Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Spurs

Fantasy Football returns with a bang as we are thrust into the cauldron of a north London derby.

Arsenal face Spurs at the Emirates Stadium, in a match which is dominated by the visitors when it comes to Fantasy interest.

Harry Kane is undoubtedly the main the focus. Backed by an army of two million owners, Kane contested the Gameweek 11 captaincy with Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku.

He faces the Gunners having scored in each of his five derby appearances against them so far, converting a penalty in both matches last season. Kane has also claimed six of his eight goals on his travels this season.

Elsewhere in the Spurs camp, Chrisitan Eriksen and Dele Alli will bid to revive their Fantasy stock after sustained heavy sales leading into today’s deadline.

The pair have suffered from the soaring form from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Manchester City’s midfield contingent. But Eriksen, in particular, takes outstanding form into today’s clash having single-handedly carried Denmark to victory over the Republic of Ireland in their midweek World Cup play-off victory.

For Arsenal, today’s encounter represents a scouting mission, as we assess the merits of Sead Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez, Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey as potential targets for the festive period.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It was crazy to C Kane this week. City are way more better than Leicester than Spurs are Arsenal. I have C Sane, VC Jesus coming up, although this said, I also have Kane and 2nd sub Kola and am 1.2 mil.

        I haven't got many Cs right. This week I thought that just going for the highest priced player on my team was a little too easy of a choice. My trades haven't been too great either. Kept Coutinho last two weeks. Had Hazard since gw5 trying to be clever.

        I haven't got many Cs right. I think there was good merit in staying away from two teams close in the table this week though.

      Your captain could've easily been on the bench.

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Have vc Jesus but yes Sane could come on for ten minutes. I figured one never knows when Arsenal could show up, more than Sane doesn't start when he was rested Wednesday.

      Is English your first language? Serious question.

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, would it be City are better than Leicester much more than Spurs are Arsenal? Seems similar.

    8. evilfish
      • 8 Years

      I must have been crazy to captain someone who has previously always scored against Arsenal. There was probably way more better options in my team.

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think it's redundant the way I used it.

        1. theroadrunner
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Isn't redundant way more better progress for now?

            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            The real issue here is I sound to be bragging. I guess I didn't need to say I have a good C coming up. Lesson learned. I also didn't say this before the match. Before the match, my thinking was not "bad" choice but more like Sane is likely to at least slightly outscore Kane. I thought I softened the blow by saying I played Kane and benched Kola!

    Long way to go still in this game.....

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years

      Agree, Kane could still score.

    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Overthinker around? Thanks so much for inspiring me not to go with Kane on WC. Alli is an issue, yes, but I'd be so annoyed with Harry right now.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Why annoyed? 😛

      Its not like his competitors are doing very well 😀

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Was never going to get Aguero, and I'd have very likely captained Kane if I had him. Instead, armband is on Rom.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Why? Because 12.8 player blanking shit CONSISTENTLY should annoy anyone. But no he is "essential"

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years

      A 9.3 player blanking is okay...

            • 8 Years

            Law of transfer suggests that might be true for this gw. I just got rid of him for Morata after all.

  9. F4L

    Coutinho vs Mane today.

    1. La Roja

      Salah will own’em all

    2. tiger

      No Mane has already moved to Liverpool so they will play on the same side.

  10. Sancidino
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have (K)ane and Davies, and every week I wonder why haven't I sold them yet, but then I think, wow, West Brom next, Kane hat-trick incoming, so I captain him and come back to step number one...

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Davies gotta go. Kane will spite you.

      1. Rover
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly this!Then took a hit to get him in. Got injured. Took a hit to gett him out. Recovered. Took a hit to get him in.

        Honestly, I don't mind another hit to take him out now.

        if you go to bbc sport or sky sports you can see them if you click into each game. Normally better to wait for someone on here to post them all in one comment though and it probably becomes a hot topic. There was a psot here before with all 1500 line ups

      really disappointed about Gomez, presume he'll play midweek and then miss the next one too

      worry is Kun plays midweek now and benched for Huds. Hmmm

      1. Ode
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He's the league's top scorer, he won't get benched twice because of a CL game when they have already qualified

      2. We Will Klopp you

        Will see how Rom looks, hopefully gets just the one goal and can get him next gw. If he looks poor then will just get Morata early
