Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

    New chip:
    100 points if all your players blank

      Gives an unfair advantage to the scout picks.

          Haha

        Then everyone would take the players who are not making the squad ..... 😀

      Kane hattie no week looks inevitable now; people please don't be stupid and take him out

        If you believe that, why don't you want people to take him out?

      3. Waxys

        Why?

      4. Yozzer

        I want everyone to take him out. Surely it's better for us?

      I am very tempted to WildCard, thoughts?

      Foster
      Ake Stephens Davies
      Ritchie Gross Salah KDB
      Mounie Kane(C) Lukaku....

      Bench, Elliot Suttner, Kola, Carrol

      Switched Gabs to mounie this week which backfired, lack of Utd midfield killing me.
      Already 70pts behind in league.

      Would want to get in Pogba, Mikki, Chico or Firminio and rework the defence to be a bit stronger......

        No... 2 transfers to great team... Kane looked great today... brace next week

        1. Toby Lerone
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          What two transfers?

    11. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Do I save my transfer? Or just admit
      I am wrong and do Alli>Eriksen now?

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

        Too late u lost profit

        1. Permian23
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Is that a yes or a no?

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

            Too late to join the bandwagon pal stick with ur expensive mistake.

            Jks Alli will still do well and nearly got an assist if Kane didn't hit the post

          2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
            • 14 Years

            Yes

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

        I would hold. I think u have better use of that transfer. Alli is as good an option as Eriksen

      The last time I saw Spurs win at Wembley was in 1981

      All 4K Alonso in - I mean really how long does it take for a -4 these days 🙂

        Oh the - 4 already got taken yesterday 🙂

    14. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I talked myself out of holding Alonso due to his price, stupid move it seems. Got to try and get him back

      1. Frozen flying mammoth
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He was the first name on my team sheet after looking at price verses expected returns. Then decided I HAD to have Kane so sacrificed Alonso.

        1. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yep same. Think is if I dump Kane it would make my team so more balanced but I know what will happen if I get rid

    15. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Monreal to Davies or Jones?

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

        I thought the Premier League definition of an own goal was that it's when a player turns in a ball that was otherwise not going in.

        Do I remember this wrong, or should that be an Eriksen goal?

        1. Sims

          Not happening

          Free kicks have different rules.

            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Really?

            I had no idea about this. Do you have any source for it or is it just common knowledge?

              • 14 Years

              Don't know really. Guess you need to compare to Kane freekicks that go in.

        3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          It was going right to a teammate or the keeper... definitely an own goal

      5. Waxys
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wembley plus August Curse for Kane ouch.

        I'll enjoy keeping Eriksen and Trippier though.

        1. Tactical Nuke
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Trippier went off injured.

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            What he didn't tell you was that he transferred Trippier in before the game ended

          2. Waxys
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I know and I don't care lol

        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Hate owning Alli right now - not much between them before start of season, but seems I backed the wrong horse. And have more pressing issues than switching Alli for Eriksen

        1. Permian23
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Same here. But Eriksen will go up, so it's now
          or never....

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Didn't look threatening today and when Son came on he was so far away from the attack. Burnley next week will tell us more

            When you switch the other one comes good while the one you bring in does nothing. Happened to me last season.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                6 years, 7 months ago

                This, and then I got them both in and they both stopped for a few weeks!

                Yes WC team. Did it but site timed out. Omen?
                Trippier injury leaves me .1 short - ffs

            bad start for me this year and I am around 2.1 Million mark. Really tempted to play my wc but should probably save it ?

            I know it's early days but Fraser or Carrol? Who to start? The home lad against City or Carrol who plays away at CPL.

            They'll both probably blank but anyway.
