Having relinquished leads in their last two league ties, Tottenham Hotspur chase a morale-boosting victory over Everton on home turf in today’s tea-time encounter. The Toffees, meanwhile, were outclassed by a superior Manchester City side but will take heart from their dominance over Southampton in a 3-0 win on their first road trip.

Spurs rank sixth for shots inside the box (27) and big chances (six) this season but suffer from a poor shot conversion rate (7.3%). Of more concern to Mauricio Pochettino, his troops still haven’t discovered that optimum balance between attack and defence, given that they rank joint-fourth with regards to big chances conceded (six).

Despite netting five goals this term, Everton have chalked up just ten shots on target, so there’s certainly scope for the Merseysiders to improve on the attacking front. On the flipside, they’ve only conceded two big chances against Watford, Saints and Man City, which suggests Spurs’ forward line are in for a challenging contest.

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

          10 years, 6 months ago

          Sorry, you just seemed to be asking over and over again and I was beginning to not notice the subtle differences. I'm pleased your question led to Demi's pointing out there had been a minor update though. 🙂

    2 FT, 0.5m itb

    Butland - McCarthy
    Gomez - Darmian - Williams - Richards - Kolarov
    Chadli - Payet - Mahrez - Sanchez - Silva
    Gomis - Aguero - Watmore

    thinking of getting in Wilson and Westwood to go into a 343 and debating who to sell in mid along with Watmore

    A) Chadli
    B) Payet
    C) Mahrez

    leaning B since he's not a goalscoring mid

    1. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Payet

    2. TRIMM-TRABB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd agree with B - considering the same move in a similar team

  6. jozycabral
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    1. 50 Shades Oshea

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He was only ill, so should be back next GW.

  7. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years

    Everton could nick this.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hope not

  8. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry but I can't abide people coming on here pretending they don't know the terrible average and yet post "Is 40 with 4 to play decent?" Right, pass me the rum..

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      If you're referring to me, I popped on having got back from a football match (Burton woo) so I legit didn't know!

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Wasn't mate. Just in general! Mire annoyed at my own score tbf

  10. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Hi.....any views on this wildcard team please?...

    Schmeichal McCarthy
    Kolarov Evans (wba) francis ward Richards
    Pedro Silva Sanchez lens Westwood
    Kun Wilson gomis

    How's that looking?

    1. ZTF
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Redmond for Lens. Sinclair for Westwood.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    We're actually pretty shite at this game aren't we? Who are we kidding, they are not casuals, they just don't over think things 😉

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I am brilliant at this game.

      My 3 million OR is a lie!

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Aye. My advice is to forget all about OR and concentrate just on mini leagues. It makes taking hits a lot more user friendly and makes the whole game less demoralising. OR is like a slow torture.

    3. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      lets see at the end of the season but so far your right there

    4. ManofKent

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years

      Can I have some?

  14. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Krul is the third highest scoring keeper after what was supposed to be their nightmare start. We may as well just stick a pin in when choosing our keepers.

      Rekindling the glorious Season a couple of years back ...

    2. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It is always the case with keepers. No correlation between price and total score. But that does not make it any easier to pick the right one...

  15. Spencer

    Feels like I'm the only one who didn't get Wilson back in. ðŸ™

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      He's my only shining light

  16. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is Wilson set to rise tonight? Would it be a better idea to wait for the results of Saints' fixture tomorrow to ship Pelle out for him? :/

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How many FPL players does it take to change a light bulb?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      2.5 million

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      None.

      Our rooms our lit by our monitors as we stare for hours at our FPL teams.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      We don't change light bulbs, that is knee jerking. We show faith that eventually they will light up again. Or we just wildcard and move house.

  18. the cromulent one
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    This game really needs a red card or two...

  19. Royal5

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Him winning motm and not fetting anything is even more worrying

  22. maltasi

    Funny old game football isn't it!

    Who'd have thought that after only 4 matches, the reigning champions are EIGHT points off the leaders?

    That Man Utd and Liverpool would have only scored twice. That Aguero would have 1 goal, Hazard Rooney and Kane none at all.

    That 66% of Arsenal's small tally of 3 goals would be scored by their opponents.

    That only 7 of the 37 matches so far would have resulted in home wins.

    That Leicester would have got 8 points..yes I know they finished last season strongly but most thought Ranieri a strange appointment!

    That neither Stoke, Southampton or Spurs, all fancied for the top 8, would have failed to win so far.

    That Chelsea wouldn't have won at home.

    That the highest placed of the promoted sides would be the one who failed to go up automatically.

    Let's hope things settle down soon, for the sake of us FF players!

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years

      ++++++++++++++++1

  23. HNI
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Which one is better
    1) WC + Sanchez(Stoke) + Benteke(mun) + 0.4million
    2) Hold WC + Ozil(Stoke) + Mane(wba) + hit of (-4) for remaining similar team

  24. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is pedro still protected? Not sure if his price will go up tonight?

  25. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    As a Kane owner, I'm feeling robbed of at least 10 pts by this game.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Because he cant finish this season?

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You still a Kane owner shows you are a fearless man any dare rob!

  26. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Eric Dire.

  27. legendaryjordan
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Barclay looks really positive.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      They are a great bank.

  28. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who got bonus points in the Arsenal game?

  29. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Can't wait to trigger this wildcard. At least it'll keep me busy over the international break..
