Seven players have reached double figures for goals and assists this season… and four of them play for Spurs!

TOTTENHAM are currently 14th in the Premier League having lost 15 of the 29 games in the top flight.

Ange Postecoglou's side remain active in the Europa League but if they fail to win that competition then the 2024/25 campaign will be deemed an abject failure on all fronts.

Despite this, Spurs players have generally performed very well in Dream Team this season.

This is best evidenced by a remarkable statistic; of the seven players to have reached double figures for both goals and assists in all competitions this season, FOUR of them ply their trade at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

PLAYERS WITH 10+ GOALS AND 10+ ASSISTS IN DREAM TEAM THIS SEASON:

• Mohamed Salah (£8m) – 32 goals, 22 assists
• Bruno Fernandes (£6.7m) – 16 goals, 17 assists
• Ollie Watkins (£5.2m) – 14 goals, 13 assists
• Son Heung-min (£4.7m) – 11 goals, 14 assists
• James Maddison (£4.2m) – 11 goals, 10 assists
• Dominic Solanke (£4m) – 11 goals, 10 assists
• Dejan Kulusevski (£4.4m) – 10 goals, 11 assists

It's almost beyond belief that the other 19 clubs have just three players who qualify for this exclusive group between them while Spurs boast four representatives.

This serves as a timely reminder for Dream Team bosses that while Postecoglou's side may be flawed in some aspects, they pack a punch in attack.

The aforementioned list doesn't even include the club's top scorer this season, Brennan Johnson (£3.3m), who has 14 goals to his name but just six assists.

A closer look at the league table reveals that only runaway leaders Liverpool have scored more goals than Spurs at this stage.

It was a similar story in the league phase of the Europa League too when only Galatasaray scored more goals from their eight fixtures.

Add in 13 goals from the domestic cups and it's clear Spurs have more than enough firepower – it's the defensive side of the game (and overall balance) that needs addressing.

The great thing for Dream Team bosses who don't support Spurs is they don't have to worry one bit about the club's real-world fortunes.

As long as their top assets continue to provide plentiful points it's happy days, regardless of the results.

A quick examination of the schedule suggests Gameweeks 30 and 31 could yield bountiful returns.

UPCOMING TOTTENHAM FIXTURES

• GW29: Chelsea (a)
• GW30: Southampton (h), Frankfurt (h)
• GW31: Wolves (a), Frankfurt (a)

Son, Solanke and Maddison should all be considered viable options for this run of games.

And Kulusevski may be the best selection of the lot if he is declared fit but gaffers will need a positive update from Postecoglou before bringing the Swedish playmaker back into the mix.

It should also be noted that Pedro Porro (£4.5m) has amassed 223 points – a tally only bettered by three players in his position – despite Spurs' defensive woes.
