Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

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

    Pochettino thought he's being very clever.... backfired. Davies in such great form.

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He's been too good to rest.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        And he's been good support for the front three. Son got in their way...

        1. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          He's so greedy.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Exactly.

      but that's not the reason they didn't win

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

        It is one of the reasons. Changed a lot of the system with son playing lwb then tripper and sissoko rwb

      2. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Correct. The tempo was so so slow. Dembele was missed hugely as Sissoko is nowhere near good enough.

      3. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I feel it was, because in many ways Son was a hindrance. He is greedy. He doesn't support the front three.

    3. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I don't understand resting him today when they could have find it Wednesday against Barnsley.

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        *done

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Horrible decision

    5. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. Was painful watching Vert limit their width and then Tripper out-of-position and struggling. Bavies has been their outlet this season.

    6. Regin
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      seriously why the hell didnt davies start???

  2. Random Name

    God bless David Silva.

      God bless Hooky Street. 😉

  3. La Galatica

    sorry for the repost but how should a person feel about the below result - should just be happy for green arrow?

    43pts and bench 20pts , -8 and 3 players left. predicted arrow is??????? green under 200k

    1. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      delighted .....

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        43 -8 = 35pts but at least its a greenarrow

  4. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Only way I can see to get myself a City striker is Tammy -> Calvert-Lewin and Firmino -> Jesus (have Salah)

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Do it

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Do Hemed for Tammy instead imo

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Ok thanks

  5. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Might go Aguero and Jesus next week

    1. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I am thinking about it (on WC)

  6. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Time to WC or just take out Danilo

    Elliott Foster

    Danilo TAA Mee Dunk Bertrand

    Salah Eriksen Ritchie Gross Carroll

    Lukaku Kane Chicarito

    1.1 ITB 1 FT

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Don't wildcard, it's ok. Danilo to Kolasinac I reckon.

  7. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    My prediction? I'll drop Kane, then he'll explode.
    After dropping KDB, he's tallied three assists.
    Heard it here first.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Owners would even take a Kane goal time being, forget about him exploding. 😆

  8. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Will Aguero rise in price tonight?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane cost just too much money for the points he gets this season. Stats are one thing, points are what matters .

  9. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    People selling Kane with these two away games coming up. You'll never learn.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Why so scared of him? 12.5 for a player who scores 2 in 5 weeks in atrocious.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        2 goals including 1 attempted cross which went in, cheeky.

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What about the other games he blanked ....

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 6 months ago

        His value is abysmal.

      • My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You've held him for 5 weeks and got what out of him? Talk about not learning lessons, hmm.

    4. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      The scout selection has been terrible.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Been very poor all season.

    5. eazy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      27 points post-WC with only Kaku and Mkhi to play 🙁 Awful result but no point in knee-jerking now. Team still looking decent for the next gameweek.

    6. Magic Box
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio + Firmino -> Gross + Jesus (-4)?

      Worst wildcard team ever!

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane + Mounie + Mkhi > Aguero + Jesus + Atsu (-4) sound ok?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, good on paper

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That knee twitching TM?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          2 FTs or WC so need to do something.

      3. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Sound idea, but many on here won't like it

      4. MTPockets
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I'd do it.

        • dhamphiir
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Doubling City Striker and Newcastle midfield?

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

          Nah. Sleep on it.

        • KingNidge
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Think you gotta be honest with yourself mate under no circumstance will you sell Kane

        • gilean
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Doubling up on Newcastle though?

      5. Neeskens Under Matip
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm, surely the "dream team" should have the 3 player per team cap?

      6. BROOKLYN GOONER
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Should I replace Harry with Kun or Jesus?

      7. JogaSemmedo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Kane owners, which of the following will you do this week?

        A) Sell

        B) Keep

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Thinking of selling to Aguero

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

          B

        3. BROOKLYN GOONER
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Sell, of course. Only question is whom to buy.

      8. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I will bring in Kun this week.... Pep will bench Kun on the weekend... I will ditch Kun next week.... Kun will score a hattrick... I will kill Pep

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

          Is this past or future?

        2. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          You will spend the rest of your days in jail..watching as your FPL rank dwindles (through smuggled in phones).. Is it worth it

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Nope

          2. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I presume some of this needs to be in speechmarks...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Can't you start by killing Pep now? 😉

      9. xHolmesyx
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Fernandez or naughton???

      10. Regin
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        can anyone have more bad luck. I removed jesus 3 weeks ago & since then he got- 9, 12, 6 points & useless kane 2-13-2

        last week i removed trippier for naughton & then trippier got 10 & 6 pts.
        Naughton was on my bench today as 2nd option.

        this week i removed yoshida & put in b davies- yoshida gets 8 points,davies 0 , my first sub is rlc with 2 pts.

        Also keep getting elliott/ foster gk combo wrong.

      11. Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Jesus kun and Silva all in my WC team . Am I mad?

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Thinking of doing the same...

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Not mad but brave

      12. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Rough
        Sold Yoshida (8) to get Davies (dnp)
        Smooth
        Naughton off the bench

        Still lost 2 points and a transfer

      13. Spg76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Does Wembley inspire the opposing teams?

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Almost definitely, easy team talk for opposing managers

          1. Spg76
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Wales won't go near the Millennium/Principality Stadium even though they lose a lot of money by not doing it. Gives opponents a lift to play at dream stadiums. I wonder what Spurs other options were?

      14. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Kane my gee

      15. makaveli123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Oh my, Stephens dropping tonight already. Any good replacements?

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

          Naughton

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Going for Keane myself and hoping Everton fix up as their fixtures do

          • Essan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Naughton or lascelles - both could rise

        3. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          People think Pep has now settled on his line up? Jesus and Kun should start 4 of every 5 games right?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 6 months ago

              I think they will play the majority together but there'll be times where one or both don't start or come off very early, still think it's worth investing in

          2. el polako
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Atleast the disscussion about wether Harry Kane ia word class or not can be concluded now.

            1. el polako

            Terrible GW. Triple United to save me?

          4. xHolmesyx
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Swap Stephens for:

            A) Cedric
            B) Naughton
            C) Fernandez

            1. Farke in hell
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              saints have got Man U, Stoke, Newcastle next
              who are doing good. So I guess replace with a Swans

          5. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I like the bragging on here. Not like every week you get a good score so you need to make the most of it IMO.

            1. the snazzy viking
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              The last time I had a good week was GW1 and I'd say at least 60% of everyone on here still got a better score

          6. F4L
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Izquierdo dropping in price tonight? Who the hell even puts these players in 😆
