Scouting The Doubles – Tottenham

Tottenham’s quest to muscle their way into a top four berth sees them welcoming a buoyant Swansea City side to the Lane on Wednesday, before making the short trip across the capital to face Queen Park Rangers in their second match of Gameweek 28. While there’s doubtless a couple of standout candidates for Spurs coverage in their double, the north London club’s recent exploits in domestic and European cups raises one or two questions regarding rotation.

The Prospects

First up for Tottenham is a match-up with the Swans on Wednesday evening. The visitors’ form has fluctuated in their previous 10 outings, yet back-to-back victories – which included the Welsh outfit’s first ever double over Manchester United – means Garry Monk’s side enter this clash in high spirits. Furthermore, they’ve recorded wins and clean sheets in two of their previous three road matches, shutting out Southampton and Burnley.

That being said, inspecting the underlying stats from their victory over Burnley suggests they aren’t dominating matches, with Swansea scraping the win through a Kieran Trippier own goal, having only fashioned two attempts on goal. In the wake of Wilfried Bony’s transfer to Manchester City and Bafetimbi Gomis’ sporadic attacking returns, Ki Sung-Yeung has emerged as an unlikely goal threat, registering two goals in his previous four starts. Considering Tottenham are without a clean sheet in their last four home ties, the South Korean midfielder will fancy his chances to build on a five-goal haul this term.

Spurs close out a testing run of four matches within the space of 10 days when they visit London rivals QPR on Saturday afternoon. R’s boss Chris Ramsey will hope to avoid a repeat of the reverse fixture, in which Tottenham humbled the Hoops 4-0 at the Lane. Charlie Austin, who’s scored six in his last nine appearances, will be central to the hosts’ desire to enact revenge.

The Likely Lads

Having netted 12 times in his last 11 league starts, Harry Kane is the form player of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) by some margin. Despite a fixture pile-up complicating matters, the 6.2-priced Kane remains an essential pick – however, bearing in mind that he’s the most popular player in the FPL by some distance (45% ownership), it’s likely that our additional coverage for the double could be key to making a difference.

After starting 34 consecutive league matches, Christian Eriksen (8.4) dropped to the bench for the trip to West Ham, with his manager clearly having one eye on the Capital One Cup Final. With Spurs now out of the Europa League and looking to bounce back from their loss to Chelsea, though, can Pochettino really afford to rest Eriksen as he looks to finish the season strongly? This hot topic by Jonty on Eriksen’s prospects is certainly worth a read.

Intriguingly, it’s worth noting that Eriksen has never gone more than three matches without finding the net this season – food for thought, given that’s he’s failed to notch in his last trio of appearances. With six sets of double figures already accrued and an average of 4.8 points per appearance, the Dane’s potential is obvious – little wonder over 80,000 have already snapped him up this week.

With uncertainty surrounding the other spots in midfield and the Spurs defence far from impressive, it could be argued that, aside from Kane and Eriksen, any other option looks no more than a punt. For those eyeing up the Spurs defence, Hugo Lloris (5.6) is nailed-on and has been the best points scorer, boasting an average (3.7) that surpasses that of Danny Rose (3.4) and Jan Vertonghen (2.9). This can primarily be attributed to his propensity for picking up save points, having made at least three saves in nine of his last 10 outings. Six clean sheets for the campaign hardly inspires confidence, yet QPR’s inability to score in three of their four home encounters increases the chances of a shut-out.

The Cheeky Punt

As highlighted by Ludo’s recent community article on Navigating the Spurs double Gameweek, rotation is a concern here and limits our reliable options. If you’re willing to roll the dice, though, Mousa Dembele (5.2) looked to have generated some momentum recently – with one goal and two assists in three outings – before he was hauled off at half time against West Ham following a wretched 45 minutes. Named amongst the subs yesterday, he has, nonetheless, started each of the last seven Premier League outings, whereas Nacer Chadli has failed to feature in the first XI in the league since Gameweek 22, at a time where Erik Lamela has started each of the last four. Chadli’s reinstatement to the first-team for yesterday’s loss to Chelsea perhaps hints at increased pitch time but, despite an impressive 4.6 points per appearance (Eriksen has 4.8), there’s no doubt he remains a real risky prospect in terms of guaranteed pitch time judging by recent team sheets.

