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.

    No Kane
    Sold Alli for -4

    I need Kun to score a hat trick today

    Played Ericsson instead of Alli, he's usually the better option at home

    KDB - need to wait on news. May have been ill this week and so only good enough for the bench. The fixtures coming up would suggest that Middlesbrough is the time to rest players:

    Today: Sun (PL)
    Weds: Stoke (PL)
    Sat: 'Boro (FA Cup)
    Tues: Monaco (CL)
    Sat: Liv (PL)

    Would he play Aguero, Sane, Sterling 3 times in a week against 'Boro, Monaco and Liverpool (a rival for Top 4)? I still think 'Boro will be the rotation game.

    I suppose many like me sold ali last gameweek. I sold him for KDB.

    I had a choice between selling ali/eriksen. I thought eriksen had more chance of getting something with corners etc

    Give us a nice lasting memory Kun 🙂

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      You'll be keeping him when Ibra gets banned

    2. Hooky

      Happy ending would be nice 😉

    Have no idea why I didn't do Eriksen to Sterling for a hit, feel like such a fool.

    Ibra nets that penalty yesterday, outlook completely different! Fine margins!

    1. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ya but of late it seems we're on the wrong side of the margin, constant hit after hit

  10. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I should be excited by the Aguero TC and having Sterling but my rivals I'm chasing, have done the same and me transferring Alli and Lukaku out and keeping Eriksen and Ibra is just season defining. This game can be so frustrating 🙁 ......pity party here 😉

  11. THFC4LIFE

    Kun 4 goals sterling 4 assist would be lovely

    We went mad when we came to know that Aguero is starting

    Imagine what our reaction will be when Aguero scores 😉

        • 8 Years

      I'll be impressed if he reaches 67 mins to be honest

  15. Game of Throw_ins
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kane + Alli today = 25 (incl bps)
    Sold Kane/Alli for Kun/Sterling (-8) Opportunity cost = 33 pts.
    Kun/Sterling can better that in 2 matches.. Fingers crossed.

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

      Did you TC?

      1. Game of Throw_ins
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

  16. 8ball

    Alli owners! Where were you guys when I asked if I should drop Eriksen or Alli?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      They were all dropping him too!

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Buying Sterling...

      • InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I kept him, but purely because I was so angry at Phillips I raged transferred him out.
        Moral of the story: Phillips sucks and getting him out will lead to good things

      • HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I was here

        1. 8ball
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You didn't say much did you? 🙂 Asked the same question 3 times as I was not convinced. Got a 100% keep Eriksen vote.

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        kept Alli 😎

      Aaaarghhh
      Ali out for Sane for-4 to fund Kun.
      Kept Erikson.
      Well that didn't work out.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Many did that though
        And Kun alone could balance it all

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sold Alli, Firmino and Jesus for Sterling, King (9) and Aguero, no pressure lads

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sold Eriksen for Sane (-4). First part complete with Eriksen 2 pointer. Now for Sane to deliver.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah -4. I included that. I'm on 16-4.

          Have Alonso, Sane, Snodgrass, Sterling and Aguero TC to go though.

    6. Zos93
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      20 points with Sterling (TC), Azpilicueta, Pedro and Costa to go.

      1. Zos93
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        10 points not 20!

      2. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sterling TC!!!!

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

      Do we think Lukaku may drop this week or will anytime be OK to draft him in?

    8. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lol, a guy in my mini league sold Kane and Alli this week! 😆

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So did massive numbers on here

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

          I doubt that. Just you hear from the ones that did

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

        It all depends what Aguero and Sterling does

      3. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The guy in my ML sold Zaha Lukaku and Alli for a -8

        He has Firmino Mane and Kane though

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

        Too bad I am not in your mini league, as then there would have been two of us...

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

        a lot of people did.

    9. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      not had dele ali all season ,kick in the love rocks every week...

    10. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years

      Are many people planning on playing their wildcard GW29? Think it would do my team wonders and allow me to get all my planned transfers done straight away rather than gradually shifting out my deadwood. Once these FA cup ties are played next week, will it be long before re-arranged fixtures are announced does anyone know?

      1. Kevin Malone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Seriously considering this too. Thinking being able to get the likes of Kane, Sanchez, Erik/Alli in immediately will outweigh the DGW in 37, especially considering alot of teams maybe be rotating by then.

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

      Graeme Souness is the only pundit on Sky that talks any sense

    12. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane still yellow flagged.
      Get a grip, FPL.

    13. TooDifficuIt
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      sold alli to kun
      and benched him 🙁

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

        Sold a mid for a forward. Interesting.

      2. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        lol wut

      3. Weasel Boy

        Huh?

    14. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A bit of good news...

      The FPL App is still showing Spurs v Palace so some of my friends still think there is a game

      I hope Kane gets transferred in a lot

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I don't want him going up in price tho

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't want Kane to rise too much.......

    15. Alexieishere
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Holding myself pressing the confirm button for Kun -> Llorente at least after city plays, doesn't want Kun to feel betrayed by me

    16. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Going well so far apart from Ibra. And Foster. And McAuley. And Funes Mori. And selling Alli. And -8.
