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.

    Kane/Son non owners can't keep dodging bullets forever. Surely?

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes we can

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

      This is long overdue...

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

      The next few games you’d like to think they’d be in the points

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Until 88th minute

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I think these consecutive blanks are what's actually overdue...

    6. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I've lost rank lots of times by not owning to be fair

  2. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    For defenders up to and including DGW19, not seen many look at Eric Dier?

    Any reason why? FUL, LEE, avl, shu.

    No DGW but still good option for next few, no?

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

      Great option.

    2. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah good point. Great option

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

      Driver of the bus ; he's good value.

    4. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Great option in my opinion

    5. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Got him in for this week.

    6. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Had him all season, great value.

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

      No DGW and low ceiling is the reason why. Only non DGW def I have is cancelo

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all, still tinkering around with WC.

        Had Robbo in draft up to now but Matip injury worries me.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          My current WC def is Robbo, Cancelo, Coufal, Balbuena and Taylor.

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Looks good!

    8. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bought him this week, doing well if the CS survives.

    9. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Been mentioned loads on here

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ah apologies - I just feel I have not seen much of his name!

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

      why did Reguilon come off? would Dier be a better pick on WC?

  3. joey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Looking forward to the rest of the season who are the players you really want or can't imagine leaving your team (except injury etc)?

    For me Salah and Bruno look like they'll be the top scorers this season. Bamford is great value and should keep getting returns. The next fixtures are iffy for Grealish but Villa look good, he is central to everything and looks as if he's unlucky to not have had more points already and will have a couple of doubles. Otherwise I'm not sure, KDB doesn't look the same and I don't really trust Spurs attackers under Jose.

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah, Bruno, Robertson, Bamford and Grealish

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

        Still Robbo with all the L.Pool injuries?

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

      Haaland when City sign him in January. 🙂

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don't intend to sell: Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Bamford, Martinez.

      Want: Son, Vardy.

  4. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    These games are so dull when Spurs score first. I always hope they concede first so the game can actually open up a bit.

  5. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chilwell is a good pick for a wc
    Prove wrong

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

      Watch him not start tomorrow and you'll have your proof

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        why would he not"?

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

          He wasn't playing fully fit and the short turnaround

    2. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      1- he has leicester and leeds in dgw19, then a run of (WOL,BUR,tot, shu, NEW)
      2- James might get less time, and chillwell is more creative than zouma for only 0.2m difference

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looked like he was still struggling with the ankle injury. Chelsea fixtures are not as easy as you think. Defence is conceding more chances.

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        emm i didn't watch, but that would mean he's indeed not a good option for now..

  6. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If you had the cash would you do KDB to Mane?

    Have bruno and salah, no spurs

    1. hustler7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be tempted by Son even if it is a drab performance tonight

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

      No. One or the other.

    3. tommo1989
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I have 2 free transfers and will be using only one to make the exact same move. Can see KDB getting rested tomorrow, Liverpool have better fixtures in the next two and building for the double in 19

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

  7. hustler7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you rather lose out of Grealish & KDB? Trying to build for bench boost in GW19. Would lose 0.4 on Grealish and no value tied in KDB. Worried City murder Palace in 19. Will FH in 18. Thanks.

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

    KDB >Salah
    Yaaay do it Now
    Nope Get Son

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

      I would want Salah 100%

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yaaay do it now

    3. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I have this option. I'm holding the transfer and waiting a week

      1. Aidan269
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Well mane instead of salah. Have salah. I'd still hold a week

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Get Salah

  9. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you keep R James folks if you don't have strong bench covers?

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd swap to Dier

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

        Better than Justin?

  10. Lukakwho
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gonna wildcard next week so what’s the better use of 2FT purely on this weeks fixtures/form.

    Martial + Rashy > Bamford and Mane
    DCL + Rashy > Bamford and Fernandes

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  11. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Do people really own the luxury variants of Chris Wood and Josh Brownhill?

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

      *Chris Wood and Dwight McNeil

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Harsh on McNeil after Son's """performance""" tonight

  12. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Need another spurs.

  13. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I hope Wolves score, Mourinho should be punished for serving such antifootball to fans.

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

      Absolutely..like this has actually been offensive to spend 90 mins of my life on

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

      This

  14. nolard
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Was considering Vardy to Kane, but will just keep it with KDB to Bruno.
    Is Kane and Son involved?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Involved in defending I guess

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ha!

  15. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Have TAA and Salah.
    Do KDB > Mane instead of going for Son or Kane?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So negative from spurs, hope Wolves score

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

      Hopefully, they deserve it

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Still won't teach Mourinho a lesson, he'll just blame someone else...

  17. Starky22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on Rashford???

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

      He'll play unless he needs surgery. He played a lot of last season with an injury too. Guys a proper professional

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

      Yes. He's still missing sitters

  18. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If Spurs keep a CS here this will be yet another week where my entire backline gets points... wonder why I don't just play 5 at the back as i'd probably get more points than rely on my attacking players recently.

  19. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    DCL owners what are you doing with him?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Unsure. Probably keeping one more week then moving to Martial.

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Might sell for Cavani for a month or so

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

      Selling for Vardy

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably just play him v MCI, reluctant to use FT to ship him with no direct replacement apart from Adams

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping for 1 more week then selling

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

    Whats the point of semedo

    Who came up with his real life price tag

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

      His former club

  21. Pitch Perfect
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will Rhys Williams play next few? Worth a punt if it enables Raphinha Kane combo? Have plenty of other defenders.

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

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

    Building up squad for dgw bb

    A Vardy, Maddison and 5.9m defender or
    B Vardy, Soucek and Robbo?
    Soucek and Raphinha would be my 4th and 5th mids going forward with Salah,Bruno, Son.

    1. Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B easily.

  23. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus my team is desperate this week

  24. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Traore is just another Antonio Valencia. Except suckier in defence.

  25. dogtanion
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    124 year old Martin Tyler deserves a Nobel Peace prize for actually staying awake during this drivel

  26. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son off

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

    Lamela on
    Son off

  28. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son rested

  29. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Kane > Vardy will be popular

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      ... and Vardy gets rested!

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy rested next gw?

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

      Hope so. Kane at home to Fulham and Vardy a big question mark for the Palace game.

  30. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How come Kane receives no where near the same amount of hate as KDB when he blanks

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

      We're used to it from Kane.

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

        😆

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was not as popular a captain choice this week.

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

      Kane working hard for the team tho

      Kdb was just finding ways to not score

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      We all know KDB is a brilliant footballer, as for Kane the jury is still out.

    5. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      KdB is touted as God on here, so that's why.
