Watford v Spurs team news: Lucas joins Son and Kane in front three

The in-form Son Heung-min and Harry Kane face the only Premier League side without a clean sheet this season in the day’s solitary 3pm kick-off.

Son has six attacking returns in his last five appearances, while it’s three in three for Kane.

Watford v Tottenham Hotspur is the next Double Gameweek 21 fixture off the rank, following Manchester City’s last-gasp win over Arsenal.

There are no real surprises with the Spurs teamsheet, with Son and Kane joined by Lucas Moura in a front three at Vicarage Road.

The Brazilian is one of two players recalled to Antonio Conte’s starting XI, with Oliver Skipp also returning. Harry Winks and Dele Alli drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso is also among the substitutes after overcoming a calf problem.

Claudio Ranieri has made three changes following his side’s 4-1 defeat by West Ham on Tuesday, with William Troost-Ekong, Imran Louza and Ken Sema back in the line-up.

Kiko Femenia is injured, while Cucho Hernandez and Ozan Tufan drop to the bench.

Ben Foster is not ready to return despite stepping up his training this week.

Son scored the only goal of the game when these sides last met in August, although the teams were under different management at that point.

Sergio Reguilon claimed maximum bonus points to supplement his clean sheet in that fixture.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Watford XI: Bachmann, Troost-Ekong, Sierralta, Cathcart, Masina, Sissoko, Louza, Kucka, Sema, King, Dennis.

      I would have liked to punt on Dawson but he likes a yc a little too much for me, so I did the smart thing and went for Cash who is on 4 bookings and will be suspended if he gets another in the next 2

      1. Ze_Austin

        We've played 18 games so only one to survive

  3. Kodap

    2 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve lost count how many times Emerson has got the ball and not been able to clear the first man

  4. TomSaints

    In advance of the second half, sorry all similar non spurs owning players.

    Been driving and just got in so obvious spurs will score 4 now

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why so negative. Be positive. I have Son so he will probably get a brace.

  5. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Let's get these points moaned in

  6. Zenith UK

    Can't lie, loving the speed at which mini-league's update now!

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It feels weird

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

    Is it worth activating the free hit now for GW22 to jump on price rises?

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I dont think price rise counts in FH

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Unlimited budget?

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

        You don’t get the benefit long term but means you can afford more for that week

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nah.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Neigh.

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

      No- wait for announcement of fixtures

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

      You might decide to WC instead. Transfer chips are irreversible once clicked, and you have 2 weeks of data to collect

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

        That’s true, good point

    6. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Forget about price rises this season.

    7. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bad move imo.

  8. jammie26
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I'm starting to think freehitting this week was a mistake.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      1.5 of 11 games gone, relax

  9. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Should’ve free hitted this week instead of next

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, triple Watford def

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      duality^

  10. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Nice contrast there

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    If Spurs get a CS today, it will be unfair for us Royal dodgers

  23. Kodap

  24. Collie01

    King over Dennis justified

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      ….if he gets a return

  25. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dennis subbing tactical, personal or injury?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Going to Heathrow to catch his plane to AFCON

    2. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It is his decision

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

      Comm said tactical. I've got him, a hopeless Royal, a quiet Son (c). Bad bad GW already.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I blame the emails and fax machine

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dennis subbed off at half time. Odd.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saving for DGW?

  27. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    Long live the King!

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    The problem for us playing this system is it relies on the full backs getting far forward and being part of the attacks

    Unfortunately the full backs we have our pretty rubbish when it comes to end product

  29. g40steve

    Dennis off?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
