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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I think there is a problem in Members area, "Big Chances" are not being counted, and every player has 0 "Big Chances"

        Don't like it, you have no bench, and two of your playing defenders may not be long term options.

      Batshuayi you beauty

    4. KUNingas

      Which one for next week. Currently have Monreal and Daniels and about to ditch one of them

      A) Hegazi (STK) + Monreal (liv)
      B) Trippier (BUR) + Daniels (MCI)

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        B

    5. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Do we expect Kola to be put at Lwb next game and his true beast potential to be unleashed?

      1. Waxys
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes I also expect Kane to score a hat trick and holding to start 🙂

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        i want to know this too! Jones or BAvies or Tripps if fit all look better options

      3. Rash
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        With him going off instead of bellerin I wouldn't be so sure

      4. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'd expect so with Kos coming back but I'm selling anyway.

        Can't see any returns vs Pool

      I forgot how annoying this place is on matchday.

            Yeah it's just highlighted even more.

          A) Kola/Willian/KDB --> Trippier/Eriksen/Pogba (-4)
          B) Kola/KDB --> Alonso/Pogba (free)

          How can one afford Alonso. I just don't get it...

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 8 months ago

              See him as a midfielder

            • Postman Ty
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              treat him like a mid

            • Hanked
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              By compromising in another area. I think he is good value but it depends how it plays with the rest of your team

            Whos taking a hit this week then? -4? -8? Or even more drastic, who's WCing?

            1. Up the tics
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              maybe -4
              Kolasinac, PVA out for Alonso, Jones. Makes sense

          4. KJT123
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            32 with Aguero (C) to go. Still really bad, right?

            1. Lecky Legs FC
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I'm on 40 with Aguero (C) & KDB to go nothing is bad yet KJT

            Hi guys, I've 0.0 ITB and 2 FT. I need to replace Zaha and probably Monreal

            Any thoughts on what I should do?

            Foster Myhill
            Walker Monreal Yoshida Mee Francis
            Willian KDB Zaha Ritchie Carroll
            Chicharito Lukaku Kane

            Kane and Willian both hit the post and Alonso scored twice, well lol RIP my gameweek

            is jones first choice for utd now or rotation risk?

            My knee is itching...

            Kane --> Aguero / Jesus
            +
            Danillo --> Alonso?

            1. homoud0072

              6 years, 8 months ago

              no don't do it
              kane will score against next week and tbh he played well today but wasn't lucky

              keep him and figure out other way to get alonso

          9. Permian23
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I should have listened to Granville and Jonty on the Scoutcast; Mooy, Alonso, Eriksen

          10. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Would it be rash to take a -8 to get Alonso in?
            Already just dropped $140 on a jersey.

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years

            ok opinions please

            Kompany, KDB, Zaha and Francis to Alonso, Micky, Pogba and Mooy -8?

            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.

            Pending tomorrow's game, what do you guys think about doing Quaner + David Silva -> Chicharito + Tadic/Redmond for a -4? Would leave me without City coverage though.

            60 post-BAPS with KDB to go. I know that is good, but it is about to go downhill next week when Kane scores his hat-trick and Firmino is benched (non-Kane owner)

              Exactly the same score for me this with just KDB to go.
