Kane makes immediate impact on Spurs return as Son breaks goal drought

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2-0 WEST BROMWICH ALBION

  • Goals: Harry Kane (£11.0m), Heung-min Son (£9.7m)
  • Assists: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m), Lucas Moura (£6.6m)
  • Bonus: Hojbjerg x3, Kane x2, Son x2

Kane and able

Harry Kane (£11.0m) made a swift return to Jose Mourinho’s starting XI in Gameweek 23.

Having injured both ankles in the Gameweek 20 defeat to Liverpool, Mourinho first reckoned Kane could return for the FA Cup fifth round or in Gameweek 24.

The Spurs boss then hinted at a comeback for West Brom’s visit, which duly occurred. Kane lasted the full game against the Baggies, despite an early challenge which saw him down and holding an ankle for a brief moment.

Kane also brought his shooting boots to the Gameweek 23 clash, managing more efforts (five) than any other player on show.

It was his fifth shot that beat Sam Johnstone (£4.5m), putting Spurs a goal ahead after 54 minutes. Kane also created the joint-most chances at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in Gameweek 23, while starting the move that saw Heung-min Son (£9.7m) double Spurs’ lead in the 59th minute.

Late rise for Son

Kane released Lucas Moura (£6.6m) on the counter-attack as West Brom sought a quick equaliser.

The Brazilian slalomed between panicked Baggies defenders before teeing up Son, whose shot had too much power for Johnstone to keep out – despite the keeper getting a slight touch before the ball sailed into the net.

Son was taken off well into injury time but not before he completed a late 30th pass. That, added to a pass completion percentage of 85%, saw him make a late rise up the Bonus Points System standings to earn two bonus points.

The FPL midfielder had failed to get on the scoresheet since Gameweek 17 and was delighted that his partner-in-crime Kane had returned to the fold. On his team-mate, Son regaled:

He’s so, so important for us. We know that Harry’s one of the best strikers in the world. It was only a couple of games but we missed him a lot. He came back and scored straight away, so I think this is what we need. When I play with him it’s really enjoyable – I miss him [when he’s not available].

Mou sleepless nights for Sam

Mourinho was effusive in praise of his players’ “compromise” after Spurs ended a run of three straight league defeats. He stated:

I loved the compromise of the players. I loved the effort, the determination. The clear show to everyone how together they are and how much they were suffering with the bad results. That, for me, was the fundamental thing.

In the first half we could kill the game, we had big dominancy and we had a couple of good chances. But the compromise of the players, for me, is the most important thing.

On failing to score in the opening 45 minutes, the Portuguese manager added:

Frustration, yes, but (also) a feeling of confidence. I spoke with the players at half time, maybe one minute. I didn’t need much more than one minute, there was not much to say apart from, ‘we are in the right direction and if we play the same way, for sure in the second half we have to win the game’.

Sam Allardyce, unsurprisingly, was less pleased with the outcome. The Baggies boss spoke before the game about his side’s defensive issues, which he felt came to the fore again over the 90 minutes.

I’m still facing the same problems ten games in and those lapses in concentration keep hurting us. Harry Kane being alone in our box amazes me but there you go. Son and Harry Kane have scored because of our weaknesses there.

Seeing Harry Kane in our box unmarked – that lapse at this level just can’t happen. We should be stopping that at source. Then we let them go from their box to our box without putting a mark on any one.

We scored, it got disallowed, we scored again and that was disallowed but at least we scored two ‘goals’ here. If we get the right service in the box we’ve got a man [Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m)] who can score.

Until we shut the back door better life is going to be difficult for us. This is it now, the window is shut, we’ve got what we’ve got. We’ve got to start winning games and we won’t do that by keeping on losing. We need an undefeated run with more wins than draws in it.

Every time I speak to you I’m sick about talking about conceding those kind of goals. It’s another night where I’m not going to sleep too well.

West Brom’s problems in defence bode well for Manchester United assets in FPL, with the Red Devils arriving at the Hawthorns in Gameweek 24.

Spurs’ next two games are tough-looking away trips to Manchester City and West Ham. Mourinho’s men will have Double Gameweeks in some fashion from Gameweek 26 onwards, though that schedule depends on FA Cup results among other things.


Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Davies, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Aurier (Doherty 67′); Ndombele, Hojbjerg; Son (Scarlett 90+3′), Lucas Moura, Lamela (Bergwijn 73′); Kane.

