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.

    Would you rather do
    A. Stephens to Alonso
    B. Willian to eriksen

    In case of a, Antonio comes in for willian in gw4

    1. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Triple P
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A

  2. Meltens
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Fine line between kneejerking and good management at times...

    Aké and Firmino to Alonso and Chicharito for a -4? (Got 0.5 in the bank).

    1. Triple P
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one... Think I would do it

    2. King Kohli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Either that or getting Kane in for Lacazette. Got a feeling he might do well against Pool though...

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Who do you think will return more over the next 4/5 weeks Lacazette or Chicharito

          1. Meltens
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I think Lacazette might smash it when/if Alexis plays for Arsenal again...

            1. Meltens
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Thats a lot of "..."s...

    alonso would probably have broken the 200 point mark if he started last season from the beginning (remember it was the heavy defeat at emirate that made the manager change things)

    when we put it that way 7m really looks nothing. will obviously get fewer cleanies this season but probably more goals

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

      id wait too see how he does when Pedro and Hazard come back into the team

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Will he start every match around CL?

  4. Vlad Tepes

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years

      Ser ikke bra ut

  5. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Im so crap at this game, I spend so much time on here and I still do terrible. Where as if I went with my original thoughts I would have been better off. Frequenting this place is ok, but paying attention to peoples opinions too much hurts

    1. Feloh
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      what's transfers did you make???

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Guys bring in Kane for GW4 and give him the armband because I will be taking him out after he blanks against Burnley

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This. Learn to ignore most of it. Like that Sane rubbish. I ignored it and capt him

      1. gilean
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You mean Mane?

    3. Triple P
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lol your words sound so familiar

  6. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of WC this...

    deGea - Lossl
    Alonso - Dawson - Lowe- Yoshida - Ward
    Eriksen - Mkhi - David Silva - Jese - Mooy
    Lukaku - Gabbi - Chicharito

    1.4 in the bank

  7. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlison might soon be my most expensive mid.

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      lol

    2. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Show us that midfield.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Would it not be more exciting to see the rest of the team...

        Anyway, I've shown my team plenty of times.

  8. eazy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Mooy or Richardlison for the 4th mid spot?

    1. Munchen KFC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The latter

    2. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mooy

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      just watching mooy play it's hard to imagine he'll get a lot of points

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He takes every free kick and corner, so there should be a steady if not spectacular return of points. Not sure who is on Pens yet?

        Mooy owner 🙂

    4. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Richardilson.
      Easy downgrade to Mooy if he fails

    5. Triple P
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mooy is really the star player atm for Huddersfield. Really want to get him in

  9. Lord of Ings

    Bench one of:-
    1)Willian

    Kane looked okay today right. No need to get the knees jerking?

    2. Tibbs

        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Its points not preception game.
        Having said that I will still probably cap him in next game.

    1. Epic Fail

      Don't expect anything, just see what happens.

    Sadly, this is the highest I've ever been and the highest I'm ever likely to be! 😆

              Yeh... just checked ... I am at 135 and 159K so that makes sense... good job

      Good for you.
      Try to hang on and it will improve even more.

  14. CFC1990

    Anyone swapping KDB to Eriksen tonight?

    I'm tempted as Eriksen may increase in value and Burnley at home next.

    KDB is going to have to do something very special to stop me.

    1. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wait until tomorrow.

      1. CFC1990
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why do you think that?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Because KDB might score 20pts and you will change your mind

          1. CFC1990
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Not 100% sure i would. Burnley at home is a great fixture and Eriksen looks very good. Plus TV is crucial at this point.

            See your point though.

            Cheers guys

        2. Speédy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          KdB can change your mind.

    How do people think Liverpool will do against Arsenal and ManC? I'm a fan so don't trust my own objectivity. Last year we played better against the big teams than the small ones. To Mané or not to Mané...

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      go with your gut man, you know Liverpool are going to lose both

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Research it and you wil find Mane is a beast against the top teams

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Both are playing 3 at the back right now. Tbh Mane Salah & Firmino could rip those CBs apart if Liverpool play properly.

  19. Syd.

    Firmino to Shitdareeko ?

  20. cruzex

    1. Frozen flying mammoth

      Yeah I'm doing it

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Of course

    3. el polako
      • 7 Years

      He is doing so well this season it would be madness not to cap him

  21. Zion
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So do I WC or take a hit?

    Planned transfers:
    KDB -> Pogba
    Valencia -> Bailly (need the funds)
    Ritchie -> Eriksen
    Firmino -> Chicarito
    For -12p. Is it crazy?

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years

      Can you do Valencia to Jones and do a -8?

    How did Atsu look?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Newcastle were pretty poor and he didn't see a lot of the ball but on the positive side for him, Benitez made 3 attacking subs and he wasn't one of them so he is clearly seen as an important / impact player. Will get a few goals and assists as a 5m bargain just need to time it properly.

      1. Licky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Fixtures looks good right now, but, as you say, Newcastle look quite poor.

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 15 Years

          I own and am holding but wouldn't buy or sell.

      Davies to Trippier, Rose is back soon

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't even think Rose is training yet and Trippier may be hurt he was subbed off late.

    2. Frozen flying mammoth
