A home encounter with Southampton lifts the captaincy appeal of Harry Kane (£12.3m) and Son Heung-min (£10.6m) in Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League.

Kane continued his improving form under Antonio Conte, scoring twice in Tottenham Hotspur’s FA Cup home win over Brighton & Albion at the weekend.

The forward has four goals and an assist in his last five matches in all competitions.

Son, meanwhile, has produced points in each of his last six Gameweek appearances for Spurs.

All four of the South Korean’s double-figure hauls this season have come at home.

Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne (£12.2m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m) can also deliver big returns against Brentford.

De Bruyne has averaged 9.2 points per home start this term. That includes 34 points in his previous three at the Etihad Stadium.

Mahrez scored twice and supplied an assist in Man City's FA Cup win over Fulham at the weekend.

He has three double-figure returns and 44 points in his last four appearances.

Alexander-Arnold a Salah alternative?

Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m) offers a strong alternative to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) for Liverpool’s home match with Leicester City.

The right-back has matched his team-mate’s total of seven double-figure scores in Fantasy this season.

Salah, meanwhile, is expected to start against Leicester on Thursday once he returns from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) later this week. 

His average of 8.8 points per match is better than any other player in 2021/22 Fantasy.

Look to in-form duo

Finally, Jarrod Bowen (£6.9m) and Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) have very favourable fixtures to extend their run of returns.

West Ham United’s Bowen welcomes Watford on the back of three goals and five assists in his last six appearances.

Edouard, meanwhile, has three goals and two assists in his previous four ahead of Crystal Palace’s visit to Norwich City
