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 think kane has more opportunities and more big haul potential. That said, I've got little real output to justify this rationale.

          I'm just as lost but I'm shocked to not see a single B. I thought Spurs were so slow today and ditching Kane, if I were to do that, has more to do with Spurs in general, than Kane. They wasted 45 minutes of the first half with slow labored sideways passing. Listening to pundits roll out the stats for this game is so silly. The games against Newcastle, Chelsea, Everton were different. Spurs were direct and Kane got chances but missed them. He got nothing today.

    Anyway now I need to decide if to ship Pogba tonight and lose .1 value or wait and see how the games go. Thing is there seems to be no options to choose from at his price with 0m itb.

          The best advice I ever got from this site was simply, don't keep transferring out players for the new hot thing after one or two blanks, the players you have are good otherwise you wouldn't have them in the first place- last year was my worst ever in fpl and I can't tell you the amount of times I'd take a hit and get in blankets while taking out top scorers for the week.

          A lot of people here are getting burned week by week but still seem to be continuing with the same tactics which is weird.

          Taking out one good player for another good player isn't the worst thing to do but if it's simply because the latter has done well in the current gameweek then is it really worth a transfer

            It's worth it if the new player continues to tear it up while your old player goes on a bad tun of form.

              I second this. But Kane is doing my head in right now

              Lukaku has better fixtures than Aguero in the next two, yet people are considering taking him out. Will backfire.

              After the next two, it can be done as the fixtures turn ugly for Lukaku.

                Captain poll will be dominated by Aguero, Lukaku falling in price Aguero to double rise.
                May be worth it just for the one week

                  What about the week after then? Lukaku has Palace at home, Aguero has Chelsea away. Reverse the transfer again?

                  At least Lukaku only has Southampton away next week.

            People think its unwise to invest in City attack with CL coming up. We all know Pep loves a benching, and Kane should be nailed to start. Only problem is the potential price swing

                The fact remains that aguero and Jesus will start the majority of matches and together. Everyone gets rotated from time to time

                  yes. I'm looking very short term here though, as I still think Kane should outscore the city pair next GW

                    More chance Aguero rested for Turkey match, they away and can play more defensive

                Plays pretty far up, but Stoke aren't the same team away as they are at home.

              £0.1m away from going (-4) Tadic, Richarlison & Chicharito > Salah, Ritchie & £4.5m FWD and playing 4-4-2.

              Team would've been

              Elliott / Lossl
              Alonso / Davies / Jones / Mee / Mbemba
              Alli / Salah / Mkhi / Ritchie / Chalobah
              Kane / Lukaku / 4.5

              Looks so nice, bit gutted.

              Are we over thinking this? Kane > Kun?
