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

    Zero left in the bank and a shaky defense but the attack is good for me

    Pickford/Jaku
    Baines/Holebas/Galloway/Friend/Love
    Sterling/Sanchez/Antonio/Capoue/Carrick (yes thats right, Carrick)
    Aguero/Lukaku/Zlatan

      I can see the logic behind every pick, which is about as much as you can hope for on a wildcard.

    Hazard Ozil Redmond Lamela Barkley
    Ibra Lukaku Diamonde

    Which is better to get Kun back?

    A- Hazard + Ozil + Diamonde > Capoue + Lallana + Aguero (-4)
    B- Hazard + Ozil + Redmond + Diamonde > Capoue + Mane + 4.4 + Aguero (-8)

      Mane explosiveness does it for me, especially if you are in a H2H league as those swings could win a GW. Firmino more of a consistent 1 goal or 1 assist provider over the long run... I prefer Mane.

      I vote Mane. Always looks so dangerous. I'd double but for Sterling and double mid has gone terribly this year for myself, though that could be irrelevant.

      Firmino will be in the thick of things but Mane looks like he could create something out of nothing, even if Pool are struggling

    Repost, I'm afraid. Would love some advice on this.

    Scraping round for pennies at the back. Need to choose from the following...

    A) Jaku and Pickford, Walker, Lovren
    B) Jaku and Marshall, Walker, Kelly
    C) Jaku and Foster, Valencia, 4.5 (e.g. Evans)

    WBA's fixtures are about to turn and Walker looks like a good pick, so not too keen on C. Just pondering which of A or B is less of a compromise. Currently favouring A.

        That is my debate right now. Diamonde + Capoue enables so, so much, and as a first time buyer of Capoue he will be priced into the next bracket up for me and I won't be worried if he fizzles.

    Opinions on this front 8?
    Hazard Firm Sterling Antonio Leko
    Aguero Lukaku Tekkers.

    Consider doing
    Ozil -> Firm
    Payet -> Antonio
    Costa -> Aguero

    No Arsenal coverage is a little concerning but i feel that's the best way to get Aguero back i can think of.

    Cheers Fellas.

        The problem with B is who to start of Capoue and Deeney. As I think it's a 50/50 then c looks alright, no?
