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.

    1. Deus

      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)

    1. vectorman
      • 10 Years

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

        I hope so!
        Sanchez and Ozil could make or break this week

    • 9 Years

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

    I take comfort in the fact that Mark has 6 pts from 3 players after tonight.

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 27 days ago

        and Anichebe.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

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

    4. Sims

      9 years, 27 days ago

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

      1. SM001
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        West Ham. Respect. lol

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

        They detest each other . West Ham fans prefer Chelsea.

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

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

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

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

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

          Sounds really possible.

      3. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 19 Years
        9 years, 27 days 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
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 27 days 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, 27 days ago

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

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

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

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

      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_

        Who'd you use it on?

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

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

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days 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, 27 days 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

    9. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 27 days 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, 27 days 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, 27 days ago

          It's the Spurs way.

          1. Bobby_Baggio
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 27 days ago

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

    10. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

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

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

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

      2. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Can you explain what their owners have done?

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

          Fiesta , Men Only , Reader's Wives etc
