection off the defender didn't change its intended target

      "An assist can be awarded for a pass or cross, even if an opponent gets a touch before the goal is scored. However, that touch must not significantly alter the intended destination of the ball."

      Different things... Doherty was not the intended target whereas Son was.
