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.

    kane + Alli double fail

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Add eriksen. Yeah.

    2. 5os
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Not as bad as Kane/Alli/Eriksen triple

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        You as well huh?

  2. MikeDuff
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Why are West Ham so happy? Meaningless game for them. Stopped a rival but now Chelsea win...

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

      Winning at derby always delightful mate.... Especially when they have nothing to play for

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Not meaningless. Can't be relegated now.

        1. MTPockets
            9 years, 27 days ago

            * Plus it's spurs.

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Why not?

        3. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Because they won a game and are now ninth. Every game matters. It's also a matter of pride.

      • Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Terrible start to the doubles bonanza. Spurs better pay me back in 37

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Now just have to hope for sanchez red card after 5mins of first game....

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

        Congrats Chelsea. Good luck winning next year with the UCL as well.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Good point
          Wont nearly be as easy for them

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          It is not like Chelsea isn't use to playing in the CL mates...they won the whole thing just 5 years ago

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Party time at Stamford bridge

        Time to roll out the reserves for the doubler

      • Ninja Škrtel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        wasn't much chance of a title anyway...nothing changed.

      • JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        So I should went with Ake

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

          Terry & zouma are ahead him i guess

        2. Zlatans little helper
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          As I told you, after the title is secured.

      • fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Only own Alli from Spurs. Fairly delighted with this result. Took a -12 to get in 6 DGWers. Come on now. Need luck after a wretched couple of weeks.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I hope Southampton get battered.

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

            Hard to do much worse than 2.

      • Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Spurssss what are you doing, I'm deleting my team 🙁

      • Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        lol @ people who own spurs players aka everyone

      • makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        6 from 3. Perfect start that

      • Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Think this could start to become a bit of a hang up for the Spurs boys. Really needed to break that whole bottler persona.

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

          i dont know about the bottler thing. title was already gone tbh and they have won 8 league games in a row in a pressure time of the season. chelsea winning the league with their quality more than spurs bottling it

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 27 days ago

            But that's what will still be said about them. I don't necessarily believe they bottled anything, but that will be what's thrown about and that kind of thing gets in players heads.

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Kyle Walker and #poch let Spurs down roday. Why play 4 at the back when you're winning playing 3-4-2-1

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Poch has a tendency to make the wrong decisions.

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

            Yeah, no idea...

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

          Poch cant drop son with his performance, but he cant fit in 3-4-2-1
          Besides 3-4-2-1 means less attacking too... Why play defensive when you're behind?

      • Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Rival in 3rd place captained Costa

        Oh lawd jesus

      • Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Wildcard derailed 😆

        Verthongen, Eriksen & Kane.

        The guy I'm trying to catch has no Spurs at all. Can't catch a break against him at all

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

          This

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

          Probably going to pay for it myself this week

      • KLOPPS GLASSES
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Jaku > Caballero for a free? Worried about his price rising tonight...

        1. Iceball
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Good move

      • andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        3 clean sheets in a row for West Ham

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Did you go Costa over Kane?

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 27 days ago

            Nope.

            Couldnt be giving my rival a Kane differential 🙂

        2. Petr Cech the Table
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          So
          Alonso --> Collins
          Cech --> Adrian -4

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

            You now that they dont have DGW dont you?

      • Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Alli, Eriksen, Kane epic fail

      • FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        As a fantasy football player that's been absolutely horrendous. As a Chelsea fan however...

      • ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Bad for Chelsea assets.

        They can win the league early.

        Bad for spurs assets.

        They look poor.

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

          lot of WC teams will be disappointed to have dropped the likes of Siggy with all to play for... definitely bad for FPL assets.

      • Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Kane (C) & Eriksen fail :/

      • Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Looking forward to Spurs parading their "we finished above Arsenal" trophy.

      • RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Don't worry people! Every man and his dog had 2-3 spuds

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

          Only 1 here.

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

          Went Sane over Eriksen and Jesus over Kane due to fixtures.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 27 days ago

            Nice one!

        3. Deus
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Wait for Lukaku to outscore them all

        4. maff
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Ditched my 3 spurs players this week as it goes.

        5. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Err..nope.

        6. L S P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Zero

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

        Well the "only Eriksen" gamble hasn't been too bad so far.

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

          same here with "only Alli" gamble.

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

          Me too. Ozil, Jesus; your time is NOW!!!

      • Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Wrote the fixtures out and thought Costa over Kane, no brainer, but then went Kane. Awful by me.

        Spurs very poor tonight.

        Jonty said having 2 of Alli/Eriksen/Kane is like having a safety blanket and having all 3 is like a big warm duvet

        Well it feels like someone has a pillow over my face right now
