Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      1. JogaSemmedo

        Is that including bonus and points off bench?

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

          Bonus yes. Not certain on autosubs but almost certain it does not include them.

    Who would be your frontline if you were wildcarding now? Can't drop Kane, but no one else really stands out as a must have for now.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Kane Morata

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

      I'm bring Morata for Lukaku to free up cash to upgrade a mid to Salah.

      Do think Morata will be in the goals again very soon.

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Do you think Morata will keep his place? I brought him in for a hit this week but worried after Bats 2 goals.

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

          Yep think he still first choice. Bats surely plays in the league cup, Morata back in the league. Conte needs him to hit form to ensure they compete in the league.

    3. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kane, Lukaku, Kun

      Don't overthink it

    4. Max City
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane and 2 cheap attackers

      Spend the money on players like Coutinho Sane Salah Sanchez Sterling Azpi Otamendi etc.

      1. SUPER MOKH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Or two heavy hitter strikers with likes of Tammy plus those mids

    In one week my team Liverpool and my Fantasy team are done for the season. At least I can watch games for fun now.....

  11. Yozzer

    Who's mark bringing in next week. Think I'll captain him 😉

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Mark FFS or Mark the Virgin?

    2. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      only reasonable, everything mark does we must do surely, regardless of the fact theres an issue with the underlying stats

      1. Yozzer

        Haha yup. Can't beat the sutherns spawn

    whys ben davies not playing has he lost his place now ?

    1. SuperMane Returns

      Salad could sneak in the BAPS

  14. Sim Simma

    Not BDavies coming on

  15. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Stones the most obvious replacement for Davies imo. City will keep getting CS, if we ever struggle to run up the score, Stones will get bonus too.

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

      Have Otamendi already so probably going something cheaper.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Even with Ota??

  16. banskt

    Kane (C) somehow probably saved this gameweek.
    But I am stuck with the following defense: Jones // B. Davies // Evans // Cedric // Wimmer. No FT, No WC but enough in bank.What should I do?

    1. Dokdok666
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Feel ashamed that you made a transfer before the GW ended

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

        I had to move out Mkhitaryan. Dead wood.

    2. Viper

      Enjoy your Kane points and don't worry about it 😉

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years

        But what about next week? No one except Cedric got game time this week.

  17. Jafooli

    Sissoko coming on. Easy Liverpool win.

    Please bring Davies on. I need that point 🙁

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years

      Please don't bring Davies on - I want Dunk's 6 off the bench

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Like I want Doucoure's 8 from the bench lol

    160k sold Kane.

    Why would anyone even consider that 😆

      Hindsight is a beautiful thing

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

        Everyone was aware of what he can do. It's not as if he's a random scorer

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

          Has he scored at home yet this season up till now ? God hindsight is annoying

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No idea. Good that the scout pick completely ignored Kane.

      Oh look it's captain hindsight ...... Blanked every single home game probably had something to do with it, 4 blanks, had he had yet another you would be saying who in their right mind kept Kane ....

  20. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years

    one more Kane

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Probably - because I don't need him next week, He's out the week after.

    2. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope

  23. Son is Rising

    For those with Kane but not (c), you can take heart from the fact that only 2 of the top 10 have him!

    Can we open a rant post... :/

  25. Viper
    • 14 Years

    Hopefully Davies stays on the bench so I can get Mee's 1 point off the bench 😉

    1. Mark-O
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn’t make a difference

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Think it was a joke

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      🙂 Ward for me, so same difference.

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

      Baives off the bench at least gives you a chance of attacking returns in addition to 1 point

    4. Max City
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lol

    There must be some forgetful Kane (c) owners who forgot about the early Friday deadline with WHU v BHA

    Last week it was Spurs v Bou.. how lucky those forgetful Kane(c) owners

    1. willl

      Smart to own a player who can score vs. anyone.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        And blank 4 home games in a row

    Has every Spurs goal come from a defensive error?

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      As Alan Hansen says

      You show me a goal, I'll show you a defensive mistake

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It's just come from the LFC defense. That simple.

  30. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I imagine Rose would come on before Davies, he needs game time

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years

      Fingers crossed
