Scouting The Doubles – Tottenham

Tottenham’s quest to muscle their way into a top four berth sees them welcoming a buoyant Swansea City side to the Lane on Wednesday, before making the short trip across the capital to face Queen Park Rangers in their second match of Gameweek 28. While there’s doubtless a couple of standout candidates for Spurs coverage in their double, the north London club’s recent exploits in domestic and European cups raises one or two questions regarding rotation.

The Prospects

First up for Tottenham is a match-up with the Swans on Wednesday evening. The visitors’ form has fluctuated in their previous 10 outings, yet back-to-back victories – which included the Welsh outfit’s first ever double over Manchester United – means Garry Monk’s side enter this clash in high spirits. Furthermore, they’ve recorded wins and clean sheets in two of their previous three road matches, shutting out Southampton and Burnley.

That being said, inspecting the underlying stats from their victory over Burnley suggests they aren’t dominating matches, with Swansea scraping the win through a Kieran Trippier own goal, having only fashioned two attempts on goal. In the wake of Wilfried Bony’s transfer to Manchester City and Bafetimbi Gomis’ sporadic attacking returns, Ki Sung-Yeung has emerged as an unlikely goal threat, registering two goals in his previous four starts. Considering Tottenham are without a clean sheet in their last four home ties, the South Korean midfielder will fancy his chances to build on a five-goal haul this term.

Spurs close out a testing run of four matches within the space of 10 days when they visit London rivals QPR on Saturday afternoon. R’s boss Chris Ramsey will hope to avoid a repeat of the reverse fixture, in which Tottenham humbled the Hoops 4-0 at the Lane. Charlie Austin, who’s scored six in his last nine appearances, will be central to the hosts’ desire to enact revenge.

The Likely Lads

Having netted 12 times in his last 11 league starts, Harry Kane is the form player of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) by some margin. Despite a fixture pile-up complicating matters, the 6.2-priced Kane remains an essential pick – however, bearing in mind that he’s the most popular player in the FPL by some distance (45% ownership), it’s likely that our additional coverage for the double could be key to making a difference.

After starting 34 consecutive league matches, Christian Eriksen (8.4) dropped to the bench for the trip to West Ham, with his manager clearly having one eye on the Capital One Cup Final. With Spurs now out of the Europa League and looking to bounce back from their loss to Chelsea, though, can Pochettino really afford to rest Eriksen as he looks to finish the season strongly? This hot topic by Jonty on Eriksen’s prospects is certainly worth a read.

Intriguingly, it’s worth noting that Eriksen has never gone more than three matches without finding the net this season – food for thought, given that’s he’s failed to notch in his last trio of appearances. With six sets of double figures already accrued and an average of 4.8 points per appearance, the Dane’s potential is obvious – little wonder over 80,000 have already snapped him up this week.

With uncertainty surrounding the other spots in midfield and the Spurs defence far from impressive, it could be argued that, aside from Kane and Eriksen, any other option looks no more than a punt. For those eyeing up the Spurs defence, Hugo Lloris (5.6) is nailed-on and has been the best points scorer, boasting an average (3.7) that surpasses that of Danny Rose (3.4) and Jan Vertonghen (2.9). This can primarily be attributed to his propensity for picking up save points, having made at least three saves in nine of his last 10 outings. Six clean sheets for the campaign hardly inspires confidence, yet QPR’s inability to score in three of their four home encounters increases the chances of a shut-out.

The Cheeky Punt

As highlighted by Ludo’s recent community article on Navigating the Spurs double Gameweek, rotation is a concern here and limits our reliable options. If you’re willing to roll the dice, though, Mousa Dembele (5.2) looked to have generated some momentum recently – with one goal and two assists in three outings – before he was hauled off at half time against West Ham following a wretched 45 minutes. Named amongst the subs yesterday, he has, nonetheless, started each of the last seven Premier League outings, whereas Nacer Chadli has failed to feature in the first XI in the league since Gameweek 22, at a time where Erik Lamela has started each of the last four. Chadli’s reinstatement to the first-team for yesterday’s loss to Chelsea perhaps hints at increased pitch time but, despite an impressive 4.6 points per appearance (Eriksen has 4.8), there’s no doubt he remains a real risky prospect in terms of guaranteed pitch time judging by recent team sheets.

Danny Rose has been an unlikely source of attacking returns in recent weeks. The left-back has started each of the last seven and tallied two goals over that period and, at 4.9, the former Leeds full-back is one of the cheaper routes into Spurs’ back line. Rose should be less prone to rotation than others, having been rested for their Europa League clash against Fiorentina, but Pochettino could still hand Ben Davies a start, thus slightly denting his prospects in spite of his recent form.

