Zaha has been tormenting opposition defenders this season with his silky moves

Son Heung-Min – Long term

After a sensational performance against Watford which included two goals and an assist, we’re sure Son will get us great points at a decent price. Despite Harry Kane’s return, Son’s form is such that he will definitely be accommodated somehow to deliver maximum firepower for Spurs.

Looking at how the team has played going forward, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad option to double on the Spurs front line with the likes of Alli, Eriksen and Kane along with Son.

A game against a not-so-defensively sound Bournemouth team is just the right fixture for Spurs to score goals. The Cherries have conceded 7 goals in their last 5 matches and have crumbled against superior teams.


#7 Wilfried Zaha – Short term

Zaha showed his brilliance in his last game against Arsenal where he single-handedly terrorised the Arsenal backline with his speed and trickery. The Ivory Coast winger will definitely play a crucial role if Palace are to avoid relegation and the manager will be counting on a player of his calibre to deliver the goods.

The former Manchester United player has scored twice and assisted 3 times in his last 5 matches and gets a call to our team due to his good form.

Crystal Palace host Leicester City this gameweek and the Foxes will surely have to keep an eye on not only Zaha but his wing partner Andros Townsend as well, who has shown that on his day, he can be an extremely difficult player to deal with.


#6 Christian Eriksen – Long term

Eriksen can chip in with a goal and also provides assists

Spurs midfield lynchpin Eriksen has grown by leaps and bounds during his time at the club.

The midfield has been firing and chipping in with goals in the absence of Harry Kane. Eriksen is not just a creator but has shown his impeccable goalscoring qualities this season as well.

The fact that he often takes set pieces makes him another solid option from midfield. Spurs’ firepower has compelled us to go for two players from the Spurs midfield.


#5 Roberto Firmino – Long term

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had sent out quite a different team last gameweek against Stoke and it was soon evident that they just couldn’t cope with the pressure that Stoke was putting on them.

The manager introduced Firmino to the game as a substitute and Liverpool’s attack slowly started ticking in, which clearly showed the Brazilian’s importance to their attack. The player has been involved in 4 goals for the Reds in their last 5 fixtures.

With a sweet run coming for Liverpool, it is imperative to get hold of someone from the Liverpool midfield who has the ability to not just score but create as well. Firmino fits our bill perfectly.
