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

    Tottenham.

    Victim of UCL fatigue?

    Worrying for the next couple months.

        For some reason wembley is seen as being more tiring than most grounds, maybe there something in it

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Isn't it a bit larger than other grounds. Think that could be enough, actually

      feels unfair that those who played on wed night play sat and tuesday nighters get to play on sunday

      Poor tactics, lack of team speed, lack of a breakdown type ball handler (kyrie Irving).

      Liverpool too it looks like

      Spurs cannot get enough players in the box I already pointed this out at the start of the season hence I went Kaku over Kane, they will under perform at home and wanted the pitch made smaller but the FA refused them.

    Davies owner, put Naughton second on bench as thought Swansea were gonna get smashed, would hurt less if I'd had a better gameweek but swings and roundabouts because others are getting Holebas -2 off the bench, would have made the same decision if given the chance to make it again.

    1. Luca Toni
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have only 10 players playing this week assuming Baily and Lukaku both play..

        I'm sure they will but ouch!

      Of course. These things happen.

        They sure do, still frustrating when they bite you but that's fpl for you

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      Smooth?

      Pogba to Silva because I couldn't afford anyone else.

      Sets me up nicely for the CPL massacre too.

        Nice.

        Think most of us did the same

        Silva on the bench against palace is possible

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Captain Silva.

          90, 90, 90, 90(?)...

          Nailed.

          1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

            I mean he's man city's captain. I won't captain him

    4. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Which combo looks best?
      A) Firmino-Salah-Hegazi-Naughton
      B) Firmino-Ritchie-Mendy-Kolasinac
      C) Abraham-Salah-Mendy-Bellerin
      D) Abraham-Salah-Ritchie-Mendy

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

        B

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino over Salah?

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

          B, But I will rather Walker than Mendy

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Mendy less risk of rotation

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

        B.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino over Salah? That's what I'm having difficulty coping with, but B looks the most well rounded.

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

            I just wouldn't wanna have Abraham.

            1. ★Kuntheman★
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Fair point. Good fixtures coming up but Swansea look dreadful.

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

        B

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Overwhelming B response, it's gonna be hard to drop Salah but that's the most balance one no doubt

    5. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lossl / Elliot
      Alonso / Davies / Jones / Lowton / Mbemba
      Alli / Mkhi / Tadic / Richarlison / Chalobah
      Kane / Lukaku / Chicharito

      £0 ITB, 2 FTs

      Chicharito, Tadic & Richarlison > Joselu, Salah & Loftus Cheek?

      Salah & Joselu look to outscore Chicharito & Tadic by a country mile, and Loftus Cheek would rotate quite well with my Burnley defender, and he looks threatening. Just feels inflexible going with 2 4.5ers in the middle. And I maybe want Ritchie over Joselu.

      Thoughts guys?

    6. Carpe Diem

      6 years, 7 months ago

      You think you've had it rough? Strap in and listen to my tale of woe.

      Owned Jesus for the first two GWs. Two 1 pointers, had enough when he was subbed off at half time at Everton after a poor display. Thought he'd lose favor with Guardiola. Aguero was looking sharp in that game, got into some great positions. Got him in for Jesus for a -4.

      GW3, Aguero got benched, Jesus started and scored.

      With Kane (4 pts in 3) back then and Aguero stinking up my side, I wildcarded to get Aguero out. Wouldn't you know it, he has 4 goals and 2 assists in 2 games since.

      Kane then decides to score two braces in a row, and I scramble and suck it up to take a -4 to bring him as my captain for this GW.

        Be more patient.

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 7 months ago

          So you'll sit tight for this week then? Keep calm and keep Kane C

          1. Carpe Diem
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yes, I'm standing tight now. Not going anywhere near City despite the hype after this massacre.

        • Luca Toni
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Jesus was subbed in that game because of Red Card rather than poor display .. this small info would have saved lots of bad tales for you .

          1. Carpe Diem
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I was watching that game on MNF, he was having a shocker. Was subbed off for Sterling, another attacking player.

        Is it madness to sell Lukaku for a hit?

          Ask Andy how he feels.

        3. Toby Lerone
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          a hit for who?

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

          Yes.

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

          hard to say. They away at Southamptn and Aguero will have the armband. His capt score could make 4 points look like chicken feed

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

          But he has not played yet so yes would be madness to do now.

        7. Soapy
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yep. Saints didn't look very solid today

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

          I Got rid of him after the PK Miss, I Havent looked back since.

            • 13 Years

            That the other thing, is he even on penalties?

