Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Spurs

1,614 Comments
Share

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.

          Starting and playing for at least 60 mins is alot different than coming on for a jog about on 80mins when the game is over. He is obviously fit but at the same time precautions need to be taken with him.

          What happened could Kun could be early warning signs of care needs to be taken to ensure he doesn't get too fatigued going forward.

    I first tried captaining Kane a few seasons ago and it really boosted my GW rankings, so I kept doing it even when I had better alternatives. I've tried to stop but as the week passes, I forget the pain and I don't think I'll stop until it starts to seriously affect my team value.

        Yeah, not a peep about Bailly in Jose’s presser yesterday. Totally out of the blue.

          Just like Alli and Luiz for me last week. Makes playing this game very difficult...Pisses me off.

      I'll be VERY surprised if he's not, would mean one of Rojo, Lindelof or Jones playing with Smalling. All have doubt over them

        If he is not, he must be injured, no other explanation.

    A good time to ask the question due to changing circumstances.
    Who do I drop?
    (1) Kola
    (2) Ota
    (3) Davies
    Have Daniels and I don't want to bench him every game. Jones (if fit) and/ or
    Burnley def can be brought in.
    Thanks!

    Spurs have won 4 of the last 86 away games to Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea. And yet Arsenal are the team that bottles it against big teams...

      Spurs always get a pass and people believe their manager is the best thing since sliced sausages.

        Agreed. Totally overrated by some people.

    Looking forward to the post match interviews

    Hopefully Wenger gets asked about the offside goal and the goal from the free kick that was not a foul

      He will not have seen those incidents, he's only the manager, watching the match not part of the duties.

    So, any chance of Jones taking another 6 injections and starting given the rumor that Bailly is out.