Danny Rose has been an unlikely source of attacking returns in recent weeks. The left-back has started each of the last seven and tallied two goals over that period and, at 4.9, the former Leeds full-back is one of the cheaper routes into Spurs’ back line. Rose should be less prone to rotation than others, having been rested for their Europa League clash against Fiorentina, but Pochettino could still hand Ben Davies a start, thus slightly denting his prospects in spite of his recent form.

Jan Vertonghen looks the most likely defender to play from start to finish in both encounters, though the downside is that his form isn’t on par with Rose. While Eric Dier and Federico Fazio have shared centre-back duties, the Belgian international has completed Spurs’ last 15 league matches and scored in Gameweek 22. Potential investors will have to weigh up whether his 5.9 price tag is justified, though, considering the wealth of superior alternatives in that price bracket beyond the double Gameweek.

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

      2. BeachBadger

        Rotation would settle it alright lol Cheers anyways mate

  2. Zasa

    You have to be daft to save your FT this week, go Eriksenless and not captain Kane, right?

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Daft is one way of putting it

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        this. Some are even taking hits this week. I rather call it idiotic.

      2. Zasa
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You're probably right here Zan

    2. BeachBadger
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I was contemplating it but then I thought yeah bit daft not to use a FT for a DGW

      1. Zasa
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aye, definitely the sensible thing to do Badge

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      or captain Eriksen 😉

      1. Zasa
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Touche Rub, touche

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You can prob get by without Eriksen but no Kane will hurt especially since over 90% will cap him

          1. Zasa
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I think I'm just in a massive chasing frenzy right now, may just captain Kane to lessen the blow

            1. RubeRx
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Same here. I started like three weeks ago, going against the flock.
              I may cap Eriksen 😯

              1. Zasa
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                😯 risky choice there man,

  3. englandwins
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Kane or Aguero? Kane could be rested for one of the matches and Aguero is sure to score a few...

  4. The Left Duke #3
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Team selection ok including order of subs?

    GK: Panti
    DF: Terry, Kosceilny, Wollschied, Bertrand
    MD: Eriksen, Sanchez, Hazard
    FW: Aguero (vc), Kane (c), Austin

    SUB: Hutton, Elmohamady, Boyd & Heaton

    Also need to upgrade Elmo to a another quality MD but need the funds, who should I downgrade next GW (0.9m ITB).

    All suggestions appreciated, Cheers!!!

      Good to go

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 10 Years

        Thanks mate

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yep.

      no need for the position next time 😉

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        my bad 😉

    3. Tex
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Koscielny is probably only one that could bring in enough funds to upgrade Elmohamady much. Wollscheid won't do very much in releasing funds. I'd want to keep Terry and Bertrand. So prob probably Koscielny to cheapie and try to upgrade Elmohamady to maybe Mane, Puncheon or something

      1. BeachBadger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Bertie to Alder maybe?

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks for the suggestions lads, I've been thinking the same.
          Either Kosc --> Bellerin (if he continues to play)
          or Berty to Toby (if he ever returns from injury)

          or even Sanchez to Ozil/Santi/Theo if he blanks again, very frustrating to have 8 pts in 5 GW's from a 11m MD

  5. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good to go Guys?

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Vertonghen Bellerin Clyne
    Hazard Walcott Eriksen(C) Silva Sterling
    Kane Aguero(VC)

    1st Sub: PvA
    2nd Sub: Wollscheid
    3rd Sub: Ayoze

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yep. C & VC picks are too bold for my liking, though.

      no need for the bench numbers next time 😉

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        🙂 The bench numbering has become tradition for me
        After one particularly bad benching week I decided I needed to pay more attention to my subs order. So i felt like maybe giving them a little attention on my final RMT would be just enough. It oddly works a little? But at this point its more of a habit and tradition!

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tidy. I'd bump Wolly up to first sub. I really like the Eriksen captaincy pick.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm I was thinking about Wolly or PvA first sub, might just go with the former, thanks!

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's good
      Obviously the captaincy is debatable but I'm sure you have considered this 🙂

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm confident Eriksen will pull through!

