Versus – Eriksen, Lamela and Chadli

With the exception of a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool, Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs have enjoyed an encouraging opening to their campaign. Seven goals in four matches makes their attacking options worthy of consideration, with the midfield trio of Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela and Nacer Chadli hovering on our radars as potential acquisitions.

The 4-0 thrashing of QPR certainly brought Nacer Chadli firmly into the Fantasy frame as he bagged a brace and claimed 15 points. With Mauricio Pochettino seemingly promoting the Belgian international to the status of certain starter and with a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) price tag of just 6.1, the debate over Tottenham’s attacking trio seems cut and dry.

However, Christian Eriksen’s shift to a central role in the win over Sunderland and his bundled goal in the 2-2 draw reminded us that he’s a known quantity and a proven producer after a solid 132-point campaign last year. In addition, after a season on the sidelines, largely due to injury, Argentine starlet Lamela has shown flashes of the brilliance which have gone some way to explain why Spurs shelled out £30 million for his services last summer.

In this latest article for members, we analyse this trio of targets, sifting the data available to analyse their early-season form and assess whether Chadli’s emergence has put both Eriksen and the resurgent Lamela in the shade.

      2. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I could use a FT to get Rooney but not sure if thats worth it, probably a waste.

  4. Lizard Lips

    Terry to Baines or save transfer?

    1. D-Burls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Save

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      save

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        (if it's -4)

        do it for free.

        1. Laserface
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          i thought saving the transfer implies that its a FT

    2. Edmond
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly my dilemma with Cahill 🙁

  5. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle, Ade or Falcao? Not just for this week, but the next few

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle or Falcao if you don't have Rooney

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle I think

  6. Edmond
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Alright lads, mini captain poll. Who are you going with?

    1. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney (C)
      Lamela (VC)

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wayne.

      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney

    4. FISSH
      • 11 Years

      Siggy(C) atm :O

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Chadli

    6. Butters
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku

    7. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lamela

    8. Judas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero

    9. Domo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ADM

  7. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    play 3 from:

    Cahill
    Collocini
    PVA
    Clyne
    Chester

    currently on Clyne, PVA, Cahill

    am I right?

    1. BantamPhil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I'd pick those three

  8. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Chester or colocinii

  9. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ivano to Baines for a free one week pop?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      3 GWs too early for me.

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This. Getting hin in after Pool and United games

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Like I said...

        One week then back to Ivano

      3. Edmond
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You really think so Evs? I've been thinking to do Cahill -> Baines though still haven't come to a decision. Next 3 fixtures:

        Everton: CRY, liv, utd

        Chelsea: city, AVL, ARS

        I just feel that both have 2 tough fixtures, while palace at home is surely better than villa considering their early season form so far. Would you do it for a free transfer?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yep, Everton don't keep many cleanies and I can't see them keeping any in next 3.

          Jose may shut up shop v City. Get Baines after next 3 games.

          Just my opinion though, I could be well wrong 🙂 !

    2. emperikal
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Luxury move but could pay off

    3. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Never make a one week move.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Right it is finally set then...

        .Bego
        Duff. Clyne. Moreno
        Siggy. Sterling. DiMaria. Mirallas
        Rooney. Costa. Aguero

        1. Ser Football 42
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          benching Ivan

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ivan bye for now

  10. emperikal
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My team for the week:

    Krul
    Caulker - Pieters - PVA
    Fabregas - Sterling - Di Maria - Siggy
    Rooney (C) - Costa (vc) - Welbeck

    Foster - Clyne - Naylor - JWP

    1.0 ITB, 1 FT

    Only thing I'm concerned with is the order of my defenders. Have I got it right? Don't see Southampton or Swansea keeping a CS but also kind of hoping for a 0-0 in the QPR/Stoke match

  11. BantamPhil
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    No Mata in Demi's team news 🙁

    1. emperikal
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Last time I checked Demi isn't LVG 😉

      For what its worth I think he'll start and Falcao will get another sub appearance

      1. BantamPhil
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He is pretty accurate though, I would like to see RvP dropped

        1. emperikal
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That would be best case scenario even though I'm a huge RVP fan

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mark / Paul did it. Demi thinks Mata will start.

      1. BantamPhil
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Oh right, I hope Demi is right

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Me three !

    3. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Think he's right

    4. WINNING!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mata to play against Leicester!

  12. st4rt__
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    REPOST.

