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).

    Leeds assist?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years

      Sommerville

      1. The Bandit

        Lovely 😎

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Summerville

  2. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I swear this season we could have a really competitive team with 80m.

    Kepa
    White Shaw Trippier
    Saka Martinelli Almiron Summerville Rashford
    Haaland Wilson

    Everyone is just underpriced/expensive players are severely underperforming.

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Seems that there's a fairly standard template this year tbh.

      Need one of the big boys to step up and make the Erling permacap questionable.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Save even more by going with Odegaard over Saka

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Soon Mitoma will join the 'cut price' team

  3. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I can't believe some people actually bought Digne

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yup, a leopard never changes its spots.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I fell for it. If United double I'm just gonna take the hit and go back to Shaw and join the masses. Cut my losses early.

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Digne will haul whatever week you sell him.

        This is the way.

  4. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Patterson to Mee for free?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Botman?

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Have Pope Trippier Almiron

      2. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He would be 4th Def in 3 4 3

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yea Mee could work. Good fixtures.

          1. FCHaalandaise
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Make the obvious move. Schar (if affordable) or Botman

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not obvious though is it.

        At least now for you

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Here's a list of players I'll consider before Mee: Trippier Schar Botman Akanji Stones Arsenal Shaw

          1. Fitzy.
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Trippier? There's a left field pick...

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              😀

              Just giving a priority list so it'd be clear

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            But yes, Mee after those and before Estupinan and Cucurella

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would go Botman. Everyone owns Trippier so the only way to make gains is to double up

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Welcome to the "That question wasn't clear enough" club 🙂

    4. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I swapped him for Botman.

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Do something Kane!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I just give up at this stage, almost every player is useless

  6. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    who was the wolves player a bunch of people had at the start of the season? has he scored yet?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neto

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ait Nouri?

    3. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neto. He’s dropped 0.6mill since the start of the season. Yikes.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neto, he’s been dead since gw9, although might as well have been before that

    5. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neto - absolutely ruined me for a while.

  7. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Hey, any Manchester United fans know what the deal is with Malacia and how likely he is to start moving forward? He had a nice run of games before getting benched this GW

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw is starting LB and will be so until he needs a rest.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw is the main man, gonna be plenty of competitions. Shaw will be rested at some point.

    3. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I thought he played well but don’t think he’ll start unless injury. But what do I know I’m not the manager.

  8. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kane on suspension tightrope with 4 YC. Please football gods, Mitrovic did enough damage

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Better he gets booked tonight so you can sell or not buy. Otherwise he could go the same way as Mitro, missing the DGW by getting booked the first one

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mitro isn’t suspended for the next game week though.

  9. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son needs to scrap the mask

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He did during the last game. He was still crap

    2. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    3. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

  10. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Last game week I played Pereira vs Soton for his 5 points over Odegaard vs Brighton for his 13 points.

    For this week I thought it would be smart to play Mings over Trippier.

    I really do create my own problems.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t listen to the voices

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        But we're helpful... Trust us...

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is that what people called here 'overthinking'?

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I think overthinking was Mitro (C) this week (Yes I did that too). If I believed FFS I thought he would be like over 50% capataincy, was very surprised to find it was actually less than 10%

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Mitrovic scored

  11. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Andreas to Garnacho (benched) to fund Darwin to Kane?

    Or better to lose Cancelo (obviously depending on how he does this week)?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would think twice to sacrifice anybody for Kane at this stage

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Tonight's result confirms he's needed!

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Any chance you can stretch the extra 0.1 to go up to 4.3 for a midfielder and pick up Somerville at Leeds ?

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I can. Great call!

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You might get more points from just Darwin to Ferguson

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      pls watch the spurs game & really think if u want kane

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Watching now. Have you changed your mind? Lol.

  12. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha split Spurs wide open. Lloris saved the assist

  13. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Paqueta equalizer.

  14. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Looking forward to Kanes obligatory goal/9 points..we all know its coming

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      only if he gets a penalty.. that too he could sky it again

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        And again...

    2. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      And there we have it....

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Paqueta on pens. Interesting. He could yet be a factor if Moyes is dumped/WHU have a change in form.

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

      Don't worry, he'll miss his second or third one and they'll change the taker agaij

  16. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    my God. Kane & Spurs just stink.. they look terrible.
    Think the Kane missed penalty vs France has ruined him & Spurs this season

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t like Conte’s body language - don’t expect him to be there for much longer.

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    All Palace

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yea Spurs poor atm

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ally Pally

      180!

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs are unbelievable boring to watch. Conte ball at Ute finest

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      At its**

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      they dont even have the ball.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha! Just how Conte likes it. Counter attack merchant

  19. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If the ref played the advantage to West Ham, they missed.. how can it be brought back for a penalty?

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

      It wasn’t playing advantage, he said it wasn’t a foul and was advised to take another look because it was.

  20. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Love a Paqueta penalty

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sons almost championship quality

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Proud dad

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just seen a stat. His worse run of form in 5 years.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      United will take him off Spurs books no problem 😉

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No thanks. Rashford >>>

    4. teknicolourfox
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Move to arsenal please Sonny boy.

      Son is the only bit of class in that Spurs team.

  22. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Assuming the City DGW goes ahead in 20, are people planning on TC Haaland?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No there will be better doubles later in the season

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I am.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I agree. Done.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Under consideration for sure. Haaland's hatred of Utd and Spurs poor defence of late are factors.

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Has he said he hates them? Just a narrative relating to his dad.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Ah yes! That's it

          2. circusmonkey
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            You could feature in f365 mediawatch: most looking forward to playing against = hate.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Said something spicy (not scandalous, just spicy) in a presser before that game where he exploded against them, IIRC

          Haaland keys into the spirit of a match and fuels himself with the pressure, so it makes sense that he's heavily involved in the derby spirit while playing for a team his dad once played for

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A lot of arguments for it. 5 days between the two games and no European duties to be concerned about rotation. Spurs should be handy for them on current form and while United have tightened there will still be goals in that game. Holding it for him later in the season may allow for better fixtures but may also have less rest and CL to worry about.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Good points

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes given no Champions League around games so rotation unlikely. Later in season there may be.

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Starting to think if Haaland comes out of that gameweek with just even 2 goals scored it will be classed as a disappointment

  23. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Skipp looking for a red

  24. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    spurs are genuinely awful. Have nothing going forward. Dont have a single player who can dribble or take on a defender 1 v1

    1. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They've got lots of injuries but yes looking bad

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bluddy toothless. What a waste of money having Kane.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        as is salah. as is kdb

  25. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs terrible.

    TC Haaland looking more plausible, been in two minds so far.

    Kane owners should feel dirty if he gets a goal and bonus points in this game.

    Can do Darwin to Kane with my FT….but Spurs look awfull.

      Agree- would rather persist with Darwin as you just know week you sell him he will find his range!

      This is me. Quite at a loss of what to do next week. At this rate Spurs will struggle against Portsmouth on Saturday and will probably scrape a draw leaving us with no DGW, would probably be a blessing
