Gameweek 26’s last hurrah has the potential to cause huge waves on the Fantasy landscape, given that the last five league meetings between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur harvested 23 goals. The Sky Blues are licking their wounds in the wake of a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City, while Spurs will attempt to record their fifth successive victory.

Tottenham were the league’s standout attacking force over the previous four Gameweeks, tallying the most goals (11), attempts (92), shots inside the box (54) and shots on target (36). They’ve typically excelled on their travels this term, too, ranking third for goals scored (22) and top for accurate shots (70). At the other end of the pitch, Spurs chart second-bottom for shots inside the box allowed (17) and joint-bottom for big chances conceded (three) since Gameweek 22.

Notwithstanding their disappointing display against the Foxes, Man City ranked fourth for goals (eight), joint-third for attempts (62), joint-third for shots inside the box (39) and fourth for shot-conversion rate (12.9%) over the last four Gameweeks. From a defensive perspective, Spurs will be heartened by the fact that only three teams conceded more big chances (seven) than Manuel Pellegrini’s charges during that period.

    Whats with the referees today? Thats why they need video replays, obviously FIFA will never allow it.

    1. Sess!

      10 years, 2 months ago

      ...to think that was given and Rooney one wasn't yesterday. No consistency.

    2. Old Man

      Hear hear!!!

    3. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      all pen decisions must be replayed and if incorrect the other side gets a free kick

    4. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      it should only take 20-30 secs to rewatch.. goal kicks can take longer than that

  2. Baby Face Nelson
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Shocking decision

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Absolute disgrace!

  3. Jay_
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ref to get a little whisper in his ear saying wrong call, even it up

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Was just thinking the same

      2. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        A Kun penalty would be amazing right now

      3. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I suspect the penalty was given for not booking Yaya. Refs love trying to make up for their mistakes.

        1. RÏɠBY
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          if that was true.. it would be severely lopsided

    • ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      Come on Aguero...

    • Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Alli looking dangerous? Both my rivals benched him...

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Nope

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          🙁

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Not really, but City have played very deep. Should open up after the goal.

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

        Not really. Joe Hart as bored as we are...

      As a Rose and Aguero(c) owner I don't know what I want right now.

      1. Boydinho
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Kun hatty?

        1. KOLASINA(C)
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Not gonna happen

          1. Boydinho
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            didn''t say that

        • 16 Years

        Rose off then Aguero goals obviously.

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        An Aguero goal

      4. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Why did I bench Rose? 😉

      5. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        A Kun brace and 3BAPS obviously. You got your assist locked in for Rose

      6. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        did u play rose? i benched his arse got fed up w/ his rotation

    • JayBomb
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Changed captaincy from Kane to Sanchez last minute, on the plus side stuck a €10 on Kane to score first!

    • pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That decision to keep kane and sell Lukaku 4 or 5 gws ago has worked out very well. 😀

      Something to cheer about.

    • Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool team scored 100 today!

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Only 6, actually

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        only Benteke scored less than 5 and he was only on for 17 mins

      3. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Proud to own Morenos 6%

    • Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Could do with a Fernando goal assisted by Fernandinho

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Clattenberg might have given the penalty for Sterling's beard?

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        he gave it because he wanted revenge

      2. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Clattenberg did it to be the centre of attention. He is the most arrogant sod on the planet.

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Feel sorry for Sterling, I'd be pretty annoyed at that decision for quite a while

    • KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Rose 12 pointer

    • Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling did lift his arm there.

      1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Out of the way of the ball ironically

    • LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling is so unlikeable

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sh!t hair

    • Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why on earth did I play Richards over Nyom and Dawson

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Because pool are really hot and cold and you never know who shows up

      2. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read that. 🙂

    • Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Come on Aguero..

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      So poor from aguero that

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Been very bad in this game

    • KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs have threatened this for years.. never lacked quality just the belief and the bottle.. they now look to have the full package

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Quality all over the pitch.
        Just need a good Back up striker

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        They used to have brilliant individuals. VDV, Modric, Bale etc

        Now they have a team who function together.

        1. BENOIT
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          That team couldn't defend. Serious flair though.

        2. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Bang on Berbs

      3. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        The additions of Toby and Alli are not to be underestimated, though.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          certainly not

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kun having one of those days again.

      He ain't scoring today

    • Licky
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If you're feeling optimistic Liverpool fans this is a good result for us. 😀

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Our year

    • Hypnos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero appearance points banked

    • andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A quicker thinking Aguero gets an assist there

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        You think Sterling would score?

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Fair point!

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why I captained Kun when I had Costa is beyond me 🙁 🙁 He delivered when I didn't give him the armband. Damn damn damn

      1. BabyB
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        at least you own Costa.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Game hasn't finished.

      3. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        At least you had him.

    • RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      ball to hand ffs

    • Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No more a handball then the penalty that one. Someone botted the ball at his arm. Neither deliberate.

      1. RÏɠBY
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        exactly

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      City will improve so much without Toure in the team.

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        what about without Silva?

      2. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely agree.

        His attitude and lack of trying is stifling the life out of them

      3. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Pep will see him off!

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yaya just always looks like he can't be arsed.

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He looked like that at his peak though. How he rolls....

    • KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Carroll in

    • Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have Rose on the bench with 12 points(for now). Ugh.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I sold him :/