Jan Vertonghen looks the most likely defender to play from start to finish in both encounters, though the downside is that his form isn’t on par with Rose. While Eric Dier and Federico Fazio have shared centre-back duties, the Belgian international has completed Spurs’ last 15 league matches and scored in Gameweek 22. Potential investors will have to weigh up whether his 5.9 price tag is justified, though, considering the wealth of superior alternatives in that price bracket beyond the double Gameweek.

    Worth bringing in vertongen for -4?

      if you can afford and will keep after, yes

        Would you want him long term? Not sure he's worth the money myself

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          no maybe not but medium term perhaps, fixtures are good, so would easily pay back the -4 even if he failed the dgw.... just my opinion

            Yeah ofc, i'm not having a go 🙂

            I just find it hard to justify the outlay when i compare him to Rose. Especially over the medium/long term

              Davies will play one of the DGW games trust me.

      For who? not worth it unless he beats the pkayer you are selling him for by 4 points, surely

  2. Captain Haddock

    Repost.

    Current midfield:

    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Özil, Boyd.

    Having 1FT.

    Should I:

    A) Özil --> Eriksen
    B) Sanchez (selling price 10.9) --> Eriksen
    C) Save FT.

    Özil would be easy to get back if needed, Sanchez would not.

    Thank you

    Need to lose one of Sanchez or Giroud to get in at least 3 DGWers. Which one do?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Gru

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      To get who?

      1. Not Irish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Just say no.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Eriksen and Austin. Can ship Downing out if keeping Sanchez.

        1. Revival

          Eriksen is the one I'd want most. Preferably not for Sanchez, but needs must.

    4. Tansey
      • 9 Years

      I started GW8, bought 3 Southampton defenders and they got 4 clean sheets in a row 😀

  5. Tansey
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sell Hazard for Eriksen? Not sure if it's worth selling him and then buying him back after the gameweek if Eriksen might not even bring home points....

    1. copps
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      who else could you sell?

      1. Tansey
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sanchez or Silva, but with Silva's fixture this week I don't think selling him's a good idea.

        1. copps
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          must be another as well surely?

          1. Tansey
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I don't have enough to buy him if I sell Henderson or Downing, I only have 0.1 in the bank. 🙁

            1. copps
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              i think selling any of hazard, sanchez or silva is bad. if you really want to, just sell sanchez or hazard. but i wouldnt. maybe a punt on downing to chadli instead? pretty risky though... eriksen will have high ownership.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The other four mids?

      1. Tansey
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Silva, Downing, Henderson, Sanchez

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I would go Downing > Eriksen but I assume you can't afford it.

          1. Tansey
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Nope 🙁 I think I'll just go for it, I fancy Eriksen's chances with two games over Hazard playing WHU away. Thanks

              • 13 Years

              hammers are in very poor form right now, one of the worst i think

              1. Tansey
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah... I can't sell Downing for Chadli, I got Downing for 6.1 so I'm 0.1 short. As bad as WHU are doing I don't know if I'd buy any other mid for 6.2 than him, I should prob hold on to the transfer. Thanks

        2. Ed
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Downing + Hendo > Eriksen + Cheapie

    So we will get to see team sheets for the Tuesday matches before the deadline again, right?

    Thankfully that will help answer my defender questions instead of making me chase windmills because of my attack this time.

    1. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years

      yes we will

    2. Not Irish
      • 11 Years

      Yes. Same for me. PvA starting would be clutch.

      1. tm245

        Yep, and that will help me figure out if I am wasting a transfer on Baird or not.

        Potentially in the future. Not before QPR however.

    3. Tex
      • 10 Years

      Probably lean towards selling Hutton. He's one yellow off 2 match ban, and if his side win in Cup he'dpossibly have a blank week 33.

    for me, bringing in Austin means a -4 and Cazorla on the bench.

    also, it means I would have to pick one of him, silva or cazorla for the bench the week after

    is it worth it for me or am I over-complicating it by getting him?

          Nah, i'd just go for it. It's a big IF that he's injured. Live a little, i do early transfers every week.

    SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 26 RESULTS

    Said I'd have it done by this evening and I've managed it! I'll post Scout Picks Challenge entries very shortly but for now, here's GW26 results (GW27 will be up very soon - probably tomorrow);

    1st - Chickenwithpeas (58pts)
    2nd - IanP1970 (57pts)
    3rd - Holmes (52pts)

    Well done to all three of you! We had DarkGreen behind on a close 50pts, bit unlucky not to be in the points! Now, as for bonus points, the FFS Scout Picks & Differentials scored 49 pts, and thus the following have bonus points this GW;

    Chickenwithpeas, IanP1970, Holmes and DarkGreen.

