The Vertonghen latest as Spurs struggle for goals ahead of Gameweek 37

Tottenham Hotspur have it all to do in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final after falling to a 1-0 home defeat to Ajax on Tuesday evening.

What impact Spurs’ European exertions have on Mauricio Pochettino’s team selection in Gameweek 37 remains to be seen: the Lilywhites take on Bournemouth this weekend, with their two Champions League matches falling four days either side of their trip to the Vitality Stadium.

There is still much to play for in the Premier League, of course, and a win over the Cherries on Saturday lunchtime would guarantee a top-four place.

Pochettino demonstrated against West Ham last weekend that he had neither the inclination nor the available bodies to make wholesale changes to his starting XI in the league and rest players ahead of last night’s game, emphasising the importance of the match against the Hammers in his pre-match press conference.

The Spurs head coach’s comments about his players suffering from “stress and fatigue” after the West Ham loss were a concern, though.

We examine the north London club’s latest 1-0 home defeat in our Scout Notes article below.

Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Ajax

Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) added to Spurs’ injury woes on Tuesday evening after picking up a head injury in the loss to Ajax.

Already without the services of Harry Kane (£12.6m), Harry Winks (£5.5m), Erik Lamela (£5.9m) and Serge Aurier (£5.7m), the Lilywhites were forced into replacing Vertonghen before the break following their centre-half’s clash of heads with teammate Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m).

Owned by 7.6% of the top 10k at the point of the Gameweek 36 deadline, Vertonghen had missed Saturday’s match against West Ham with “fatigue” but recovered to line up against his former employers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A groggy-looking Vertonghen played on for a few minutes after sustaining his head wound but soon had to be helped from the field and looked unsteady on his feet.

Subsequent reports suggest Vertonghen passed initial concussion tests and Mauricio Pochettino was fairly upbeat about the player in his post-match press conference, saying:

Now is okay, now is good. He was walking away, was more relaxed. Hope it is not a big issue. He has walked out of the stadium now. Hope that he is well, you need to keep eyes watching him and monitor him because it was a big knock but at the moment, he is okay.

Asked about the decision to allow Vertonghen back onto the field after he had sustained a head injury, the Spurs boss added:

Wasn’t my decision. For me, first of all your life, we must protect the player integrity and of course, I wasn’t out of the conversation. Our medical staff follow the protocol and they decide that was possible to restart the game and possible to play again but of course, it was Jan in that moment, when the following action, he start to feel unwell and we need to change him and to put out.

Even if Vertonghen passes the next round of concussion tests on Wednesday, there has to be some doubt over his involvement at the Vitality Stadium this weekend.

Vertonghen’s injury inadvertently helped Spurs get back into the match on Tuesday, with substitute Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) providing the drive and urgency from midfield that was sorely lacking in the first half an hour.

Ajax dominated in the first 30 minutes, registering six shots to Spurs’ one in the first third of the game.

Donny van de Beek was allowed plenty of time to finish past Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) after a quarter of an hour and the Ajax goalscorer should have slipped in David Neres for a tap-in ten minutes later instead of going for glory himself.

Neres also hit the post later in the match with Lloris rooted to the spot.

The 5-3-2/3-5-2 that Pochettino had initially deployed was swiftly abandoned in favour of a 4-4-2 diamond, with Victor Wanyama (£4.9m) playing as the anchor, Sissoko and Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) either side of him, and Dele Alli (£8.8m) as the tip of the midfield four.

Alli’s Fantasy appeal has been dented in recent months but this was the second successive match that the former MK Dons midfielder was used as the most advanced player in a 4-4-2 diamond, with Eriksen forced into a more deeper role.

Alli had more efforts on goal (three) than any of his teammates and registered Spurs’ only shot on target, which was comfortably dealt with by visiting goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Alli had another effort blocked and nodded a Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) cross over but to say he was an attacking menace would be a gross exaggeration – both Alli and Eriksen disappointed on the big stage, with Eriksen letting the game pass him by and failing with a third of his passes.

Lucas Moura (£6.8m) was arguably the pick of Spurs’ FPL midfield assets but his driving runs amounted to little and it was perhaps no surprise that Pochettino’s side posed such little attacking threat given that they were without the injured Kane and suspended Son Heung-min (£8.9m) up front.

Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) battled gamely in attack (one excellent piece of footwork leading to a chance for Alli) but his mistimed first-half header from a Trippier free-kick was his only attempt of the match and highlighted his own limitations as a striker.

Asked about Spurs’ lack of opportunities, Pochettino said:

We did not create many chances. We arrived in the last third but we did not find a way to create clear chances. Of course, there was the feeling that we can score but always we missed the last pass or shot.

In the second half, we took more risks and we tried to go forward and we allowed them a few chances.

