The two most-captained players of Gameweek 5 feature in the third Premier League match of the day.

West Ham United are the visitors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off in north London at 16:30 BST.

Son Heung-min (£9.3m) and Harry Kane (£10.7m) have both been handed the armband by over one million Fantasy Premier League managers for this clash.

They were also the most-bought players in their respective FPL positions ahead of Gameweek 5, with Son attracting more transfers in – just under two million – than any other asset.

Those two in-form attackers start again this afternoon but loan signing Gareth Bale (£9.5m) is only among the substitutes, having made the Spurs matchday squad for the first time since his move from Real Madrid.

There is a change to the Spurs frontline for the visit of the Hammers, however, with Lucas Moura (£6.9m) dropping to the bench and Steven Bergwijn (£7.1m) starting in his stead.

The only other alteration to the Lilywhites’ starting XI from the side that thrashed Manchester United 6-1 two weeks ago sees Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) replace the injured Eric Dier (£5.0m) at centre-half.

All of that means that Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) have to be content with places on the bench again.

Dele Alli (£7.5m) isn’t involved in the 18-man squad.

The West Ham team news is straightforward, as David Moyes names an unchanged side from the one that beat Leicester City 3-0 last time out.

Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) has recovered from injury to take his place at left wing-back.

Not one West Ham asset has a double-digit ownership in FPL, with Michail Antonio (£6.3m) the only member of their starting XI who features in more than 5% of Fantasy squads.


Spurs XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio.

    Jose knows more then anyone about resting Kane.

    20 mins left behind the sofa

  2. Firminooooo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is killing me.

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone who doesn’t already have Kane is blind, knows nothing about football and deserves everything they get. To be blunt about it.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It certainly rhymes with blunt.

      2. Chhana
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        what if i captain Werner?

        1. Chirsbom
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          -drops mic-

        2. MSTRKRFTSMN
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No excuse for not owning Kane.

      3. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wow u sound like my ex

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          She sounds like a good FPL manager

      4. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch.

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lies. He's playing Live against West Ham. How dare u try to frame an innocent man!

  3. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    KdB out & willing to take a hit.

    McCarthy ¦
    TAA - Coady - Ward
    KdB* - Salah - Jorginho - Son
    Kane - Maupay - Wilson*
    ¦ Bissouma* - Justin* - Taylor

    A) Bissouma -> Mahrez + JRod
    B) Justin -> Fernandes + Reguilon
    C) Wilson -> Grealish + Aguero

    Which option seems best?

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      KDB confirmed out? Faces West Ham next.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Pep said 2 weeks?

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No he said 'next few games' which could imply europe

        2. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He said maybe 2 games. That includes the mid-week game.

      2. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Do you like the look of City at the moment? Since season start really?

      3. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Don't want him anymore.

  4. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane penalty please!

  5. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Max Kilman?
    Will he get more games?
    4.0 Wolves defender 🙂

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bottom of the pecking order I think

  6. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I have a Kane route...

    Foden + Davis > Kane + Stephens -4

    Is this the way?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds too good to be true

  7. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So, Jimmy > Kane & Trent > Chilwell good moves?

    Or at least wait until next GW as Liverpool & Wolves both have good fixtures.

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd wait until after next week. TAA should get a clean sheet at least and I doubt Chilwell will.

  8. The Frenchie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) DCL / Kane / Bamford
    B) DCL / Kane / Maupay

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    VvD + KdB + Richarlison >>> Reguillon + Son + Kane for a -4 is a no-brainer, right?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      absolutely

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I'm going to wait for none of them to hopefully get injured in the next 45 minutes and do it then.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of hits but absolutely yes

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Rather that than wait for them to drop in value.

    3. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If that is truly your team, you have been really unlucky and yes that is a no brainer

  10. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    VVD to Reguilon no brainer

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chilly

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nah Chelsea can't keep cleans. Mou loves a stable defense

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do it.

  11. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is morphing into Francesco Totti.

    1. Railwayman
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hahahhaaaa nice one 😀

    2. Railwayman
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A tipical old trequartista role for Francesco Kane.

  12. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which players are at most risk of being sold to bring in Kane and/or Son?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      city probz

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

      Jimenez. KDB. VVD (with 2 transfers). TAA (with 2 transfers). Werner. Havertz. Aubameyang.

    3. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez

    4. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably vardy and jimmy.

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

      KDB or TAA I'd say. Can't have Salah, son, Kane and 1 of them realistically

    6. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy!

  13. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    foden + delap to biss + kane for a hit Y/N?

    1. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really????

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah why u asking?

        1. LegendMoon
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Must have serious $ITB

          1. Cojones of Destiny
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            yeah and save itb after the move )) what ya think about the move ?

  14. Railwayman
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Tbh a West Ham goal would be nice to swipe the cs points from Spurs.

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

      Soucek off the bench for me.. a goal from him would be nice!

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah from all Doherty, Davies and Dier owners

      1. Railwayman
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well, some have Regulion and Aurier...

        1. Lazaretti
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          True but not too many. Most have one of those 3.

          1. Railwayman
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yet my main ml rival somehow has Aurier 😀

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you keep Adams or Wilson? One has to go for Kane

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Adams

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I did Wilson last night

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Brought in WIlson or removed?

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Removed

  16. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Harry Kane basically playing the Firmino role but bringing out more goals & assist.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      so not the Firminho role...

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It's the same role except Kanes actually good at it

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, and that makes Son and Bale the Mane and Salah in terms of their roles...

  17. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wouldn't be surprised at a West Ham 3-3 comeback.

  18. Chirsbom
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    F**king hell the amount of knee jerking in chat. Just get one of them in, or don't. Its your team.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You okay?

      1. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I am. Got my Spurs coverage. Not everybody else it seems.

    2. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Best post all nught

      1. LegendMoon
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Night

  19. HNI
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So defense is in shambles with Rjames Justin Mitchell all potential to lose place but I have the funds for CWilson to Kun/Kane for free.
    Worth a punt?

    1. LSK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, forget about defence for a week. Everyone is conceding anyway.

    2. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If that are your options...

      How many CS do you see? That is all those guys are good for. Playing that defence might mean you at worst don't have any of them playing, although unlikely all at the same time. Missing out on 6 point maximum.

      Now, how many points do you think either Kun or Kane might bring in?

      Not an ideal situation, but this madness season I would prefer to have as few defenders as possible on the pitch.

  20. LSK
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    KDB to
    A) Grealish
    B) Zaha
    C) Fernandes

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a but keep for 10gws unless injury

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane it doesn't matter that he's a forward, the answer is always Kane right now.

      1. LSK
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Already have him and Son otherwise I would bring him in for sure

  21. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Soucek is so ridiculously attacking. Hard to fit him into a starting 11 though

    1. Seanigula
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you go with Kane and Werner, he can be the cheap 5th mid

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rotate him and Brewster could be an option?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Brewster looked lost, physique of a high schooler. Id play Soucek every game over him

  22. Seanigula
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Soucek should lose a point for that fail

  23. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    For christ sake Soucek just score a bloody goal

  24. Right In The Stanchion
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane owners fapping off big time today.

    Watch when Bamford matches him tomorrow

  25. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fornals misses a sitter!

  26. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gutted! Only Son & Reguilon

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

  27. Muller Reus Corner
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Do we reckon Digne will rise in price tonight or should I bring in kane tonight?

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon Son grab another goal lad

  29. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ings to kane for free worth doing?

    Have Son

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Seanigula
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to say no...the question is, what does the extra 2 million do for you elsewhere?

  30. Apwilkin
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on KDB return? Can’t justify him on the bench for more than a week or 2.
