The Boxing Day action begins with a potential bang, as Spurs take on Southampton at Wembley Stadium, providing Harry Kane with the opportunity to break the hearts of Fantasy managers once again.

Having fired an unscripted hat-trick at Turf Moor in Gameweek 19, Kane can either add to his 15-goal tally today or, perhaps frustrate at Spurs’ temporary home venue once again.

As always, he will be going all out to find the net. He needs just one more goal to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League record for the most in a calendar year and Spurs will surely be geared up to give their striker that opportunity.

Kane returns as the Gameweek’s top captain pick and has been acquired by over 127,000 ahead of kick-off. Those managers will be anticipating an instant dividend from a 12.9 asset who will be benched or sold for his blank in Gameweek 21.

Southampton arrive at Wembley without a clean sheet since Gameweek 9 – a statistic that could pave the way for Spurs’ other attacking assets to shine. With a double Gameweek 22 beckoning, this gives Fantasy managers an opportunity to weigh up further investments with Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min both potential targets.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Had Kane(c) for every game of this season. I deserve this. He’s also one of the reasons i’m languishing in 800’000 place. Onwards and upwards

      Kane (c) every game has been a profitable move - I have done likewise, except for Lukaku in GWs 1 and 2, and the week where Kane was out, and he's averaged more than 14 points a game over that time for me

      I set out to do that, ofc he scored 7 goals in the 3 weeks I didn’t captain so I’m happy with having him cap this week

    My frontline: Kane, Gray, Niasse.

    Three non starters for GW21? Or should Gray get his place back?

    If he doesn't then who to get?

    Gross, Knockaert and Murray all benched for Brighton. Hughton rolling over against Chelsea.

      Fine with me, have Morata & Hazard. Just a shame Christensen isn't playing.

    Forgot to change captaincy this morning from Haz to Kane. Was too busy to remember. Incredible. Day ruined at mo...!!!!

        I’m not a casual

          Yes you are

      I ‘forgot’ to captain him last week. 😉

        mate i 'forgot' to transfer him in

      2. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Forgot captaining him both weeks 😆

    Delpoitre's fat arse sat on the bench

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair, you knew the risk when you brought him in. As did I, so I'm not upset. DCL first sub helps

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A 1 Point cameo would be devastating

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    That hattrick from kane is welcomed as I have about 7 players playing and no bench

  7. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Think im out of the cup, opponent C Kane 🙁

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      +1

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So it's ages since you owned him then which makes this post nonsense.

  10. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Benched DCL after the rumours but he is not very good anyway so probably a blessing in disguise

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Without Shrek I doubt he will be taking prisoners

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hat-trick incoming.....

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years

        Thissd

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What were the rumours 😆

  11. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tough call between Son and Alli for the DGW.. who's your preference?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son atm.

    4. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alli
      Maybe both

    5. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was thinking Eriksen but now thinking Alli or Son. No idea which.

    6. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son

    7. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son>Eriksen>Alli

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane could become first player to double rise, before a blank GW

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Suarez?

  13. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DCL on penos?

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Niasse probably.

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry.. hadn't seen the line ups

  14. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Where's the HUD lineup?

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Reid dropped by Moyes is interesting.

    No defender is safe for the DGW!

  16. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Nearly got Kane in but thought I’d wait until after the blank week. Arghhh

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should judge it over 2 gameweeks then

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This. Its bad but its not awful. Tough week coming for a lot

    2. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same
      We should have done it
      Oh well long season ahead

  17. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A few on here got my hopes up of niasse starting.. knew it was too good to be true lol

    1. seewhyaxe
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I had hopes too.

      He might come off and score a brace though

  18. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Goals galore today!! I can’t wait for the 3pm games

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      0-0s all round

  19. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen wtf?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good sign imo, means Luiz isn't close to a return as Conte is saving Christensen for the next few

  20. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can I make transfers on the same week as using my free hit?

    For example
    Could I transfer in Kane after his blank and proceed to use my free hit whilst keeping Kane for the following week?

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      want to know this too

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. All the transfers will be part of Free Hit

  21. Pranav Santhosh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kanexit obviously wins because I could upgrade Christensen to Alonso 😆

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully Alonso gets 2 goals and a CS

  22. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone selling Kane for a week?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bench

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Want to take a hit to bring Son and Alli, so no

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe for Morata depend on tonight.

    4. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Waste of two transfers.

      1. Holding Matip
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not at all - 2 points min you otherwise wouldn't have got, and then transferring back in for the double game week means its free

    5. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doubre rise incoming before blank to avoid sold out

    6. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bench (got him at 12.5m)

    7. Holding Matip
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, only costs 2 points if you think about it, and then the double game week means its free

  23. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen owners hoping chelsea concede ? ( be honest 😉 )

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That goes without saying.

    2. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      About time he got a rest

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        maybe slight injury ?

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely, rival has Cahill 🙁

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You bet we are! Highly unlikely though.

    7. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would love it. Cleanie nailed though now.

    8. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Of course

    9. T.Henry14
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, I doubled Chelsea's defense for Brighton and Stoke 🙂

  24. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone take a hit to get Kane in?

    Or did the blank coming brigade stop you?

    I'd rather of had his points and bench just bench him than be clever and try to maximise points when people are benching.

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hit and captain

  25. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Glad didn't downgrade Azpi to Christ.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I did

    2. MGD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me too...

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very pleased for you.

  26. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk coming on for Christensen. Need a 1-0 Brighton win now.

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

  27. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I bought Wilson cause he is on pens...

  28. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen rested or injured?

  29. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    No Rooney again. Very disappointed. No Niasse as substitute aswell. I'm done with them two after today.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney will be back. Just ill.

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney has been pictures with his wedding ring again, him and Colleen prob playing happy families...too busy for footie

  30. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lane owners keeping or selling and getting back

    Would be temptied if I got him for 12.8 or more
