Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Double Gameweek 37 finally comes to an end this evening as Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium at 7.45pm.

After grabbing his side’s second in Sunday’s win over Man United, Harry Kane is now just two goals behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.

Having returned eight goals and three assists in his last seven starts, the Spurs striker has been handed the armband by 5.5% of FPL managers – more than any player in tonight’s encounter.

For Christian Eriksen’s 18% FPL owners, the Double Gameweek serves up one final twist – the Dane drops to the bench tonight after earning eight points against United last weekend.

Elsewhere for the visitors, Dele Alli starts as he looks to arrest a run of one goal in his previous four – the midfielder was transferred out by 56,000 FPL managers ahead of Tottenham’s pair of fixtures.

The hosts’ Jamie Vardy is the eighth most popular armband pick (2.4%) of Double Gameweek 37 on the back of seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Meanwhile, Foxes wide man Marc Albrighton has flourished as a budget asset across that period, producing two goals and five assists in 10 outings under the new man in charge.

    The well documented Spencer blunder of him losing 40 points and captaining Anichebe for DGW36 is erm...well documented.

    Anyway we are in an ML battle for top spot and going into DGW36 I was a mere 7 points behind before his blunders. Fast forward to the last game of DGW37, the gap now is 79 points in my favour.

    Tonight I have Eriksen (Grr), Vert and Alli and he has Bavies, Alli and Kane (C) and then of course he has WC in the last game and will go diff central.

    Surely he can't catch me up?

      A Kane hat trick and you might need to worry about Rooney Sturridge Terry Vardy Giroud mahrez etc

      A Harry Kane haul would make your battle a lot more fun
      Looks like you have it in the bag. 70 odd points is a lot to catch on a single gw.
      Wildcard or not.
      You where lucky he/she messed up their wildcard and chips strategy by the looks of it.

    Tottenhams kit reminds me of Robert Maxwells Oxford United in the 80s.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ahhh, Robert Maxwell.
      Makes me nostalgic for the days where he stood out as a massive scumbag.
      These days he'd barely even register on the scumometer of sh@tb@ggery.

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Eriksen tonight is a prime example that double gameweeks late in the season are overrated.

    1. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez 27 Jesus 19

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I had Sanchez as captain but I also sold Coutinho for a double gameweek player. Form over fixtures should matter more.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Possibly, although i've never got this score in a sgw

    3. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty much everyone is getting 150 points this week.

      What are you talking about?

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say frustrating, yet with so many teams having dgw's, it's hard to overrate getting 150 or so points while having a guy like Stephens and Eriksen miss a start. It's just not 100% that 100% get two games.

    5. zotter
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Over rated for bench boost yes

    6. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Um I'm on for 170 potentially so i beg to differ, as would just about most other people still playing properly.

    7. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      They are like every other gw, it's about picking the right players

    8. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Top 10k average of 122 would suggest otherwise.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        This.

    9. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      It's a complete lottery. Those who rate them so highly haven't been ruined by the rotation fest as much as others.

      All i meant was two attacking teams one without their main creative threat and one with a makeshift defence.

      Two of best strikers in league.

      Nil nil

    Jesus 11.0
    Mane 10.0
    Hazard 11.0

    2. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years

      10.5 or 11 for Lukaku, also King at about 7.5 or 8 I reckon

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      No - if there are that many good players then they can't all be so high. It would be impossible to build teams.
