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, 2 months ago

      Better than being a happy loser IMO.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he's been so bad all season.

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

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If that was on a WC that was just silly.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    4. MTPockets

    9. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, King

      Kane, Costa, Gabbi

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

      1. vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

          9 years, 2 months 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

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

  9. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Vert subbed off - so poor or tactical?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years

      Both.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Seemed tactical, spurs needed to go for it.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

      They were never going to win it, Chelsea had it sewn up a long time ago

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    Those who went treble west ham should be delighted.

    1. L S P

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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

  20. That Was Easy!

    9 years, 2 months ago

    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.

    Hilarious
    Can the spammers hang on
    Here's hoping

  22. Orange Roughy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

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

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      you're an optimist

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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

    5. Orange Roughy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Maybe a "fool" is a more accurate description

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Wham fans worse than City ones

  24. Team Cruel

    Spurs fans checking their FPL teams

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Can't remember spurs troubling Adrian second half

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

      Son had a shot

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

      Son shot saved well

  26. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  27. StalkingDwarf

    Starting to get closer now.

  28. Oven Glover

    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, 2 months ago

      Can't*, even

  30. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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