Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Sunderland

A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    My question got lost on a previous page. Advice welcome on either:

    A) Hazard, Ozil and Ibra > Sanchez, Snodgrass and Aguero for -4
    B) Hazard and Ibra > Snodgrass and Aguero 2FTs

      For B, why are you set on Snodgrass? There are quite a few options there

        Would want to do the Ozil > Sanchez next week. Means I only have £7.4 and already have Antonio. Who are the other options other than Chadli?

          Gotcha. In that case, if you're decided on Ibra > Aguero, it may be good to only make that transfer this week so you have 2 FT available when you make that swap. Snodgrass is probably expected to score fewer points than Hazard next gameweek.

          Depends on how much you value your team value. Sanchez vs Ozil probably isn't worth a 4 point hit in a given week.

    Front 3 of Ibra, Rondon, Lukaku

    2 FT.

    Rondon would've been the one to go for Aguero, but he has Stoke next. Ibra also has stoke in 2 weeks. Is it suicide to not get Aguero in this week?

      Too much funds in defence, ironically with poor keepers. I'd downgrade the def nad upgrade the mid: a cheaper LIV asset, Sanchez instead of Wally, upgrade Snodgrass maybe if you have funds left.

    Foster / Jakupovic

    Shaw / Stones / Williams / Amat / Friend

    Foster / Jaku
    Stones / Valencia / Amat / Souare / Friend
    Hazard / Firmino / Antonio / Capoue / de Roon
    Aguero / Ibra / Lukaku
    This team is after -4 & 0.0 ITB

    Worth it to WC this team?? Do any other transfers?
