Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs West Ham

19 November 2016 1319 comments

A bitterly disappointing Saturday rumbles on with a tea-time encounter at White Hart Lane.

In Fantasy terms, the clash between Spurs and West Ham looks likely to offer little compensation – aside perhaps for a scouting mission on Harry Kane and a potential clean sheet for the 37.7% owners of Kyle Walker. Son Heung-min’s decline as an option continues as he is relegated to the Spurs bench.

West Ham turn up having enjoyed something of a revival and boasting the fading Fantasy asset that is Dimitri Payet. His talents will be monitored, although an evil run of fixtures for Slaven Bilic’s side is likely to temper any enthusiasm in the Frenchman and Michail Antonio; now owned by just 9.2% of FPL managers, he looks likely to start at right wing-back again this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Want to bring in Coutinho but not sure how to fit him in!

    A) Bellerin/Walcott > Cedric/Coutinho (-4)
    B) Walcott/Lukaku > Coutinho/Giroud (-4)
    C) Just sell Bellerin with FT

    Here's my current team:
    Foster
    Amat, McAuley, Alonso
    Hazard, Walcott, Firmino, Siggy
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    Pickford, Capoue, Friend, Bellerin*

    Captain options for gw13
    Kun/Coutinho/Firmino
    Kun is due a big haul but Liverpool could easily get 4 or 5 vs Sunderland
    If Kun isn't a clear captain optio. The. For 13.0 he has to go(he defo is gw14 for Kane anyway)
    So why not now?especially if Kane is going to rise 0.2-0.3

    Walker, Fuchs and Allen bring home a total of 1 point between them.

    Played grant over Pickford.

    17 with a -8

    Up to Brunt to save the week. I have faith.
