Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

White Hart Lane is our first port of call in a Sunday that is set to shape many of our Gameweeks.

As expected, Harry Kane leads the line for the hosts again after shrugging off a minor knock in time to entertain Everton. The Tottenham frontman has been handed the armband by 5.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers on the back of seven goals in his last three home outings.

Five double-figure hauls in seven in front of his own supporters suggests that Christian Eriksen will have a major say in the outcomes of today’s 1.30pm encounter, whilst Dele Alli was back in the goals after Mauricio Pochettino returned to a 3-4-2-1 set-up against Stoke last time out.

Perhaps surprisingly, Romelu Lukaku is also backed by 5.6% for Sunday’s early fixture despite failing to score in each of his last four road trips.

Up against a defence with a single goal against in their previous seven at the Lane, his prospects of points perhaps took a turn for the worse after both Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen recovered from knocks to take their place in an unchanged Spurs XI.

    Of course I kept the wrong Spurs mid.

    Guarantee if I sold Eriksen he would have went off instead of Alli

    Alli did this to us last year in a dgw! Need Kun to go ballistic.

    I always go on the philosophy of...Always Captain one of the players you bring in for a hit

    Great so Sane has to get 12 points just to cover removing Alli now

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

    Need 14 from Sterling over two games to cover the Ali score of 10

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

    2. AdamB
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      12 probably with the bonus.

    3. thisisdiz
      • 9 Years

  9. GoonerByron

    Currently on 12(-4) from 7 players.. Need Aguero TC and Sane to really turn up 😐

    That was painful. At least I didn't sell anyone that did damage, that would have been unbearable.

  11. AdamB

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Was hesitating between doing Alli, Kane --> Sterling, Aguero for -8. Chose not to.

    Now Sterling and Aguero would have to score 16 and 17 to make me regret my decision. Fingers crossed for KDB to start as false 9 against Stoke.

      Alli and Kane to Agüero and Sterling (-4 as well). The round that keeps on giving. I have never experienced such a round before. I was hoping that today would be brighter than yesterday, but no, it starts as badly as it could. Unreal.

      Now it is time to watch Agüero (TC) and Sterling fail massively.

      1. Hobolicious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        And yes, I have Zlatan. Just think what could have been if I moved him out instead of Kane...

      Wow. Thrilled with Kane double and Lukaku goal. Not so thrilled with Alli's haul.

      Over to Kun.

    5. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No Kane no Alli no Lukaku. Bye bye

        Liverpool scoreless defeat againt Burnley upcoming, as it always happens after beating a top 6 side.

        I'm selling Alli for King and upgrading my striking department though.

    11. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So we need 16 points from Sterling to break even (if for a hit)? Lovely

      I just know tc Aguero is going to disappoint.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Then why did you TC him?

    15. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Benching KDB is also a big worry, could play false 9 on wed instead of Kun! This is going to be a scary GW!

      COME ON SERGIO!!

    16. Syd.
