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.

    Template already starting to break. Group think rarely works.

      I don't agree! Group thinking is probably the best.
      If lower probability of event occurs it doesn't mean that probability calculations were wrong and tactics to bet on events with higher probability is worse than random gamble or whatever you may choose

    Interesting start to the GW. Rival I'm trying to catch has triple spurs, so ditched all spurs on my WC this week, for differentials (Ozil, Costa)

  17. Sims

    whu fans need to show some respect spurs are miles ahead of them

    1. SM001
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      West Ham. Respect. lol

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

      They detest each other . West Ham fans prefer Chelsea.

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

    So Chelsea will now start going rotation crazy with the FA Cup coming up?.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Correct. As will Spurs with nothing to play for. Kane benched. Alli benched. Eriksen benched. Lloris benched.

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

      I think 37 they will play first XI but 38 home to Sunderland will rest key players for FA Cup final. Why risk Hazard, Costa, etc. against Sunderland.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds really possible.

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

      It's pretty much the worst outcome...win their next two and it's all over for Watford at home for second fixture in GW37.

      Makes calling Chelsea and Spurs performance/output difficult to call.

      I guess most of us in the same boat though - who hasn't got 4-5 Spurs and Chelsea.

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

        I think Watford at home will be the starting lineup to celebrate/win the title. 38 will be backups.

        Only 3 here (Hazard, Alonso, Alli) the benefit (luck) of using my WC a few weeks early I guess.

        Chose Jesus + Sane over Kane/Costa and Eriksen more recently. Lucky, so far... but Spurs assets should still feature.

        It is CHE assets that have the FA CUP final to rest for in 38.

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

        I have Erik/Alli/Kane/Hazard no Chelsea back.. Was planing on getting one in this week but not sure now

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

          I wouldn't. I had left enough for Lukaku -> Costa for free for 37 but not going to do it anymore with Lukaku going for Golden Boot and a home game.

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

          Of course we are all assuming CHE win this weekend. A draw and the second game in 37 is still in play for them.

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

      Yeah this was not a good result for us really.. Could be a lot of frustration coming up, hopefully not though

  19. Digital-Real

    off to the bookies to place a bet on Spurs finishing 3rd 😉

    Can we just do away with the chips? They always break my heart.

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years

      Who'd you use it on?

  21. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Spurs best season, no trophies , no finals ...,but dies equal Arsenal's poor season last year

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

      Crazy how Arsenal/Utd might better their season by a lot despite playing worse over the season

      Spurs bottle it when it matters it seems

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        F* me!!! ... Spurs finally lost a match .... 27 / 30 points

        When the run started Chelsea were miles ahead - Spurs were in a pack with Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City

        Proud to have a team that plays for its manager

  22. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Luckily benched Vertonghen but I feel as though Spurs assets will be less valuable as they are less inspired

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It has be an extremely successful season for spurs, i doubt they would let themselves slip right at the end

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It's the Spurs way.

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          last year maybe but this year they will finish 2nd and that is an achievement.

  23. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wimmer and Dier the only people that could play CB for Spurs right (besides the usual Vert and Toby)?

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

    Can someone please explain why statements of difinitive fact are not published on here ?
    Most people know from what seedy industry West Ham's owners have made their money from and that they are currently under investigation for irregularities .
    If this doesn't get posted then there is something way wrong.
    I have said the same thing here in different words.

    1. TorresMagic™

      Word filter.

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

        Oh was it p**n ?
        If it was I didn't realise that this was prohibited.

          Yes, it was the block at play.

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

            Sorry didn't realise. Would it have passed in it's unabreviated form out of interest ?

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can you explain what their owners have done?

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

        Fiesta , Men Only , Reader's Wives etc

    2. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      people had bigger hopes for soldado. no one really believed in Jansen I guess

    3. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jans at least soldado scored one pen a game for a few games

    4. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
