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

    The question you have to ask yourself is whether:

    Jesus + £2.0m > Aguero + £1.0m > Kane

    Personally thinking that Morata and Aguero + the money to spend elsewhere is a good combo. You can get Mkhi, Eriksen, Salah to get Utd, Spurs and Liverpool coverage.

        I would still argue that Morata at 10.2m is a snip because Kane won't outscore him enough to justify the extra £2.3m. Kane needs to score 8+ goals more than Morata to justify the extra cash. Is that going to happen? I can't see it. I can see Kane scoring more goals, but not that many more.

          Similar fixtures to City upon checking. Aguero is a proven beast, but on another day I'm sure the goals could go Jesus way.

          Do like Morata as he's the only real striker playing as well.

          Thing is Otamendi/Stones will give me funds to upgrade Chicharito to Vardy. Plus City midterm fixtures are better. That's why I'm leaning towards A. right now, but a bit scared of Pep rotation. Is Mangala the only threat to the centrebakcs ?

            Well v Kompany is set to return this week so it could be 3 at the back which will mean you could be safe. However you don't know with pep; Fernandinho has played there before. I would go with stones over otamendi because this season stones has been excellent and Nicos first half performance v Liverpool wasn't very convincing.

          So yes lots of laughs at Kane owners (I am one)

          This however is another example and probably the most high profile in awhile that using analysis and percentages with chat and debate is not a Fantasy Football bible or even a gospel. It's pure banter with maths.

          To win FPL takes luck, with a hint of updated news and a general understanding of how modern day football operates.

          Scoutcast is good for a laugh but not essential or members tables. They can help and be a hindrance and taken in equal measure.

          Enjoy the game, fund it with membership (like I do) to support the community (and Mark) or take it at the level you want.

          Enjoy the rest of the season but don't expect promises nobody has given you.

            20,000 + people getting rid of Lukaku before he plays is absurd.

                I'm thinking Kane > Aguero for next GW for sure.

                At home to Palace, who are awful, Kane playing at the Olympic stadium, which has a wide pitch like Wembley that obviously doesn't work well for Tottenham. I can transfer him back in the following GW, when Spurs play Hudds away, which has a smaller pitch. I plan to wildcard ahead of GW8 anyway, so I should be fine.
