Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs West Brom

Gameweek 35’s swansong finds Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion meet under lights at White Hart Lane. The former breezed past Manchester United and Stoke City in their past two matches, while the Baggies have lost four of their previous five fixtures.

Spurs’ rampaging attack ranks second for goals (11), total attempts (74), big chances (12) and shots on target (26) over their respective last four match-ups, highlighting their abundance of threat in the final third. Considering that Mauricio Pochettino’s side have chalked up a whopping 24 more shots on target than any team at home (136), the Baggies will do well to stop them scoring. On the other hand, Spurs will fancy their chances of earning a clean sheet having conceded just 13 big chances at the Lane all season.

Delving into the Baggies’ productivity away from The Hawthorns, they place second-bottom for goals (12) and sit last for attempts (140), shots inside the box (78) and shots on target (37). That being said, only three teams have recorded more clean sheets in road ties than West Brom (six), which suggests that Spurs could be in for a frustrating evening. Having posted four blank in five outings, Tony Pulis’ men are certain to bunker down in the capital.

    Mini league leader is 99 points ahead and set to have 11 dgw players with his FTs whereas I can have 10 dgw players with FTs

    We also both have Triple captain

    Do I still have a shot?

      Don't think so I'm afraid.

      Depends on how many are the same.

      1. DVassell
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Only 2 the same atm

          That's a decent start. Need to smash them this week as they can copy your team if they want.

      Only if you pick different TC and yours goes bonkers!!!

      Absolutely none if he knows what he's doing. 2% if he doesn't.

      Vardy gets a extra ban 20 minutes after Spurs blow 2 points. How convenient

    • Caravagio
      • 9 Years

      55 points this GW... done well with 10 players.. mannone turned out to be a masterstroke

      Coutinho + welbeck > Sturridge and 5.5 mid (debating loftus cheek or nor/sun mid for dgw?) -4?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Wait to see their CL starting lineup. Nothing to consider before then with Pool players.

    • Albert_Luque
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Anyone getting in any Chelsea mids for DGW37? Or are they a no go?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Willian maybe

      2. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        They'll be a great differential I suppose. It would have to be the day old Fabs or Hazard choice.

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

          I'm thinking Aguero + Mahrez out for Fabs + Sturridge in that week,real upside potential to it as a gamble. Haz is a bit too far as a price stretch.

      3. Smarty Pants
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Sanchez ➡ Hazard for one gameweek is tempting

      4. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Probably do KDB -> Hazard. Depends if I want Sturridge or not.

      5. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        may do kdb to fab in gw37, see how they both do at weekend first

    • That Was Easy!

      Early thoughts on my team, needing to hunt down my ML rival.

      DDG - (Henn)
      Clichy - Belle - Huth - (Dawson) - (Williams)
      Mane - Mahrez - Ozil - Sanchez - (Lanzini)
      Aguero - Kane - Defoe

      .3 ITB, 1 FT.

      Concerns are 1) no pool players, Clichy's lack of minutes, having a tough bench choice each week.

      Cheers, appreciate thoughts in advance!

      1. Invincibles
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Ozil > payet easily

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Ozil has been playing just as well as when he's been in the points, quite a huge differntial I'd say with such easy games to play.

        2. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          And to transfer him out before Norwich?

    • HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      10 of Defoe's 13 goals have come away form home.

      Crazy to bench him ?

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Captain material...

      2. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        You brought him in for a differential, Sunderland with everything to play for, let's play him.

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          good point. cheers

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I'd play him regardless. Stoke at the beach.

      4. I Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Stoke have conceded 12 in 3. Crazy to bench anyone against them right now.

      5. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        cheers all . just a small thought

    • DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      This is a crazy game. Didn't Alli get a couple of assists the other week and not get bonus? Tonight he does nothing and gets 2!

      1. Hanked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        There was only 1 goalscorer and no CS, it's all relative. Some weeks 22 gets you 3 bonus, some weeks 36 gets you none.

        1. DeadStarComing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          This is exactly why I don't like the bonus system.

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            no system is perfect, least we know where we stand with this one. Mind I still prefer the man in the stand one

    • Flynny
      • 9 Years

      With ban possible for alli...

      Any views on coutinho and alli to payet and willian -4?

        Wait for tuesday to see what happens with Pool's lineup / any injuries. William possibly, but I would prefer fabs is you can afford.

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

          Cheers...sadly Willian would be the only Chelsea player I can afford....

      2. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        wait till city and pool have played there midweek games, if you get injuries you will need your transfers

    • For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      If you had Martial now, would you keep him for the DGW?

      1. Invincibles
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Yep, great differential too

      2. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I dropped him. Carroll, Sturridge better options to me. Probably Defoe as well.

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Sturridge could be rotated

        I would

      4. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        if you already got him, may as well keep, utd still need to win games to try and get in top 4

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years

        Sell Coutinho

      2. I Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        I really think you should start Defoe against Stoke. Bench Mahrez or Alli.

        I'd sell Coutinho. Not sure who for. Lanzini perhaps.

    • I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Who would you rather have this week?

      A) Cresswell (wba)
      B) van Aanholt (stk)

      Will get the other one in for GW37. The leader of my ML owns PVA so I'm leaning towards Cresswell based on that. Right move?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        A

      2. Invincibles
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Cresswell, maybe PVA in 37

      3. Mark-O
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Yes

        1. I Member

      Sturridge or hazard for GW37?

      Will we see some people go Aguero/Kane > Sturridge if he doesn't start midweek?

      I'm looking to get rid of one of Aguero/Kane for Sturridge or Carroll.

      1. Mark-O
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Kun to Carroll

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Possibly, Kun has one easy game left and that's the potentially meaningless last game

      I am 67 points clear of the second place on my ML with $2,000 in play. I have TC available, would you use it on Alexis this upcoming week?

      I don't see any player on the DGW 37 to use it.

    • elcholo
      • 8 Years

      A few issues to patch up:

      DDG Robles
      Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Fuchs Kaboul
      KDB Sanchez Mahrez Lanzini Firmino
      Carroll Kane Aguero

      Is this the best option?
      KDB+Sakho -> Payet+Smalling-4

      Means I'm stuck with gabriel, and I just sold smalling last week, but still..
