Antonio starts for West Ham as Reguilón returns to Spurs line-up

Michail Antonio (£6.6m) returns to the West Ham line-up as they host Spurs in Double Gameweek 25.

The forward missed the most recent Premier League outing, a 3-0 win over Sheffield United, with fatigue but is looks to be back to full fitness.

Antonio leads the line in today’s London derby with Jesse Lingard (£5.9m), Pablo Fornals (£5.9m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.0m) in attacking midfield.

With Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) and Declan Rice (£4.7m) in defensive midfield, the only other notable piece of team news is a second successive start at centre-back for Issa Diop (£4.3m).

He continues to fill in with Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m) recently sustaining an ankle injury.

There will be plenty of attention on the Spurs team today too.

Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) will both be under the Fantasy microscope for those considering how to set their teams up for Double Gameweek 26.

Spurs face Burnley (home) and Fulham (away) in the next round, offering one of the kindest Double Gameweek schedules.

Elsewhere, Japhet Tanganga (£4.9m) retains his right-back berth and there is a surprise return at left-back for Sergio Reguilón (£5.5m).

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Dawson, Coufal; Rice, Soucek; Lingard, Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Reguilon, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga; Højbjerg, Ndombele; Son, Lamela, Moura; Kane.

        I played Antonio, but didn’t captain. Should I hope he blanks?

              Antonio is definitely better than Firmino if only he could stay fit. Liverpool need a striker like him tbh

                Why u want Gundogan to rest he may score more?

              The bi-annual post wildcard shafting.

              Antonio, Digne on my bench

              Pope, Tarkowski, Antonio, Digne - all on the list out this week 😆

                  Wasting your wildcard, the sequel

                    The first was bad enough actually!

                    Just got to laugh because the moves 100% made sense, more or less.

                        Well that's why you can't beat yourself up that much

                    Lost Antonio DCL Digne Targett Cancelo Dias Barnes in WC24

                    Think I know what happens today.

                    (Did get treble Burnley with Lowton Pope and Tark in return so swingy roundabouty)

                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  If you held Antonio why would you bench him?

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

                    He was flagged, also I'm a moron

                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Good one captain hindsight, he's first on my bench as I have Salah Bruno Son Gundogan Raphina Ings Bamford

                    1. AC/DC AFC

                      Foresight says play your forwards regardless.

                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 1 month ago

                        He was also injured, midfielders score more points and there's noone from that 7 anyone would have started him over.

                    Exactly. Unless u have incredible replacement on ur bench

                    I played Jack instead. Was a coin toss.

                      Fair play.
                      Could come on.

                  Can somebody please tell me why Antonio is 3rd on my bench?

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

                    A man named Lukakuna put him there.

                    For the same reason Digne is 3rd on my bench.

                    Praying that Grealish Gundo and Cancelo don't play then

                  Dropped Richarlison and benched Antonio. I am so bad at this game.

                  Antonio had to be knackered against Fulham and miss Sheffield United didn't he and then do this.

                      Antonio will thrive against Man C/Man U, Arsenal and Leeds. Shame I sold him due to DGWs

                      The DGWs always sucks you in. Makes you do transfers you normally wouldnt have done, and so many times it fails (from experience). Mee, Antonio > Dallas, Ings not looking great atm

                      So many wrong choices at once. Pope bench, sold Rich and Antonio, Bamford capt.
