Gameweek 35’s swansong finds Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion meet under lights at White Hart Lane. The former breezed past Manchester United and Stoke City in their past two matches, while the Baggies have lost four of their previous five fixtures.

Spurs’ rampaging attack ranks second for goals (11), total attempts (74), big chances (12) and shots on target (26) over their respective last four match-ups, highlighting their abundance of threat in the final third. Considering that Mauricio Pochettino’s side have chalked up a whopping 24 more shots on target than any team at home (136), the Baggies will do well to stop them scoring. On the other hand, Spurs will fancy their chances of earning a clean sheet having conceded just 13 big chances at the Lane all season.

Delving into the Baggies’ productivity away from The Hawthorns, they place second-bottom for goals (12) and sit last for attempts (140), shots inside the box (78) and shots on target (37). That being said, only three teams have recorded more clean sheets in road ties than West Brom (six), which suggests that Spurs could be in for a frustrating evening. Having posted four blank in five outings, Tony Pulis’ men are certain to bunker down in the capital.

    Will there not be given an assist on the OG? Not that I have Eriksen, but would have thought that was an assist.

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

    Spurs are the new Leicester, scrapping 1-0 wins.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      they haven't won 1-0 since early February and it was their 4th of the season

  24. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    To be fair at least Yacob didn't collapse and roll around as if he had been shot. He knows how to give it out on the pitch himself.

    Imagine if that had have been Ronaldo or Ashley Young

  25. KOLASINA(C)

    In all honesty - we all thought that Vardy would get a ban for middle finger given to the linesman. FA did nothing.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Verdict not announced yet I suspect.

    Any opinions on brining in Townsend for Sigurdsson? He is the form man at Newcastle with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa coming up.

    Quiz for those of you who are board (no cheating);

    1. Only one club in the UK has the letter J in it, who is it?
    2. Which is the only club to start its name with 5 consonants?

    If you can answer this without cheating, your opinion will be taken as gospel 🙂

    1. Jay_
        10 years, 1 month ago

        St Johnstone

        1. ZaZaZu

        Starting with 5 consonants is CRYSTal Palace

    3. FPL Daniel

      Boring and terrible Game. Looks like Spurs lack hunger and maybe belief