    Current starting defence for this - N Taylor - Pieters - PvA (Bench - Azpil & Clyne)

    Do I -

    A) Keep the FT for next week
    B) Dump either Taylor or Clyne for a more solid choice? I just can't see Swans getting a cleansheet. If so, who do I bring in?

  13. Jubilanus / BSC Small Boys …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    A) begovic (qpr)

    B) Krul (HUL)

    which one?

  14. Leone
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    M.Wilson (QPR)(A)
    Coloccini (HUL)(H)
    M.Taylor (SOU)(H)
    O'Shea (BUR)(A)

    Pick 2 to start

  15. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Should I give hazard one last chance before i swap him for costa ?? Or would i be punished by another costa brace. Not owning costa is so freakin hard

  16. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who'd you bench:

    Clyne (swa)
    or
    PvA (bur)

    ??

    1. ddp
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      PvA.

      Clyne has attacking threat

      1. emperikal
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        So does PVA and he's playing a lowly Burnley while Clyne is playing a tough Swansea team on the road

  17. ddp
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    who to captain this week?!

    a - Di Maria
    b - Costa
    c - Pelle
    d - Sterling
    e - Fabregas

    Am I also mad to bench Schneiderlin(SWA away) for any of the above?

    1. emperikal
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely not mad to bench a holding midfielder over a group of certified studs.

      Would consider Costa or Di Maria for the (C) out of that lot

      1. ddp
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's not holding anymore. Saints midfield is pushed up higher and he's now the main instegator along with Tadic. 3 Goals in last 2 games!

  18. trustmeimpurple
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Should i captain Rooney, Costa, Sterling, Siggy or Hazard?

    1. ddp
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Out of those I'd go Rooney

  19. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How many No Mata 😯 comments can we get when the team news comes out?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully it will be...

      No RVP 😯 instead 😉

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        As a neutral, it should be.

  20. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years

    JK, is it the same spreadsheet link and I just update my team, or is there a different spreadsheet altogether?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      It's the same link as last time

    Have any of the price change websites predicted changes accurately yet? Thanks

  22. Judas

    How is my WC team looking chaps?

    Forster, Gilks
    Clyne, Taylor, Wilson, Chambers, Moore
    Boyd, Di Maria, Sterling, Ramsey, Siggy
    Pelle, Aguero, Costa

    -Should I Di Maria, Sterling or Ramsey for Fabregas?

    1. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I did Ramsey for Fab

  23. st4rt__
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I think it's ridiculous that people aren't captaining Costa despite Chelsea having City, he's set the bar for himself already, I predict a brace and MOTM performance in a 3-1 win...

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If you're that confident, you should be overjoyed that people aren't starting him.

      I agree his form is second to none, but as has been pointed out to me, his upper ceiling for points is limited...

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If he's your captain and u think that then surely you want as few other people captaining him as possible...

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆 The intrinsic Oranje mindset!

        hahhaa u got found out mate

  24. Dago
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Rooney or Adebayor for Captain?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ade and I have both,

  25. The Ginga Ninja
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Just wondering is Schlupp nailed? Looking to bring in a Leicester defender for GW 7 and is he OOP?

    1. Alberto Tomba
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The easiest way to check that is to buy a membership and look at his average playing positions.
      I'd rather Moore though to save the cash.

  26. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Calling all Leicester fans.
    Which one is more likely to start?
    A. Hammond
    B. King

  27. Alberto Tomba
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm thinking of captaining Naismith over Aguero and the RMT tool is backing me up.

    I haven't seen Naismith play since the first two weeks though, is he a poo option?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Quite the opposite. Martinez has him playing at a level previously not thought possible.

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks Walsh, top FFSer too. He's kept the form then? He looked so sharp in the first two games.

  28. iCon

    Evening fellas,

    Moore or Wisdom first sub?

    Happy Friday BTW 😀

    1. Hurnt

      Moore just about

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, that's what I thought; slim pickings, eh?

  29. Hurnt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who to captain ?

    Please RMT also

    DDG

    N Taylor Lovren Peiters

    Hazard Erikson Sigurdsson ADM

    Aguero (c) Costa Naismith

    McCarthy Clyne Boyd Wisdom

  30. Jay_
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A: Welbeck AdM > Rooney and Chadli after this week or
      B: Welbeck Clyne > Naimsith Baines
      C: Clyne Welbeck> Chambers Pelle
      D: Stick

      Mccarthy Bego
      Moreno Bertrand Clyne Hutton Moore
      AdM Sterling Siggy Fab Boyd

      1. Judas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        C probably. Welbeck has been poor so far

        Im going Aguero i think