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-5-1): Johnstone; Townsend, Bartley, Ajayi, Peltier; Grant (Phillips 68′), Maitland-Niles, Sawyers (Yokuslu 77′), Gallagher, Snodgrass (M Pereira 79′); Diagne.

      Raphina

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Why him?

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah! You didn't as about why Kane? Rafinah keeps getting better and Arsenal getting worse. Highly unlikely Kane will get a penalty against City. Almost guaranteed 2 point.

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Kane makes sense. Raphinha is a hit & miss category, I'll see how they play today though

            1. Tinkermania
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Rafinah has Arsenal and Kane has City was my point. If Kane had WBA, would be easy choice.

              1. R.C
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Spurs usually beat City

  2. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should be through to the next round of the FPL Cup. So much luck involved. Anyone else through or likely to make it through?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have a close run again - depends on Bamford v/s Dallas

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They should remove TC and BB from cup teams

  3. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Suggestions :
    A) Ben Mee + J.Vardy
    Or,
    B) kilman/struijik + H.kane

    If A then i will buy mee this GW
    If B then i have to hold my Ft.

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years

    Start which of these next week?

    a) Bamford
    b) Hamez -4
    c) Mee -4

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      A

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years

      A

  5. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TAA has been a disastrous transfer, but also tempted to rid myself of Salah. Current plan is for WC 25 and BB 26. Thoughts? 1 FT, 0.9 ITB.

    Pope / Martinez
    Cancelo / Stones / Justin / TAA / Bednarek
    Salah / Fernandes / Grealish / Saka / Gundogan
    Bamford / Antonio / DCL

    1) TAA > Digne
    2) Salah > James Rodriguez (or another - any suggestions?)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1 looks nice

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1) TAA > Mee

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This week's scout picks is an awful sight.

    1. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure I've outscored it every week. Never take any notice of it.

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Soucek+Robbo >> Salah+Digne (-4)?
    And bench Bam Bam.

    Pope
    Coufal, Dias, Cancelo
    Son, Bruno, Soucek**, Gündo
    Bamford, Antonio, DCL
    (McCarthy, Raphina, Dallas, Robbo)

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth benching Bamford for a -4

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would rather go United

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Than which one?

  8. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Stones Dias cresswell lowton
    Salah gundo Bruno (c) soucek
    Watkins DCL
    Areola AWB raphina Wilson

    2ft 6.3 itb

    Soucek to rashford and save other transfer ?

    Thanks and gl

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes looks good.

    Save transfer or?

    Pope, Martinez

    Salah, Sterling, Bruno, Saka, Soucek
    DCL, Bamford, Antonio

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Save.

  10. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would that be good for the next week or some changes for a hit?

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Burnely def*/Stones/Coufal
    Salah/Bruno/Grealish/Gundo
    DCL/Antonio

    1. R.C

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m sure it’s not just you considering it but thank you for the input

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bit selfish.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have Pope and Mee.

      Cue no clean sheet.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes worth a punt imo

    4. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Im going double. Single wont be differential enough.
      Cant ask for better fixtures for cheap defenders to have in a double.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think I would play 1 ahead of Maguire

        Back 4 of stones, cancelo, mee, Lowton

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think its worth a punt.
          Anyways I dont trust us to keep a CS away to West Brom.

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It’s a differential because everyone will play wh and mu def, also a risk I suppose

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

      One as wouldn't take a hit for a dead wood

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point, would be 2 free’s

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just see whether it won't make you take a hit the week after as well

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So Soucek get's a 3 match ban or will it be overturned?

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon it will be overturned but nothing official yet I don’t think

    2. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like it will be overturned according to the papers

  14. fpork
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you drop for DCL?
    1) Vardy
    2) Antonio

    Bamford I guess is not an option since he has double in 25.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B. Wouldn't drop vardy if you kept him this long

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2

    4. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCLs fixtures are pretty stinken after this weekend.

    5. jb1985
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would keep DCL this week for the double and then look to move on in GW 25, TBH the Merseyside derby are usually tight games and Liverpools defence is shocking at the moment.

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start one of:

    A. Coufal
    B. Bamford
    C. Soucek
    D. Saka

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all.

    Thoughts on this WC 25 team, set up to BB in 26?
    Martinez Pope
    AWB Digne Dallas Stones Dias
    Maddison Son Fernandes Gundogan Raphinha
    Bamford Kane Watkins

    Thanks!