You know very well that today was not our best game from the beginning. We are agreed that we cannot start the game like this. But they were fresh, they were more proactive than us.

Pochettino was also asked about his use of a five-man defence but highlighted the lack of fit options currently available to him, saying:

I can accept it was a mistake the shape we used but there were not too many options. I am not happy but you cannot guess what happens if we play in a different way.

It was not the shape that conceded the goal. Our approach to the game was not good. I am the manager so I have responsibility.

The dearth of attacking options available to Pochettino was underscored in the 80th minute when, with Spurs chasing the game, Trippier and Danny Rose (£5.8m) were replaced by Juan Foyth (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£5.6m).

Trippier again failed to convince from a defensive perspective but did supply headed opportunities for Alli, Llorente and Alderweireld from either a set piece or open play.

Rose, meanwhile, very briefly reprised the “out of position” central midfield role that he operated in against West Ham on Saturday, before Sissoko’s introduction saw him switch to left-back.

Whether either full-back will be involved against Bournemouth on Saturday has to be questionable, with Foyth and Davies able to deputise.

Owners of Spurs’ midfield assets will be encouraged by the lack of available options that Pochettino can rotate with but the Spurs manager’s post-match comments about a lack of energy will again be a concern going into Gameweek 37.

Pochettino said:

The team didn’t show the energy that we wanted to show. I think they showed more energy than us.

I think the way that we conceded the goal was so painful. We were so poor in this action and it’s true, I agree with you, in the first half hour of the game we struggled because they showed more energy, they were more proactive than us. That was the key.

I think after 30 minutes, we start to equalise the game. Of course with Sissoko in, we started to play better, we started to show more energy. But of course we started to play better and the second half was much, much better. We pushed them to play deeper and we started to press in the way that we wanted to press.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (3-5-2): Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen (Sissoko 39′); Trippier (Foyth 78′), Eriksen, Wanyama, Alli, Rose (Davies 78′); Llorente, Lucas Moura.

    A) Trippier/Eriksen/Firmino -> Laporte/Jota/Aguero for a hit?
    B) Eriksen/Firmino -> Jota/Aguero

    Afraid Trippier will be rested again, Eriksen doesn't look optimal with form and CL.
    Jota's last game not ideal but Fulham at home tasty (even though they have kept three clean sheets in a row.

      B looks great..

    2. TKFC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B looks good, but if you need Laporte for your first 11 and he gets clean sheets over a non-player it’s worth the hit

      1. joakimosterberg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. Difficult, I will get in Valery (WHU away) instead of Trippier if he's rested.
        When I think about it, I suppose the most likely outcome is Valery 2 and Laporte 6 which would make it a +/- 0-transfer.
        And I guess Trippier could play. So maybe best to not take that hit and get Laporte for the last game.

      Yeah B looks good

  2. Shatner's Bassoon

    Bottoms up:

    Money no object.

    Hazard or Pogba?

    Talk to me.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Tsssst
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba for ownership
      Hazard if chasing

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba - I've always liked playing the fixtures

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Same. He's just been so poor lately. Feels like I'm hoping for jammy pens again.

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          plus the two teams he is playing against have conceded 15 pens this season (I am sure I read that somewhere?)

        2. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Why are penalties jammy? They're part of the game and the reason that certain players are better than others.

    4. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard

    5. mrmrscott
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard will most likely score more points

    6. Greek Flair
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Money no object why don’t you gets salah? Or do you already have him?

  3. FPL Maldini

    So let me get this straight, Rashford has been witnessed training but Lukaku wasn’t?

    1. Pap Le Cissier

          Are you secretly WR?

  4. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How does this move sound? 99k and chasing...

    Eriksen + Lukaku > Hazard(TC) + Rashford -4

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If rash fit then yes

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Actually scrap that no don't like those moves

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Explain?

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd just triple captain whichever United striker is fit.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        No chance- Bang out of form. Chose not to do Mane last week so I'm not placing it on a player out of form who plays for a team who's out of form.

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    If Rashford fit thinking -4 for
    Long to Rashford and Eriksen to Redmond or JWP ( with Huddersfield in mind next week )

    Good moves or not ?

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Seems fair (Redmond)

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He hasn't looked fit for quite a few games now though

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      no

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not keen on those moves.

  6. PompeyUpNorth!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Right, I need some advice please... 1 F/T .1 ITB. Leading main cash league by 83 and 99. Their main differentials are Jota, Pogba, Wilson and Laporte.
    What do I do or is my lead enough and I should just do my own thing? Second spot still has TC for info, but teams are similar and he has Jota.

    Foster (Ryan)

    Valery TAA Doherty (Duffy, Bed)

    Sterling Salah Son Mane (Hojberg)

    Ag Jimmy Perez

    Cheers!

