Next up in our summer series of members’ articles, we move to focus on one of the key sources of Fantasy talent – Tottenham Hotspur.
We start by analysing their performance on a team level, assessing last season’s data in order to spot trends and areas improvement. Following that, we drill down into the player data, pinpointing the key individuals.
For this article, we also focus on two specific points of interest for Fantasy managers – assessing the Dele Alli versus Christian Eriksen conundrum, while weighing up the allure of Harry Kane as a “fire and forget” captaincy option.
It’s fair to say that Mauricio Pochettino’s side showed their mettle last season after a disastrous end to 2015/16 saw them pick up two points in the final four fixtures and tumble out of the title race.
Spurs improved their points haul from 70 to 86 and also scored far more goals than beforehand – a total of 86 was far superior to 69 in the previous campaign and more than any team in the top-flight.
6 years, 10 months agoIt's still all about the captains mainly. We need two or three to ensure we get goid coverage of easy fixtures and if we only have two make sure we use our transfers to bring the right ones in at the right time.
It's not Kane and Sanchez or Aguero and Lukaku...or any other combination of any number of players...it's all of them at the right time.
This won't be an RVP or an Aguero season of old where they dominated captain picks as the best players by a long way week in and week out, it will be several good captain picks that we will need to put in the right order.
