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

      Yes. Near the end of the week. Also need this and it's frustrating as am on a WC, so means getting rid of Ibra OR Costa for Lukaku in the next few hours, need to make a decision. Would normally get rid of Costa naturally, but that price rise is coming and would be nice. Costa 75/100 and Ibra -30/100 so I think Ibra may drop 0.1m this week as people buy Aguero back and Costa may go up due to points, though unsure...

      will likely end up selling Costa for Lukaku on WC tonight and losing the 0.1m rise.

    This is latest draft of my team. Been trying to find a way to save 1.5 m to bring in Sanchez for Ozil.

    A stick with this
    B go Ozil to Sanchez. If so who should I downgrade to pay for it?

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Baines McAuley Amat Souare
    Ozil Firmino Sterling Antonio Capoue

    Warning bitter post

    My rival , and most of you lot had Lukaku & Sanchez goals where they didn't touch the ball ...a key factor in goals . And a dodgy Ibra (c) assist

    Whereas I had Redmond , Ozil , Mahrez who all missed sitters !

    Still unsure about the Sterling and Antonio picks, but can't find any other mids in their price range doing the business.

    I've bought for now, their price at least means I can easily upgrade/downgrade in the future.
