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.

      Hold Firmino imo. Decent player in a decent side will come good.

      Hazard still stands above them on the season for total and ppg, Alli is in form, no secret!

      1. scootadee
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        currently.
        eriksen could steal it with a goal here though 😉

      Owning Kane is frustrating ...

        • 11 Years

        But just one goal away from everybody bringing him in, and forgetting that they wanted Defoe or Giroud 2 hours ago 😉

      I just want any chelsea player to score now

    • Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea have been awful second half

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Two things:

        i) Spurs scored from two early crosses into the box, because they have not been able to thread anything through
        ii) Chelsea have not put any early balls into the box and have had no one in the box early enough even if they did.

    • Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Come on Eriksen my son. Any goal involvement will give him the full baps

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes please

    • fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How many baps for Kane?

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        -742

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Zero, unless there's a bacon bap waiting for him in the dressing room

    • Yome
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Haz will punish the sellers against porous Leicester

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        8 games 38pts. Had. Enough.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Actually not that bad a return - 4.75pts a game. Alli and Eriksen have just been ludicrous with their returns - mean reversion almost after how poor they were at the start of the season.

          1. Ten Season Wonder
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            4.75 points p/g is not good enough for a player who costs as much as Hazard does

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Who cares what he does against Leicester, it's the long term that matters! Hazard's been awful for his price since the Everton game...

    • Shultan
      • 8 Years

      Come on eriksen get more BAPS

    • The Wise Owl

            • 8 Years

            fair

    • dillydally1982
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ali & Wilson OR Stanislas & Giroud (I already have Sanchez, but not Kane).

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Alli and wilson

    • Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard to Sanchez is a pretty easy transfer for me

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Could punish you with next games being lei and HUL although Sanchez essential with those fixtures.

      2. greghammer95
        • 14 Years

        No reason not to.

    • seanie3
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      very good performance by spurs, well up for it, Chelsea toothless and bottled it

    • JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Alli ---> Elneny???

      Knee Jerk

      1. Tansey

        Nah looks good

    • Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      As a proud Eriksen owner,I think its appalling to consider removing him for Alli.Alli may be more explosive but what Eriksen is producing is more sustainable.Double up if you may though but don't drop the lad.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Pretty much this

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly

      3. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This. Eriksen has had his more explosive days too. Both great options, although I'm worried alli could push on and be one of the players of the season.

        I highly recommend the double, best thing I've done all season
