A bitterly disappointing Saturday rumbles on with a tea-time encounter at White Hart Lane.

In Fantasy terms, the clash between Spurs and West Ham looks likely to offer little compensation – aside perhaps for a scouting mission on Harry Kane and a potential clean sheet for the 37.7% owners of Kyle Walker. Son Heung-min’s decline as an option continues as he is relegated to the Spurs bench.

West Ham turn up having enjoyed something of a revival and boasting the fading Fantasy asset that is Dimitri Payet. His talents will be monitored, although an evil run of fixtures for Slaven Bilic’s side is likely to temper any enthusiasm in the Frenchman and Michail Antonio; now owned by just 9.2% of FPL managers, he looks likely to start at right wing-back again this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      My love for Austin is waning. Wish Giroud was nailed.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I just brought him in as part of my 12 pt hit to shoehorn Kane in. That price and those fixtures :O

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        same. Austin Redmond and Boufal all playing for the first time with each othe so chemistry is lacking

        Plus Austin might get rotated with Long and JRod .

      3. Emp
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        apperantly he was on the wing this week, not quite sure whats going on with that soton formation, is that whats putting you off?

        southampton look awful every time i watch them. yet seem to do well otherwise. toothless today. brilliant centre backs

        1. Emp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          to be fair they have had very tough fixtures, i remember them battering burnley an hull last week not quite sure how they won

    • bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That win for Spurs was the type of last gasp victory you'd associate with Fergie in his prime at United.

      As a fan of a League Two club with no PL allegiance I would love to see Poch win the league.

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        yeah i like the wily argie too. no chance of spurs winning the league tho, i'd have thought.

        1. bojack
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          CL involvement may hamper them.

          Still unbeaten though!

          1. the axolotl
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            yeah they'll do well but not contenders imo. champs league will take its toll

    • HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Olivier Giroud has scored 8 times from his last 9 shots on target in the Premier League. (Squawka)

      Bad news for Sanchez and Walcott right ?

      Theo place is in real danger and Sanchez might be moved to the wing to accommodate Giroud

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez is ok on the wing. Bad news for Walcott though yeah.

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Kane at 11m will be a better fpl pick than Sanchez imo

          1. Evans
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            How do you work that out ?

            1. HurriKane
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              lukaku sanchez --> Kane Siggy + 3m

      2. Emp
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        i dont think giroud will utomatically come in cos arsenal have been doing well without him in besides today. Even if he does i expect theo to keep his place on the right at least for the time-being

      3. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I fail to see how Theo's place is in danger. Ramsey has rarely played on the RW and the Ox always plays off the bench in league games. Walcott still the best route into Arsenal's attack.

    • Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      with guaranteed Fonte bench points, on 32 from 7 - with Hazard/Azpi/Costa triple tomorrow and Vokes on Monday.

      50+ points would be amazing on a dog of a weekend for many.

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hi all, Is this crazy for a -12?, my team is all over the place and can afford this but has to be tonight before price changes. Yay or nay?

      Lukaku + Gundogan + Allen + CWilson > Kane + Sigurdsson + De Roon + Anichebe

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        De roon + Anichebe is a recipe for disaster. no from me

        I answered on the last page. Conclusion = no.

        1. Vinyl78LP
          • 16 Years

        thinking about going without city and arsenal.

        how times change.

    • makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Going to hit my main rival in the face when I see him Monday morning. Played Gundogan and Capoue as 3rd and 4th mid. Walcott sits 2nd on his bench behind Coleman.

    • Lucky_Z
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Best option?

      Heaton ▪ Jakupovic
      Stones ▪ McAuley ▪ Evans ▪ Holebas ▪ Amat
      Alexis ▪ Walcott ▪ Firmino ▪ Coutinho ▪ Capoue
      Kun▪ Lukaku ▪ Austin

      2FTs, 0.4 ITB

      A) Capoue & Lukaku => Hazard & Anichebe
      B) Aguero & Walcott => Kane & Hazard
      C) Lukaku & Walcott => Defoe & Hazard
      D) Any other move

      1. woody3260
        • 12 Years

        like B and C. probably C if no city cover

    • keeney
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Last chance for Kun and Lukaku next week for me, if they fail in comes Kane and giroud

      1. Evans
        • 13 Years

      2. keeney

      3. MesQueUnClub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Siggy

    • Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 3 months ago

        1) Anichebe + Sanch
        2) Giroud + Lallana/7.4M

        Obviously 2 for me but alas 'Le Donk' is not nailed.

        Last week Sanchez was the Kane enabler this week Sanchez to someone else may be the Kane enabler. Think it is for me anyway.

          Wish I did not have doubts about Walcott to replace Sanchez he played 90 after all but still and that baby still ain't born.

      • Lumberjack
        • 10 Years

        Best pairing for the next few weeks:

        Fuchs > Cedric in GW 14 is a complete no brainer for owners.

        The tigers can't defend to save their lives in the league without Kante
