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

        Aghhh can't decide!!

        1) Jesus with a back 4 inc Davies
        Or
        2) Aguero with a back 4 having to play Lowe every week, or a 4 man midfield having to play RLC or Carroll every week.

      What changes should I consider?

      1. Kristobal
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Downgrade Cedric to Mbemba and uppgrade RLC to Choupo Moting (playing OOP).

    12. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      What to do with the following:

      - Danilo
      - Manquillo
      - Davies
      - Willian

      Sell, keep, wildcard?

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

        Sell Danilo for sure.

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          He's definitely going. But the others?

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Keep Davies, they cant play without him as seen today 😉

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

          Poch did say Davies carrying ankle knock after Dortmund game so best wait to make sure recovered OK to play next week

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            That is true I saw him limp a little bit just after the game. My first thought was... he may be rested.

      3. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sell

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Gutted for transferring in Manquillo for Suttner. Convinced he'd play. Agree with everything, but Willian, which is idk for me.

    13. Ruud van Kane
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hi guy's

      Chicarito + Ali to Auguero + Atsu( -4) or Davis
      Yes or no?

    14. dee_top
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Having 1.5mln budget, what var is better?
      A) Dawson --> Kolasinac
      B) Rangel --> Naughton
      Any other?

    15. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy + Coutinho -> Aguero + Ritchie (-4) is a no-brainer right?

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I think I would, now Vardy flagged, injured?

        1. Alnair
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Groin injury.

          Sucks.

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn't if Vardy is declared fit

    16. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ignoring City assets is going to be hard...... One more week for my Spurs boys, should be revved up for next week in the London derby. Oh, and the games televised 😛

    17. YouReds
      • 10 Years

      Hey guys, who should I swap Stephens for ... up to 6m def

      A) Kola
      B) Trippier / Bavies
      C) Stones

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years

        A

    18. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is Cedric nailed on then? Seems a manager favourite. Just getting rid of Stephens and fancy another Saints defender

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

        Yes looked threatening today

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

      My WC has to be played imo. Team looks good on paper but when the points roll in I always end up with a red arrow, and I can't deal with it anymore. I've taken -12 points worth of hits in the last 2 gws and I'm missing some big key players; for example, Salah. I know I'm better than a 2.2m rank and it's just not good enough..

      Here's the team:

      Foster / Myhill
      Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
      Eriksen Alli Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
      Kane Lukaku Abraham

      My TV is also so low that I'm going sub 100m TV. Another 2 drops tonight if I don't WC

      Thoughts on whether to WC or not?

      (Double repost because this is a big decision to make in my FPL team)

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, wildcard. It's a good week to do so with the fixtures turning, etc. Abraham, Ramsey, one Spurs mid and your entire defence are worth replacing.

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wouldnt WC at all, I think rather ban being hasty and getting players out as as they blank which a lot are doing be patient. t worked for me with Debruyne and Jesus so just be patient its still early in the season. No need to WC just take out Suttner and Stephens if dont want to loose TV and leave it at that

      3. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        WC, you are taking hits to fix issues and your team is not optimised (ie Valencia eating up 6.5).

      4. Shultan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Personaly i would WC
        Defence is a mess & too much money tied up with just 4 attackers.

      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliot
      Davies - Jones - Bertrand
      Micky - Eriksen - Salah - Carroll
      Lukaku - Kane - Chicha

      Bench: Foster, Mbemba, Chalobah, Hegazi.

      0.2M in the bank, 1FT.. Whats the best use of this? Want Agüero (Lukaku out?), but feel like Chicha is a huge leak in my team atm... Advice highly appreciated!

    23. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Rooney wagon up and running tomorrow;)

    24. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      33 -8, Jones, Ramsey, lukaku to go.
      Davies and kane (c) really ducked me up today.
      Worse still a rival capt Aguero.

      Forster

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

        Why an earth would you WC that? Team looks good.

        1. dee_top
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Thinking about Dawson-->Kola or Rangel-->Naughton. Easy fixtures of Ars & Swa, no?

    26. cjhewitt92
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If money no object which 3 strikers would you guys have.Or 2 strikes and Sanchez what would you do

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        3 strikers - Lukaku Jesus Kun

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

        Aguero, Kane, Morata

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I will probably do this on my GW8 wildcard. Will still allow me to have a midfield of Pogba, Ritchie, Salah.

    27. Ruud van Kane
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Atsu or Davis if bringing in Auguero for a hit?

      Keeping Kane and Lukaku. Selling Ali and Chicarito

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Atsu.

    28. Rasping Drive

      Having realized after GW4 that I would have been 52 pts better off had I left my team alone after GW1, I decided to WC the shit out of it this week.

      Currently on 21 pts with 3 to play. Can someone remind me why I play this stupid game?'

      1. Magic Box
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        18 with 4!

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

        I just looked at my gw1 team and I had Aguero and Jesus. I have neither now and captained Kane 🙂

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yep I remember that; thought you'd be in for a huge points basket today. Didn't realize you'd sold them.

          The only way is up!

      @Tm. Any early indication on the LMS safety score?

    31. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not for the first time that a prem league team has had no plan on how to deal,with a parked,bus.

      The way NOT to deal with it is to keep going backwards and sideways and trying to still create a "good" goal...that's exactly what they want you to do.

      The right way IMHO is to keep,banging the ball into,the box as quickly and as often as possible..even if speculative. Mistakes will happen in the box, they just will, but you have to keep the ball in there.

      That first half by Spurs was really poor...

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years

        Towards the end they banged crosses in non stop

      Foster Elliot

      Eriksen Ritchie Choupo (Carroll Chalobah)
      Kane Lukaku Firmino
      My WC team doing mehh this week but had had Otamendi (12) Cresswell (9) Jesus (6) at some point instead of Mendy (6) Kola (?)Firmino (2)
      Ohh well...

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

      Chicharito + Kane > Vardy + Aguero for -4?

      1. BIG BAD BOY BRUNO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wouldn't lose Kane. How about getting Jesus in instead?

    34. BIG BAD BOY BRUNO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aghhh can't decide!!

      1) Jesus with a back 4 inc Davies
      Or
      2) Aguero with a back 4 having to play Lowe every week, or a 4 man midfield having to play RLC or Carroll every week.

    35. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Stephens and Redmond -> Kolasinac and Richie (-4)

      Have to do it tonight, will get priced out. Thoughts?

      Will WC after gw 7.

      1. Aguero wont change in price tonight right?

      2. Did Firmino played as a striker today?

      3. Name a players to get in for Chicharito at same price Class or cheaper.

      4. My english is really bad right?

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