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We dont even know the GW26 fixtures yet.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. farmerfat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        We know what the likely fixtures will be...

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

          That spreadsheet can be wrong, and was already wrong on gw25 in its earlier version. Just leave gw26 and start to think about this after all FA cup matches played after Thursday.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Football doesn't work that way though did you think Newcastle would be Southampton this week, did you think West ham wouldn't beat Fulham? Both those results would have been in the unlikely side of things

          • Karan14
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            No we dont. There could easily be some cup upsets and it is not necessary all blanks caused by the FA Cup will be rescheduled for GW26 only.

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

          Exactly. I don't understand why so many ppls think they know the gw26 fixtures now.

      3. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        Delorean?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years

          🙂

        2. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Then why do they ask question?

      4. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So glad I got bench boost out of the way in gw 19

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          So glad that I have it this week beacuse I don't know who to bench

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My bench next week is highly decorated. Bamford, Salah and Justin - all three in top lineup of season so far! Needs must I guess. One of them is guaranteed to outscore Mee!

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'd not bench Justin v Liverpool right now.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just sell Salah imo

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Martinez, Bamford & Son for me

      4. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool will score against Leicester 100%.

        Liverpool always do well against Leicester and I can see a reaction.

        The mistake we make in this game is always looking at last week's score.

        Take me for example I benched DCL for Soucek because Soucek scored against Villa.

        In hindsight it is an utter mistake.

        Justin doing well in the past couple of gws does not mean he does well against LFC IMO.

        The other 2 I would be nervous benching but I have to bench Bamford because I fell into the double gw trap.

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

          Yea not concerned about benching Justin this week with so many good options! Salah and Bamford always a risk (and don’t think I’ve done that before with two top scoring attackers) but have 2 city midfielders and Bruno and rashford against WBA. Antonio also has SHU at home.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best buy from these two groups?

      A. JRod / Rash / Salah
      B. Mee / Digne / Shaw

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Rash
        Mee for DGW, Shaw longer term

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            JRod and Mee

      Better to hold your transfers till FA Cup games. GW26 fixture announcement should be the key to further transfer plans.

        Oops, already done DDG to Pope.

      2. Karan14

        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes definitely.

        Although GW26 fixtures might only be announced next week.

        FA Cup round finishes Thursday night. GW26 fixtures would need to be announced the next day to be before the GW24 deadline. No more than a 50/50 chance that happens I would say.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Much less than 50/50. Probably the following Monday/Tuesday. Not by GW24 deadline in any case but Crellin will doubtless make some guesses which others will treat as facts. 🙄

        Yes.
        In this part of the season I dont understand the early transfers. Team value not so important anymore, especially if you have BBed.

        And with most teams in Fa cup not worth the risk.

      How to get DCL in this team and any other suggestions welcome. 2ft .1 itb.

      Steer Martinez
      Stones Cancello Shaw Targett Mitchell
      Bruno Sterling Salah Soucek Son

        Try getting a Burnley defender? Ben Mee?

        DCL fixture not that good

          It’s a trap

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            DCL or Mee?

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Soucek, Wilson to fodder, DCL?

    7. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      GTG?

      Pope
      Cancelo, Stones, Mee, Digne
      Sterling (C), Salah, Bruno, Saka
      Antonio, DCL (VC)

      Bench: Martinez, Bamford, Coufal, Soucek

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

      Pope
      Digne, Coufal, Maguire, Stones
      Bruno, Salah, Gundogan, Sterling
      Antonio, Watkins
      bank: 0.6m, FT: 1
      Bench: Martinez, Adams, Dallas, Barnes

      A.. GTG. save FT
      B. Barnes, Antonio/ Watkins -> Raphina/ward-pownse, Bamford(-4)

      For both, i will get Bamford next gw. For B i can have DCL now(dgw) and next gw i can replace dcl with Bamford (dgw). so next gw raphina/ward-pownse and Bamford (dgw). is it worth that -4

      1. R.C

          Who to in and out ur thoughts?

    9. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What are your thoughts about Liverpool until the end of the season?

      It's a bit of a gamble but I have the feeling they will have a very tough time recovering from that game against City. City is 15 points cealr (possibly 18) so that's the end of the title race for Liverpool and Klopp this might also make some underlying problems eventually surface?

