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.

    What did Alli do

    1. TorresMagic™

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Said hello to Yacob

    2. Vedas

      Kicked or punched Yakub, ref didn't see. Deserves a ban

        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds like you didn't see it either.

      Swung his arm at a someone. Wasn't really a punch.

      Personally don't think he will get punished for it as it didn't look like much. I could be wrong though

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ^ Agree with every word.

      2. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        "wasn't really a punch" are you for real????

        Watch it again he punches him in the stomach

  2. Bøwstring The Carp

    Anything more said about the Alli incident?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What did he do?

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez will play for goals goals and goals now. I think he is a must no?

  4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    alli to payet looking likely now, maybe punt on haz

  5. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen ast added Alli still has 3

  6. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bonus Points:

    3 Points - Alli (24)
    2 Points - Eriksen (23)
    1 Point - Rose (22)

    That's with the Eriksen assist added

    1. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Loving Alli's 3 BAPS

    2. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Subject to change I think

  7. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What is the link to know the projected OR rank?

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    As seen 1:0 is not that easy to win it. So critics against Chelsea were unreasonable

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Leicester are the masters of it.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        And they are champions. Hat down to them

  9. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs have now only beat WBA once in the last 6 attempts at White Hart Lane

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bogey team

  10. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    going to dgw with wc and bb. was thinking of losing augero and keeping kane. losing mahrez and keeping alli. now i should keep augero and mahrez and lose all spurs with nothing to play for and not the best fixtures either.....right?

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      still in with a chance

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        very slight chance. they need lei to lose 7 points from 9

  11. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    7 starters, 2 no shows, 2 late cameos including captain.

  12. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    spurs played the arsenal way, today.

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

    need 3 points from 3 games, I'm sure they attack more...maybe Coutinho > Mahrez

  14. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When will Alli's ban be confirmed? As soon as tomorrow or later this week before the Chelsea game?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The FA are reviewing the footage at the moment, they said a decision will be made in 10 minutes...

      1. Hypnos
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I got an email back there might be a delay of around 5 minutes if we can be patient.

      2. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Jeremy Kyle will deliver the result on live TV.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          With a DNA test in hand and Steve the bodyguard present.

          1. Bazzalona
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            there speaks someone with an intimate knowledge of the show.

  15. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Erikson saved me!

  16. Laporte In A Storm
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The difference between a kun captainer and a Kane captainer is still only 4 points. So doesn't matter what way I slice it, this was a poor week.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8 points mate

      1. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kane (C) + Agüero = 10 points
        Kane + Agüero (C) = 14 points

        Easy math makes that a 4 point difference.

      2. Laporte In A Storm
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, I meant if you had both like I do. If I had captained kun instead of Kane, I'd gain 6 but lose 2.

      3. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        (2n + x) - (2x + n) = n - x

        n = 6, x = 2

    2. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you have both players and captained Kane it's 4 point difference.

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If it was some Carlos Kickaball it would be a retrospective ban but with England's Dele Alli it'll be brushed quietly under the carpet

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bullsh1t

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        We'll see I guess.

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          You're implying there's a racial bias to the suspension process

          Probably not...

          1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Several people said Vardy wouldn't be charged with his aggressive behaviour because he was English.

            Then it broke that he had been...

            Paranoia alive and well.

  18. Syd.
    • 17 Years

    Stoke made Spurs look good last week

    1. themec
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They had plenty of chances to be fair in the first half. They lack a couple of decent impact subs imo. Chadli and Son only came on with 5 to go. Too little too late.

  19. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ronnie in off. Surely all over for him now.

  20. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Alli being banned would be the icing on a cherry cake of a season.

  21. Dutchboy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Cresswell or Smalling?

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      smalling

  22. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Has the Vardy decision been announced yet?

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who's had their best FPL season ever this year?

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My worst 😀

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Rank?

        1. FudgyBadger
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          40k

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My worst in 7 years.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        My best in 9!

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Me, 3750 OR

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Worst

  24. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    50 pts. Starting to scare the top 1000.

    With a fair tail wind I could make the top 1000 by the end for the second year running - there aren't many that can say that! (cue a disastrous WC and fall to 20k)

  25. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Got away with Aguero captain. Big relief.

    Given tonights result, play Darlow v Palace or De Gea v Leicester?

    Think I`ll sell Sakho for Winston Reid.

    Allows a -8 in gw 37 to do

    Alli to Milner
    Kosc to Smalling
    Simpson to Moreno

    DGW 37

    GK De Gea
    DEF Moreno, Reid, Smalling, Azpi
    MID Payet, Milner, Loftus Cheek, Townsend
    FWD Aguero, Kane Sturridge

    9DGW`s - enough or worth selling sanchez to haz for a week?

  26. jam sandwich
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    De Bruye, Mitrovic, Pelle > Alli, Lukaku, Kane -8?

    team is

    DDG - Darlow
    Bellerin - Gabriel - Lovren - Fuchs - McAuley
    De Bruyne - Sanchez - Coutinho - Payet - Lanzini
    Aguero - Pelle - Mitrovic

  27. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Well done Hawkins

  28. Bazzalona
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    there's a lot of the 'c' word on here (no not that one) but if alli gets banned to add to vardy's suspension - tough fixtures for Leicester/spurs etc who knows the 'serious' players may yet push on the next two weeks
