Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Fulham

Gameweek 35 is upon us, with an early kick-off at White Hart Lane easing us into five further Saturday Premier League clashes.

Fulham pay visit to north London desperate for points but having won back-to-back matches for only the second time this season. Tim Sherwood’s men will provide a stern test, fresh from clawing back a three-goal deficit at the Hawthorns, as they continue an unlikely quest for Champions League qualification.

With two shaky defences on show, goals look guaranteed and our Fantasy interest is firmly focused on Tottenham’s attacking assets. Christian Eriksen is the undoubted star-turn, having registered four goals and three assists in his last four league starts: only Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard has earned more investment than the Dane from Fantasy Premier League managers this week.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up your real-time reaction to this and today’s other matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    No Collins, Ward plays but he is 3rd sub as he was facing a fitness test...

    Coleman first sub... Hope he does something tomorrow...

          Eriksen is just crossing it. You can't blame a manager for that. Other than set pieces he isn't exactly doing much.

    After reading the Pre-match Preamble, I decided to try out the loan system in UFPL...

    got Eriksen, Kane as well as Giroud and Skrtel

    and the only thing I can say is

    Thanks Mark!!!

        Actually Skrtel did score most out of all defenders this year, so not so bad.

        As for Sterling, I don't think he played better than Hazard , would have him more on an Eriksen kind of level.
