Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Gameweek 18 comes to its conclusion this Wednesday evening as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Mary’s.

Claude Puel’s men seek a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own supporters, with ever-present Virgil van Dijk (13% ownership) the most popular Saints player by some distance in Fantasy Premier League.

After netting twice in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth, Jay Rodriguez retains his role up front and is afforded another chance to play his way into our plans ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Back-to-back home blanks against Hull and Burnley persuaded many to part company with Harry Kane last time out – the Spurs frontman was second only to Diego Costa for transfers out in Gameweek 18. Nonetheless, a big performance could have a big effect in the FPL standings – Kane is the sixth most captained player for this round of fixtures.

His Tottenham team-mate Christian Eriksen also earned significant sales after failing to deliver points against the Clarets, yet both have the underlying numbers to punish those who chose to look elsewhere.

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

    Alonso Lovren Pieters Holebas Chambers
    Sanchez Lallana Sigurdsson Pedro Carrick
    Ibrahimovic Kane Defoe

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    With the Pedro suspension in mind and no bench to speak of this week (Carrick could be rested and Chambers and Pieters have ManUtd and Chelsea away respectively).

    A) Pedro => Phillips
    B) Save the transfer and hope Carrick gets his customary 2 or 3 points
    C) Kane => Costa (still have to play Carrick)
