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

    waxys always vouched for Silva and hart, how I wish I had listened to him from the word go. Regrets

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I did.

    2. F4L

      RIP Waxys

      And Milner lest we forget

  2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't worry, Everton will go ultra ultra defensive after the beat down they recieved in the Europa

      Did anyone watch the City match? Thoughts about KDB's position?

      Still Kevin Deep Bruyne or has it changed?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Still looks too expensive to be honest

      2. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I watched Bournemouth on friday, and i watched man city today

        Conclusion: Charlie Daniels plays a more attacking role than De Bruyne.

      3. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Watched it, getting a lot more involved in attacking play. Got unlucky not to get more than just an assist today. I'm an owner and really don't know what to do with him

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

          Keep him

      4. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        silva looked more involved and had good chances

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

        The assists will keep coming and an odd goal here and there, not sure if that's good enough for a 10m mid. I'm keeping him nevertheless.

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

        If you have to ask than you really should look at the stats.

    • The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Those who can switch to city players the fastest will move up the league quickest

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

        Already have KDB and Silva, planning to do Morata to Jesus, still not 100% sure though.

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

        Jesus/Kun though

    • Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm putting as much thought into deleting my team as I am my next transfer 😆

      1. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Don't do that.
        Set yourself a ranking target and have some fun trying to reach it.
        Don't take this game seriously or you'll fry your brain.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Don't tell not to take this seriously. This is serious

        2. Viper
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          My interest levels are as low as they've been in a long time but hopefully it will pick back up when the points start flowing

        3. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think he's playing against himself or FFS. It's ML pressure that does this.

          1. Digital-Real
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            This

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Certainly. He is a very fine player. 🙂

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

          This. He is one of the best.

      2. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No. Usually fails to make the top mill....although I do believe he has upped his game of late.

    • F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm getting really desperate now. Someone post a good team for me please 🙂

        Mine is muddling along ... 🙂

        1. Think
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Hey doosra thanks for sharing your home/away numbers. I went with Lukaku > Kane and kept Aguero. I captained kane but still happy with Kun's points.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Excellent!!! 😀

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

        Any team with the City strikers upfront 😆

    • Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted by the knee-jerk...

      Kane & Firmino -> Aguero & Morata/Jesus

      1. Indrandro
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Keep Kane

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

        Just one of them for now, think Leicester vs Pool will be an open game, so I'd keep Firmino.

    • Indrandro
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      How nailed is D. Silva?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        As can be

    • The Butch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I've owned and captained Kane 4 gameweek out of 5, guess which ones...?

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Same

      7 chances created by TAA 😯

      Never doubt the Scout-Meister

      1. goriuanx

        More importantly, 2 points.

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

          Mark was right, after all.

    • The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero (C) next week is too hard to turn down.

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

        They'll take turns I reckon, Aguero's turn done this week. So you know who.. 😉

    • FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      city blank confirmed next week

    • Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Best Stephens replaement for 5.4m?
      I'm looking at Mawson, Naugton, Monreal...

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'd say Monreal out of those options

      2. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        thanks for the advice on Kun v Kane last night.

        😉

        1. Pariße

          haha fair enough. I got everything wrong this gameweek.

      • 9 Years

      It's 63 post BPS and Ramsey to go.cant complaint with this score.

        Can I complain

        1. Think
          • 9 Years

          No have a easy go it's always nextweek.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

            Thanks, hoping for better next gameweek. Enjoy your score. It's a great game when it goes well

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

        Probably GW rank #1 or something close I am guessing

        1. Think
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not that good but will be enough to push my team in top 100k

        You're an absolute c**t

        Why would you post that when you know people are hurting on here?

        1. Think
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Didn't mean to hurt anyone, sorry if you feel hurt. Was just sharing.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            Sorry m8. I was out of order TBF

        2. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Anything that could go wrong ..... As mentioned earlier though, that pales into insignificance compared to those managers that removed Aguero ... there's always someone out there worse off!

        3. Pariße
          • 9 Years

          😆

    • The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Chicharito > (-4)

      1. Vardy
      2. Firmino
      3. Bench him and play Cedric (H) to Utd

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

        1

      2. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Vardz

    • Yome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So it is Lukaku to Aguero this week

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Watch Aguero get limited pitch time and Jesus to shine...

