We return from an FA Cup hiatus with an opening fixture that could easily make or break Gameweek 21 for many Fantasy managers.
An in-form Spurs, off the back of five straight victories, will host an equally buoyant West Brom with a cast of major assets on show.
Dele Alli is unquestionably the headline act.
Subject to more than 560,000 transfers in ahead of today’s deadline, there is huge expectation on his shoulders as he bids to maintain form that has seen him fire seven goals in his last four Gameweeks.
Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane look capable of overshadowing even Alli from their supporting roles.
But Kane has been a source of major frustration of late, blanking in his last three White Hart Lane encounters, including plum fixtures with both Burnley and Hull City.
In contrast, Eriksen has been a consistent force by his previous standards. Five double-figure returns from his last eight Gameweeks suggests that he will again be major figure in today’s Baggies clash.
West Brom have their own major Fantasy asset.
Matt Phillips has emerged as a key value target for our five-man midfields, notching seven assists and four goals in his last ten outings; he has been subject to more than 450,000 transfers in since Gameweek 19.
It remains to be seen if he can continue such form against a Spurs backline that has shipped just five goals in 10 home matches.
