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.

    Son is so good, such an irrelevant goal though, sigh

    Palace to score now so that Kane won’t be taken off early

    Thierry Henry just finished from his removal job?

    Come on kane, just one goal my son

    OK, Jesus > Lukaku it is, regardless of hits. The frustration of having a 10M+ player repeatedly benched is up there with captaining Kane at Wembley.

  14. Fanta sea

    6 years, 5 months ago

    That was such a beautiful goal by Son. That placement was superb and the power on the shot matched it.

  15. Make United Great Again

    Kane brace incoming assisted by Eriksen

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wish you are right with the Kane brace. Hell I'd be happy with an assist right now.

  16. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years

    Is Kane playing in midfield today or something

  17. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    with no city mids atm, eriksen to sane just seems like common sense

  18. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    NOT KANE

  19. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    MOTM so far - Gazzaniga

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Eriksen

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        ****Dier, definitely not Eriksen

  20. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Please Coquelin, none of this bs like on Thursday, break up their attacks then no stupid stepovers etc, just pass it on to anyone!

  21. Ginkapo FPL

    I am not sure the floodgates need to open here. Townsend and Zaha have been looking like scoring on their own, no need to open up the Palace defence to help them out.

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed. I also don't think it'll be floodgates. Palace will continue doing the same until 80th min.

    Service from Rose and Aurier isn't up to the standards of Trippier and Davies'

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Rose has been good

  23. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Shouldn't be long now until Davies comes on and scuppers my Mee bench points

    1. Ravager
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      This smh

    2. G-Whizz

      Correct...

  24. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I hope this puts all the speculation to bed..

    'Jesus starts this week cause he didn't start last week, La, La, La, La, La, La and so and so is due a rest'

    Pep will play the team that is best suited to the occasion. Gametime is irrelevant

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Most people predicted today's front 3 correct though, no?

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus started last week.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Rose has been great today. Poor Bavies 🙁

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. Probably their best player.

    2. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Loads of people said he's been rubbish.

      Love this place

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Really? He's been of the only ones surging forward.

      2. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Got in good positions but his final ball has been a bit crap

        Aurier was worse.

        Trippier in for Davies would be the best move from this

  26. Gorbitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What happened to Eriksen.. totally off

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      Mind is on WC play offs.

  27. El-Kloppico

    Eriksen real bad today

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Time for Zaha to earn his money

  29. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years

  30. Les Bleus

    Eriksen’s crosses have been so horrible today

    1. ILOVEBAPS