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not with his form, both of then will play

        2. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Looking at his history, he has played 80-90 minutes every game but one, where he played 24 vs. bournemouth (may be that was a red card game where pep reconfigured, I'm can't recall).

      2. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'm doing Kane to Aguero. For 12.5 I expect him to score a goal every week.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 7 months ago

            But the whole point is you keep him forever so 4 blanks in a row can be made up in his next 4 with braces in each

      3. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        19 so far

        Alonso, Jones, Ramsey, Mhki & Lukaku to play.

        Misery again 😆

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

          you'll outscore me probably. 31, Jones and Mkhi to go

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Not expecting much from any of them except Lukaku and I'll be half hoping he does nothing with all the captaincies

        2. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Same score as mine but you have Alonso and Ramsey against my Willian left (we both have same United guys) so I'd say you are doing ok or at least still have a good chance for ok gameweek

        3. Garlana
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          23 for 7 I feel your pain

        4. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          29 Mkhi Lukaku Jones to go.

      4. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I literally have no idea what to do with Kane. Killing me in my MLs, but deep down I know he will score a couple against Wham. So stuck rn

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          It seems that Kane will shine away where pitches are smaller rather than that big old Wembley pitch.

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

            London Stadium is big sadly

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

          What's your team

        3. Indrandro
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Keep... Fixtures look too good

      5. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Dean Saunders is TV gold!

      6. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        37(including baps)(-4). Anyone know around what rank. Have Kaku and Mkhi left

      7. Regin
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        hernandez out for who??

        Abraham or Hemed?

        Bag the 2m & improve defence.

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

          Neither. Try and upgrade to heavy hitter and downgrade elsewhere

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

        aguero isn't gonna rise tonight is he?

      9. rdpx
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Currently ten percent of players own Aguero.

        Anyone like to take a guess at what that percentage will be next game week?

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

          17.4%

        2. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          between 19 and 21 %

        3. rdpx
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Actually 11%

          It was 10% this afternoon!

        4. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          18%

      10. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        captain choices for me so far.
        GW1) Kane - 2
        GW2) Lacazette - 4
        GW3) Kane - 4
        GW4) Lacazette - 12
        GW5) Kane - 4

        I really do need to nail them from now on.

      11. hannibalos
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Blind looks less and less nailed.

        Baines might drop to 5.9M soon. (Need that)

        Considering the fixtures to come, how do you see:

        Blind to Baines for a hit?

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

          Looks okay but hit for a defender always dodgy

          1. Think
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I would get kola if you have enough in bank.

            1. hannibalos
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Only 0.4M in the bank and already 1 transfer. Will have 5.9 to spend tops. I thought Kola too but cant reach him 🙁

          2. hannibalos
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I know mate but sometimes you have to do it.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Not for a hit, and if baines is off set pieces settle for Keane at 5.5

            1. hannibalos
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Thanks for the input my friend but personally I find Keane somewhat overrated. If I could not reach Baines I would maybe go for Williams.

              1. Neeskens Under Matip
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Keane seems to be nailed. Williams and Jags fighting it out. Koeman will go back to basics and aim for clean sheets...

          • red forever
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Only issue being Evertons lack of form

            1. hannibalos
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              I know and you are right but their fixture list improves a lot and I am sure they will toughen up. I wish Funes Mori was healthy, he would be a really good short term option

        3. ohmyshinjis
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Need to replace Stephens. 1.4 ITB.

          a) Otamendi
          b) Ben Davies
          c) Kolasinac
          d) Other

        4. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Re-learnt a valuable lesson today. My one basket had far too many eggs in it.

          Painful anyway but when it's the team you support....

          Walker vs. Kolasinac?

          Can't squeeze a City striker in, so thinking Walker :/ not ideal...

              Arguably not much in it though

              Here comes the stats man. I am planning for Manquilo to Kolasinac.

          Interesting that Kane's two goals came away at Everton where the pitch is much smaller and compact, like the old WHL pitch. We might find this season that he should only be captained when play at old-style grounds with tighter pitches rather than Wemberley
