The final match of Gameweek 21 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) takes place this evening.

Tottenham Hotspur are the visitors to Fulham’s Craven Cottage, where the action kicks off at 20:15 GMT – that’s 15 minutes later than originally billed, due to “local travel restrictions”.

Perhaps surprisingly after the 4-2 loss to Manchester City, Spurs are unchanged from Thursday night’s game at the Etihad.

That means that Matt Doherty, Ryan Sessegnon and Richarlison have to be content with places among the substitutes once again.

“If I make this decision, it is the best decision for the team. I spoke before the game that Richarlison is recovering in the best form but still not fit, he is very close. The next game he can play from the start.” – Antonio Conte on naming the same XI

There’s only one change for the hosts, as Antonee Robinson returns from suspension and replaces Layvin Kurzawa at left-back.

Harry Kane and Aleksandar Mitrovic are the most-owned players on show tonight, each sitting in over 30% of FPL squads overall. Kane features in 86.6% of the teams in the top 10k, too.

The pair were both on the scoresheet in the reverse fixture back in September, with Kane also delivering maximum bonus for his owners.

Antonio Conte’s side registered 23 shots in that match, with only the heroics of Bernd Leno keeping the score down.

Mitrovic has four goals in his three meetings with big-six sides this season.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson, Palhinha, Reed, Willian, Pereira, De Cordova-Reid, Mitrovic.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Skipp, Sanchez, Richarlison, Sessegnon, Tanganga, Lenglet, Bissouma.

    MitroOoOoOo

    FPL content creators have sold me down the river on Doherty 😡

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same

      Worst transfer I've made this season

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve spent extra 1 million for the safety of Perisic. As of now it is Doherty 1 pt, Perisic 2 pts

      Nothing to brag about

      It is all in on Newcastle defenders or nothing atm

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Blinded by the DGW. Trusted Paul O Keefe on Emerson being sold but it didn’t pay off. Can never trust Spurs

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This is about the 7th time I've been tempted by a spurs wing back since Conte took over. When will I ever learn?

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was it the fixtures that appealled to you or his nailedness?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        All the so called Spurs ITKs were saying Emerson was out in the cold.

    5. MrJobby
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There is literally no value in spurs defenders . Form over fixtures on fpl in my opinion .

    6. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Perhaps easy to say in hindsight but what on earth was the appeal of Doherty??

      The odds of a clean sheet in their double gameweek was close to 0%

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He scored 14 points the week before...

      2. Hey_Arnold
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Possibly the potential of a 14 point haul like he had the other week? Not really his fault that Conte isnt picking him, always a 50/50 shout with Emerson so risky but can be rewarding. He is 4.6m for an attacking FB. He isn't likely to play every week for that price so shouldn't really be a steadfast first team pick.

    7. MrJobby
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No Value in spurs defender at all . Their defence is only just better than Leeds , Forest, Southampton and Leicester

    8. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You listen to content creators?

    9. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never understood the move especially when it was for a hit. CS was very unlikely against arsenal and united. Folks were blinded by the 4-0 against a poor Palace side.

    10. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Then…make your own decisions?

  3. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who else went Doherty over Botman then? 🙁 fools we are

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Botman on 12 pts. Doherty on 1 pt and potential sub appearance

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve got both and got Doherty’s 14 points. He’s there for goal threat not defending. However I think he’s outstayed his welcome now- hoping for an exchange with a fit Dalot

  4. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Go on Perisic and Kulu give me a farewell gift

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Perisic 12 pts surely tonight

      1. MrJobby
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If perisic gets 12 then that will surely be 15 with bp

    2. 20LEGEND
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That'd do me in the cup

  5. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sonnyyyy

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am eyeing him after the doubles

      Surely he’ll come good

      Plan is KDB —> Bruno —> Son

  6. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Let’s go Ream……push me over a hunge! I need it…

  7. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Arise, Sir Kenny Tete!!

  8. MrJobby
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If man United Dgw is confirmed after the Fa Cup games then rashford is a nailed on captain for me

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TC?

      1. MrJobby
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Based on Fixtures and form it could be as good a time as any .

  9. chunk
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hi hope someone can help. My sons desperate to know how bonus is calculated . Does anyone have a link to see how much bps per goal,asist and clean sheet is.