        Its honestly between him and Kun for me I think, I want to have at least a little variation from Kane...and the allure of the DGWer was too much

    4. Nobodinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. Best of luck mate.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

    5. The Left Duke #3

      Wolly first sub for me

    SELL Sanchez or Caz for Eriksen?

    selling Sanchez allows me to get Vert/Walker instead of Rose

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla. I'd go without a Spud defender.

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rose is probably better to have than those two.

  8. Zasa

    Price changes, 3/3/15

    Risers - Foster Silva Yoshida Eriksen

    1. Nice to Finally Michu

      Why has PvA fallen?

      1. waldo666
        • 14 Years

        Gone from nailed to uncertain would be the reason I assume

      Thanks still no Austin raise nice!

    4. Tex
      • 10 Years

      Austin and Kane not going up is a bit strange

      1. waldo666
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agree with Austin but most would already have Kane

        1. Tex
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I was just thinking with the drop he had the other day most would want him back in.

      2. BeachBadger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Everyone has Kane already and those without are looking for a differential

      No Austin 😯 😀

    8. Zasa
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Np guys, think the PvA dropped was a consequence of the two goose eggs back to back and people rushed to sell. Many also sold on here for uncertainty, so there's that

      Anyone else feeling worried about Giroud game time this GW I'll be gutted if he's rested! I think Walcott may start this GW and not sure who will make way.. Might go Austin -4 feels right..right?

      1. englandwins
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I used a FT for Giroud > Austin but I don't think I would have taken a hit for it. I think he'll start and score.

      2. BeachBadger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        A little worried alright but most people Ive talked to seem pretty confident he'll start.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        I was more worried last week after his CL performance. Doubt Wenger will drop his favorite frenchmam esp after he scored vs Everton

      4. Jay Jay Okocha

        Was benched at home vs Leicester under similar circumstances. Wouldn't surprise me at all

        9 years, 8 months ago

        can't see it for me
        -a hit
        -dawson nailed on against a poor team
        -bell potential rotation against a team more likely than the team dawson is up against ?

      Getting Eriksen for Caz w/ one transfer.

      Second move (for free):
      A. Jones to Rose
      or
      B. Giroud to Austin

      cheers guys

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        I did A and forego B.

    17. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Howdy DZ, am ready to go for this week? Correct bench order? Used both FT. 4.3 ITB

      Lloris
      Clyne, Ivan, Dawson, Jones
      Hazard, Silva, Erikson
      Kane (C), Aguero (VC), Austin

      Krul, PVA, Puncheon, Downing

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Puncheon in for Jones?

      2. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Looks good would definitely play puncheon or Downing over Jones though.

        1. Aussie_Toon_Lad
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Over jones and PVA? Only thing is I don't like playing attackers against defenders (clyne)

          1. Blonde Faith
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Not tempted to play Puncheon over Clyne?

    18. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why no one getting Matty Phillips? Perfect punt for the DGW and can settle in nicely as a fifth midfielder freeing up funds for that big Austin upgrade next week. Puzzled why he's devoid of virtually every team I'm seeing on here 😀

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Waste of a transfer will never play him apart fro this week.

      2. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        reasonable diff if chasing

      3. Aussie_Toon_Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Is he nailed long term?

      4. BeachBadger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Most would have to drop a fairly heavy hitter just to play him

      5. Ser Football 42
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        too many midfielders scoring a lot of points at the moment to bench one or transfer one out for phillips

      6. Walsh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You guys are no fun.

      7. Zasa
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I just can't touch my front seven at the moment Walsh, if I had a weak 4th mid for the week like a Moses/Punch/Cattermole then I'd buy him. Just don't feel comfortable taking out anyone of Mane or Cout for him

      8. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Get him and keep him and your 5th mid? I was thinking about doing this with Bentaleb

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          as your 5th mid

        9 years, 8 months ago

        1 lesson I've learnt from DGWs - get the right DGE players, not just any DGW players.

        But I still went for Rose 😆

      10. Not Irish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Because I'm already taking a hit to get Ivan in next GW.

