Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

3,383 Comments
Share

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

      Jesus who seems to get 70 mins a game

      Or kun who always seems a rotation risk?

      Considering lukaku to kun (c) for next week.

      This season is just impossible. My captaincy picks so far:

      Gw1: Kane 1p * 2 = 2p
      Gw2: Jesus 1p * 2 = 2p
      Gw3: Kane 2p * 2 = 4p
      Gw4: Sanchez 1p * 2 = 2p
      Gw5: Kane 2p * = 4p.

      Sanchez was a punt that didn't work out, and is the only genuine mistake in there I would say.

      Can anyone top this for captaincy returns so far?

          Salah and Arfield share bonus 3 right?

          Also, anyone else thinking the Free hit card could be good to use for GW6 to get City and Arsenal assets? Then revert back in GW7 for United home tie vs Palace.

          No idea where to go with this now...

          Foster/Elliot
          Jones, Cedric, Naughton/Mee/Wimmer
          Alli, Salah, Mkhi, RLC/Chalobah
          Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

          I want to sell Firmino, Lukaku, Mkhi, Wimmer and Mee... Will probably just use one FT this week and re-evaluate.

          Kaku > Kun (FT)??

            Or... go even more top heavy and get rid of Mkhi and Firm for Aguero and a cheaper mid...

            So unbalanced though.

            Speaking as captain of Bolivia Giroud, I should certainly dump Kane, if I were you. 😉

                Well, initially it was because I won't Captain him. But now I'm not so sure.

                Another possible is:

                Mkhi, Wimmer > Walker, Ritchie

                Going three heavies up top doesn't feel right.

                    I'm just wondering. Current plan is probably sell after GW7.

                      I think you have it right. I'll probably begrudgingly hold him and Firmino (despite the sub) then well for Vardy and either Morata or Kun.
