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.

      Oh no, how will he cope with the £10,000 fine?

      Hopefully the mugs saying that English players are preferred will now keep their pie holes closed.

  2. FPL Daniel

    Do we bench Utd defenders now? Leicester will surely attack no?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nah. Double Utd defence for me.

      They can afford a draw, they won't want to lose

      1. FPL Daniel
        10 years, 6 months ago

        So I leave Don Vitto on the bench? Playing DDG? If Leicester win they have the title no matter what no?

    4. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm sure Leicester will go for the win.

    5. Mark-O

      Play DDG. Ulloa to miss a pen 😆

  4. That Was Easy!
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Rate these players from best to worst for the remainder of the season:
    1) Lukaku
    2) Carroll
    3) Sturridge
    4) Kane

    Need to make up a big ML gap and thinking of dropping Kane to facilitate moves elsewhere and have a big differential

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sturridge
      Kane
      Carroll
      Lukaku

    Anyone TC Kane in the end? I was close!

    1. Studgie G
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Some one did they mentioned it earlier

    2. Hanked
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I did. Total of 15 points from all my chips this year. My ML rivals all score 50+ as well. Going to be a tense finish with a 20 and a 30 point lead now.

      1. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …

        6 POINTS HERE combined bb and tc
        You can breathe easier now

        1. Hanked
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Ha, impressive? How are things panning out, you still doing ok?

          1. Hanked
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Random question mark in there.

          2. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …
            10 years, 6 months ago

            At 65k overall
            And it's obvious now that I would have captained Kane over aguero this week
            28 points off the leader in cash ML who TC aguero last week
            Has been a decent season bar captaincy decisions and the chips
            How about you
            The chips fail must have been a blow below the belt to your plans too

            1. Hanked
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Good season, very steady. 7k OR atm. Chips let me down but captains have been ok.

              I mostly care about ML, big money at stake.

              1. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Good luck to you and we'll done with that OR despite the chip failure it's massive

                1. Hanked
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  You too mate. Maybe you can creep in to the top 10k in the next few games, things are pretty unsettled atm.

  7. Gunner77-

    At least the Spurs shirt has a seat belt on it for their title challenge crashing.

    1. TorresMagic™

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not final.

  9. Jet5605
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Alli should tweet that it was banter with Yacoub

  10. GENERATION X
    10 years, 6 months ago

    just makes my payet returning spot nailed on

  11. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How on earth has Alli ended up on 3 BAPs?

    Do you get extra ones added for punching people or something?

  12. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Kane and Alli out
    Deeney and Hazard in

    Y or N?

    Or maybe Fabregas?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      N

    2. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Don't get Deeney Watford are awful. Defoe or Carroll

      1. semiconductor
        10 years, 6 months ago

        this

    3. semiconductor
      10 years, 6 months ago

      im doing it but not deeney

  13. JØ

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwodHugCf3s Was anyone looking for the Alli incident?

  14. FudgyBadger
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I'm laughing at the people who think Alli will get 3bps

    1. Jet5605
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why wouldn't he?

      A retrospective ban won't affect his match day points gained today

  15. Davido989
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester winning the league OT should be a fantastic sight. May just bring in Mahrez and captain him

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      DDG + Smalling here. I'd like to see them try 😎

    2. Studgie G
      10 years, 6 months ago

      they won't win it there, more likely at home to Everton

    3. KingNidge
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I hope Rojo is well lubed up because Mahrez is going to fist him into submission

      1. Crouching Tiger
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Why you think Rojo will play. I think Valencia will play, pace needed.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Usain Bolt has real pace but like Valencia he ain't no left back.

    4. Jet5605
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I can see 0-0 at OT and Leicester beating Everton at home with Vardy back

  16. RÏɠBY
    10 years, 6 months ago

    leicester will be sending dawson a gift basket tonight

    1. Smarty Pants
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, he scored for both teams.

      1. RÏɠBY
        10 years, 6 months ago

        which makes it funnier
        lots of speciality jams 😉

  17. Acquafresca
    10 years, 6 months ago

    What happens with autosubs now since Kane didn't play and I don't have any subs who got points?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Free WC.

      1. Acquafresca
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Hurrah. Need one after that disastrous last one.

  18. Syd.
    10 years, 6 months ago

    GW37 could be a rotation nightmare

    Stick to the teams fighting it out for the CL spots

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Very wise

  19. Slam
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I think I got every decision wrong this week.
    Went with Walker over Simpson/Rose
    Finally gave in and did Sanchez -> Ozil for a hit 🙁

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Whyd you go Walker over Danny Rose? 🙁

      1. Slam
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Gut feeling 🙁
        It's just one point though, oh well.

    2. Henryyy

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez->ozil???

      1. Slam
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Ozil -> Sanchez 😛

  20. Nicks93

    How the hell is Alli getting 3 baps?

    Not that I complain

    1. Epic Fail

      YPOTY grants 15 bos to next game

    4. Nicks93
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldnt mind that at all after bringing him in for a hit

    5. Smarty Pants
      10 years, 6 months ago

      punching an opponent and avoiding a yellow/red card is worth a lot of BPS

  21. Slam
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Are people ditching Kane? 😛

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      10 years, 6 months ago

      no but i may reconsider getting him in

    2. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 6 months ago

      So fickle isn't it. I'm quite content without him mind.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Stealth boast

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Him or Kun. One of them is going.

      1. Slam
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Deeney, Defoe, Carrol?

    4. Studgie G
      10 years, 6 months ago

      why not? Dgws Kane doesn't have one and their title challenge is over

      1. Slam
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Have you thought of who you will replace him with?

        1. Studgie G
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Carroll Deeney Defoe

          One of them for now but will see

    5. semiconductor
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i am. was ditching augero. i need dgw players with wc but i think ill keep augero and sell kane now

          10 years, 6 months ago

          so far ill play with augero carroll and defoe. cant aford rotation risk with sturidge. only other player in my mind is rashford for the great fixtures after lei

      2. lespaul
        10 years, 6 months ago

        It surprises me how may halfwits there are that cannot spell Aguero. It really isn't that hard.

        1. Slam
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It surprises that me people don't know auto correct exists

    Took a hit to get Kane in, that paid off nicely.... hahahaha

  23. Jet5605
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, what should I do:

    A - Sakho > PvA
    B - Alli > ? Townsend

    Darlow - Robles
    Sakho - Smalling - Bellerin - Gabriel - Simpson
    Payet - Antonio - Alli - Sanchez - Milner
    Kun - Kane - Martial

    1 FT and 0.2 ITB

  24. KingOllie
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Think i should play Darlow (CPL) ahead of DDG (Lei) now then?
    Leicester gonna go all out

    1. Invincibles
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Robles
      Bellerin simpson cresswell
      coutinho mahrez alli sanchez payet

    Ah what are them bps all about

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Alli's punch = 24BPS

  26. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Definitely dodged the Kane bullet. So exposed as a non owner.

    Bad luck cappers. He was a more than reasonable choice.

    Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue...

  27. Syd.
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Kane will find it easier to score against Chelsea than WBA tonight

  28. Jazz!
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Honestly speaking, do we think Alli will face a suspension?

    1. VS10_
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. FudgyBadger
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yes 100%

    3. TorresMagic™

    A) PVA (sto)

    B) Simpson(mu)

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one. I'd probably go with PVA.

  30. Lizard Lips
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Payet to Alli, now Alli to Payet. Awful transfer.

    1. Laporte In A Storm
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Oh mate, never do the early transfer!

    2. Tangerine
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle in and now Pelle out, both for hits
