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.

    I've got Vertonghen, any chance FPL change it to his assist?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Well he didn't touch it at all so I doubt it.

    Oh Dembele you beast

    1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      So painful to watch as a Fulham fan. Best player that's ever played for us.

      1. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Johnny Haynes has already got that one sealed. Or bobby moore. Or george best.

        1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Point taken. I should've said in my lifetime in retrospect.

          1. *sigh*
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Ahh sorry I'm an old bugga

      2. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        In your lifetime maybe?

  3. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    People actually pay for a Baggies season ticket.

  4. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    This is so ending 1-0

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If it ends like this I'de be extremely happy

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I'm comfortable as a Kane non owner watching this. Never thought I'd say this

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      😆

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He is definitely, 100% going to score. No doubt about it.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Floodgates will open

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That you Willy Honka?

    5. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That's when he strikes. Lures you into a false sense of security....

    6. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Stop watching at half time then, gonna get uncomfortable second half

    7. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Did you miss the chance where he hit the inside of the post but usually scores 9/10.

      There will be more chances in the second half.

  6. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    That's a penalty surely?

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    700% peno

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This again

  8. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Why is Eriksen not being credited with that assist?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Blame Vert.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        That's never a vertonghen assist, he didn't touch the ball?

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Didnt assist

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        What? He took the free kick, and Dawson bundled it in, unless vertonghen claims an assist by pushing him I don't see how it can be anyone other than Eriksen

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It'll be added.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I hope so, can't see why it wouldn't be, we've seen 6-7 replays now

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    CS for Spurs and Toby owners nailed on 🙁

  10. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Potentially unpopular opinion, but I think Dembele and especially Kante deserve POTS over Mahrez/Vardy/Kane

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kante doesn't deserve anything, he's stupidly overrated. It's really not funny either.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        lol

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Who would you give it to? Pulis?

      3. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Lol this comment tho

      4. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        This guy's a clown 😆

      5. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        How should he be rated? Would it be fair to say he has been the best player in his position in the prem this season?

  11. Hakuho FPL
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    OG given

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Obviously.

  12. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Keep making the runs Danny Rose

  13. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Never a pen.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I assume, I'm not watching it.

  14. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Will the next Spurs scorer get the "winning goal bonus" or will no one get it now?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on the score

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No one gets it if WB don't score

  15. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Not one person has had the bollocks to say Kane captain fail yet and this doesn't count

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I said TC Kane fail

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Go ahead big plums

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Wasn't a penalty

  17. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Help me Captain Kane, you're my only hope...

    (27 points before this evening!)

  18. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    WBA 1-0 down and still playing with 11 players behind the ball.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Are you surprised?

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Gotta defend the lead, even if it's the other team who have it.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Putrid Pulis

  19. Numb

    DAWSON,

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      fast forward your sky+

  20. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Walker should be booked

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No please

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        kicked Rondon for no reason, got off lucky

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      technically a very soft red

  21. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Wish we could hear the refs like in the rugby...

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      would mean they'd get more respect from the players too.
      can't imagine clubs wanting the abuse they give being broadcast

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ronka doesn't have Kane. I might sell

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah he knows what he's doing. Has Dawson.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I might if you keep.

  23. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hope Dawsons on the 3 baps after that goal..

  24. A.T
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    West Brom will score, no doubt about it.

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This, and a Kane and Alli blank. Looks like a good week to be a Rondon owner.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This game could be 900 minutes long and they wouldn't score

  25. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ville Ronka's fandom is so funny.

    Haters gonna hate.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The guy doesn't exist.. if he did he would be on here destroying all us inferior lollers

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I don't think he cares.

        Which makes it all the funnier.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          He is the Keyser Soze of FPL

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            He's been in solitary confinement in Norway for the last 5 years.

            1. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Hahaha aye that's the one mate

  26. Syd.

    Walker was a lucky boy there

    Kane is the reason I am ni where near my ML leader. I never had him last week, he kaned me. I bought him, alomngside Alli for a hit, he is still kaning me..

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Get another and take Kane off to rest him for Chelsea. Job done

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      😀

  29. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

    9 years, 11 months ago

    I can't be the only one who thinks the Spurs defence looks unusually vulnerable today...

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      In fairness, if I was playing WBA I'd have cracked out the sun cream and deck chair.

    2. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think so. By vulnerable do you mean they have conceded one half chance?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

    2. Debauchy

      Great pick Numb

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years

        Are you Villa Ronke ?
