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.

Subs: Rodak, Kurzawa, Adarabioyo, Wilson, Cairney, Solomon, Chalobah, James, Vinicius.

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

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

    KDB > Bruno or Odegaard

    I know united have double but still not sure on Bruno.

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

      B

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Do u mean Odegaard?

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

          Sorry Bruno

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

      Would be tempted by Bruno if I could fit him in.

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

      GW22 Bruno
      GW23 KDB back & look to get Odegaard in side

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

    Have all my chips. Is this week a good time to do free hit? Surely don’t want Man U and Leeds players on my team long term besides maybe Rodri or Rashford.

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

      Sanchez
      Trippier-parraud-malacia
      Odegard-martinelli-KDB-almiron
      Kane-Haaland-Darwin

      Ward; Bailey-guehli-kilman

      If it helps…

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

      I'm thinking about this too.

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

      I don't see the appeal of using the FH that GW. Primarily using it for Leeds players doesn't suggest a good use of that chip. United players can be moved to City/ Arsenal the GW after

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

      No to the FH. Im considering it during upcoming blank as many high owned players could blank.
      Good week to make up ground with a fresh roster for the week

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

      Keep free hit for blank weekend

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

    Salah & almiron to Bruno & Rodrigo DGW22 then mitro to Nketiah DGW23? No hits Thanks

  4. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How much longer are we sticking with Salah? Jesus he has become the worst FPL aspect in years for his price.

    Should I ship?

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

      Yea for Bruno

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Already in my team, genuinely considering doing him to Mitoma this week for free then Greenwood to Kane after he plays City

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

          Yeh could work

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bye bye Salah. His output in points are being matched by those half his price.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly, would you do that above ? thanks

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

      He’s going through a funk. I say ship with KDB DWG coming up. Why wait for him to rediscover his form..

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

      Out this week for Bruno

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Already have him mate. Probably wouldnt bring in a city midfielder either just with Pep rotating every week. Any other suggestions?

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

          Rashford Saka Odegaard Mitoma

          1. Steve Stiffler
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Cannot doRashford Saka and Odegaard so guess Mitoma is the go, cheers

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

          Ah if you have Bruno & Rashford & 2 of the Arsenal boys I’d give him another week

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

      Yeah shipping for Bruno but waiting till double confirmed

    6. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm keeping for now, but I'll admit I'm the one who might be having difficulties letting go.

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

      We? It's your team buddy haha

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        thanks for the advice mate

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

          It's a straightforward answer. He should've been sold weeks ago.

    8. SKENG
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Until switch to KDB/Arsenal mid DGW23.

    9. Nuka Girl
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      To Bruno this gameweek, and KdB the gameweek after.

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

      Yes

  5. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Martinelli -> Odegaard worth - 4? Or just wait for free?
    Have Nketiah and white as my other arsenal.

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

      Wait

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

        I'm looking at this for a hit too...

        Ode seems involved in everything. Marti regressed slightly and may be rotated the odd game with trossard.

        I'm very tempted and think it should pay itself back

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think Martinelli will be rotated on dgw. Where odegaard wont. And Everton might be a good shout to do it for.

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

            Maybe there’s another mid to ship for Odegard. Everton and DGW says double up to me.

            1. FF Dirtbag
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Got white, Martinelli and Nketiah already. So canny do it

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

      In theory it shouldn't be worth -4 so would prefer to wait for the DGW
      Martinelli actually has slightly better xGI since the WC so wouldn't write him off completely

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

      Wait

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

    Saliba to Martinez? Or hold

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

      Noo way, best CB playing for the best team in the league

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Best team in the league lol okay

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

          Arsenal are

          1. Lord of Ings
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            City are better. Over 20 games left, half a season doesn’t make Arsenal better than City mate. If you’re lifting the trophy come may then yeah maybe, till then hold your horses.

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

        Sorry, Man Utd aren’t the best team in the league 🙁

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

          I’m talking about Arsenal. He’s asking if he should sell Saliba to Martinez

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

            Woosh

            Was suggesting Martinez the best CB when that was clearly not what you meant

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

      If you want to open an Arsenal spot then I don't see an issue with it

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

      Nah, keep especially since Arsenal double following week.

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

    I’ve been tempted by a Saka tc gw23 for a while but Rashford/Bruno may actually be the better choice this week due to the fixtures. Decisions

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

      Rashford's double looks better. Still debating him or Haaland DGW23 though.

  8. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    100 all out. Second century since the restart.

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

      Well in

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice!

