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.

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

        Yeah a painful thing to keep happening in the ankle

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

    Was thinking two Arsenal mids but I guess it’s Mitro to Eddie now

  5. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mitro to Niketah

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes if Jesus still out

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

        Jesus is still out for a while

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Mitro to Nketiah a no brainer DGW23

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

        He isn't back until March

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

      Gnonto

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        For the first DGW only

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

        Is he locked as a starter for Leeds?

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes.

          Risk is when Summerville returns next month. But good for the double.

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

        I'm not sure Forest (A) when Forest are quite decent at home, and Man United (A) are the best fixtures. Was puffing at end of last match, wouldn't be surprised by some reduced mins in the DGW.

    3. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Will Jesus even get into the starting XI if Nketiah keeps this form

  6. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris going for all 3 bonus pts

  7. _Ninja_

        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nice 9pts

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

      Could they wheel him on for a point?

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

        In a week when Shaw & White score 0 on benches?

        Never, this is FPL!

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

          I know . The number of times I’ve had monster scores stuck on the bench and all I’ve got this time is Bueno!

  10. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Aberdeen knocked out the Scottish cup by juniors lol

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

    Kane no baps?

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

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

    Kanes surrounded by clowns

  13. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Give me an OMG Kane just one more time tonight.

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This isn't quite the Mitrovic outscoring Toney scenario I was hoping for...

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

      100% better

  15. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    6 points for Kane is quite dissatisfying

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

    Kane 3 BAPs from the man in the stand!

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

    I'm never getting Doherty again

    Just like I'm never getting Foden or Zaha again

    Who's on your never again list?

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

      Digne.....

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

      Mitro

    3. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any Chelsea player

    4. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha, Darwin, Mitrovic too possibly

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

        Harsh on Mitrovic, he’s a machine that will likely get 20 goals.

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

      Doherty, Zaha, De Bruyne (after the DGW)

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Can't count out KdB indefinitely

    6. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Trent, Reece James, Cancelo,

      KDB, Mount, Son

      Nunez, Wilson, Martial, Havertz

  18. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Did Kane have many chances?

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

      Scored a great, missed a sitter.

  19. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    After all that, Kane only gets 4 more points than Mitro 🙂

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

      Really sucks. No BP, gets less than a def in points... OR only better by 3k.

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

    Mitro, Cancelo, Martinelli, Almiron blanking every GW…

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    74 all out - anyy good this week?

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Its decent. I'm on 84

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

      86 all out. Rank 64K to 43K

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

      Averages:
      - Top10k: 77.92
      - Elite: 76.22
      - Overall: 66.23

      It's all relative, but bit of a rank drop for you. At end of the day it's your keeper that's let you down as rest of the team has done average too.

      Might do better next week.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. I got 86 so hoping to be 300k tonight.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think more the fact Kepa got a surprise cleanie at Anfield

  22. Forgetmeknot
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw (0), white (0), cancelo (0) and finally Doherty (0) fulfilling the quadruple bagel for me. If everyone else is striking then why can’t they and fair play to them!

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw and White do better usually but Cancelo and Doherty not certain starters so might want to get rid

  23. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Time to finally get rid of Mitro?

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

      Chelsea, Forest, Brighton, Wolves to follow… nah

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

        That’s currently 4 good defences?

  24. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had Kane, Mitrovic and Kulusevski playing tonight. Disappointing game really and Kane isnt getting bonus.

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

      Who are getting the bonus points?

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

    I want to rage transfer Doherty from my team rignt now.

    Should I do it?

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

      Yes.

      You will sleep better.

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

      As someone who thinks rage is a positive emotion, I say yes.

    3. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No, better to resist and wait

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

    Missing top 10K by 1 point (or 1 Kane bonus point )

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

      Nice!

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

      Great rank.

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

      Doubt 1 Kane bonus would do it when he is 77% owned

  27. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Didn’t realise there was no game next weekend.
    Disinterested this season

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

      Middlesbrough Watford on Saturday?

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

    I'll take a -20k rank drop as a slap on the wrist. I've learnt my lesson about not captaining Haaland.

    So, Bruno (C) or Rashford (C)?

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

    Now I see why Spurs fans wouldn’t mind if Conte left. Nick a goal and park the bus every game. Dross. Won at Chelsea because of no Europe and a great team on a plate.

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ha, so the FPL site put a caveat about the DGW on their site in the end warning on early transfers
