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

    What an awful bloody GW. 22 with Alonso, Jones, Mkhi and Lukaku to come.

    1. diesel001

      Same. 22 with Alonso, Kola, Bailly, Mkhi and Lukaku to come.

      • 7 Years

      26(-8) with Valencia, Ramsey and Lukaku

      1. The Royal Robin

        At least my pain is felt elsewhere!

      Maybe if you didn't post a RMT everyday you'd have applied some of your own ideas and got a better score

      1. diesel001

        LOL

      22 with Alonso Mkhi and Morata to go..

  2. seanie3

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Kane and lukaku to aguero and morata and extra 2.5m could be great. Think there won't be much in the difference points wise between these two partnerships. The extra money well spent though on mid could make it gold

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

      yes

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Worth noting also that Eriksen and Mkhitaryan could cover them too

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

        Same applies to Morata and Aguero though with Hazard and Jesus.

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

          Lukaku and Kane are on pens too while I don't think Aguero is? Morata definitely isn't.

          1. seanie3
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Didn't lukaku miss the last one,
            Might not be on them with many good options in the Utd team to take them, despite today kun should be on pens,
            Sterling will be told that by pep

        2. seanie3
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Jesus is a striker so doesn't apply if having him with Kun and morata

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

            Yeah but it's another player that could take his points is what I meant.

      2. seanie3
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Great points

    3. Neeskens Under Matip
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Everyone laughed at my WC without Kane and Lukaku yesterday!

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

        Lukaku hasn't even played yet man and we're already ditching him lol.

        1. seanie3
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Lukaku needs to start doing more than 6 points each week for his price tag

    4. Jammy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Just go with Kane Aguero Lukaku and get Hazard watch the points roll in! There will be blanks but then there will be goals, always goals

  3. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    34 points with triple Man United and double Arsenal to go tomorrow. Don't know if I should be happy or annoyed.

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

      Be happy with that ma man.

      25 - 4 with 3 to play. One is Willian 🙁

  4. red forever
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Unfortunately Kane has already used up his quota of goals for September

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn;t he have only 3 prem goals in september

  5. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Forster, Elliot
    Alonso, Jones, Bavies, Suttner, Long
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Chalobah, t.Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Quaner

    To;

    Foster, Elliot
    Kolasinac, Jones, Bavies, Wimmer, Tuanzebe
    Sanchez, Mkhi, Siggy, Atsu, RLC
    Aguero, Kane, Abraham

    Yes or No???

    1. Weasel51
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone?

    2. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not at all. I've just overthought myself out of about 35 points . If you feel it then go with it.

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

    Guys would you do Chich + Kane >>> Vardy/Firmino + Aguero?

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      RIP Knee.

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

        Well Chich needs to go, as does another player as I have no funds to upgrade him.

  7. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Poch needs to learn to never start Shitssoko again. Obviously he wasn't the only problem, but attacks die with him :/

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

      Also not sure why Poch didn't use his 3rd sub for Bavies. Attacks were dying on that left side and an injection of quality was needed

  8. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Stephens price drop imminent so already made my transfer, just got to hope for no injuries. It couldnt get worse than losing mane and pogba surely

  9. drughi
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of doing Firmino>Jesus for my FT this week. Crystal palace at home is to good of a fixture to go without any city attack

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It's the kind of move that has been burning people though, Firmino has leicester and after Sturridge and Liverpool's performance today i'd expect him to be back up front next week

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Liverpool without mane though. Only worry is jesus minutes

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Busy forum tonight but please help me 🙂
      Aguero for

      Kane or Lukaku ?
      Thanks 🙂

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Kane fairly obviously

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Is that not a bit too knee jerking ?

      2. Jammy
        • 10 Years

        Kane has West Ham next week lol

      Thank god Kane is away next week, might actually get some points then

        I'm captaining.

        Captain again for me, I'm stubborn

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years

      Didn't know Eden Hazard was in Doctor Foster.

