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.

    Alonso Cahill Yoshida Monreal Chambers
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Chamberlain

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      Better wait .. Hazard Cahill and Alonso look like SGWers ... they can clinch after the first game next week

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years

        Good call. Many thanks!

  4. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So it looks like Gibson,Kane > Monreal,Costa -4 for 14 DGWers + T.Carroll v Sunderland.

    Carroll > Albrighton worth another hit?

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

      you want to do this tonight.?.. not sure about the rest of this week... Costa may be a SGWer next week.

    This Spurs team have been the best team in England over the last two years, it's pretty sad that they've got nothing to show for it.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Better than Chelsea this season? don't think so.

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

        he said over he last 2 seasons though. chelsea were dreadful last year

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

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

      can't get out of their champions league group, can't get to domestic finals...havent finished in top 2(yet)

      what exactly are they best at?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        *struggle in Europa League too

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

        ultimately this point is correct, however fishingly put

      3. Leaf

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Well said sir

      4. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        They haven't been absolutely brilliant, but that doesn't mean that any other English team has been better over the last two years.

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

          From the start of the 2015/16 season until now, Spurs have 147 points compared to 131 and 121 for Chelsea and Leicester. Obviously winning the league once is more impressive than coming close twice, but Spurs have been the most consistent in the League over two seasons.

    3. nonprophet
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think Leicester and Chelsea are better sir

    4. Ayew Holding Mee Cork

      Another person brainwashed by the English media.

      1. Digital-Real

        +1

  6. NATSTER

    Which combo do you look best for DGW37 ?

    A : Jaku + Baines + Gabriel + Sane + Costa

    B : Cech + Baines + Kosc + Zaha + Costa

            Yea only way. Otherwise in this case you forget and it's a 40pt hit!

            Aye.. no point in waiting if ur going to play it. Just trying to mess about with player price change impacts

  9. Lallana_
    • 12 Years

    That sad moment when Sane stares at your Kane/Alli on 2pts each from the bench

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

      In the same boat - I have Gabbiadini on the bench 🙁

  10. TorresMagic™

    Green arrows for the 4 point brigade 🙂

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

      6 points here with Kane, Eriksen and Alli.

      Top 1k here I come 🙂

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      4 points for Kane/Alli - only silver lining was benching Bavies. All rivals in same boat though.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What about 4 -4

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

    I am glad i got Ake now at least on my wc great chance he plays in 37 and 38 after Spurs capitchulated

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

      As long as Luiz is fit, he will only get 1 game max in 37 though and maybe 38 but Terry/Zouma linger.

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

      That was very astute Ogie.

    3. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He'll get one in GW37 maybe - really not sure what we'll see from Chelsea in GW38 now with the Cup Final looming.

  15. For Fuchs Sake

    Vert a doubt for DGW now then?

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

      Why would he be?

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

      Why ?

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Tactical sub

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

      Vert was on one bonus point before the goal

  16. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is it safe to come out from my Kane and Alli - less sofa?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      very though all different if adrians foot wasnt a funny shape

  17. MTPockets
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Spent so long deliberating between Alli/Eriksen...

  18. :
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else wildcard all their Spurs players right out of their team because the time was right?

  19. ceerus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best def 5.1 for gw37 and 38? (have yoshida, alonso, kone, chambers)

    9 years, 2 months ago

    GW 37:

    Gibson to

    A) Holgate
    B) Kone/Love

    Zaha to:
    1)Pedro (for -4)
    2) Save

  21. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Triple Spurs fail but still 12 to go including Captain! Glass still pretty full 🙂

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      18 to go for me.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years

        Nice 🙂

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

    Anyone else regretting going Kane over Costa?

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

      Stuck record . Move on.

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

      Have both but not Jesus

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A bit, but I wanted double Chelsea def

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

      More like regretting Kane over Sanchez for me now.

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

      Kane was always the better option for me - Costa has had that one big return, whereas Kane has been a machine, is on pens etc. So much more in his favour.

      For all we know, Costa could be abject vs Boro for all the talk of China over the last few days - Conte has said today he wants Costa to concentrate on the "now",

      Also, doubts over both Costa and Kane for GW37 now if the title is won in Chelsea's next two.

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

        victor anichebe could be the top scoring forward next week

      2. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The result creates a lottery in FPL now.

      3. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        +1

      4. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Remember there is also GoldenBoot race so I can't see Kane or Costa being rested at all

    6. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I can see Costa being benched in the last two games if the title is sealed. I doubt Kane will be benched.

      This is pretty much why I decided to not go too heavily into Spurs and Chelsea. With the other teams you know what you are getting for most of the season.

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

    Kane>Jesus
    Alli>Sanchez

    next week is tempting

    Think the Chelsea lads will play up until GW38 where they'll get rested

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

      but Kane and Alli will play next week too AND in 38... I think CHE players out as a priority for 38 is most important... don't want to have Hazard, Costa, Alonso ~25-30m on bench...

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

        Yeah, I guess it's good to save FT

        I have only Costa/Hazard for now with 2FT so I should be OK

      2. MTPockets
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Probably but not necessarily. For Chelsea have 1st game of 37 driver. Spurs may have neither.

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

      kneejerk

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      not sure on this they can just stroll through the meaningless games and come off on the hour. party tricks etc

  24. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Nearly everyone will have 4 pts who plays this game. Only Kane Caps should be sad. Like my mini league rival.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lanzini owners will be happy.

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

        only about 1%. but i hope this gentleman took me up on my "Lanzini First Goalscorer" bet - http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/05/05/spot-the-differential-gameweek-36-5/?hc_page=12#hc_comment_15624408

  26. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    fair to say spurs at the lane are a different animal. playing at wembley will hurt them big time

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs will get mid-table for the next 2 seasons and then win the title when they have no European football and they're at their new stadium

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
