Double Gameweek 36 gets up and running at the London Stadium this evening as West Ham United entertain title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur.

The visitors roll up knowing that a win would take them to just one point behind Chelsea at the summit, with attacking trio Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen playing a prominent role in many Wildcards selctions over the last few days.

All three have merited our attention.

Kane – who has already picked up 13 points against the Hammers in Gameweek 12 – has seven goals and three assists in his last five starts and is second only to Alexis Sanchez in our Gameweek 36 Captain Poll, with 11% backing.

Eriksen has delivered double-figures in each of his previous two road trips, while Alli’s run of eight returns in the last nine Gameweeks has taken him to nine points off the top of the FPL player standings.

Devoid of a Double Gameweek, Fantasy interest in West Ham’s assets is minimal at best – the main impact will be their ability to breach a defence that’s conceded just once in their previous six.

Slaven Bilic’s side will take some solace in their 3-2 loss at White Lane back in November, though – that was one of only five times that Spurs have conceded more than a single goal in the league this season.

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

    You would think Spurs would have loads of money to spend next season, considering the amount of money Daniel Levy saves on hiarcuts alone!

    Alli is pathetic. Sore loser.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Better than being a happy loser IMO.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Yes he's been so bad all season.

  3. Boomerang V

    I benched Gabbi cause I played Alli and Eriksen... Now he has 180 minutes to punish me 🙁

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      That's just dumb...surely you could've benched someone else for Gabbi

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      If that was on a WC that was just silly.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      more like 118 minutes but yeh

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Why get Gabbi at all then?

        1. MrZ
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          For BB gw37... Guess many done this.

      • EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        The whole point of having Gabbi was the DGW.

        1. Jereme Halliday
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          this

      • Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        On the bright side, probably will just be ~ 145 minutes...

      • vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Same... I ain't to fussed about it at the mo, football is football. By the end of the weekend I'll be pi**** though lol

      • vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        And I had nearly a dozen people say to me don't go Gabbi from my team selection.. 😉

      • Boomerang V
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, King

        Kane, Costa, Gabbi

        I had no aoa... I took the wrong decision

        1. vectorman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          I have the same but Jesus instead of Costa.. It was a 50/50 thing, don't mind the naysayers 😉

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 27 days ago

            Hindsight is 20/20 vision comes to mind... Were any of you saying this before the game? I'm pretty sure we all thought Spurs would score at least a couple vs West Ham

    5. Team Cruel

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Absolutely.

    10. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Vert subbed off - so poor or tactical?
      Should I be worried of him starting for the future fixtures?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Both.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Nonsense.

      2. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Seemed tactical, spurs needed to go for it.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

      Those who went treble west ham should be delighted.

      Particularly those with

      Lanzini - 3 bonus
      Adrian - 2 bonus
      Fonte - 1 bonus

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Same w/ those who chose Lanzini as first goalscorer... like me... http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/05/05/spot-the-differential-gameweek-36-5/?hc_page=12#hc_comment_15624408

      Argh thought

      Kane A

      A war needs to be waged against time wasting, if a goalie uses more than 6 seconds it should be a YC every time. No other sport allows the rules to be broken so much.

      Call me an optimist, but I still have faith in a Kane goal

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        you're an optimist

      2. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Youre an optimist

      3. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        You're an optimist

      4. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        You're gonna be a pessimist real soon

        Maybe a "fool" is a more accurate description

    24. F4L

      Wham fans worse than City ones

    25. Team Cruel

      Spurs fans checking their FPL teams

    26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Can't remember spurs troubling Adrian second half

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Son had a shot

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Son shot saved well

    27. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      All of us with Kane-but-no-Costa teams should invest heavily in Andrex.

    28. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Starting to get closer now.

      Welcome home Hammers! Great energy and effort tonight.

        ugly stuff though

    30. HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years

      Can wait for the @Sporf Twitter account to post a GIF of Alli waving goodbye to their title hopes /s

      1. HazardAGuess
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Can't*, even

    31. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      If you're ever chasing a game you better hope Adrian isn't the goalie on the other team. Master time waster.

      1. That Was Easy!

        It's so annoying. More YCs need to be handed out.
