Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Fulham

Gameweek 35 is upon us, with an early kick-off at White Hart Lane easing us into five further Saturday Premier League clashes.

Fulham pay visit to north London desperate for points but having won back-to-back matches for only the second time this season. Tim Sherwood’s men will provide a stern test, fresh from clawing back a three-goal deficit at the Hawthorns, as they continue an unlikely quest for Champions League qualification.

With two shaky defences on show, goals look guaranteed and our Fantasy interest is firmly focused on Tottenham’s attacking assets. Christian Eriksen is the undoubted star-turn, having registered four goals and three assists in his last four league starts: only Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard has earned more investment than the Dane from Fantasy Premier League managers this week.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up your real-time reaction to this and today’s other matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.