    1. joakimosterberg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Do you mean you have two behind you with 83 and 99 points gap?
      You could do Doherty -> Laporte. I know the Fulham-game looks good for Doherty but they have Liverpool in the last game and no one would be surprised if City kept two clean sheets.
      If you save the FT, that move next week looks obvious as well as Jimmy -> Wilson?

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you.. Yes second is 83 behind with TC and he only has Jota and Laporte different to mind really.
        The other with no chips is 99 behind, but has Wilson and Pogba..

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would do your own thing and save transfers for final week. Jota has hard fixture in week 38 away at Liverpool.

    3. MTPockets
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Very unlikely that they catch-up on ~90pts

      • joakimosterberg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        But I agree, do your own thing, (almost) impossible to eat up 80 points in two gw's against your team.

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks everyone.. I am reassured as I was concerned about Jota in the main.. Saving transfer seems the best way I think, pending Champs League .. I appreciate the replies thanks..

          1. joakimosterberg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            To be honest, I think you can open up a bottle and celebrate the minileague-win already. 🙂

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              Ha ha. Ok will do thanks ..

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      What scores more? will determine my transfer this GW:

      A) Pogba (hud, CAR) and Valery (HUD) -4 points
      B) Wilson (TOT), Redmond (HUD) and AWB (BOU)

      Already have Pogba and deciding if I should lose him or Brooks (-4) to get Hazard.

    5. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Afternoon wise ones. Which one from now please? 2FT and 0m ITB. Thanks to those that have replied already.

      Lloris
      Laporte - Bertrand - Robbo
      Mane - Son - Eriksen - Jota
      Aguero(TC) - Jimenez - Gray

      (Foster) - Valery - Duffy - KDB

      A) Duffy + KDB > TAA + Pogba/BSilva
      B) KDB + Eriksen > Sterling + Milli or 7.2m max.
      C) KDB > 9.6m mid and have 2FT for last GW
      D) Anything else

    6. The Ejiptian King

      Good abternoon, narrowed it down to these moves, which do you prefer?

      Lloris Foster
      TAA Doherty Valery (Bednarek, Dunk)
      Sterling Mane Jota Son Eriksen
      Aguero Jimenez Wilson

      2 FT, 0 ITB

      A) Eriksen, Dunk > Redmond, VVD/Robertson // Bench Redmond and start Wilson, means I don't have to play Valery and can start Redmond 38, risky as Liverpool need to keep a CS away to Newcastle. Doherty > Laporte in 38.

      B) Eriksen > Pogba, bench WIlson then Jota, Doherty > Redmond, Laporte in 38.

      1. MTPockets
          4 years, 11 months ago

          A. Less of a benching headache & VVD/Robertson trump Valery

            Thanks for answering twice, glad you didn't change your mind on it! I ruled out Hazard, I'd like him for this week but it's not worth wasting a transfer on Wilson to Long.

            Interesting, you have double Liv defence and would recommend Pogba over it for the last two?

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Yep
              Newcastle & Wolves might ruin 1 CS.
              That boat has sailed imo ( i enjoyed it post WC)

              Re Pogba, it doesn't get better than Hudds & Cardiff. I'm also looking @ Rashford in last gw as planned FT to get Hazard for Mane

              1. Amey

        • Richd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I like B.

          However next week personally I won’t be doing a -4 and just Jota or Jimi to Redmond, Zaha or someone like that.

          I suppose your defenders for 38 will be poor but clean sheets are generally poor in 38 anyway!

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            The moves for B will be free! No hits for either, defence for 38 on B will be TAA, Laporte, Valery.

      2. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Current team for Next GW:

        Lloris
        Laporte Robbo Valery
        Son Mane' JWP Bilva
        Aguero (c) Jimenez(vc) Firmino

        subs: Foster Hughes Duffy Dunk

        Which is better?

        A- Duffy > Shaw.
        B- Duffy > Doherty.
        C- JWP > Jota. (But then I will need JWP/Redmond for GW38).
        D- Firmino > Rashford
        E- Any combination for -4?

            Thoughts on Lucas to Hojberg this gw. Then Jota, Jimi to Pogba, Zaha for final gw?

            Son or Eriksen out?

            1. MTPockets
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Son didn't play vs Ajax. Full game for Eriksen, so probably him

                4 years, 11 months ago

                Erik is playing deeper again as well so keep son more explosive and will or should be leading the line

              4.3m ITB & 1 FT

              Got all this money ITB and no idea what to do this week...any ideas besides getting Sterling which I don't want to do?

                Richa to Hazard

                1. Scotty B
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Rocha home to Burnley

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Hazard has even better home fixture

                    1. Scotty B
                      • 11 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      I'm 0.2 off that transfer anyway

                Rondon to Rashford if fit?

