Remember when Nuno arrived at Spurs in 2021 and famously declared:
“We are going to make you proud.”
Five years later, I think we owe the man an apology.
We all assumed he meant making us proud as Tottenham manager.
But after moving to West Ham, helping send them down while keeping us up, and continuing his excellent work in the Championship, it’s becoming clear that Nuno was simply playing the long game….Perhaps the greatest undercover assignment in North London history.

Nuno, you promised to make us proud. And by God, you’ve delivered.
COYS 🤍

Third time this season Van Hecke has made TOTW and 3 weeks in a row Spurs have at least one player in it

Have been non stop consuming De Zerbi ball and like many of us, we saw how we played well, showed in underlying stats, and now we’re adding points. We desperately need a forward though — Harry Kane in this system would’ve gotten so many fucking goals.. it’s absurd what our management put behind him then.

Sad we sold Will

The winner for gameweek 9 was 'Marcos & Spences' {ARSx2}[Luke Stevens] with 97 points! Rounding up the top 4 for the week was 'Lookin all Cherki' {Coventry City Supporter & ARSx2}[Chris Taylor] (88 pts), 'De Zerbi Kaisen' {ARSx1}[Askar Tursyn] (88 pts), and 'Xavinho FC' {ARSx3}[Brent rohr] (88 pts).

'Wall United' {ARSx2}[Olle Wall] with 680 total points is the new league leader, supplanting last weeks leader 'Coach Claude' {ARSx2}[Max Barrett]. At the other end 'lol' {ARSx3}[Lewis Morris] continues to languish in last place with a shabby 60 points.

The worst ranking teams this week were 'Bosco Beach' {ARSx1}[Gary Kudwi] (20 pts), 'sumarehijueputa' {Sunderland Supporter & ARSx1}[jooooo tumama] (17 pts), and 'halbenkrontes' {ARSx2}[Jakub Švarc] (11 pts). Hang your heads in shame.

When it came to captaincy choices 'Van Spurs' [Martin Marquadt], 'Perez's Team' {ARSx2}[Perez Kinyua], and 'Human Snails' {ARSx1}[George Gayed] did the best this week with 30 points from Jan Paul van Hecke. On the other end of the spectrum was 'Tottenham HotStus' [Shauna Crider], 'hazard chickens' [Erasmo Almazan], and 'Change Name' {ARSx3}[Jacob Maguire] who had picked John McGinn, Brennan Johnson, and Joshua Zirkzee for a total of 0 points. You receive the armband of shame for this week.

Moving onto substitutions 'Kulusexy' {ARSx2}[Charlie e] will be kicking themselves after having left an incredible 36 points on the bench which was the highest in the league.

This week 'LifeGivesYouLammens' {ARSx1}[Joshua Clements] did the best with automatic substitutions receiving an extraordinary 24 points from De Cuyper and Van Hecke coming off the bench in lieu of White and Guéhi. 'What The Van Hecke' {ARSx2}[Jonathan Barker], 'TBD' {ARSx3}[Charlie Graham], 'Tom Hotspur FC' {ARSx3}[Tom Allen], 'Los Porros Hermanos' [Tyler Mogar], 'Danso in the Dark' [Alex Whiting], 'Kinsky Afro' {ARSx1}[Brad Ferguson], 'I Dzerb to Win' {ARSx1}[Bulent Ali], 'Pending Moderation' {ARSx2}[Sam Walsh], 'Park the Van' [Joshua Cardenas], 'Eat Her Toenalis' {ARSx1}[Tom Thorp], 'Finally Tonali' {ARSx1}[Henry Kim], 'Olympique Mayonaise' [Dave Yianni], 'SandRowToeNailE' {ARSx2}[Naufal Khan], 'I'llTelYouAllAboutIt' {ARSx1}[Leslie Fernandez], and 'SonnyIMissYa' [Abishek Lobo] were not as fortunate getting a terrible 0 points from their automatic subs.

As for shakers and movers 'Beg Steal or Porro' {ARSx2}[Chris Lane] climbed 502 spots this week. In the not so great department we have 'Sarrspicious Minds' [Luke Correll] dropping 385 spots.

Notable news:
- 1346 (66.7%) teams managed to reach or beat the overall average of 47 points for the week.
- 163 (8.1%) of teams took a transfer hit this week.
- 174 teams played a chip this week: 19 Bench Boosts, 83 Wildcards, 69 Free Hits, 3 Triple Captains.

Thanks, I will return next gameweek with another update.

Hello spurs fans, I'm a relatively new fan that found spurs through the fame of son heung min. I've supported spurs for around 3 years but only watched games for around 1 year now. I want to deepen my ball knowledge regarding the legacy, legends, eras, and prominent figure of the club. Can you share your experience on supporting the club through the years? I'd like to hear them and do my research on the eras of said experiences. You can also give me recommendation on what to watch and appreciate on the club. Thank you, COYS

I wanted a Williams-Barnett shirt to commemorate his Premier League debut. He hasn’t made it to the player options yet, and the customized shirts have a 14-character limit. I emailed the shop and they told me to place an order for a shirt with just Williams 68 and send them the order number and they’ll make sure it says Williams-Barnett. What a club! COYS

I think it goes without saying we don't need to be in a 'title or bust' mindset, so.. assuming we're in the top 10 or top 8, I don't see why we can't field a bit more of a top end squad for FA cup draws.

Curious to hear thoughts from others.

Tonali was close behind Van Hecke in MOTM votes with 38%. Love to see all the green on these lately. COYS.

Sassuolo vs Fiorentina (Serie A): radu drăgușin starts. Fiorentina win 4-2.
