Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

Saturday’s action concludes at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Swansea City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

All eyes are on Harry Kane after he scored twice in each of his last two appearances for the north London outfit over the last few days.

Over 20% of FPL managers have handed him the armband this week – second, once again, to Romelu Lukaku’s 30% backers.

Kane was handed the armband by 17 of the top 100 heading into Gameweek 5, while team-mates Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli were selected by nine and seven of that elite group respectively.

All three start along with Heung-Min Son but Mauricio Pochettino sorely disappoints the 345,000+ who drafted in Ben Davies by benching the Welshman against his former side.

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

    Naughton on my bench and Kane captain. A Kane goal in the 2nd half most welcome!

      3 of them please.

    I must be the only one not wanting Davies to come on! I have otamendi on my bench!

      Prepare for disappointment

    2. Niemi

      Why do you have Otamendi on your bench!?

      1. Shultan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I play 3-4-3 & players davies/jones/Dawson

          Playing Dawson over otamendi is shocking behaviour

    can't take it any more. How does one delete his/her FPL team?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years

      hits galore for me now

      Pull yourself together.

      You've just gotta take a hit or two ... 😉

      So many ppl are having a crap gameweek. Don't worry.

  4. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If we don't manage to score at least I got Naughton on the bench if Davies stays there

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Davies will have to come on surely.

      1. Drum8888
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He's created so many chances so far that it would be mad not to bench him long term.

  5. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Brought in Kane on my We and captained him.red card inc 🙁

    1. Chucky

      WC*

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      a red card would be a relief. Wouldn't have to watch this crap anymore

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah enough of this crap..

  6. Kane Train
    • 9 Years

    Lukaku or Kane > Aguero?

    1. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Do it, selflessly

  7. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Completely forgot Josh King even existed until I started looking through the mid-priced forwards. How hasn't he scored yet?! Surely he'll get going soon enough right?

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Unbelievable how he has stopped scoring suddenly after being reclassified on fpl

      Like it's a curse

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Last night could be a turning point for Bournemouth so when fixtures improve he might be interesting.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Nope. Right off form.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Average player who went on a hot streak

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        So true, his conversion rate was not sustainable.

    5. beetlejuice
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not when Defoe playing upfront.

  8. Harper (No more Penandes)

    Got Kane on my bench. Blank please

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You can't be serious?

    2. HoserHut
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Why though?

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No chance that he is on your bench

    Looks so easy to park the bus against spurs in Wembley. Slow attack in a big pitch.

  10. Eton Rifles
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Spuds had a very tiring game on Wednesday tbf

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      yep. One eye on the big game midweek as well against Barnsley

  11. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Salah really is a saviour

  12. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years

    Sitting on a mighty 9 points from 6 players. Pray for me.

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Omg. I'm praying for you buddy.

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It's ok. Tom Carroll will give you 120 points.

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 8 months ago

        amen

    4. pundit of punts

      Lot of whiskey with me here to get me through the night if Kane (c) fails.

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm sure Aguero lessens the blow

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Does he own Aguero?

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            yes, yes he does.

            1. fedolefan
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I'm not sure about that. Wasn't very clear in his posts.

              1. Sims
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

        2. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          In fact it worsens.

          Wish I captained him

    5. Jollyswagman
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bring Dembele, Davies, Aurier on and they'll sort it out for sure. In Kane we trust!

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes!

    6. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Morata + yoshida --> Aguero (C) + holgate -4?

      Was today a sign of what is to come in the Jesus/Aguero debate? Or is Jesus still the better option given his cheaper pricetag?

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        At least Walt until Morata plays

    7. HoserHut
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What to do with this lot?

      Foster - Elliott
      Kola - Davies - Jones - Suttner - Long
      Alli - Salah - Ramsey - Richarlison - TC
      Kane - Kaku - JRod

      Cheers

      1. Emmicson
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ramsey to Gross

      2. Frank Koscielny
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Almost identical to my team. I have have Tadic and Ritchie in stead of Richarlison with 1 FT. Need to sort out Tadic and especially Jrod with his upcoming fixtures.

        1. HoserHut
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I think ditching JRod is my main concern but for whom? Calvert Lewin maybe? Got 0.2 ITB

          1. Frank Koscielny
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            That's the headscratcher. In my opinion you should either downgrade to fodder like Hemed and look to invest in a Richarlison/Ramsey upgrade to go 3-5-2 or go the other way and find funds to play 3-4-3. For instance, Jrod + Ramsey + Lukaku > Vardy + Morata/Aguero/Jesus + RLC

            1. HoserHut
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Interesting points... I'll give it a tinker, thanks for your input

    8. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I feel so so gutted to go with 3 spurs (no Kane )

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        If you haven't got Kane but you've got 3 Spuds players who have you got?!

        1. MarvelouSuccess
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          he probably has davies, alli and eriksen

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Exactly this

        2. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I presume Bavies, Alli and Eriksen?

        3. *Reformed-Character*
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The fantasy gods got one over me this game week.
      I knew there would be 6 Goals in the city game I predicted Wat vs City as 1-5 on superbru, took a -8 hit to get Jesus (c) and Davies, but it backfired.

    10. PocketZola

      Would you WC this?
      Elliot speroni
      Yoshida jones davies mbemba suttner
      Alli mkhi salah RLC carroll
      Kane lukaku chicharito

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        No chance. Mbemba and Yoshi played.

        Impossible to make the most of a WC atm.

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          *optimise the WC

        NO...team looks fine...just offload Chica and u r good to go..

      Top 3 mid-low FW options?

    14. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen currently on for 3 BAPS. Lord knows how. Suppose someone has to win them. What a dreadful half that really was.

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I agree that was awful but that's why I went Eriksen over alli.

        Not after clean sheets.

    15. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years

      Only 35 pts at HT with Alonso to go

    16. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Months I've been Googling "Danny Rose knee" as I watch Bavies rake in the points.

      Finally bought him after his rise on WC on Thursday.

      3. HoserHut

        Same... but for -4 hit, not on wc

    17. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Is aguero back as the essential player in FL ? Thanks a lot 🙂

    18. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years

      Mark might delete his team if Kane blanks and Laca scores

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Only if he had Davies too.

    19. Melvin Udall
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Couple of points so far

      * I hope people dont start calling for Klopps head now. I feel a wave building.
      * Rafas playing a blinder with that Toon team. Mereno and Lascelles showing great promise.
      *Agueros straight back i my team.
      *Outside the top 6 or 7 teams the standard in the PL is low. This is proven by the great results the new teams are getting.
      *i think Palace might regret Woy.

    20. John Stones
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      a) Bobby & Alli to Jesus and Silva
      b) Bobby and Bavies to Mbemba and Aguero
      (both for a hit(
      c) Save
