Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man United

A day of goals and points aplenty ends with the main event as Spurs host Manchester United in the final fixture to be played at White Hart Lane.

A momentous day for the club, it’s unfortunate for Spurs and for owners of their key Fantasy assets, that the result is somewhat academic.

While Mauricio Pochettino’s men will look to provide their supporters with a fitting sign-off, they will need to lift themselves following the Gameweek 36 reverse at West Ham and Chelsea’s title-winning triumph that followed.

Fantasy managers will be hoping for a quick revival.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane head into the tea-time kick-off owned by 33.8% and 20% of FPL managers respectively, while Christian Eriksen is still found in 18.6% of squads. Kyle Walker also remains the top owned defender (30.7%), although he again misses out today with Kieran Trippier preferred at right-back.

For Kane, there should be no need for extra motivation. He will not only seek to score the final goal at White Hart Lane, he is still giving chase to both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot. He his currently level with Arsenal’s Chilean on 21 goals, trailing the Everton striker by three.

Kane has seven goals from his last six starts but has yet to score against visitors Manchester United in six attempts.

Jose Mourinho’s side arrive to present another line-up influenced by their Europa League campaign. The United manager makes predictable changes following Thursday’s hard-fought 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo as Wayne Rooney starts, along with Anthony Martial in attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I worry the intensity they are showing here, they'll either be dead on the feet against Lie or have been told there will be heavy rotation.

    Well, now the Bailly cs is dispatched with (kinda regret not taking a further -4 to remove) hopefully Kane and Eriksen take over...

    Eriksen why you assist the assister? Be the assister!
    Or better still be the scorer.

    My ML rival had Wanyama as his 4.5 mid for months. Bench boosted him this week, of course. Still, he played Walker so it's not all bad.

  12. Rainer

    No point in risking Rose now, get him right for next season!

  13. Sim Simma

    I have a proposal for next season FPL ... 1pt should be added for assisting an assister

    1. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Silva essential

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd like that

    3. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And a 1/2 point for assisting the assister of the assister.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

    4. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What about assisting the assister of the assist?

    5. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And half a point for the person that assisted that.

    6. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Next you'll want one point just for making an appearance...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was laughing at my ML rival because he kept Davies on his wc (Rose back soon and all), while I upgraded him to Vert...

    Other ML rivals have Zaha Benteke and Coutinho

    I needed those 4 players to keep quiet, well....

    Davies assist? Really starting to wonder if my pre wildcard team would've outscored this one. Too scared to look.
