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

      Can someone mean anything abourt Rondon vs. Matty Phillips... Rondon more of a goal threat, but im considering phillips as 5th mid, and downgrade attacker to anichebe/diomande... What would you do?

        Then you have to play either Phillips or Anichebe/Diomande every week, unless you go with 4 or more defs.

        Not saying you shouldn't do that.

      Eriksen has had his lot for the season. Every year he threatens to haul with some great stats, goes on a run of double figure scores, then blanks for the next 10 weeks. Why have I fallen into the trap again?

          Thought I'd chase the price rises and he had 2 prime fixtures. He'd been doing a great job for me in my draft league so I'm hoping I haven't jinxed him.

        He's scored more than 10ppg for me during the time I've had him. I'm not complaining about falling into that trap. My only regret: why haven't I captained him.