      There's that Salah/Mané connexion which is not very efficient and is not improving. One tend to explode when the other is sidelined/benched. Klopp will probably use that time to re-build and it's possible Jota will soon become again as the main man in that team which leaves a big question mark over the appeal of Salah on a FPL POV until the end of the season. It's also posisble Klopp will put 100% of his focus on UCL now.

      Are we brave enough to go Salahless?

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No chance. Salah will always be one of the highest scorers

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm keeping for now. Will reassess after Leicester game.

        Salah could become Kane after gw24.

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 1 month ago

          What's the point though, money isn't an issue and he's still the second highest points scorer in fpl. If Liverpool improve even slightly his points potential is only going to go up

        • CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think that you should look at fixtures,find 3 big hitters captains,and if Salah is not one of them,sell and upgrade team

        • Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          The title is now beyond them but they can fight for 2nd place.
          I think a key difference between Pep and Jurgen is that after starting the season poorly, Pep altered his tactics, and is benefitting from Peptation. Klopp replace 2 centre-backs with 2 midfielders and has tried to keep the same tactics and has rotated insufficiently. I reckon now he will make tweaks and rest players more, which means introducing the new defenders. So I'm expecting the rest of the season involving maintaining Top 4 whilst rebuilding for the future. That means results won't be spectacular and FPL assets won't be great value for money. I've only got Salah and will probably lose him in the next few weeks.

        • 6 Years

        How would you use chips with this team, have BB,TC, WC?

        Pope, 4.0
        Mee, Cancelo, Stones (Coufal, Mitchell)
        Salah, Son, Fernandes, Grealish, Gundogan
        Antonio, Kane (Brewster)

        1ft 0.1m itb

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

        1. Best option to push Meslier on the bench next week? (happy with rest of my team). Have Mee but could double up with Pope. Other alternatives Pickford or Areola?
        2. Foden, Gundogan or DCL for captain?

        1. George Agdgdgwngo
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Gundo

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Pope is obv choice for temporary keeper.
          Despite missing a penalty, Gundo bagged 2 goals from open play - I'd stick with him. Foden less likely to play as many minutes, and DCL has one game to bag some points.

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

            Yea I’d rather not captain DCL. Will obviously wait to last minute to see who’s most likely to play for city, may well be Gundo.

      6. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Help with which operation get Kane is best.

        Current team
        Martinez, Johnstone
        Cancelo, Dias, awb, Dallas, Coufal
        Salah, son, Bruno, Gundo, grealish
        DCL, bamford, Antonio

        Option A
        Gw24 Coufal>Lowton
        Gw25 Johnstone > 3.9, AWB>3.8 Antonio>Kane (8 point hit)

        Option B
        Gw24 no transfers which means no Burnley
        Gw25 Johnstone>3.9
        Gw26 Bamford>Brewster & Antonio>Kane. No point hit

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          B is much better

          1. George Agdgdgwngo
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Because of the point hit?

            1. jomikijiq
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah basically. Transfers like Coufal -> Lowton are not worth 4 points or more

      7. RAFA THE GAFFA

        6.6m ITB! Crazy. What’s everyone else on?

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Only 1.1 but I went Sterling instead of Gundogan and have two expensive keepers.

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Zero.

        3. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          only 1.2 atm

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Only 1.3 but have double City attack with Raz instead of double City defence.

        5. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Crack

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          only 2.8 but have a strong squad of 15 players

        7. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          2.5

        8. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          4.8

        9. DandyDon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          8 or 9 two weeks back but brought Digne in for Mitchell and Rashford in for Bissouma so only 1.7 currently.

      8. Pepeye
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Gundo hat trick would have been nice. Dreadful dive by Salah. Embarrassing

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Salah's was a foul actually, clear pen

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            According to the rules it's a penalty. There's not much physical contact let go in these times. But he was barely touched and went down like a sniper took him out knowing he'd win a penalty. Took it great though.

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It was disgusting to see. Loads doing it now sadly.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It wasn't really any different to Sterling's "professionalism" to win the first penalty. It's now seen as "clever", appalling as it is.

          2. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 1 month ago

              You don't go down, you don't get the penalty. Why should a defender be allowed to pull you back enough to take a good chance away but not enough to bring you down

          3. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Dias knew that he fouled him,but agree that he went down like he was shot in the back

        3. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Mee or Digne then for the double guys? Or get Shaw?

          Got WC, BB and TC left
