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

    Firmino to Aguero? 2.3itb

    Need to shave 0.5 of the team aswell. Atsu to 4.5m? Alonso to Azpi/Walker?

    Foster-Elliot
    Alonso-Jones-Cedric-Naughton-Mee
    Eriksen-Salah-Mhki-Ritchie-Atsu
    Kane-Firmino-Quaner

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

      relax it looks fine/actually pretty damn good maybe just save the transfer for now? If you want you can get in Kolasinac for Cedric or something but not the time for jerking onto Aguero today especially with Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd still to play.

    Lukaku blank tomorrow might not be the worst thing tbh. Eriksen(c) would then be better than Kane(c) and Lukaku(c).

      I hope Pochettino has learnt his lesson and doesn't play Son LWB again. Which means, Davies starts if they're playing 3 at the back.

    1. Please choose one to sell:
    Kane or Lukaku?

    2. Please choose one to buy:
    Aguero or de Jesus?

    (of course we'll wait until Man Utd game but just want to know you opinion)
    Thanks.

      Lukaku > Aguero among those, but I'd rather look at ways to lose a premium mid than a premium forward currently.

      As attacking as Spurs are and as creative as Eriksen is, they're severely lacking a flair player. Someone who can run at defenders and create something out of nothing in games like this. I mean, Son is the closest thing they have to a Hazard and Sanchez ffs

      What would be your advice how to deal with this lot after bad gameweek:

      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 (-4)
      B) Willian, Stephens & Lukaku -> Ritchie, Kola/Mendy & Aguero (-8)
      C) Wildcard

        Only if you want a really expensive forward line. But then still probably not.

        You might need to choose between dropping Kane/Lukaku. It might be wise to consider that after Palace next saturday, City play Shakthar on tuesday and Chelsea the saturday after that so assume there will be rotation/resting of key players.