    Special mention to Aliminator and Mookie - both DREW with the combined total and missed out on the bonus point!

    At the top things are steady, with a lot of movement down below. So the rankings remain as;

    1st - FFS Scout (19pts)
    2nd - Mookie (16pts)
    3rd - Aliminator & Sticky Mockwell (9pts)

    Until tomorrow night when I'm posting again folks...!

    Why is 5% only Erikson?
    Am I missing something?
    I personally, think Kane will blank so..

    1. Tex
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you think he'll blank then don't captain him. But he's been Spurs best bet for goals and appears to be standout option for captain. Eriksen may be the better pick, but right now the likelier option to score big is probably Kane

  19. ViperStripes

    Sturridge > Austin for a hit?

    Was hoping Sturridge would be playing 90 mins by now.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He played 90 in europa league thats all.

      Granville is so glum. Makes me sad.

        Can someone post the league code for the contributors league, so we can see the teams as they're discussed? Cheers

      Entertaining stuff, gentleman. Love the hangout format.

  21. englandwins

    Forster - (Hamer)
    Terry - Bellerin - Bertrand - Dawson? - (Wisdom)
    Caz - Sanchez - Hazard (VC) - Eriksen - (Blind)
    Aguero (C) - Kane - Austin

    All defenders have a good clean sheet potential.
    Is Terry, Bell, Bert the way to go?
    Thanks!

  22. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Play Bellerin or C.Dawson? Motivate

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin. Great form, attacking threat, better team.

    3. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cawson

  23. Seminole
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    OK quick tactical question:
    Protecting an 84 point lead in my cash ML. Don't care about overall rank, just want the money. Both people chasing me have Rose while I've gotten stuck with Clichy who can't seem to get a game.

    Worth a hit to bring in Rose (for the long term) to negate a possible differential? If he goes off this DGW it hurts quite a bit, but if he blanks we are all in the same boat and I like that.

    1. ol
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds like a good plan to stop your rivals catching you.

    2. drughi
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You're to nervous, those 84 points will vanish if you stop playing your own game

      1. Seminole
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not trying to match them up entirely, just this one case and I want to be rid of Clichy anyway. Appreciate the input though. Trying not to play too defensive (pun intended).

  24. Not Irish
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Those of you with double or triple Spurs and Austin will need to outscore those of us with just Kane and/or Eriksen by how much to justify those moves?

    I'm thinking 20.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kun will out score them all

      1. Neto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        i'm with you on this one

        1. Not Irish
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not Kane.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I agree, Kane won't outscore KUN either

    2. Lucy.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And it wouldn't be the first time you've been wrong.

      1. Not Irish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Do you really wanna go there, dear? 😀

  25. BIG TONES
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Been away for a couple of days. Is there a consensus on Giroud > Austin being a good idea or not?

    Cheers

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Oh dear, here we go again

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not for a hit. Probably just no Giroud could easily outscore him

  26. Arsenal USA FC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which change should I do?

    A) Giroud -> Austin
    B) Sterling -> Eriksen
    C) Both A & B
    D) Another Option
    ____________________________

    1. royals forever

      Kane

    2. copps

      has to be kane

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Judging by the three previous games: Kane

  28. GarethJohn
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    hows m,y team looking for this GW?
    Surely Clichy will start??

    Panti

    Clyne-Bertrand-Clichy

    Eriksen-Hazard-Calorza-Silva

    Kun-Austin-Kane(C)

    Bench: Kruel-Bellerin-Naughton-Ki Sung

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bellerin instead of Clichy

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Lost on last page

    Help is required on this

    Is this worth a 4pt hit

    Azpiculieta > Vertonghen
    Defoe > Austin

    &

    Which 2 shall I play out of

    Jones, Bellerin and Clyne

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Honeyman07 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not sure about either more sure about Vert... Austin playing Arsenal and Spurs so likely to get nout against Arsenal and one if he is lucky against Spurs so no. Oh Bellerin and Clyne...

  30. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth me taking an extra hit to get a Spurs def?
    Back 5 are
    Terry, Kos, Fonte, (Wollscheid), (PVA)

    1. copps
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      no its fine

    2. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No point. Vertonghen is the only only likely to play 180 mins and he isn't worth the outlay

    3. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      no imo

    4. FPL Blow-In
