Is Dele Alli or Christian Eriksen a more integral player for Tottenham?

Tottenham are a reliable team for Draft Fantasy output with Harry Kane being the star.

Do Joshua King’s goal-scoring exploits against Everton make him a genuine option?

Bournemouth’s struggles at the start of the new Premier League season can perhaps be accurately summarised by the fortunes of striker Joshua King, who had failed to score in his first five matches. The Norwegian international was by far their best player last season, scoring 16 goals in 36 Premier League games which included a hugely eye-catching run of 10 goals in the last 12 games of the year.

West Ham came agonisingly close to pulling off a remarkable come-back in a fiery London derby against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon as Harry Kane’s first-half double proved the difference.

Why the returning Eden Hazard will defy his recent record as Chelsea meet Stoke

Whilst Chelsea’s 0-0 stalemate with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge last weekend somewhat stalled the momentum that Antonio Conte’s men have been building, they have a welcome boost ahead of Saturday.

Andy Carroll vs Davinson Sanchez: Who should you pick for West Ham vs Tottenham?

In a re-match of the London derby that all-but ended Tottenham’s Premier League title challenge last season, Mauricio Pochettino will be vying to bounce back from yet another Wembley set-back. The stakes may not be as high at the London Stadium this weekend but it’s an important match at both ends of the table, with the job of West Ham manager Slaven Bilic still hanging by a thread and Tottenham needing another win on the road to balance out their inability to win at their new home.

With the shadow of Sadio Mane’s three-match suspension hanging over their heads, Liverpool supporters would have been delighted to see Philippe Coutinho’s return on Saturday afternoon.

Has this veteran Manchester United utility-man proven himself to be a worthwhile selection?

There are several players beginning to break through at their clubs and could prove to offer good options on waivers and free agency. One player that won’t be owned in a lot of leagues is Manchester United’s Ashley Young.
