Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Spurs

1,614 Comments
Share

Fantasy Football returns with a bang as we are thrust into the cauldron of a north London derby.

Arsenal face Spurs at the Emirates Stadium, in a match which is dominated by the visitors when it comes to Fantasy interest.

Harry Kane is undoubtedly the main the focus. Backed by an army of two million owners, Kane contested the Gameweek 11 captaincy with Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku.

He faces the Gunners having scored in each of his five derby appearances against them so far, converting a penalty in both matches last season. Kane has also claimed six of his eight goals on his travels this season.

Elsewhere in the Spurs camp, Chrisitan Eriksen and Dele Alli will bid to revive their Fantasy stock after sustained heavy sales leading into today’s deadline.

The pair have suffered from the soaring form from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Manchester City’s midfield contingent. But Eriksen, in particular, takes outstanding form into today’s clash having single-handedly carried Denmark to victory over the Republic of Ireland in their midweek World Cup play-off victory.

For Arsenal, today’s encounter represents a scouting mission, as we assess the merits of Sead Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez, Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey as potential targets for the festive period.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            Of course it does. Your argument is that he hasn’t started because of the midweek ‘faint’. Will he miraculously no longer be at risk an hour after kick off?
