Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday treats us to a single, but nonetheless crucial, Gameweek 24 fixture as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Mary’s at 4pm.

After Sergio Aguero’s hat-trick at home to Newcastle yesterday, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are looking for a repeat performance from Harry Kane today.

Having put three past the Saints in a 5-2 win in Gameweek 20, the Spurs frontman is the number one captain choice in FPL, handed the armband by 29.3%.

However, the visitors’ potential at both ends of the pitch has been dented by the absence of key duo Hugo Lloris and Christian Eriksen through illness.

Sold by over 96,000 FPL managers last week, the Dane could now be subject to a late-January exodus – Mauricio Pochettino’s men play Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in the subsequent three rounds of fixtures.

Up against a defence that has mustered just a single clean sheet in their last 11 at home, owners of Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min will be optimistic of returns – the pair plundered 15 and 14 points respectively in that recent triumph over the Saints.

In defence, Ben Davies is handed a fourth straight start for only the second time this term, with Danny Rose again missing out due to an ongoing knee complaint.

    Not enough time for a Kane winner now 🙁

  9. diesel001

    60 seconds to go

  10. drughi
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    kane has been losing alot of balls and missing target, will probably not get any bonus points

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Lemela is an idiot

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    do we keep kane or ditch for kun though... or would getting rid of lingard be priority

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Shipping Lingard is not a priority. Huddersfield & Newcastle after Tottenham. After that, maybe.

      I'd still keep Kane, but I have value tied up in him.

    Getting a bit tighter for 3 Kane baps now . Davies getting closer

  14. G-Whizz

    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully (K)ane keeps the 3
    Bonus Points:

    3 - Kane (30)
    2 - Davies (26)
    1 - Ward-Prowse, Hoedt (21)

    1. Jay_

        Could have done with a Davies yc at the end there

      • diesel001

        Lot of dispossessions by Kane?

          Had a shot off target near the end...

      • pundit of punts
        • 11 Years

        A shot off target at the end plus a few dispossesions.

          I'm happy with the 2 BAPS doubled to 4 as captain 🙂

      • 6 Years

      A bit reactive, but Son, Vardy to Sane, Firmino for -4?

      1. MikeDuff
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy just scored

        1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I'm just not convinced. It was a penalty, and he missed a couple of really good chances.

      Perfect result as a Aguero captainer and Kane owner. 😀

      Pretty chuffed.

          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          For making the correct decision? No thank you.

          I've made a few terrible choices this season anyway.

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years

        Salah hasn't played yet and he was a popular captaincy pick.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Many were spooked by the illness scare I'd have guessed.

        2. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Around 20% overall and in the Top 10K. So no not really.

      captain fail

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        So unless your captain gets a Hattie then it’s considered a fail? Ok

    11. Sims

      Kane winning goal baps yet to be added?

      1. Goalosaurus

      2. Own Goal

        There is no reason for you to troll people into thinking you are an idiot.

      FT. Let the Kane out talk begin! If you ain't captaining him over the next 3 he's a complete waste of $$$

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I will captain against Arsenal

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Got rid of him this GW. Now need Salah(c) and Firmino to fire against Swansea.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        8-9 points from my second forward is nothing to be wasteful about.

      4. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldnt captain Kun either, so thats a waste of 2FTs