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

      Well done

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all - some pretty template moves with a couple of early differentials (Odegaard and Mitoma in there). Rank has gone from 1m to 250k in 4 weeks so it can be done.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        great

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

        thanks for the faith & upward aim

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

      Well done. Nothing has worked since the restart for me. But only 40 points away from top10k, still a long way to go

    6. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very nice

    7. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Great work Miguel

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

      congrats - looks like WC break done you the world of good

  9. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which Arsenal asset:
    A. Saka
    B. Odegaard
    C. Nketiah

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

      A

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

      A>B>>>C

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

        Agree

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

          or if you can get A & B together even better

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

    If United & Leeds DGW goes ahead, this will be the team for next GW after Mitrovic > Gnonto (will wait until Feb):

    Kepa
    SHAW MARTINEZ Trippier
    RASHFORD Salah Odegaard Martinelli
    GNONTO Haaland Kane

    Ward Andreas Bueno Patterson

    with just enought ITB to do Salah & Andreas > KDB & Saka for -4 in DGW23 to get triple Arsenal mid and 2 City. Reasonable enough?

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

      Yes!

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

      Yes before prices go up

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1FT 2.9ITB

    A. KDB -> Bruno
    B. Mee -> Shaw?

    Ward
    Trippier Schar Gabriel
    KDB Rashford Martinelli Almiron
    Haaland Mitro Kane

    Iversen Andreas Mee Patterson

  12. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shame about the Haaland cptcy , gw started so well.
    At least next gw there will be more non Haaland cpt like me!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who did you go with?

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kdb. Not in great form, but worth the shot.
        Counted on reduced minutes for Haaland, which was right.
        But outcome less ofcourse

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haaland was only taken off as the game was won. And you being right on his game time with a hatty bagged makes it look funny

          1. Free Hat
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Thats what reduced minutes mean, being taken off early...
            Could easily be 3-0 without a hattrick from him you now, or can you predict the future ...
            Besides, no regrets with my choice, just didnt work out.
            Im glad you find it funny though

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              We are talking about a player who scored more than 10 other teams score in the league. Betting against him is dangerous even if he plays 30 min. I may keep the armband on him tbh

              1. Free Hat
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Thats always easy to say in hindsight...
                He and city didnt looked great, he played a lot of games and tbf besides his goals (where two of them were gifts) he didnt had many chances. People who went with utd cpts were rewarded previous gw, this gw it was not. That just the way it goes.

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Ok, pls continue not to captain him. I need my ranking to improve 🙂

                  1. Free Hat
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Will do, starting next gw

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

                  That is the way Haaland is not much in the game but finishes well & City still getting used to a proper number 9 from a false 9 they have had in years winning things

  13. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How did Kane get no bonus points despite scoring the winning goal? Did he like walk around

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Moonwalking around I believe.

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

      doesnt make sense to me either?

    3. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I didn't understand that either seems really odd to not even get 1.

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

    Kepa Ward
    Cancelo Shaw Trippier Saliba Bueno
    KDB Martinelli Rashford Almiron Andreas
    Haaland Kane Mitrovic

    Got two FT.
    Thinking

    Cancelo/Almiron/Mitrovic
    to
    Martinez/Odegaard/Toney
    for a -4
    Could potentially go Rodrigo instead of Odegaard for this dgw then switch to him next week.
    Thoughts?

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

      Martinez/Odegaard/Toney -yes

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

    A) Mount > Rodrigo (-4)

    B) Hold & play Mount

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

    83 points and almost under 30k OR lets goooo

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

      Grats!

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

    27% ownership for Jesus when he has been out for several
    Weeks and has no return date just shows that a lot of fpl players just don’t bother after the first game week . In my mini league of 20 there is prob 3 or 4 each season that choose a team and then have never made a single
    Change again

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

      And who can blame them, game has been crap this season, I say that at 90k rank

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

    KDB, March to Bruno, Saka for -4?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one

      Pass

  19. La Roja

      Haaland in 23 I think for me

        I meant 22

          I know but I will not use on Rashford in 22 but will wait to use in 23 on Haaland for his double

    Thoughts all, thanks.
    Ideally would do this for free next week but.

    Toney Almiron Martinelli -> Mahrez Nketiah Odegaard -4?

    Is KDB Marti Almiron to Bruno Saka Odegaard worth -4 if the dgw is confirmed? Then Bruno to Mahrez the week after.

    Trippier Schar Shaw
    KDB Martinelli Rashford Almiron
    Haaland Kane Toney

      Potentially for the long term yeah - might be worth keeping Marti and just doing the 2 frees though

        Cheers would you get Saka or Odegaard 1st?

        1. Saka Punch
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Saka imo - so consistent in his output and on pens, but both great options

  27. Saka Punch

    Which is my best move here for the double:

    A) KdB -> Bruno
    B) Almiron + Martinelli -> Mitroma + Bruno (-4)

    Thanks

      Mitoma*

      B

    Best option- on free transfers planning KDB to Bruno plus

    A Mitrovic v (che) to Nketiah or
    B Almiron v (WHU) to Ødegaard

    1. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say B probs, Mitro always dangerous (unless he's injured ofc)

    Will u do kdb for one gameweek to bring in bruno?
    Is the dgw for manutd vs leeds confirmed?

    1. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd try and find another way to get Bruno to avoid having to use another transfer bringing KdB back in (unless you're not gonna get him back obv)

      1. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Other way to bring back bruno will need -4

    Any MUN defender other than Shaw nailed enough? Maybe Wan Bissaka or Varane?