    19. Ser Football 42
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      which looks better?

      GUZAN
      KOMPANY, Cresswell, Ivan
      Sterling, Ozil, SANCHEZ, Hazard, Fabregas
      Aguero, Kane

      or

      FORSTER
      VERTONGHEN, Cresswell, ivan
      Sterling, ozil, Hazard, Fabregas, SINCLAIR
      Aguero, Kane,

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi

        2. Ser Football 42
          • 10 Years

          even with just one dgw player and guzan in goal?

          1. Tex
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yes. The 5th mid in comparison to the other is just an unreal upgrade. Long term that financial difference will likely tell.

      I think Clichy has a very good chance to start the next 3 matches..could be clean sheet central..should definitely start the latter two at least

      Leicester (h)
      Burnley (a)
      West Brom (h)

        Can't rely on him even if he does.

        Pulis does not approve of that defense.

              eh, I think they'll be fine..I'm not buying him anyways, already have him..and at this point he looks good to keep until after Brom

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yeah that's the doubt and if he doesn't, I have Alderweireld to step in

      4. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's what we think.

        i always see him as first choice. But then LOLarov keeps on trolling Clichy's owner. However, with the slim chance of MCI progressing in UCL and their absence in FA Cup, I think Clichy will see less rotation threat.

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          at least until after Brom when rotation continues as usual

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            maybe. maybe not. Kolarov can play in midfield too.

              • 11 Years

              yeah but why would he with Silva and Nasri fit 😉

            I wouldn't mind Sanchez scoring this week.

            He has been out of my team for quite a while because of value. But he's obviously going to score FPL points some weeks. This week when no-one will have him as captain will do. 😉

            1. Not Irish
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Kane is gonna put you to the sword.

            Caz -> Eriksen worth -4

            At the moment have:

            Haz Caz Alexis Silva Sterling

            Kane Austin Giroud

            If so, who do I bench for Eriksen?

            Gracias!

              9 years, 8 months ago

              Don't worry too much about the -4. Eriksen will play 90+ (potentially 180) minutes this week. Who you bring him in for is a tough one that I'm sure someone else can help you with.

              I would (for this week only) bench Giroud because both Kane and Austin have DGWs and your midfield all have really good fixtures this week,

              Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

                Some more food for thought.

                Austin (designated penalty taker)
                Kane (designated penalty taker)
                Cazorla (designated penalty taker)

            Am I right in assuming that taking a hit for Ivan isn't REALLY taking a hit for a defender?

              I would't argue with that.

                Also has an extra match in his pocket so effectively bringing in a DGW player.

                  Could have 2 DGW if United win v Arsenal as FA Cup semi is set for GW33 is it not?

              I'm considering putting him in for baines -4. Would play pva otherwise. Would be my planned transfer next week anyway and now I've thought about it so much I would be pretty annoyed if he did ought and I don't bring him in.

                Hows it going Innsie? I saw a lot of posts consoling you over your captains choice at the weekend during gametime. How did it work out for you?

                  Good thanks Badge, just in a ferry coming home from uni atm.

                  Yeah bloody Wenger eh, it wasn't too bad as I had Aguero as VC but I would've loved for Wally to have got some minutes just so I could cheer him on. 10 red arrows in a row now 😎

                    Yeah figured you werent so bad seeing as he didnt come on. My VC was ADM 😯

                    Just seen your tagline now. 10 is pretty depressing. Those were some lofty heights you were at. Just about managing to tread water myself with a few greens but theyre so small one bad week and Im all washed up lol

                      Yeah your rank is still awesome, I doubt I'll be able to catch you now. I'm confident of a green this week tbh, first time I've said that over the last 3 months 😆

                          Terry Bertrand Fonte
                          Sanchez Eriksen Hazard Silva
                          Kane Aguero Austin

                          No hits. A SOT cleanie would be lovely.

                            Solid team that. In the end I went without Austin myself and kept Giroud. Got Vert in for the DGW hoping he can get a monster haul lol

                              Could be a great shout! He's surely due a goal sometime soon 😉

                                fierce nervous. SO much maybes and twisting and turning. Guaranteed on of the players I contemplated getting will score big 😆

                                  Yeah I can also guarantee that Walcott will score this week right after I sold him. That's FPL for ya! 😆

                    Yeah.. And I thought West Ham vs Stoke will be the easiest ticket to get compared to Tottenham vs Villa / QPR vs Chelsea
