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.

      9 years, 2 months ago

      Add eriksen. Yeah.

    2. 5os
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not as bad as Kane/Alli/Eriksen triple

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not meaningless. Can't be relegated now.

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 2 months ago

        * Plus it's spurs.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why not?

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

  3. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa

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

    1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

  4. ★Kuntheman★

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

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good point
      Wont nearly be as easy for them

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

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

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Party time at Stamford bridge

    Time to roll out the reserves for the doubler

  6. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  7. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So I should went with Ake

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

      Terry & zouma are ahead him i guess

    2. Zlatans little helper
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      As I told you, after the title is secured.

  8. fedolefan

    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.

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I hope Southampton get battered.

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

        Hard to do much worse than 2.

  9. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  10. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    lol @ people who own spurs players aka everyone

  11. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    6 from 3. Perfect start that

  12. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months 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.

  13. diesel001

    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, 2 months ago

      Poch has a tendency to make the wrong decisions.

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

        Yeah, no idea...

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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?

  14. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Rival in 3rd place captained Costa

    Oh lawd jesus

  15. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      This

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably going to pay for it myself this week

  16. KLOPPS GLASSES

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

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good move

  17. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    3 clean sheets in a row for West Ham

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Did you go Costa over Kane?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nope.

        Couldnt be giving my rival a Kane differential 🙂

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

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

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

        You now that they dont have DGW dont you?

  18. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Alli, Eriksen, Kane epic fail

  19. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  20. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bad for Chelsea assets.

    They can win the league early.

    Bad for spurs assets.

    They look poor.

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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.

  21. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Kane (C) & Eriksen fail :/

  22. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Only 1 here.

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nice one!

    3. Deus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for Lukaku to outscore them all

    4. maff
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ditched my 3 spurs players this week as it goes.

    5. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Err..nope.

    6. L S P
      • 10 Years

      Zero

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

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

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      same here with "only Alli" gamble.

    2. scakes
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Spurs very poor tonight.

  26. _Make

    Chokers

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years

  27. Deus

    Template failure?

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years

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

    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

    1. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
