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.

    Based on this game. Wouldnt sell Kdb for Son

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

      I wouldn't

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

        Agree !

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

      I 80% agree.

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

      Not on this showing. Spurs are just so negative.

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

      I would. Better value

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

      Yeah I was set yesterday to ditch KDB to accommodate bringing Kane in (already have Son) but now thinking I will hold ... one Spurs enough I think.

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

    Who's most likely to play out of the big hitters? e.g. Bruno,Salah,Mane,Kevin etc.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They will all start and play

  3. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    It looks extremely unlikely Spurs will score again unless they concede.

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

      Yeah, the bus is PARKED

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

      No need to score

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

      Kane pen incoming.

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

    For the DGW:

    A) Vardy and Pulisic
    B) Martial and Maddison

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      A but Pulisic isn't a good pick imo

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

        Disgaree. Looks their best player

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

      A but no pulisic...

  5. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah, son and Kane blanks would be massively frustrating as my rival gets more points than me without them yet again.

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

      Maybe you've the wrong players.

  6. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best captain option for next GW? Thinking Salah still or Son

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Still Salah I think. Fulham have looked a lot more defensively sound recently

    2. asdf_1
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah

  7. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Am I stupid for considering Martial when I can afford Vardy?

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

      I’m also considering, liking the look of Utd

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy for me. On pens and seems to be in good form.

    3. asdf_1
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy may not play tmrw

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Why wouldn’t he play?

        1. asdf_1
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Rodgers on whether #LCFC can afford to rest Tielemans/Vardy in #GW16: "Yes. I'm not prepared to put a level of risk in that means they're going to miss six weeks to two months with an injury. We'll make changes - the number, we'll have to wait and see."

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

      Vardy much better

  8. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Quick turnaround from this GW. Deadline tomorrow!

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

    Sorry now I got in Kane for Vardy.

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

    Doubtful Son will perform better vs Fulham.

    May prefer Kane instead, but seems not too convincing also.

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

      Would avoid Kane at least, 4th game in 10 days and seems to be off form now.

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

    Most nailed on Man City defenders for the next 6-8 weeks

    I’ll go first..

    Cancelo
    Dias
    Stones
    Don’t know after that...

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

      Dias top

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

      Do you really think Cancelo is more nailed, bc I'd love to get him in based on his performances, just can't trust Pep

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

        Well Walker is out and Pep made the comment that Cancelo’s recovery period is really quick, said something like he could play “tomorrow”!

    3. asdf_1
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dias
      Stones-cancelo
      Walker
      Mendy

    4. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Only Dias. Cancelo is probably nailed for the next few until Walker is back but not for the next 6-8. Stones seems to be the preferred option but there are two other alternatives competing for the same spot (Laporte and Ake)

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

      Ederson

  12. asdf_1
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Grealish to son? Have 0 spurs.

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

      Son better (for fpl) but love grealish

  15. mr messi
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    KDB and DCL to Vardy and Maddison in preparation for dgw19?

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

      I like it

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

      Yes But Vardy may rest next GW

  16. arkom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Dallas / Justin / Coufal / Matip / Kilman
    Bruno / KDB / Salah / Son / Soucek
    DCL / Bamford / Wilson

    1 FT (1,3£ ITB)

    What to do??

    Matip out? Or KDB & DCL —> Kane & 9.7 mid?

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

      Matip to Dias/Cancelo

  17. Hazardous1983

    What to do with this

    Mcarthy (steer)
    Zouma taylor dias (coufal mitchell)

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

    This spurs match is perfect for those that stay ahead of the curve and not simply chase last week's scores

    Would keep Kane's relevant ownership just about low enough to mean something before the two home games vs bottom half sides. Exactly the type of game he usually thrives in

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

      Don't think Fulham will be a pushover

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

      Is it usually thrives in or used to thrive in though? As an owner I don’t feel optimistic tbh. Can’t get rid before FUL LEE though.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm forced to keep Kane because of the blanks but don't expect much from him, would much rather get another premium in midfield and only have Son if I could.

  19. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Both Son and KdB look useless. My plan was KdB to Son, but considering saving it atm.

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

      Same here. Not decided yet.

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

      I'm considering saving but hate the 0.1 drop.

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

      Maybe switch to Mane before Newcastle?

  20. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wonder if there will be any Scout Picks, Spot The Differential, and Captain Pick articles.

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

    Hary Kane 29 touches and 1 Shot off-target, Son 26 touches, and 1 Shot on Target in the first half. Meeehhh

  22. LSK

    1. Niho992

      On WC and i will have Kane only

    2. Traction Engine Foot

      I'm considering going without

  24. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Very confused about 11 and bench this week. Gtg? 1 ft 0.1itb

    Martinez
    Bednarek Robbo Chilwell
    Grealish Salah Son Mahrez
    Kane Bamford DCL

    Martin Soucek Coufal Kilman

    Worried with those West Ham lads on the bench!

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

      Grealish v Chelsea
      DCL v city

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

      Since they play each other, would you feel less worried playing Coufal instaed of Bednarak?

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

        Saints far better and could easily keep clean sheet

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

          Then I'd say you're gtg. 🙂

  26. BEEZUS

    Bought Martinez at 4.7, should I sell for a keeper with a DGW and bench boost?

      Keep

  27. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Judging by the 1st half the best we can hope for is a Son assist Kane penalty

    I have had almost exactly the same team as this FPL manager called Magnus Carlsen for a long time, and I like the way he is thinking, and he likes the way I do.

    But I'm afraid we will deviate now, I don't plan to use any chips in coming GWs. Magnus if you read this, let me know what are your plans?

    I was going to do Brewster and KDB to Kane and Soucek for -4. Any better move you can see ? Perhaps Lewis to Dallas- got 1.5 m in bank. Thanks
    FH in week 18 probably and TC /BB week 19 depending on where team is by then