      1. chunk
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you. Happy boy now

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tell son if he’s worrying about bonus he should try putting the ball in the back of the net more

    2. Hey_Arnold
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tell son Trippier will always get it. Even if booked. Possibly even after a red in the first 10 minutes.

  10. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Mitro hat trick each?

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

      0-0 😛

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

      That would do!

    3. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Green arrows for me if so!

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It would nice for both to match Haaland

  11. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Blimey, that triple captain poll is quite close.

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

      Bruno or Rashford is the next question

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        More polls than YouGov. Similar tax arrangements too.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I suspect Haaland hat trick yesterday impacted as many now considering if Haaland in 23 better option.

  12. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is the match delayed?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      8-15

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes due to local travel issues. KO is 8:15

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oh... Thank you

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Perfect, just got home

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If only there was an article explaining everything.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If only the articles were good enough in last few years so I didn't stop reading them.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Pay no heed to wild rover. He's a local grump. His girl left him for someone less whiny and he's been menacing ffs forums ever since.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            She didn’t leave me, I dumped her for your sister.

          2. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers, Zimo. Times when I took to heart what trollers and haters here say are long behind me.

  13. lions
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who is Fulham back up pen taker if Mitro doesn't take one after his recent record?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andreas probably

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andreas Pereira, in my understanding.

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Penalties/set piece takers page says Pereira

    4. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They ask if Kane can do it for 50£.

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On paper that’s a very strong Spurs eleven. If they can just make it click.

  15. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris, Dier, Davies, Emerson and Hojbjerg not good enough imo

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Reply fail to above

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Need a total rebuild in my opinion

      I’d sell Kane and son too, get the money and build a team of hungry younger players

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not sure selling their best player who puts in a shift every season, putting up brilliant numbers, is the solution to their problem.

        Having money doesn't guarantee a quality replacement. Spurs know that more than anyone from selling Bale.

        1. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Are you saying Lamela and Soldado weren't good value signings? 😆

  16. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I want a Kane and Mitro shooting contest for most goals

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto -for one GW only

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What are the Fulham fans chanting?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Something about bringing back the Michael Jackson statue.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's Spurs fans singing something that rhymes with 'Lid Army'.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Doesnt normally get more exotic than “Come on Fulham, Come on Fulham”

  18. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    what on earth are the Fulham fans chanting from minute 1?? so annoying

  19. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Next Gw I have a tricky lineup

    Ederson (ward)
    Shaw Trippier Saliba (Schar Bueno)
    Saka Odegaard Fernandes (c) Rodrigo (Mitoma)
    Kane Toney Haaland

    Would you drop Kane for Mitoma easy home fixture? Not sure what to do, Rodrigo has a double, possible Boost?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A BB is heavily tempting there

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Currently selected

  20. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Nice to see Boa Morte still being involved in PL.
    Remember when I had him, Steed Malbranque and Steve Finnan in a DGW. Good times!

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

      Malbranque is a nice blast from the past. He was a quality player

  21. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hypothetically...........is this worth a -4 for 5 DGW players?

    Kane>Gnonto, Andreas>Bruno, Almiron>Rodrigo

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’d say yes.

      1. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        (For context though on how much my opinion should matter, I took a hit this week to get Toney and March in for Kulu and Darwin (benching Mitro) and captained KDB over Haaland)

  22. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane cap fail.

    Mitrovic fail.

    Getting the shouts in early.

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Palhinha. What a nutter

  24. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Triper walker shaw (botman saliba)
    Rash almiron mahrez mitoma (martineli)
    Kane toney haland

    Which?

    A) almiron to rodrigo/bruno/odegard/saka
    B) walker almiron -4 to awb/martinez saka
    C) almiron martineli -4 to bruno odegard (gw23 bruno to saka)

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty might get on before 30'!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Emerson is sore.

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Defence looking abysmal

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Reed almost

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Get Kane, Kukusevski and Son on.

  28. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Spurs won’t make top 4

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think it’s plausible they might not make top 6. Brighton and possibly Fulham to finish higher imo.

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

    cmon mitro do something. even an assist

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why is Kane even considering staying with this shambles?

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Loser mentality

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Having just his brother for an agent probably isn’t the best strategy
