All eyes on well-owned Kane and Son in final fixture of Gameweek 15

The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Wolverhampton Wanderers entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux.

Kick-off in the Black Country is at 19:15 GMT.

Those Fantasy Premier League managers who handed the armband to Son Heung-min (£9.7m) or Harry Kane (£11.0m) in Gameweek 15 will be hoping their nominated captains can take advantage of Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.6m) unexpected blank earlier today and gain ground in the overall rankings.

Kane and Son were the second and third most-captained players of the current Gameweek.

Among the top 10,000 FPL managers, there were fewer takers:

Both players feature today, maintaining their 100% ever-present starter status in the Premier League this season.

There are four changes for Spurs from their previous top-flight fixture.

Matt Doherty (£5.7m), Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m), Harry Winks (£5.2m) and Ben Davies (£4.6m) are all handed recalls.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m) and Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) are benched, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) is injured.

Adama Traore (£6.1m) returns to the Wolves starting XI as boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes three changes from the side that lost to Burnley last time out.

Fabio Silva (£5.2m) and Fernando Marcal (£4.8m) are also recalled.

Budget defender Max Kilman (£4.2m) is benched, along with Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.0m) and Owen Otasowie (£4.5m).

Willy Boly (£5.4m) and Gareth Bale (£9.3m) aren’t involved in their respective clubs’ squads.

Kane and Son are the only two players on show tonight who have an effective ownership in excess of 10% in the top 10,000:


Wolves XI: Patricio, Marcal, Saiss, Coady, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Traore, Podence, Neto, Silva.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Winks, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I think Vardy will be and Iheanacho will start but Maddison should play

    Think Antonio will be fit for DGW?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, 1 game at best.

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

      Won't play both games even if fit

  9. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who to sell for Son: KDB or Grealish? Can afford both

  10. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Lamprey to Dias?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Lamptey*

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Still a great move.

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

  11. Eh, just one more thing ...

    It’s the popular move, one I’m considering myself .... but I might just hold another week.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Think it might be the best time to redistribute De Bruyne's funds

    Martinez
    Taylor - Dallas - James
    Salah - Fernandes - Son - De Bruyne - Grealish
    Bamford - DCL
    (Peacock-Farrell) (Coufal, Brewster, Mitchell)

    2 FT - 0.4 ITB

    Maybe De Bruyne + Mitchell to Soucek and Robertson

    Which leaves me with a 4-4-2 for next week

    Martinez
    Taylor - Dallas - James - Robertson
    Salah - Fernandes - Son - Grealish
    Bamford - DCL
    (Peacock-Farrell) (Soucek - Coufal - Brewster)

    I will then look to upgrade Brewster and other parts of my team for GW19 with a look to FH in 18

    Any other ideas though?

    Need to downgrade somebody anyway for funds.

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. Barring emergencies, you can upgrade PF and Brewster using your transfers 17 and 19 for Bench Boost.

  13. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best midfield punt for GW16? Any price at all. Currently thinking about doubling up on Mane and Salah

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could always try Auba

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

      Pick one and go with it. Lots of options in midfield

    3. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford, but mane/salah better of course

  14. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any comments please on my DGW planned team (will have Son until GW19 then take out for Madders)

    Martinez Johnstone
    TAA Cancelo Justin Taylor Coufal
    Salah Bruno Madison Raphinha Soucek
    Martial Bam Adams

  15. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    3.9m Struijk currently outscoring Salah(c), Son and Kane combined.

    Are there any big hitters left?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Podence should have scored there

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    When will Mark go live?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      first, he needs to get him drunk. that was the promise

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        btw thanks for reminding me I am going for a beer

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Blackbox?

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        In one hour according to Az

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My defense is Lamptey Cancelo Justin Dallas Mitchel.

    Lamptey to Dier or Stones? Probably not playing a FH in GW 18

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stones looks pretty nailed right now

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, but they play after 2 days and Dier has more rest. Also, they play Fulham and Leeds and City play Everton and Chelsea. I am scared that Stones will be rested.

  19. Hooky
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Super Sunday my arse.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Players are tired after so many minutes imo

      1. Hooky
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Think they must have eaten and drank as much as I did on Christmas day judging by today's performances!

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Too many hams

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Tempted to slap the armband on Bruno for the rest of the season

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Him or Mo

      They’ve both ruined the game

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      We said this about Salah only a few GW’s ago

  21. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    DCL Kilman to Adams Cancelo -4 would give me:

    Martinez
    Robo/Cancelo/Dallas
    Salah/Bruno/Son/Grealish
    Vardy/Adams/Bamford

    Martin/Coufal/Stephens/Mitchell

    Thoughts?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nice team.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That's a great team.

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks!

  22. Rbyrne95
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson and De Bruyne out for Son and Martial (or other under 8.8) for -4? De Bruyne potential is increasing since Aguero is getting minutes again surely?

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sell KDB, don't give yourself false hopes.

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

      Cavani has muddied the waters in the a United attack. It was easy last year because you knew Greenwood, Martial and Rashford would start every game.

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    2FTs, 0.3itb
    1) Kilman, KDB > Cancelo, Son
    2) Kilman, Wilson > Cancelo, Dec-Reid (switch to 352)
    3) Forster, KDB > Meslier, Son (prepping for possible BB in gw19)
    4) Kilman, KDB, Wilson > Robbo, Son, Dec-Reid (-4)

    McCarthy, Forster
    Chilwell, Coufal, KWP, Targett, Kilman
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Bruno, Soucek
    DCL, Bamford, Wilson

  24. JJO

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years

      Right DM?

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

      Anywhere since they playing 8-0-2

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        8-0-2 with Kane and Ndombele upfront

  25. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy, Grealish -> Kane, Saka & bank 2.2?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Avoid Saka

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Why?

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It's Saka

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone remember the time people sold Kane then he back to back hattricked at Christmas

    That happened, right?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I was one of them

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I just remember egegersendorandqnaff doing it

        Shattered the “myth “ of the pro pundititz” once & for all

    2. JJO
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah but wont happen again

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haha yeah I bought him for those harries when people sold, a small acheivement

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I captained him for both games

  27. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jamal Lewis to play this week?

    Dont want to take a hit to remove Matip. Can switch him to Robbo for free next week

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Or maybe mitchell over PVA??

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like he lost his spot

  28. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you swap Grealish for Rashford in time for the DGW? I'm trying to plan ahead, so would keep Grealish until the double.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t get the love for Rashford, such a poor shooter of the ball

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I guess that's a no then.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Haha yeah, Rashford a no no for me, and i’m a utd fan

          1. The Mighty Hippo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            My other option is Son to Mane?

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That would be a bit Rash. Vadoodoom.

  29. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs are so boring.

  30. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Bench two

    A : Dallas
    B : Taylor
    C : Coufal
    D : Balbuena
