A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

    Benched Januzaj For Capoue 8D

    Bottomed: Quick question guys. Worth Haz & Ibra > Aguero & Mane with my 2FT's?

    Team would then be:

    Heaton
    Evans - Baines - Valencia
    Mirallas - Sanchez - Mane - Antonio
    Benteke - Aguero - Lukaku
    ____________________________
    Robinson: Capoue, Masuaku, Amat

    Mirallas can then become Snodgrass the week after, as can Masuaku > Holebas etc.

    Sound ok? Any help much appreciated.

      Thinking the same to beat price drops. Probably have Firmino rather than Mane myself though.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        cool cheers for replying man, yeah, Hazard dropped last night but thankfully doesn't affect selling price, i still might go Firmino as yet also as both are great options, and saves money in the process.

          Fantasy Football Fix has Hazard dropping tonight also so I'll lose value if I don't shift now. Also says Ibra might drop tomorrow!

            oh wow! really? thanks for the heads up, i wasn't aware of that on fplstatistics, fffix is much better i've heard. yeah i'll be doing the moves tonight then most likely.

  11. Andriy Shevchenko is Back

    Greedy Janssen robs Lamela. Doesn't return pass. Scandalous

  12. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Janssen with a huge 6 into the pavilion

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Lamela could have had 2 goals and an assist here

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

      Or 3 goals

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      But he didn't. So 1 point it is.

  14. TJ_777
    • 11 Years

  18. southernpacific
    • 15 Years

  19. ibenji
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Lamela could of had a hat trick here man!

  20. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone played Capoue and benched Lamela?

  21. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Janssen shooting like Pogba

  22. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Watched this Jansen few times
    Only thing i can say about him is
    Awfull player

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

      Typical overhyped striker from Eredivisie.

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

      jansen fwiw was Dutch footballer of the yr

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        That why Holland never was worse

        1. Total Foot 5
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          good pt

    3. Jekori
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Watched Janssen an entire season in the eredivisie. He isn't as bad as you think. For instance he single-handedly beat Feyenoord with a hattrick. Man Utd couldn't get one past their goalie. A United B-team isn't worse than AZ. Also, with Kane injured and Eriksen rotated/missing his last penalty for denmark, he might be on penalties. He scored 12 in his carreer and never missed one. 4 of those were for AZ when he became a contender for the golden boot in Holland, which he got despite only netting his first goal in GW8. So their might be more similarities between Kane and Janssen than you think. He won't be the next RvP, but he actually is one of the few bright spots in the Holland squad. He'll probably become something like a new Dirk Kuyt but as a typical striker.

    In Defoe I trust

  24. Ziro

    Lamela has looked genuinely dangerous.

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

      Against 10 man Sunderland

  25. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    That was absolutely horrendous from Janssen. What the hell

  26. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    This is so funny.

    Lamela should have like 3 goals and an assist. Instead he has 1 point and blocks Friend coming on.

    For many it's obviously Capoue who he's blocking.

  27. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Someone somewhere must have januzaj coming off their bench

    1. Jakarta

      This thought is some consolation for my shocker of a gameweek!

  28. tm245
    • 14 Years

    These teams couldn't score again 5v5.

  29. Scholes Balls
    • 9 Years

    Jansen is pathetic

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Walker loves a bap or two

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Kyle Walker.

      The only defence in my selection of 5.
