Why Spurs weren’t able to thrash whipping boys Burnley

A lacklustre Tottenham side left it late to secure a 1-0 win over Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

As was predicted by some, Spurs looked hungover from their midweek European success in Barcelona.

We’ve analysed how they got on at Wembley Stadium to pull out some Fantasy Premier League talking points.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Burnley

Goals: Christian Eriksen (£9.3m)

Assists: Harry Kane (£12.6m)

Statistically, Harry Kane (£12.6m) had his worst Premier League performance since the Gameweek 10 in his Saturday afternoon outing against Burnley. In Gameweek 17, the talismanic striker had just two shots, his lowest total for seven league matches, when Spurs faced Manchester City. Neither of his efforts at Wembley on Saturday was on target either, and only one was taken in the box. It was a far cry from what we saw of Kane between Gameweeks 11 and 15 where he was offering an average of 4.4 goal attempts per game. The 1,151,183 managers who handed him the armband will perhaps consider themselves fortunate to have picked up a stoppage-time assist.

However, those already considering the premium man’s place in their squads should consider some mitigating factors. The first was the impact of Spurs’ midweek Champions League exploits. It was clear that they were left completely shattered by the performance they put on in Barcelona, Mauricio Pochettino’s men looking very laboured all afternoon at Wembley. This was not the first time that had happened to Spurs either. In fact, after all of their Champions League group stage matches this season they were less than convincing in favourable fixtures or were defeated by other top-six sides, as you can see from the table below. With the competition now off the calendar until February, we may not see so many below-par performances from them, but of course, the Premier League games will be coming thick and fast too.

Secondly, as a result of that trip to Spain, both Son Heung-min (£8.5m) and Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) were absent from the starting line-up. That meant Kane had to drop deep and wide to make up for the lack of creativity. Erik Lamela (£6.2m), Dele Alli (£8.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.0m) were the three chosen to play in attacking midfield behind Kane. None of them could provide service for the forward with no Spurs player creating more than the two chances each recorded by Danny Rose (£5.8m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m). Lamela was by far the biggest threat with seven efforts, four in the box and two on target but failed to convert, now six Gameweeks without an attacking return. However, he still had five more goal attempts than any of his colleagues.

Finally, Sean Dyche lined up his Burnley side in a very organised and compact fashion, deploying a 4-5-1 formation. The Clarets stifled what little cohesion Spurs showed and did not look much like the whipping boys we have seen in recent weeks. In the four matches prior to Gameweek 17, Burnley had allowed an average of 11.5 shots in the penalty box per game but conceded just 10 against Spurs. Furthermore, during that period they had been shipping an average of 13 open play goal attempts per match but allowed just nine on Saturday afternoon. It is hard to decide whether that was a result of Dyche’s shrewd tactics or Spurs’ European fatigue. In all likelihood, it was probably a combination of both.

“We thought it was going to be that type of game from our point of view. We came down here with a solid formation, with a change of shape. That’s not easy, but we’ve worked on it all week because I felt it was appropriate. I’m open-minded in that respect and I’ve thought about it many times, but I didn’t want to do it in a three-game week. But there’s been good signs now in four of the last five games. There’s a resilience again and the details are getting more clear-minded. We’re still a little bit away from taking that balance into the attacking side, but we aren’t playing teams like this every week. Of course, we need results, but a lot of the game is about mentality.” – Sean Dyche

The 235,000+ Fantasy managers who signed Son for this match were left disappointed by the fact that he was absent from the starting line-up for the first time Gameweek 12. His run of consecutive starts had run for four Gameweeks, his longest streak of the campaign. That had led many to believe that he would remain a permanent fixture in the first XI during December, but this was proof that he remains a benchable option in Pochettino’s mind. However, the 75 minutes of rest may be in Son’s favour as it does increase his chances of starting Gameweek 18. We also still believe that his expected absence in January for the Asian Cup will see him play more minutes over Christmas than those in competition for his place.

The introduction of Eriksen in the second half improved things for Spurs and it was indeed the Danish international who smashed in the winning stoppage-time goal. The fact that Pochettino has not started him since Gameweek 15 has clearly been with the intention of keeping him fresh. So Eriksen should feature a lot more over Christmas now, especially with further injuries in midfield.

It was revealed on Sunday morning that Eric Dier (£4.8m) will be out until at least the new year after having surgery for appendicitis.

