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.

        Alli unleashed fury on him. Picture a Mortal Kombat finishing move.

          At one point it looked like he was going to bodyslam poor Yacob to the ground and submit him with a rear naked choke.

            Incredible to witness.

            I think he held him up and encouraged Dembele to do the Rikishi arse reverse into him, but to his credit, Moussa refused to take part.

    Ronka resisted Kane, brought in Dawson, he is a genius

    1. THAT'S LIFE
      • 10 Years

      or the greatest unsussed hacker on the planet

    2. Backup Dancer
      • 9 Years

      He brought Dawson in for the double but yeah, good call.

    Kane ended up on -1 bps !

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      GW6 and GW21 on -1bps
      GW7 (1 goal) and GW22 (1 goal 1 assist)

      GW35 on -1bps. If you know what I mean 😆

  5. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I took a hit for Alli and Kane (c) so that I could bench Dawson 😆

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Do you get Dawson anyway because of Sakho etc?

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Nope, last week's hit made sure of that! All of my players turned up - the complete sods!

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Oh dear that's unlucky, can you lend the Dawson benching to me? I don't have a single defender 😆

      • 15 Years

      I did similar, but somehow came out a whole point better off thanks to having no bench. ...and no dawson.

      Mind you I'm actually more excited about the prospect of Lei claiming the title at the weekend than fpl at the moment.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, that's buoyed my evening - I was hoping for a high scoring WBA win so that my FPL team could flourish too but you can't have everything 🙂

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Did EXACTLY the same as well.
      This game huh.

  6. Slam
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    If you could bring in any striker other than Aguero, who would it be?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Sturridge

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Carroll

    3. VS10_
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Sturridge if he doesn't start on Thursday. Otherwise Defoe or Carroll.

      1. Hanked
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Why wouldn't he play on Thursday?

    4. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      ulloa caroll

    5. Suarezista
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Sturridge, if he doesn't start on Thursday.

    Aguero to get rested in midweek ?

    Curious to know how many times he has been rested before a mid week cl game

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Could be rested depending on score in 1st leg for the weekend.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Eh? They play CL midweek

  9. Lizard Lips
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    So they score 3 against United, 4 against Stoke when we don't have them, then only 1 against WBA when we get them back. Hate this game.

      In a week when I needed them most too 🙁

    Danny Rose becomes the first player this season to get a bonus point on 19 BPS. Criag Dawson did weird things to todays bonus payouts.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Is Eriksen on for any baps?

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        3 I believe.

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        maximum 3 by the looks of it.

      2. Rhinos
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        3 🙂

          Yippeee!!!

          Thanks all.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Eriksen looks to become the lowest BPS score this season to get 3 bonus points and Alli the lowest BPS score to be awarded 2 bonus points.

  11. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    FFFix projected rank 9999 😯

    I would love to finish the season on that rank! 😀

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years

      id prefer 9998

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

    As a alli owner, would be nice if he gets banned, then i could actually get a player who is not owned by 70% in top 10k

  15. Gazj11

    Just out of interest. Would Dawson have got bonus points if he hadn't of scored the OG?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Easily. 0-1 WBA changes things.

      1. Gazj11
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        If it were 1-1 but say Vertonghen had scored?

        • 9 Years

        KDB might start this week though having had a rest last game.

        1. Gizzachance
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          i think kdb will get game time this week plenty of time after madrid game, still few days rest before 2nd leg

        2. I Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Silva definitely won't start against SOT but I'm worried about Sterling. Could be him and Navas/Nasri with Kelechi keeping his place.

          1. Gizzachance
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            dont think kun will be benched,{less gametime} city still need to get that top 4 place, sterling must be due some gametime though

      2. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years

      Sakho, he won't play again this season by the look of it.

      Sakho as he is 100% out

      Gab prob 90% out

      Delaney 90% to play

        Cheers boys. Was hoping for some concrete news on sakho. I guess the silence is telling.

      No need to do that tonight. None of those are moving in price.

      Why tonight? He's nowhere near a price rise.

      A: just use gabriel as bench fodder, not much value tied up in him

    leicester deserve their success but i reckon theyve definately been helped by their narrative. Look at the effort West Brom put into hindering Spurs. Swansea might as well have played with a beech ball.
    Subconciously at least i reckon most of the league want Leicester to win

      Subconsciously, the key word

      Did you see the way Stoke played against Spurs? There are just some very poor sides at the moment.

      The fact that Guidolin is off at the end of the season and Swansea are now safe affects their desire versus a team who are striving to make history

      The first point about West Brom trying harder I think that is true . I think the second point is way off Swansea have been poor this season . Gomis is their main striker and he has scored 5 goals and four of them were in the first four weeks . Ayew has eight goals but he has only two goals since Christmas .

      West Brom always put a lot of effort, especially away from home. Swansea were beaten by Leicester 0-3 at HOME in the middle of the season when they had an awful lot to play for.
      So why is a 4-0 defeat away from home when they have nothing to play for anymore even suprising?

      Leciester simply deserve it - they have been the most consistent team this season.