    5. MartialMatas

      • 9 Years

      26 after autosubs and bonus with Jones Mkhi ramsey Lukaku to go.
      Very slightly above average here?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Below average (just)

    6. Albrightondknight

      Screw this. I might just pack this stupid game in a do some more productive for 2 hours a day.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!

        you know thats not happening 🙂

          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I know but man it's frustrating. Two nights of too much drink and a massive 2 day hangover not helping my mood 🙂

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years

        Definitely going to go more casual again - never harmed me in the past

        Like not putting stupid typos in every post. Sorry.

        So much this

      5. Spike ⚽️

        Well worth my upvote

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Wow an up vote. I should rant more often 🙂

    7. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen and Firmino > Ramsey and Kun? To be honest I don't like it I just want a Man City forward

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

        If you don't like it, don't do it. They won't score 4-6 every game and I don't want to have anything to do with Pep's rotation.

      2. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Keep Eriksen. Don't kneejetk for Ramsey!

    8. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      My -4 hit has not paid off in the end with kane blanking, could have just made on transfer and rolled on 2FT and I would still be 2 points better off

    9. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane + Chicharito --> Vardy + Aguero for FT?

      1. Weasel51
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Keep Kane

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Dont come crying when kane scores 2 goals against west ham

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

          Aguero has Crystal Palace that is worse than West Ham

      3. Jammy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Again get both

    10. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Naughton off the bench for Davies is the only good thing to come out of this horrible day of FPL.. 😐

    11. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Elliot | Foster
      Alonso | Davies | Bertrand | Yoshida | Hune
      Eriksen | Mkhi | Phillips | Atsu | Carroll
      Kane | Lukaku | Shitarito

      1 FT, 0.4 ITB

      I was thinking Bertrand, Phillips -> Kolasinac, Gross for a hit. Better ideas?

      5-2-3 FTW! Backed it before the season, but didn't have the balls to go with it 🙁

    14. FPL Virgin

      It's gonna be a heck of a knee jerk article tonight, chaps!!!!

    15. Captain Remorse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      So FPL reached a record 5,000,000 players a moment ago! So ranking in the top 1M is GOOD I can tell myself.

    16. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mbemba's 2 points off the bench, instead of Bavies. 😎

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

        Suttner's 1 point for me

      2. makaveli123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Mariappa -1 😎

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

      Pick one to replace Chich:

      A) Vardy
      B) Firmino

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

        A

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Welbeck. 😀

      3. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        A

      4. MTPockets
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Probably Firmino. Mane back after next game, and next game's a h2h anyway.

        • Indrandro
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Vardy

      5. Toothless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        In a mid-gameweek-rage, drafting a new team because I've fallen out with mine.

        Anyone think the following is/isn't worth wildcarding:

        DDG Elliot
        Alonso Kola Yoshida Bavies Lowe
        Alli Miki Redmond Carroll RLC
        Kane Jesus Mounie

        Current draft (haven't WC'd yet...)

        Elliot Fabianski
        Davies Cedric Naughton Ward Jones
        Miki KDB Salah Ritchie Gross
        Kane Morata Joselu

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I would move away from the keyboard and wait till the gameweek's over.See how UTD and CHS/ARS assets go tomorrow.

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

        Welbeck or Rooney?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Former.

      7. JJJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I feel a huge amount of Wild cards will be played this week.
        Just when you get your team sorted out....

      8. hjalmarekdal
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Need to get rid of Chicarito. Who's the best option?

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

          Vardy/Firmino. I don't have funds to do it so it'll have to wait.

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

            Are you not tempted to take a hit Figu? He's got to go.

      9. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thoughts on this:

        Elliot
        Cedric Trippier Lowe
        Salah Alli Antonio Carroll
        Kane Lukaku Abraham

        Subs: Foster, Yoshida, RLC, Dann

        1 FT & 2.1 ITB. Feel the defence now needs addressed due to doubts over players playing and bad fixtures. Tempted to take a hit just to clean it up. Also want Antonio out.

        Dann > Kolasinac
        Yoshida > Jones

        This leaves 0.9 so I could do Antonio to Silva later.
