Tottenham entertain fierce rivals West Ham in Sunday’s midday kick off, offering Fantasy managers an opportunity to scout potential candidates for the Lilywhites’ upcoming double Gameweek 28.

Harry Kane – who’s only failed to score in two of his last 10 starts for Spurs – remains the most popular forward in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and ranked fourth in our Captain Poll this week. Meanwhile, only Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez (12) has scored more goals from midfield than Christian Eriksen’s nine thus far – the Dane drops to the bench today, however. Moussa Dembele is also on one or two radars as a possible budget midfield prospect after serving up a goal and two assists in the last three Gameweeks.

Sam Allardyce’s men will go in search of their first league win away from Upton Park since Gameweek 14, as defensive duo Winston Reid and James Collins return from injury. In the wake of Andy Caroll’s season-ending surgery, Diafro Sakho (one goal in last seven appearances) and Enner Valencia (without a goal in 13 outings) shoulder most of the goalscoring burden, and will be encouraged by the fact that Tottenham have managed just two shut-outs in the last 10 Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Stewart Downing’s ownership will want more from the 30-year-old midfielder: he’s tallied just one goal and a single assist in his last eight outings.

    Who has better chances of playing both DGW matches: Dier or Rose ?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      rose

    2. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rose is first-choice LB for Premierleague

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        thank you both !

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rose /Davies
      Dier/Fazio

      Hard to tell. Vert seems to be the only nailed on defender.

    4. Chris.R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rose, but I doubt spurs will get a cleanie in either game

  6. Bartowski
    • 15 Years

    As a Danny Rose owner, I'm pretty happy with that...

    1. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      why

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      As a non Danny Rose owner I am very jealous and secretly hate you 😉

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        not a secret anymore.

  7. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Roseeeeeeee

  8. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I've always liked that Danny Rose.

  9. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Not taking a -8 for Rose.

  10. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    feck come on kane

  14. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I was planning to bring Rose in on the DGW, but someone told me Davies would also get some minutes, is that correct?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Possible.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Quite probable.

    2. Chris.R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be more concerned about the probability that spurs will concede in both

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Could be,
        Maybe get Dawson instead? Some decent fixtures ahead

        1. Chris.R
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Could do, esp if you dont have WBA cover. Otherwise pick someone who rotates well with your other defs

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Had Wisdom but sold him to Naughton

            Terry Clyne PVA Naughton (Cresswell)

            Playing Terry and Clyne almost all the time gives me a rotation between Naughton Dawson and PVA

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  15. eish
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    spurs for the win!

  16. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    That's his goal for the season

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2nd goal.

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Except its not his only goal this season....

    3. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      3rd in all comps.

  17. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Was waiting on Cresswell off the bench, too. Gutted.

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benched him for PVA & rival has him.

      Losing the CS makes it a bit easier to live with that choice.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He's coming on for Walcott for me.

  18. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    come on Kane time to shine!

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Adrian what a save 😯

  20. Malkmus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    For 1 week punt Defoe to

    A - giroud
    B - Rooney

    They will be Austin for the dgw. Ta

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      b if RVP is out

      1. Malkmus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Good shout. Maybe cap as well with pens

  21. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sundial denied

  22. JWF
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    This is a very Spurs-type performance from West Ham. Should be home and dry but end up clinging on.

  23. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone bringing Rose in for the DGW then?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No, 'coz he'll likely only play one game.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Hes played pretty much every game this season when fit

      2. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He should play both

    3. Chris.R
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      nope, spurs dont often get cleanies, let alone after that packed fixture list

  24. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everton and over 1.5 in Southampton v lpool ??

  25. Jernau M Gurgeh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    WHU favorite formation : 9-1-0

  26. eish
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    spurs to lose draw or win?

    1. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      lose

  27. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why didn't Eriksen start the match...do we know?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rested after Europa League and brought on in panic at half time

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        They really need to think long and hard about resting him if they want any chance of a CL spot.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          They are going to have to make a decision on whether they want to get Champions League through the Europa League or Prem . Would you go from Europa , Prem or both

  28. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lamela, awful flick and then a fowl.

    1. Heydudes13

      2. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