      5. Deicide
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        So:

        Pogba to Silva or
        Pogba to Grob and Firminho to Aguero/Gjesus?

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I'd go for Atsu or maybe Brady.

          Gross was lucky. Brighton look poor in attack. Just my two cents.

          But definitely Pogba to one of them and Aguero

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

          Atsu and Kun.

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

          Thanks guys

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

          Brady and Jesus. Forget today's pts, 1 Jesus is better value 2 Is a Confirmed Starter 3 He will Respond to Aguero's Goals sooner rather than later

      6. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Brady owners happy to keep with him?

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Well he got an assist. So he can survive a couple weeks. Atsu and Gross look like replacements if he starts to flunk it.

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

          Yes

        3. Big P
          • 6 Years

          Naughty fixture up next..

        4. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years

          Yes, great value for a 5.5m mid

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

          yeah.. I'm keeping. At least 3 more weeks.

      7. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Knee-strap didn't hold, how about this to try to cover todays City points before WC'ing GW7 otr GW8:

        A) Firmino + Atsu -> Aguero + RLC
        or
        B) Firmino + Alliu -> Agüero + Silva(Mkhi?)

        yes I know, but still tempted

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I would for sure. Something up with Alli and Firmino not even a proper striker

          1. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            for a -4 , forgot to say. Ofc there's the option to activate WC later in the week
            Would you go Silva or Mkhi - or someone else like Ramsey or Gross?

      8. El Putin de Aguadas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why they didn't gave Tadic the assist today? it was a clear rebound

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

          It was a cross

            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            i tough it was an attempt of goal

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

              If it was shot it would have been an asisst - I've not seen it back and think there was some speculation but FPL deemed it a cross.

            2. TorresMagic™

              • 14 Years

              Nah, off target if the case.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why do people keep saying City have better fixtures than United?

        City's next two: CRY che
        United's next two: sou CRY

        Lukaku has better fixtures than Aguero. It's only after these two weeks that the fixtures turn ugly for Lukaku.

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

          Why would they be only looking at two fixtures?

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Why not? If you want Aguero, get him after these 2 weeks. Why get him when he has worse fixtures?

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

              Aguero's a better player than Lukaku. I agree that those two fixtures favour Man Utd but I still fancy Aguero will score more if Pep doesn't hold him back

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                We've known this fact all season yet you come up with it just because he scored a hattie

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

                  You are a moron. Aguero has been better than Lukaku for a long time.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 7 months ago

            But why arbitrarily cut it off at two gameweeks

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                6 years, 7 months ago

                I get your point though as the transfers they are making are for the immediate future

              • Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Because people are making the transfer now. When they should be thinking about doing it after 2 weeks

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    6 years, 7 months ago

                    Well in that case what they should do is transfer in aguero for lukaku when he has palace at home then reverse it for lukaku who has palace and then back to aguero again

                    1. Cok3y5murf
                      • 7 Years
                      6 years, 7 months ago

                      Lol. You just can't use FTs like that. You get just 35 a season. Plus you will always have something else to do in your team that week. Can't pre-plan them like that.

                      1. @persecuted_by_mods
                          6 years, 7 months ago

                          Well you have your answer why people are making the move now then, Aguero is the better player and they might have other fires to put out in two weeks time

                    Look at it after those two then. Why set yourself up for lower points for the next two?

                  I think people are afraid of Missing out on Agueros (C) potential next week.. I have Kane Morata and firminho for next week.. none of Them are looking like a solid captain option

                    Kane is a very good C option next week

                Aguero and 5m midfielder (probably RLC and save 0,5m. Rotate Carroll and RLC)

                OR

                Jesus and 6m mid (Gross or Mooy probably)

                Thanks

                You just know the way this season's been going MCI-CPL will end up a 0-0.

                  Pep will drop one of Jesus or Kun imo

                WC has to be played imo. Team looks good on paper but when the points roll in I always end up with a red arrow, and I can't deal with it anymore. I know I'm better than a 2.2m rank and it's just not good enough..

                Here's the team:

                Foster / Myhill
                Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
                Eriksen Alli Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
                Kane Lukaku Abraham

                My TV is also so low that I'm going sub 100m TV. Another 2 drops tonight if I don't WC

                Thoughts?

                  Not too bad a team in my opinion. If you're not hit averse you can fix it with 4 or 5 transfers taking two every gameweek. Just my opinion I could be wrong. Also last season's fpl champ is languishing in 2.6 m so take heart. Still early and it's so easy to be in the top 100 k after just 4 or 5 gameweeks.

                    Yes. United's last season's Player of the Season comes in for him, not a bad replacement.
