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).

    It should be fine, Son was the intended target and the touch off the defender didn’t significantly change the path of the ball, it still kept going forward.

    Assist will be given 🙂

        For some reason my smily emoji didn't work

    7. dansully3

      It hasn't yet

    8. bso

      Where? Don't see it.

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

      Not yet.

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

      So inconsistent

    11. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      He's right, they've given it. I'm sure there was a 2nd defender touch before Son scored.

  3. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Doherty nailed on for double?

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

      Can’t see why not

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

      Emerson not lurking?

  4. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I own Kane and that should not be an assist IMO.

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Why not? Intended target - check. No significant deviation - check.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        There was a significant deviation. If the defender hadn't touched it, the ball would have travelled forward rather than coming back to Son.

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Not. Sure. If. Serious.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Defender didn't fully intercept the pass to Kane's intended target.

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Oh god, give me patience for idiots like this one

    4. dansully3
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I do too and it definitely should be an assist.

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

      Assist given

    6. snow pea in repose
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      The goal was a deflection, I'd say no assist...

    7. Kevin and Perry go
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Periscope submarine.

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

    Will 3 Spurs be enough for the DGW?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      One will be enough.

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

      I'd bring in 5 on this form...

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

        And by form, I obviously only mean the 32 minutes of this second half

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

      I know you like a bit of fishing but you took that too far.

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

    LOL finally sold Son in Draft this week (for Rodrigo... mind)

  7. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    One gameweek too soon.

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

    Game is joke at this point. Robbed of a Kulu assist last week. But Salah got his for an OG and Kane now with an assist no different to Kulu. Give up

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

      It hasn’t been given has it?

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

      What are you on about. Firstly the assist hasnt been given. Secondly the Kulu one was a completely different scenario. He wasnt aiming for the goalscorer. Kane clearly was with the ball over the top to Son. Its a clear assist.

  9. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Dont want to check live rank. Probably 26k to 100k OR?

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

      I was in top 1.5k last night but knew the rest of the gw wouldn’t be pretty!

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

    Tottenham keeping a CS despite their dier defending

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

    Bryan Gil was very good today. Big difference to him coming on late to chase shadows as per usual

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

      He needs to put on some muscle

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

    Son assist added, just awaiting Kane’s now

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

      Its happening!!!

    2. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Yeah got to be now that Son has been given that

  13. JBG
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Lol Kane got it... worst possible outcome for my rank tonight.

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    They added son, surely Kane gets his

  15. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Conte must have ripped into them at HT!

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

      He said he would go if they got 4

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Surely. Had them out early for the second half. Why they don't get so fired up for first half's is still a wonder.

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

    Read the rules FFS

    "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."

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

      According to that Son should not get an assist and Kane should.

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

      So it’s an assist then ?

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

      Son was not aiming for Doc while Kane was aiming for Son.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Who was Son aiming for?

    4. dansully3
      • 7 Years

      So what you're saying so is.....

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

      Same, but I set up my bus team on Saturday and totally forgot the deadline with how quick the turnaround was

  23. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Mings the merciless to Ings. That’s made that White benching a bit better

    2. _Ninja_

  26. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years

    Spurs 4-0 up despite being sh**e for most of the game.

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

    Another good Lloris save

    I still don't trust Spurs defence

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

      Doherty for 4.6m could be value if he strings a few starts together...

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

    Kane is going to get a YC next match isn't he

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

      Unlike Mitro he has a brain

  29. GE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Kane -> Mitro instead of Darwin -> Mitro will hunt me 🙁

  30. Bartowski
    • 13 Years

    Still think this is the only top 4 Spurs are getting this season.

    1. dansully3
      • 7 Years

      Weak. Jog on.

      1. Bartowski

        Found the Spurs fan.
