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.

    Rose assist?

    I was 95% sure Coutinho was going to be rested but still, like quite a few, got rid of Payet instead for Alli. Really regretting that now.

    1. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      At least you have Alli...

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    1. Bubz

    Just noticed that almost everyone has captained Kane, thought it was 50/50 Aguero

  6. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Doos loves Eriksen

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yep he does

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    As a Kane non-owner I've never been so scared of a player in my life

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      I was scared of Davie Dodds back in the day.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      I own him and the crap is running down my leg with every touch he gets i genuinely feel for you right now

    4. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      I brought him in and capped but ML rival has TC'd.

      Horrible

    Congratulations Olsson owners on your CS.....

  10. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Those TC Kaners must be really regretting it right now

    1. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yep, WBA are hammering Spurs.

  11. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    This better not be an "if only" game 🙄

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      They are are all an if only game. Unless you are Sharon and just leave it alone.

  12. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Kane scores them 9 times out of 10. Think it may be a sign of a frustrating night for us owners.

  13. A.T
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    It's got 0-0 written all over it 😀

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Only currently in the left hand corner....

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      agree

  14. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Just assumed that Kane was scoring there.

  15. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    West Brom in the Spurs half and asking the bench for a map.....

  16. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Pullis is a genius, he's absolutley stumped Pochettino today, fair play to the man!

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Less than twenty minutes played.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      No-one could see this coming. Fair play to Tony.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      You know the Busdriver ?

    4. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Diego Simeone is a poor mans Pulis

  17. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    I have grown a few extra grey hairs since this kicked off

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    The definition of parking the bus today. The whole team playing as defenders

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Aint seen the Busdriver tonight , guess they roped him in also

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Cant see spurs getting through here

  20. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years

    Wish I had a time machine, I'd have done Lloris to Myhill

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years

      😀

  21. Nicks93

    1st time owning Alli this season, hope he doesnt let me down

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      same

  22. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    This is going to be one of those nights. Brought in Rose, Alli and Kane. Kane captain. So far this has happened:

    - Kane misses a sitter after an Alli pass
    - Eriksen hits the crossbar on a Rose-freekick

    I bet this list will be long by the end of the night...

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Kane didn't "miss a sitter". Keeper pulled off a great save.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Just look at your points at the end of the game.

      "If" is meaningless

  23. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Kanes on fire!

    Some comment trying to jinx something

  27. Danstoke82

    Cmon Harry FFS. Please.

  28. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years

    Myhill clearly TC himself as a differential.

  29. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years

    Good save from Joe Ledley

    People wonder why Leicester are top and Spurs aren't, this is exactly why, Spurs just can't get that goal when it truly matters.

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      What? haha, it's 20 minutes in

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Spurs' slow start is the reason Leicester are above them
