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

    I'll wait till tomorrow but wpuld you do this:

    Morata to Aguero (vs Crystal gw6) & Cedric to Mbemba

    This is -4

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

      No I wont, morata more consistent, Aguero will be streaky and is also not a Guaranteed Starter.

      Problem is, it could be Jesus with the hattrick next week and Aguero with 'only' one goal. They may just end up cancelling each other the whole season so getting both may also be an option.

      'Rich' man's version of the 'Aguero v Tevez or get them both' debate few seasons ago.

    Think I'll save a FT, captain Kane next he, if he flops I'll give it some thought, thankfully I can get any other striker in the game, even after 3 rises

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Doing the same, one good thing about owning Kane I guess. The world becomes your oyster if ever you take him out

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

          I Don't own Kane and seriously wont be bothered even if he scores a Hatty.

        Suggestions for Richarlison (6.0) and Antonio (7.5) double replacement. 0.6 itb.

        I can just about afford Mahrez & Choupo-Moting.

        Any other suggestions?

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Salah and Atsu?

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years

            I think I'm 0.1 or 0.2 short 🙁

          Richarlison is a good pick IMO, they won't be playing City every week.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            8 points in 3 gameweeks.

            (Brighton & Southampton)

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

          I want to believe you bought those two bcos you believed over 2-3 gameweeks they will deliver attacking returns not in one.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I've had them for 3 weeks now.

            Richarlison nothing in 3 weeks. Antonio 1 assist.

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

        Why is it silly to consider shipping out Kane instead of Lukaku for Aguero (if you absolutely had to get him)?

            Shipped out Lukaku for kane and keeping him for next two away games regardless of price drops.

        A) Monreal (WBA, BHA)

        Firmino + Lukaku --> Aguero + Jesus?

          Yeah

      • Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The amount of knee-jerking is hilarious - Firmino dropping like a stone, at -20 after rising yesterday.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          That is because people who bought Firmino were Jerkers. Jerkers will jerk both ways

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Possible WC Team - exact money. Light on def but stacked up top:

        Fabianski - Krul
        Kola Naughton Lascelles Mbemba Rosenior
        Alli Salah Mkhi Ritchie Chalobah
        Kane Morata Vardy

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

          I'd find someone other than Lascelles if you're going for Mbebma.

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

          Mate, I hate to be the one to tell you but Kane blanked this week and Aguero scored three and assisted one. You better reconsider.

          1. Lovejoy
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            And next week it could be the other way around. Feel Aguero is more at risk of rotation for Champs Lge, think Pep has the deeper squad and the easier fixtures coming up

        3. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          No love for ManC Mr Lovejoy?

          1. Lovejoy
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Lots of love, but I don't know who to jettison in that front 6 to accommodate them. Potentially Kane -> Aguero but it feels too kneejerky. Tricky one, KDB still seems too much ££ to justify his returns, I'm not sold on Jesus and Silva, but perhaps I'm a bit Kane-blind now and am simply more scared of going without when I'm being more roundly punished in general for sticking with him at present.

        Any Liverpool fans around? Thoughts on Chamberlain (not FPL wise, just asking)?

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

          Wasn't signed for instant impact. Will provide depth on the wing and in midfield over the next years and suits Klopp philosophy. Can only improve

        3. Think

          Once he handled the ball in penalty box and gibbs was red carded for it.

        Are Citiee going to keep this up? They look irresistable and the goals are just ridiculous. Has Pep hit the sweet spot?

                  • 13 Years
                  6 years, 7 months ago

                  Definitely Lukaku. I trust Kane more to score the brace/hattricks.

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

                    Good point. Kane as a differential is tasty too

          Didn't City win their first 6 games last season and then what happened?

          I trust Mourinho. Builds his team on solid defence.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Chelsea and City favourites

              Man Utd Spurs duke it out for the scraps

              Arsenal and Liverpool attempt to squeeze into the top 4

            • Nascimento
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              What has Mourinho got to do with City's fantasy output?

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

                I am happier with 3 Utd players (a defender, midfielder and striker) that will be consistent over the season than City players who will be more prone to rotation and volatile results.

                1. Nascimento
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 7 months ago

                  Fair enough. Differs from my opinions but I guess that's what the game's all about.

            • Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Mmm. Thats the nagging thought. Last season though Pep was only just starting to sort the mess out. Whereas this season its all his own work. I have avoided so far but done know how long I can or shoudl leave it.

            • Freddo
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Didn't United win their first 3 games last season? 9 points out of 9 before Mourhino got stuck in 6th.

            They're not going to keep scoring five or six goals every week, but they should keep scoring at a higher rate than all other teams imo

            Is Abraham coming off for Bony a worrying sign for his owners?

              Yep. Is / was always on the cards. Bony has expereince and thats what Swansea will need not a kid learning on the job.
