Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

After the previous nine matches served up 26 goals, tonight’s White Hart Lane encounter between Tottenham and Sunderland brings the curtain down on Gameweek 33. The Black Cats have now slipped to the bottom of the table and are seven points off safety, but with eight games still to play, including a pair of upcoming double Gameweeks, Gus Poyet will be relying on Vito Mannone’s heroics between the posts and Adam Johnson’s goal threat more than ever, with the winger back in the first XI this evening:

For the hosts, the likes of Christian Eriksen and fit-again Emmanuel Adebayor are handed the chance to make an impression on Fantasy managers ahead of a very favourable run-in which sees Tim Sherwood’s side square up to three more of the bottom eight (West Brom, Fulham and Villa) in the final five rounds of fixtures.

As always, our Twitter feed will bring you all the news from tonight’s teamsheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to accompany you right through to the final whistle in north London.

      Explain how these transfers work. I was one of the Eriksen buyers but don't understand how some players give instant returns.

              They were decent picks, they weren't punts

              Now taking the captaincy off Dzagoev with 14 points, that was a gamble. It paid off as well, i had an insane week that week. GWR 8 OR 14
