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.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Wet Spam have previous of playing their hearts out late in the season after 8 months of sweatless dross.

    you can't play the ball then clear the man out anymore, even if we think you should

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

      Exactly

      If it hard been an outfield player a foul would have been given

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        was a foul for the impact, but his touch meant it wasn't a goalscoring opp

  7. F4L

    Son has really improved of late; become much less selfish

  8. diesel001

    West Ham can't keep this up. Unfit team.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Haven't run around all season

      Pretty fresh

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

        Because they can't run around - so unfit.

  9. CloudSky

    This smells of an Alli rc.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      was just thinking this

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      Easy swap to Eriksen if so I suppose

  10. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    There are some extremely expensive footballer hairstyles that are so indulgent and weird but somehow Eriksen's cheap tufty look always looks the worst

      u saw bellerin the other week surely?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        I didn't know it was fashionable for London barber shops to have female UFC fighter's pictures as sample hair cuts....

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years

      Nah, its hes Tintin look

    3. Bazzalona
      • 14 Years

      We all know Eirksen does not spend much money on his hair

      He got his idea of how to gel his hair from the film Something About Mary

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Haha

    5. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Where's Letchkov when you need him? His hairstyle shows that he's more committed to the game than fashion.

  13. vectorman

    I see I've got the exact same midfield as Mark, should I be worried?. 😀

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

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

      No. He's top 1000 in the world, so must be doing something right.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe its because you are 'physics' and knew his team.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

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

      His defence is superior, did I fail to mention that bit?

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who? Double spurs, Haz, Sanchez and King I assume?

    6. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Look outside your window. Fplvirgin might stand outside stalking you...

  14. Fred54

  17. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Maybe the Dembele theory should be revisited?

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

      Not even a theory pretty sure it's a fact at this stage

  18. Lizard Lips

    Trigger and Ronka must be loving this as Costa over Kaners, wish I'd followed suit but Kane fear took over.

        Quick Triggerlips impression:

        "me me me, i am me
        i like me
        that's enough about me let's talk about you for a while.
        What do you think...about me"

    • 14 Years

    Dembele not on the pitch to drive Spurs forward, Dier and Wanyama are too defensive and don't have the same impact as Damebele does in that role

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

      Son off - Dembele on

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

        Son's done well, Dier should get outta here

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years

      Dembele will come on and all I gets a brace within 8 minutes

      Spurs just took tired to me. Took care of Arsenal w/o dembele pretty easily so

  22. Gudjohnsen

    How does Ben Davies look? A Season keeper or Rose in the team next weekend?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

      If rose is fit, he will play, end off

    Anybody else bench Vertonghen 🙁

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Was very close to captaining (joke) but I feel he will get a goal here

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

      Why did you do that given Spurs not conceded in their last 8 hours of football played?

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yup. Accidentally too for Yoshi. Could be worse I guess

    As a Kane only owner this wouldn't be the worst result but I need Spursto still be in the hunt for the sake of my Chelsea assets
