GAME LOG
Shown straight red card
Emerson was sent off in the second half of Saturday's match with Arsenal.
Impact
Emerson was shown a straight red card in the 62nd minute forcing Spurs down to ten men. The wing-back will miss a minimum of one match through suspension with the incident up for review.

Comes off bench in win
Emerson subbed in for the final 35 minutes or so of Saturday's 6-2 victory against Leicester City.
Impact
Emerson had started in all eight of Tottenham's Premier League and Champions League matches this season prior to Saturday, but he was given a rest against Leicester while Ivan Perisic got a run-out on at right wing-back. Emerson remains the first choice in the position, with Matt Doherty not appearing to be an option with just two appearances at the moment.

Records assist in win
Emerson took three shots and assisted a goal in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Southampton. He also made two clearances and a block in the match.
Impact
Emerson and Spurs started the season off on the right foot as he set up a goal for Dejan Kulusevski against Southampton on Saturday -- he also made the incisive pass that led to Mohammed Salisu's own goal, but he won't get any statistical credit for that.

Wins two tackles in win
Emerson made a clearance and an interception in Sunday's 5-0 victory against Norwich City. He also won two of two tackles in the match.
Impact
Emerson was the starting right back/right wing back for most of his first campaign with Spurs, save for a stretch from February to April where Matt Doherty was the preferred option. The 23-year-old finished with one goal, one assist and five clean sheets in 31 Premier League appearances (26 starts) as his side qualified for next season's Champions League.

Scores goal against Newcastle
Emerson scored a goal and created a chance in Sunday's 5-1 victory against Newcastle United. He also made four clearances in the match.
Impact
Emerson got the start on the right wing Sunday as Sergio Reguilon (knee) was out injured, and he scored the first goal of his Spurs career off a cross from Matt Doherty. This was his first Premier League start in more than a month however, and he'll likely return to the bench when Reguilon gets fit again.

ROTOWIRE
Stays in starting XI
Emerson (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Burnley.
Impact
As expected, Emerson is in the XI Wednesday after leaving early in the prior contest with a minor issue. He has some good matches this season and should get plenty of opportunities against Burnley, but he's been wildly inconsistent as a wing-back.
FEBRUARY 23, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Should be fine for Wednesday
Emerson (undisclosed) wasn't mentioned by manager Antonio Conte ahead of Wednesday's trip to Burnley.
Impact
Emerson came off with an issue over the weekend, but Conte didn't mention it, so the thought is that he'll be fine Wednesday. If not, Tottenham may be forced to use Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon on the wings, as Sergio Reguilon is a doubt due to COVID-19.

ROTOWIRE
Comes off with knock
Emerson came off the pitch during the 83rd minute of Saturday's 3-2 win over Manchester City.
Impact
Emerson came off the pitch in discomfort after a few rough tackles. It's uncertain whether it was any major thing or just a plethora of knocks. Matt Doherty is a more than competent replacement if Emerson is forced to miss any sort of time.

On bench against Chelsea
Emerson (undisclosed) is in Tottenham's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Chelsea.
Impact
Emerson has been dealing with an undisclosed injury recently and is only fit enough to start on the bench Sunday. Matt Doherty is filling in for him on the right wing against Chelsea.

Impact
Emerson has started five straight matches for the club in which he generated one assist, 24 crosses (eight accurate) and three shots (one on target). If he can play, the midfielder should be capable of generating solid fantasy value, though if he can't go the full 90 minutes he may not be the best play.

Creates six chances in win
Emerson took a shot and created six chances in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Watford. He also won one of two tackles in the match.
Impact
Emerson was a big threat to Watford with his passing on Saturday, but it took until the 96th minute for Spurs to finally break the deadlock and score. Next up after a few cup matches is a clash against fourth-placed Arsenal on Jan. 16.

Impact
Emerson grabbed his first Premier League assist in crossing a ball for Lucas Moura to acrobatically head into the net. Emerson also kept a clean sheet Sunday, which was made easier because of Wilfried Zaha's first-half red card. He will hope to have a similar peformance Tuesday against 14th-placed Southampton, which have scored 19 goals in 18 matches this season.

ROTOWIRE
Four crosses in draw
Emerson sent in four crosses, creating two chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Impact
Emerson did well on the right side of midfield getting forward well and controlling Sadio Mane. The defender is a solid defensive option but has limited fantasy upside due to his lack of attacking acumen. He will hope to get on the scoresheet against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Starting against Liverpool
Emerson (illness) is in Spurs' starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Liverpool.
Impact
Emerson missed his side's previous game against Norwich with an illness, but he has recovered and is back in the XI at right wing back on Sunday.

Out with illness
Emerson missed Sunday's clash with Norwich due to illness, according to Football.london.
Impact
Emerson is dealing with an undisclosed illness, though there are no reports of it being COVID-related yet. Until he is able to return it appears that Japhet Tanganga is likely to fill in for him, as he did Sunday

Emerson is returning late from international duty and is a late test for Sunday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "They are flying now. They are joinin...
Impact
Emerson has started four of the last five matches, but there's a chance he isn't asked to go again after starting for Brazil on Thursday. The question is how much Santo trusts Japhet Tanganga right now because if Emerson doesn't start, Tanganga will be the one in line for right-back.

Attempts four crosses
Emerson attempted four crosses during a 2-1 win Sunday versus Aston Villa.
Impact
Emerson has seven crosses across four Premier League appearances. He is competing for starts against Japhet Tanganga and will try to improve his cross tally after the UEFA international break.

Transfers to Spurs
Emerson signed a five-year contract with Tottenham after transferring from Barcelona, the club announced Tuesday.
Impact
Emerson impressed at Betis the last two seasons, scoring four goals, recording 10 assists and keeping 16 clean sheets in 66 La Liga starts before Barcelona brought him back from loan. But he made just three appearances at Barcelona before now coming to the Premier League, where he will expect to compete for playing time at right-back with Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty.

Comes off bench in win
Emerson logged 19 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 4-2 win over Barcelona.
Impact
Emerson replaced Sergino Dest for the final moments of the match and logged a solitary cross. It may take some time for Emerson to work his way into the lineup, so don't count him out just yet after a stellar season with Real Betis.

Returns to Barcelona
Emerson was bought back by Barcelona from his long-term loan at Real Betis on Wednesday.
Impact
Emerson has yet to play for Barcelona, but the club had originally brought him to Spain from Brazil and he promptly became a regular at Betis. With the fourth-most tackles in La Liga over the past season, Emerson adds even more depth at right-back for the Catalan club. Since Sergi Roberto has struggled to stay fit and its unclear how high confidence is in Sergino Dest, Emerson can help bolster the defense with a cheap price tag.
