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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    No problem with selling Alli, the alternative was Mane who also plays next week. πŸ™‚

    Thank God I didn't listen to those telling me to ship alli for Sterling. Sterling still play so I could end up eating a humble pie though

    feels weird still having xi left to play (counting Captain as 2)

    My midfield prior to the City game:

    Alli Firmino Mane 5.8m 4.6m.

    Had to remove one of these to get a City mid.

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

      4.6m

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hah, yeah. So make up 3 million for a City mid and make up 3 million for Kun. Reckon I could have got that from my defense?

    With my season this is set to end in tears and Kun with a limp πŸ™

    Anyone else sell Alli for -4 and keep Eriksen?

    1. Whazza

    4. Yome

    5. Toure The Route

      Yes you're definitely not alone

  11. purple.emu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I went -8
    Mane would have got me 13
    Alli would have got me 12
    Kane would have got me 13

    46 points down with the 3 city clowns to come!

    I hate this game!!!

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

      Mane was a weird one as he plays 28.. and Kane at home after a 3+1 performance?

      Tough luck anyway but there were always risks

    2. Stokelona
      • 7 Years

      Oh god, I know how you feel!

      selling mane was a bit short sighted given gw28 blanks

    Alli to Sterling for a minus four and kept Ericsson. Triple captained Sterling though so there's still hope.

  14. F4L

    Does KDB being benched make people worry about the false 9 being deployed on Wednesday?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No, Yaya be rested.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years

        that's what im hoping, Kun pens as well then

    3. Mattymo23

      Felt awful with 10 minutes to go having got rid of Kane. Thankfully still own Barkley, Alli, and Lukaku so got away with it

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku 》Aguero was a given.

      But annoyingly didn't have to do Alli 》Sterling to fund it and thought hard because it would cost me 8 points in hits. Sterling won't even come close to paying us back. Hey ho.

      Sane Aguero Sterling for -8, with Alli and Lukaku out. TC Aguero. Season defining stuff.

        Its Ibra's fault for being undroppable before Bournemouth at home πŸ™

    7. boc610

      Unless sterling and kun run seriously wild then that's a waste of a tc chip if you just got rid of Kane/Luk +Ali

      Happy Kane and Kaku owner. Not so much owning Coleman though.

      Sadly sold Alli for Sterling for the DGW.

      Alli better option now than Eriksen?

        Nope

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Not according to the member tool.. he is a much bigger goal threat though which might outweight that

        Now? Been since December

      After GW 28...

      A. Eriksen and Llorente
      B. King and Costa

      Would you prefer A or B of these?
      Thanks.

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years

        B

    14. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      With the hit I will use to get him back in, selling Lukaku for Aguero over Ibra will cost me 12points + £0.3m value lost. Such a cruel game.

    15. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So it was supposed to be Eriksen and Ibra, not Alli and Lukaku. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Over to you Kun, crush the nonbelievers.

    16. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Need 22 points from Aguero/Sterling to break even after that.

      When will we be certain whether or not ibra got a ban?
