  • Son Heung-min and Harry Kane have been the Premier League’s dynamic duo so far this season. And for Fantasy Premier League, they’ve been absolutely dominant.

    The Tottenham pair have combined for 142 points this term, splitting that tally right down the middle with 71 each.

    But with Spurs’ fixtures turning beyond their Gameweek 8 trip to West Brom, here’s a look at some other double-ups to consider.

    CHELSEA

    Ben Chilwell and Timo Werner

    Ben Chilwell: Chilwell’s 2.3 key passes per game ranks top among defenders. Chelsea’s summer signing has hit the ground running and has become a reliable asset given the improvement Frank Lampard’s side have shown in defence. Three goal involvements and three clean sheets in the last four GWs promises consistency.

    Timo Werner: Chelsea have several attacking options but Timo Werner appears to be a mainstay. After a slow start to the Premier League season, he’s bagged three goals and an assist in the last three GWs and, after converting from the spot twice against Rennes in midweek, is now on penalties according to the manager.

    MAN CITY

    Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne

    De Bruyne: Not only is he back from injury but Kevin De Bruyne is currently a differential at just around 15 per cent ownership. His 3.6 key passes per game is the highest in the league. The Manchester City playmaker guarantees regular points having finished as the highest scorer in the game last campaign.

    Sterling: Raheem Sterling is City’s main threat up front with Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero struggling for fitness. He has eight goal involvements in all competitions this term and his FPL output should pick up with De Bruyne back in the fold and City’s fixtures easing.

    CRYSTAL PALACE

    Wilfried Zaha and Van Aanholt

    Zaha: Wilfried Zaha is undoubtedly Crystal Palace’s talisman and has been involved in 75 per cent of their goals. He’s scored twice and assisted once in the last three GWs while his penalty-taking duties will certainly prove useful a few more times this season.

    Van Aanholt: Owned by less than half a per cent, Patrick Van Aanholt is a tidy differential. He’s back from injury, has plenty of attacking potential and Palace’s upcoming fixtures are appealing. He had five goal involvements last term to go with eight clean sheets.
