The Numbers Game – Tottenham Hotspur

Next up in our summer series of members’ articles, we move to focus on one of the key sources of Fantasy talent – Tottenham Hotspur.

We start by analysing their performance on a team level, assessing last season’s data in order to spot trends and areas improvement. Following that, we drill down into the player data, pinpointing the key individuals.

For this article, we also focus on two specific points of interest for Fantasy managers – assessing the Dele Alli versus Christian Eriksen conundrum, while weighing up the allure of Harry Kane as a “fire and forget” captaincy option.

It’s fair to say that Mauricio Pochettino’s side showed their mettle last season after a disastrous end to 2015/16 saw them pick up two points in the final four fixtures and tumble out of the title race.

Spurs improved their points haul from 70 to 86 and also scored far more goals than beforehand – a total of 86 was far superior to 69 in the previous campaign and more than any team in the top-flight.

        Haha any suggestions? If Milner had been classified as a defender last season he would have been the highest scoring defender - so I figure he is good value. Tripper seems a good steal aswell. And having a Southampton defender seemed good for their good early run of fixtures..

      Absolutely not.

  7. Captain Haddock

    Justin Gatlin is an absolute bargain at 7.5. And so much overlooked..

    The household names just keep coming with the Arsenal lineups. World class in every position. Elneny, Nelson, Iwobi, Xhaka, Welbeck, Chambers. Reminds me of that side with Henry, Bergkamp, Overmars, Veiera, Petite, Pires.
