Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The festive fixture list finally draws to its conclusion this evening as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to White Hart Lane at 8pm.

Four of the top seven captains for Gameweek 20 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku – have already found the net earlier in the week.

The remaining three, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane, have it all to do, then, with Costa the most popular of that trio – 11.6% have backed the Spain international, compared to Hazard (4.7%) and Kane’s 2.8%.

Costa, certainly, has been the more impressive of the Chelsea pair on his travels – the Spain international has scored eight away goals compared to Hazard’s two.

Yet the league leaders won’t have it easy – Spurs boast the tightest home defence in the top-flight, with just five goals against in front of their own fans.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been similarly resilient, conceding just one goal in six away matches since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 set-up.

Nonetheless, many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on Kane along with Deli Alli and Christian Eriksen, with the fixtures set to smile kindly on Spurs from Gameweek 21 onwards.

    Although Hazard has Leicester and Hull next, I might have to sell him for Alli, he can't stop scoring!

    Alli is on Fire

    Such a love affair with hazard on this forum. His returns have been appalling.
    Probably the most overrated player in the league

      Payet.

    2. Kiwivillan

      Hazard is very overrated but he does return points in FPL often from the penalty spot.

    Thank God I've WC'd Alli in.

    oh my.. I'm so pissed. Rival has Eriksen, Alli and Walker + Costa. I have Kane, Alonso and Hazard.

      Ouch

      Tell me about it! Gutted I took Lallana instead of Alli....thems the breaks but can't seem to catch one this season 🙁

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      And you can add that I've benched Lloris for Heaton, and Alonso got subbed right now.

    Not sure whether to be happy with eriksen or not??

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Isn't he getting you oints ?

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah but was gonna transfer to alli aha

    2. YoungPretender
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2 assists, why wouldn't you?

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's very good for me, I transferred him out for Eriksen and it's looking like an increasingly good decision

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *IN* lol, *IN*

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          In for Alli

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Alli in for Eriksen, having a mare here

    4. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely happy. May need Alli too, but both are good options.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed, brave enough to do the double up?

  8. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs bossing it.

  9. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard to Alli has to be done on terms of price change also. Kane to Costa to mix it up too.

  10. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    The two goals are absolutely identical: Walker's passes, Eriksen's crosses and Alli's headers.

    Makes me think that Alli + Eriksen might be a better combo than Alli/Eriksen + Kane, though.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have Eriksen Kane and planning on Hazard>Alli. They'll spread it around

  11. twoplustwo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hoping my season turns from now (1.3m rank...) with Alli today and Gru yesterday

  12. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    is that 6 goals in 3?! Gutted I havent owned him. Imagine the rank boost that kind of return for a differential would do

    1. Clump
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sold an injured Wally for him 🙂

    2. 824545201
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      7 in 4.
      Should have had an assist as well but Kane the donkey missed the penalty.

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen and Zaha both left me with parting gifts, welcome Alli, Phillips and Stanislas, hopefully Stanislas and Phillips will give me a bit of pace down the flanks and Alli will give us an extra dimension

    1. Blunderland
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You sold Eriksen. Why?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Because Alli scores, worth 2 extra points, while Eriksen is the creator, I couldn't go for the double up as I am anticipating the triumphant return of Coutinho to fpl, plus Eriksen tends to drop deep to make them tick when they get routs (good for the team but bad in an fpl sense) sacrificing his own output (fpl wise) it was a sacrifice rather than an easy transfer.

  14. Slippy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jeez. There must be a lot of us who can only get Alli for a hit. Who of you will do it?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably because I want Stanislas too

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Same did Eriksen and Morrison to Alli and Stanislas for a hit so I didn't have to play Phillips/Brunt away at Spurs.

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'll probably for Haz > Alli -4 if the game ends like this

      1. Champione
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        do**

  15. Woy of the Wovers
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rumours on FFS that Eden Hazard is having (relations with) a horse.

  16. Zebras
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Loving these Eriksen assists!! Get in boys!!!

  17. Legomane
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Felt last week that Spurs front 3 were basically doing what Firmino, Coutinho and Mane did for Liverpool prior to Couts injury.

    Had Eriksen and Kane since GW14 but did Kane > Aguero last week, and Mane > Alli on Monday after the deadline... (hope Dele's done for the evening! - at least Mane was in the goals this week too!!)

    Feels like the 3 of them could share points, and £2.5m is too much for pens...might be wrong of course!

    1. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Damn, there they go again...save something for next week boys...

  18. punkINdrublic

  19. Alnair
    • 7 Years

    So glad I chose Alli all those weeks ago over Eriksen, c'mon hat-trick!!!!

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Such great FPL players! It was killing me that I didn't get Alli in for HUL, BUR, wat fixtures, but at least I have him now 🙂

  23. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Cmon Chelsea. Need an Alonso > Costa special!

  24. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso was spared the YC thanks to Alli

  25. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen (C) was abit of a gamble, but just had that feeling he would do well. Question now is if to get Alli in as well :/

    1. Zebras
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wow, very impressive. You doubling up or swapping Eriksen for Alli?

      1. Blunderland
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why swap. So sideways. I can understand both of them though

        1. Zebras
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Was verifying as Ive seen many on here considering the sideways move.

  26. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alli with 2 goals in 3 straight games.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He'd be rubbish in the gay games

      1. Business Cat

  27. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Balls two erkisen assists and he is sitting on my bench was convinced this would be low scoring and he looked terrible the last game

    1. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No sympathy

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He had 61pts in the previous 6 games. Don't tell me you fielded donkey Hazard lol

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I did! and alonso....

        I was thinking chelsea clean sheet maybe hazard pen.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You just don't bench players of that quality whatever the game

    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alli on my bench. Sums up this season. Played hazard, Sanchez, lallana, Phillips and worst of all Origi...

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You benched the most inform player? Sorry but you deserved that then.

      1. Unbelievable Jeff!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Fair play but against the best defence in the league and played Liverpool assets vs sunderland. Didn't work out too well..

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No sympathy. My bench is Forshaw Amat Holebas. How can you have a player that good on your bench

      1. Unbelievable Jeff!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        TV 106.8. Alli just bench fodder
