Gameweek 27 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues with Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur, which gets underway at Elland Road at 12:30 GMT.

Looking at ownership figures among the top 10,000 FPL managers, the second and third-most-popular captaincy options of the Gameweek are involved in this fixture.

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are backed with the armband by just over 10% and 5% of these Fantasy managers respectively, a long way short of the number that captained Wout Weghorst.

Both Son and Kane unsurprisingly start this afternoon and are part of a Spurs side showing two changes from the midweek defeat at Burnley.

Harry Winks replaces the injured Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield, while Matt Doherty comes in for Emerson Royal at right wing-back.

Sergio Reguilon has to again be content with a place on the bench, while Lucas Moura misses out altogether with a reported injury.

Leeds also make two changes from the side that got thrashed by Liverpool on Wednesday, with Robin Koch and Diego Llorente brought into the side after injury.

Mateusz Klich and Rodrigo are benched as a consequence, with Stuart Dallas taking up a more advanced role in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Firpo, Koch, Raphinha, Dallas, Forshaw, Harrison, James.

Subs: Roberts, Klaesson, Rodrigo, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Summerville, Klich, Shackleton, Kenneh.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Doherty, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Reguilon, Sanchez, Emerson, Rodon, Bergwijn, Austin, White, Scarlett, Devine.

    Those with a WC, FH, BB left, what's the typical strategy? Because of the hits, I can easily ride out with a WC this week.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Waiting for further info. Likely wc this week, BB next. Maybe.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Its all team dependent

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      FH 30
      Dead-end into 33
      WC34 to prepare bench boost for big 36/37 DGWs
      BB GW36/37

  3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years

    No Son points today please

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Agree. All points for Kane please!

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Points for both!

  4. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ben Davies 15 pointer needed.

  5. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Raphinha! Get some points lad ...

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No, no, no … let’s leave that until next week thank you.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Next week as well, this is just a starter ...

  6. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on WC in 28 vs taking a -12/-16 to sort me out for 28/29/30, saving the WC for later? (My only chip left)

    The hits would be something like DDG, Reguilon, D Luiz, Bowen, King -> Forster, Saiss, Raphina, Coutinho, Jimenez

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I would WC tbh although will need to fit in your mid-term approach

      1. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Just put off WC a bit as I’ll be keeping a large portion of my players for 29.. 3 Pool 2/3 Arsenal etc..

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Im tempted to take a -12 this week and save WC for later. But thats only because I can use BB this week and also get starters for GW30 which I feel is worth it.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nice to see many different approaches, it's a cliche 'team dependant' but true. I think at the end the difference may not be much and depend largely on minute details and differential surprises ... just a thought 😛

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think it will be a huge advantage to have a WC available to use for GW30 onwards. There's a huge swing on fixtures for important teams with a lot of games in hand. But ofc it's not gonna be easy to see all these WC teams full of players for 28,29 and 30 and you having to take hits and still have a less competitive starting 11.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      i think it depends how you are set

      I need to WC to set up for 28, 29 & onwards with a FH to ignore the blanks in 30.

  7. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which of these 3 would you rather own?
    Jimenez, Broja or Adams?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Those three are my BB28 forwards

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jimenez

    3. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      On current form, Adams

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Broja.

      He's cheapest and all the forwards suck so the more money you save for midfield and defense the better.

  8. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    KDB (MUN) > Salah (WHU) worth -4. Or just get Salah for DGW29?

  9. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like a more solid Leeds side with Llorente back and 3 more defensive midfielders

  10. Skorr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Has anyone seen and updates on Semedo's injury?
    I have searched around a little but everything still seems to be from right after the game on Thursday and nothing since.

  11. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hmm doesn't look like Reguilon is a first team player anymore. This was his last chance, time to get rid!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He's struggling with fitness if I recall correctly?

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He just recovered from Covid but even before that he wasn't starting as many games and being subbed early

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Lot of people getting rid of Cancelo on their WC. Him and TAA were the only players I kept on mine.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yep Cancelo is too good to not have

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I'm gonna try and keep if possible.

  13. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I captained Son...it would be nice if he gets the points Mane/Salah did against Leeds

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Solid captain choice, gl

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        thanks, and to you!

  14. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years

    Big hauls for Son and Kane today please.

  15. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Kane

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Do your thing lad

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Amen

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    This will be the day Leeds get a clean sheet.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    That spurs defence is shocking

    Doherty, dier, davies, sess

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Back 3 of Romero, Dier, Davies is okay.

      The wingbacks are not Conte quality though. He went from Hakimi to a rotation of Doherty/Royal...

  18. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Storm Eunice may have gone but there's a good chance of a Harry Kane

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    EL KAPITANO TIME

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Bemba_Da, my guy. Give me an early

    OMG KANE

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is Raphinha back in favour now then? Or still rotation prone?

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Struijk close

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I said Kane, not Struijk

  23. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How many dead teams out of the 9M users?

    Salah still showing as most capped player for the past month or more & only played in the DGW?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      id guess between 6-7m dead teams

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He’s that good he still has a good chance of hauling in blanks

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Well under half, there are probably a million or three one week teams in there for starters. Some people start a new team every GW, to effectively FH for a week in the limelight.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Well over half.

  24. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Got Kane on FH, would have had Raph with original team. It's hide behind the sofa time.

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Davies making lots of runs from deep. Leeds' weakness.

  26. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Son effectively passes ball back to Leeds keeper

  27. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    w/c thoughts? hit the button now, or wait till m/week fa cup games completed to see how gw 30 looks, or can just free hit then
    cheers

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Son will 100% blank today!

    I got him for a hit and captained him so he's cursed.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I didn’t so he’ll get a hattie

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Son, Kane, Bruno, KDB and Burnley will all blank, I've got them on FH and every transfer I've made since Christmas has resulted in a blank first GW out.

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    OMG Doherty

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Hahaha. He's back!

  30. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    OMG YES