“Eric Dier has undergone surgery to remove his appendix. The England international midfielder was diagnosed with appendicitis after contacting our medical staff due to acute Abdominal pain. He received immediate treatment to assess and then remove the appendix. He will now undergo a period of recovery before commencing rehabilitation and it is expected he will return to training with the squad in January.” – Spurs press release

Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) came back from injury to play all 90 minutes and keep a second successive league clean sheet at Wembley. However, the Spurs’ defence was still not at its usual full strength. Juan Foyth (£5.0m) did not come through his fitness doubt and Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) was left out of the match squad with a thigh injury. That meant Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m) was paired with Ben Davies (£5.6m) at centre-back and Rose had to play 90 minutes just days after doing so in Barcelona.

In midfield, there was a full Premier League debut for Oliver Skipp (£4.5m). He managed 75 minutes before being replaced by Son and rarely put a foot wrong. With further injuries in his position, we could see a lot more of him over the Christmas period, especially as Pochettino seems so fond of him.

“Fantastic, fantastic, I think he played like a 30-year-old man. So relaxed, trying to play forward and trying to give the team what the team needs, plenty of energy, full energy, I am so proud of him. I think everyone is proud of him. He is only 18-years-old and I think it was fantastic. Now I think it is going to be easy for him because always the debut you are nervous. I remember when it was my first game and I said to him ‘you look so relaxed. When I was 17, going to play I was so nervous’. I said ‘that is the difference between a player going to be a top player and a player who was going to be a normal player like me’. He in the last few months, of course in the USA in pre-season he shows that he can cope with the pressure to play in the first team and it was only about time and the possibility to give the opportunity. We are so happy.” – Mauricio Pochettino

The forgotten man Fernando Llorente‘s (£5.6m) made his first league appearance since Gameweek 9. In total, he has played just 21 minutes in the top flight this season, his introduction against Burnley out of desperation more than anything else.

While Burnley showed a slight improvement in defence, they remain anaemic going forward. The Clarets failed to register a single shot on target against Spurs, which is the third time they’ve done that this season. Remarkably, no other team in the league has achieved that feat more than once in 2018/19, cementing Burnley’s place as the division’s worst goal-scoring side. That boosts the clean sheet potential of Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next four Gameweeks.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Rose, Davies, Alderweireld, Trippier; Skipp (Son 75′), Sissoko; Moura (Eriksen 65′), Alli, Lamela (Llorente 82′); Kane.

Burnley XI (5-4-1): Hart; Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Long, Bardsley; Brady (Hendrick 90+2′), Cork, Westwood, Lennon (Vokes 90+3′); Barnes (Wood 80′).

    Anyone bargain hunting at Southampton?
    4.0m Yan Valery (DEF)
    4.2m Matty Targett (DEF) -had an assist yesterday-
    3.9m Jan Bednarek (DEF)- best CB yesterday imo, looks nailed as can be!
    5.2m Nathan Redmond (MID)- first attacking return last night, could be a ressurection for him!
    5.1m Stuart Armstrong (MID)-Had a scoring run recently, and had two shots well saved by Leno yesterday.
    5.4m Danny Ings (FWD) - The spearhead of the saints attack. The main man. 6 goals and 1 assist this season.

      Ings or nothing probably.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ings, Bednarek and MAYBE Arsmstrong offer good value, the rest are dud picks.

    3. QueefParkRangers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd rather go with Westham, defs or snodgrass or chica than any of those.

    4. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good post. Ings looks great. Those defenders are really cheap, not sure how good they are defensively though?

    5. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm guessing Valery and Targett will be short-lived - Cedric and Bertrand will come back soon. Bednarek is interesting if nailed though.

      Redmond - I'm not falling for that again 😀

    6. jdp219

      Have Bednarek. Have since day one. Four whole points this season. Straight ballin', yo.

  2. JasonG123

    Kane and Obiang to Hazard and Ings for -4 is crazy right?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, I'd go for it

    2. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not if you think Hazard will score more in the mid to long term and won't change back should Kane brace against Everton and Hazard blank

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      If we knew ings would stay healthy, hazard as well (seems fine) then I like the transfer for sure

    4. Gruu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      same plan mate. Kane Masuaku to Hazard Wilson or Sterling Ings for me. Will monitor midweek cup for sure

  3. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Good god, its been a few hours since full time, but Im still buzzing over that win vs Arsenal. Actually considering a -8, if you can believe it, just to get a few Saints players in !