                1. Scotty B
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Yes that's an option

              This might sound pretty pathetic, but I'm tracking my ML rival's transfers and just wondering if this is correct:
              If he bought Son at 8.5 and sells him now (at 8.9), and brings in Pogba (8.5), this results in:
              - His squad value to go down by 0.4
              - His money in the bank to go up by 0.2

              Think I’m doing Eriksen >> Pogba with my first FT. What would you do with the money?

              A. Foster >> Guaita
              B. Duffy >> Shaw (bench Gray)
              C. Foster+Gray >> Guaita+Zaha (-4)
              D. Save FT (have 2FTs in 38)

              Foster
              Laporte. TAA. Doherty
              Sterling. Mané. Eriksen. Son
              Agüero. Jiménez. Gray
              (Ryan, Højbjerg, Bednarek, Duffy)

                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Difficult b/c Deeney back but Gray's scored in last 2 so will he keep starting?
                  B/D

                  1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 7 Years

                    B or D are probably my preferences. Thanks

                4 years, 11 months ago

                How do we rate Pogba for his final 2? Tasty fixtures but neither the team nor player are in form and has no good underlying stats whatsoever barring a couple of penalties. However, does have a reputation as a flat track bully.

                1. Lav
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  I may go with Bernardo

                  1. InvertedWinger
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    As a half season Bernardo owner, his positional flexibility leads to some unpredictability in returns. His stats out wide had been far better than back in the central role we're expecting him to take up now without KDB and Fernandinho

                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      I tend to agree with this but he played as one of the 8's against Burnley - 5 shots inc 3 in the box and 5 key passes. I think he's a good option regardless of where he plays for the last 2.

              6. Lav
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Eriksen to

                A. B.Silva
                B. Pogba

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  B

                2. InvertedWinger
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  Bernardo Pogba or Sigurdsson is my dilemma this week. Finding it hard to separate them.

                  1. FPL_Crisis
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Great shout think I will bring in Siggy along with Hazard to replace spurs boys

                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  I'd go Bernardo Silva.

                • 10 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                For last 2,

                A. Eriksen, Zaha
                B. Son, Rashford

                1. mrmrscott
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  B

                2. MTPockets
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    B, assuming Rashford fit

                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Zaha and Son lol

                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Son + Zaha definitely.

                3. De Gea is GOAT
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 11 months ago

                  One last time guys! Who gets the biggest haul this GW? Thanks heaps!
                  A) Siggy
                  B) Anderson
                  C) Mili
                  D) Antonio
                  E) Rashford (Have to get rid of Vardy)
                  F) Zaha (Same as above)

                  1. Bat Man
                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    E if fit. Maybe Zaha

                    1. De Gea is GOAT
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      Worth taking out Vardy? Its either him or Eriksen out. Thanks lads

                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Sigurdsson for me.

                    1. De Gea is GOAT
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      Im also feeling Siggy but Burnley are just so defensive. Cant see Everton putting more than 2 against them. I already have Digne for cover.

                      1. avfc82
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                        • 14 Years
                        4 years, 11 months ago

                        I can see it being tight but Burnley do concede away from home - 2 at Chelsea, 1 at Bournemouth, 4 at Liverpool, 2 at Newcastle etc.

                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                          4 years, 11 months ago

                          Thanks guys! Might have to reconsider as i had my heart set on Milli. Would it be worth putting both Siggy and Digne and ignoring CP cover?

                  1st bench option? (I know this nitpicking, but I'm 2 points of top in ML and you never know)
                  A) Duffy (ARS a)
                  B) Perreira (MCI a)

                  Sell Son and Eriksen for Sterling and Redmond?

                    Yes

                    Atleast get rid of one...

                      Getting rid of one probably means I could get hazard or Bilva

                        I got rid of Eriksen for Pogba this week, but I already own Hazard, Sterling and Mane.

                        I'd probably save Son if I was you.

                  If Firm is still a doubt on Friday I feel like it's worth taking a hit to get rid.
                  Looking at: Martial + Firm -> Haz + Zaha

                    He should be fit, and I'd hold Martial too if he can play.

                      If he is fit I'll gladly keep Firm.
                      If Martial was a sure starter he would get one last chance in my team but there is just so much uncertainty.

                        Yeah it must be frustrating, I'd be worried about taking him out tho - if he does start you could be looking at a big score, and what a differential.

                  Looking at taking out KDB and erik, who scores most over the next 2?

                  A. Salah and a 6m mid or less (I.e Redmond)

                  B. Hazard and Pogba

                    B

                  Looking for differentials to get into top 50k (currently 70k). Which moves?

                  A) Erik > Sane/Bilva
                  B) Mane, Erik > Sterling (c) > Siggy(-4)
                  C) Mane, Erik > Hazard, Sane/Bilva(-4)

                  Already have Aguero and Firmino.
