Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

3,383 Comments
Share

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

        I'm looking at fixtures mate. You could have them each playing Palace at home back to back weeks. 3 goals and an assist is a nice reminder of Aguero's potential.

    Hmmm. It probably depends how tomorrow goes but the first reaction is:

    Lukaku > Aguero
    Fraser > Ritchie
    =
    Foster
    Jones Yoshida Davies
    Mhiki Erkisen Salah Ritchie
    Kane Aguero Mounie

        Because however you look at it, Kane is essential.

        Its also harder to switch him in and out where as kaku, Aguero, Jesus, Moreta and Lacazette all in same bracket.

          Kane ain't essential this season mate.

          Your whole team has to be based around him and he's not scoring the goals to justify weakening the rest of your team for him right now.

    Well, it's fair to say my wildcard hasn't paid off this week.

    Pre-WC team would've scored 45 with 4 players to go including Lukaku (C).

    Actual team has scored 16 with 4 players to go and captain already played.

    Glorious.

        Hello guys..19 points with Willian, Jones, Mkhi and Lukaku to play and really tempted to wildcard. 🙁 What would be your advice with this lot:

        Foster
        Davies, Jones, Suttner
        Willian, Eriksen, Mkhitaryan, Choupo-Moting
        Lukaku, Kane, Firmino

        Subs: Elliott --- Stephens, Carroll, Long --- 0.3 ITB, 1 FT

        A) Willian and Stephens -> Ritchie and Kolasinac
        B) Willian, Stephens & Lukaku -> Ritchie, Kola/Mendy & Aguero
        C) Wildcard