  4. Warning Hazard ahead
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Darn, missed the Digne rise for Fraser & Pereira --> Richarlison & Digne which was the plan next week. Any thoughts appreciated on where to go from here:

    Ryan (4.0)
    Alonso Doherty Kolasinac (Pereira) (AWB)
    Hazard Sane (C) Anderson Fraser (Hojbjerg)
    Kane Auba (VC) Jiminez

    1FT 1.0mil

    1. Warning Hazard ahead
      • 9 Years

      If Kane doesn't perform, I'm thinking of getting back Aguero. Yay/Nay?

      1. Black Rabbit
        • 5 Years

        Wait mid week game, if Kun play I prefer Jesus in

    2. Warning Hazard ahead
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Alternatively I could set this up over the next three weeks:

      Ryan (4.0)
      Alonso Doherty Kolasinac (HOLIBAS) (AWB)
      Hazard Sane (C) Anderson STERLING RICHARLISON
      INGS Auba (VC) Jiminez

    Maximizing the cheapie forward line looks key at this point, seems like Wilson, Jiminez, Mitrovic is the cheapie template currently.

    Would like to bring in Chica/ings to shake things up to chip away with differentials. Anyone have early plans regarding similar transfers?

  7. Niho992

    Should i play Bednarek vs Hudd away and save transfer or bring Arsenal defender instead him?

    Are you guys starting Doherty and Jimenez against Liverpool?

    I think I will start them both and bench Diop (WAT) and Camarasa (MUN).

    1. Niho992

      I will just one between them. I think thats will be Jimenez.

    Are there any studies or theories about why there are so few girls/women playing FPL? There are plenty of women who are passionate football fans, but there's only a handful of women in my FPL minileagues. Every time I've tried to explain to women I know how fun and addictive FPL is, their eyes just glaze over. I don't doubt for a second that they would be at least as good at it as we blokes are, but they (generally speaking, of course) just don't seem to be interested. Why is that? FPL is in a way gambling, and I don't know any women who practice sports gambling either. This is curious to me... Any theories, guys and gals??

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don't know - I will say that I have absolutely no interest in gambling, but I do love FPL.

    2. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years

      I bet Gavin McInnes would give us a fantastic answer on this..

      but I think in general they don't care as much about bragging rights and imaginary/virtual dominant status as much as men do

      1. Bada Bing
        • 7 Years

        That sounds plausible. 🙂

          Btw, are you Chandler Bing's cousin?

            Not that I know of, just a big Sopranos fan (to me it's the best tv series of all time). 🙂

            1. Ross From Friends
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              100% agreed. I've watched it at least 3 times from start to finish and every time it gets more meaningful and elegant...

              1. Bada Bing
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Same here, you always notice something new every time you watch it. The script and the casting are just perfect.

    3. LSK

      Probably less willing to waste their lives than we are. Might be something to do with child-birth - the pain they go through makes life more precious.

      1. Bada Bing

        Another good theory.

    2 FT, 1.5 ITB and weirdly enough there is nobody in my team that I urgently want to get rid of. I could perhaps try to get Hazard in for Richarlison by downgrading Alonso. Any other ideas?

    1. mixology

      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Honestly I’d get in haz for son. Just did it actually as I would have been priced out. Spurs only have 2 days rest between each of next 3 matches if memory serves and just not keen to keep ( transfer waiting to happen anyway with Asia cup). You know Richarlison will play and great value for his price with great fixtures coming

      1. 5os
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'm hesitant to lose Son though. Given that he just got benched he seems likely to start the next few, before he heads off to the Asia cup.

          I meant to also say team looks fine as is , if you were certain in bringing haz in that’s how I’d do it. But if you’re just toying with the idea then you could stay put, team looks good

            5 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks, as I had said I didn't see too many problems with my team and Hazard would be the only nice to have. It's hard to fit everyone in that midfield though! I have to use a transfer but I could do something like Success -> Ings and save 1FT.

      Martial + who would go?

      1. davidmcnamara
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would have to be either one of the City boys. Do you think Sané still more susceptible to rotation than sterling on current form?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Sane has better form.
          Wouldn't want to lose one of them.
          No Mendy really helps.

  22. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    What if i told you AWB is only 1 cs behind premiums like walker,toby and costs 2-2.5m less (starting price). 😉

    Kyle Walker 6.5m - 7 cs 1 goal

    Toby A 6m- 7 cs

    AWB 4m- 6 cs 1 assist

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      When we talk about premium, its mostly Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Trippier, Van Dijk, Laporte etc 😉

      1. Bennison
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Walker is a premium def

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Highly owned at the start of season too

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years

          Just his price is premium

      2. HurriKane
        • 11 Years

        Still the point is he has offered great value
