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.

    If ever I needed a Walker assist, it is now!

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

    Phew! All that worry about Sanchez, Coutinho and Walcott playing came to nothing in the end!

    Thank you Mr Capoue but your services will not be needed this week 😎

          I missed the game, but it sounds like we were robbed. 😉

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            As did I but I'll presume your lads were all filth and cheated their way into a draw 😉

              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              The referee was an absolute disgrace... possibly.

                • 16 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                I'll go along with that

    Is there any chance giroud gets to start for arsenal. Since he looks better than sanchez at st pos. Could be a good differential

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wenger said after match that Giroud will soon be back in the starting line-up. 🙂

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kind of waiting for this to happen so I can sell Lukaku for him

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

    2. Numb

      What are Sanchez owners doing this week? Tricky decision.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Don't own but would keep him for 2 GWs then > Haz

      3. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

        What's tricky? BOU next?

      4. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping. I have Sterling to sort out.

      5. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping. He gets two more

      6. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not benching him

    3. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Girouds chances of starting now?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Probably slim

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

      Brag:

      14 pts (-0) with Hazard & Costa left.

      Read it and weep.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You should give up

        15 points 🙂

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

          😀

          Can't compete!

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            But I took a hit 😆

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        16 - 8 😎

      3. marcus2704
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        12 points (-4) with 2 x WBA, Costa and Hazard to play.

      James Collins out of the team and suddenly west ham look like they can defend again

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

        It was Byram/Antonio+Collins, Reid/Ogbona, Masuaka that was the disaster.
        3-5-2 with Cresswell back is whats doing it more than Collins benched I think.
        People have kept writing how awful WHU are at defence ignoring the changes.

        Cresswell & Antonio are both fairly good at neutralising opposing wing and great at causing their own trouble on the break.
        Besides Antonios 6 headers that is.

    6. KISSES
      • 12 Years

      COYI!!

    7. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      27 pts took a -4 hit with 2 left to play Costa & McAuley brilliant score that :/

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Beats plenty this week.

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Suppose I'll see a green for tonight but should of brought in Haz for Sanchez now though how did you fair out TM?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            You probably get a red arrow.
            Roughly the same.

            1. Lecky Legs FC
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Ah yeah 27 is average although I doubt it will happen hope Costa & McAuley save my GW.

    8. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have Aguero, Austin and Lukaku. Want to get rid of Kaku, who is the next best to have? (Have hazard so dont want costa)

      Better option?

      A) Williams to Cedric

      B) Francis to Evans (Have Foster)

      I'm so glad Boruc, Stones, and Gundogan didn't play I've got Pickford, Koscielny and Capoue coming off my bench 🙂

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years

        You should be humble over your massive luck

        1. boc610
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          players getting rested after international break hardly surprising, your subs are there for a reason.. when would you consider it not lucky to get bench points?

      2. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Possibly the jammiest series of bench points I've ever seen.

    14. borat
      • 9 Years

      Walker out for cedric,fonte,vvd,jenkinson,lovren

        Instructions:
        1. Make a copy of the sheet first so that you can edit it.
        2. Enter the GW no. on top of the sheet (Column B1)
        3. Enter the FPL IDs in the yellow/orange marked columns

        and voila find the list of players in the column nearby.
