Just one game today. However, judging by the final results of our Captain’s Poll there may be a lot riding on this for a lot of Fantasy Managers out there – yours truly included. The Dugout Discussion welcomes Spurs and QPR to their technical areas…

Spurs XI: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

QPR XI: Kenny; Young, Hall, Ferdinand, Traore; Barton, Faurlin, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt; Helguson

Tottenham make just one change from the side which won at Blackburn last week with Ledley King returning to the fray in place of Sebastian Bassong with QPR following suit in the single change stakes. Armand Traore returns in place of Clint Hill.

Then, when this tie is said and done, we go back to our lives and wait for Monday’s bonus point haul and Stoke playing host to Newcastle in the final fixture of the gameweek tomorrow evening.

            I've had him for five and naturally that's coincided with no goals from him. There are only 3 forward spots and I cant afford to have one player sitting there who can't score and doesn't look like scoring.

            Let's hope he gets better second half.

    I may actually take nothing more from VDV than 3 BPs (6). With 6 to hopefully come from RVP it'll be another 12 coming my way.

    Or, we could be greedy and ask for another goal or an assist from him.

    So glad I've had VDV & RVP for the last 4 weeks... not being smug or anything...

    QPR are the most inconsistent team in the league. Hammered by Bolton, beat Everton at Goodison, beat Chelsea then play appallingly against Spurs.

    Spurs look quite the unit. A right mid and a left back and that team could go places, not to mention they're not even playing one of the finer defensive mids in the league, Sandro.
