Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Crystal Palace

A busy Sunday treats us to four fixtures before the final international break of 2017 is upon us.

Up first, we make our way to Wembley as Spurs entertain Crystal Palace in the 12pm kick-off.

With four of the top five squaring up later in the day, all eyes are on Harry Kane against the Eagles.

The Tottenham striker is the number one captain choice for Gameweek 11, selected by 27.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging a brace in four of his last six league outings.

Dele Alli owners are left frustrated, though, as he misses out through a hamstring injury, while at the back, Ben Davies drops to the bench as Danny Rose is handed a first league start of the season.

Still sitting in 20% of FPL sides, Davies looks set for an exodus over the break – he’s failed to start Tottenham’s last four home league encounters at Wembley.

For the visitors, we get another chance to scout Wilfried Zaha as Roy Hodgson’s side prepare for a fine run of fixtures.

The Ivorian international has scored in two of three appearances since being handed a central role up front upon his return from injury.

Over the next six Gameweeks, Palace have four favourable home matches (EVE STO BOU WAT) allied with trips to Brighton and West Brom.

    On a side note, how is it that Davies can’t play two games in ANY week?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He's not Poch.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      He only just came back from playing for Wales..

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

            • 12 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

    Will Smalling keep his spot when Rojo is back?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He won't even keep his place when United return to 4231 for the easier games.

    29' Substitution

    Substitution, Tottenham Hotspur. Ben Davies replaces Christian Eriksen.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Very likely

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Concedes 2 and picks up a yellow, eventually ends up with 0.

  21. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It's gonna take more than one game for us to turn on Harold.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years

  25. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs can't fill out Wembley. Only two clubs in England could for every match at Wembley. Man U and Liverpool.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Give it 10 years and they’ll have plenty of tourists too

    2. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      And Newcastle and Arsenal

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal says hi..

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They set the record the other week (Liverpool game probably)

      80-odd thousand, beating the previous record of 76-odd thousand @ Old Trafford.

      Premier League record.

  26. joersherman

    6 years, 4 months ago

    Davies needs to go. Worth doubling up on Burnley defence? Got ward, may go for mee or tarkowski?

  27. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Ooo Sakho, almost.

    Gazzaniga looks like he dipped his head in a bucket of grease.

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Quite a good looking man though.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        But probably smells like chips.
