Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday brings the curtain down on Gameweek 19 with two more matches before the following round of fixtures gets underway tomorrow.

First up, we make up way to Vicarage Road, where Spurs are looking to take advantage of a Watford defence that’s failed to keep a clean sheet in eight league encounters.

Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli both served up double-figure tallies on their midweek travels in a 4-1 win at Southampton – the Dane now has 10+ points in four of his last six.

With a total of 10 points accrued over the last four fixtures, Harry Kane, meanwhile, is second only to Romelu Lukaku for transfers out this Gameweek as the scramble to acquire Sergio Aguero ahead of City’s clash with Burnley picks up pace.

The Hornets have netted just once in the previous three but with clashes against Stoke, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Burnley in the subsequent five, Walter Mazzarri’s men have a chance to play their way into our plans.

Certainly, the home side will fancy their chances against a defence that’s devoid of suspended pair Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen after both toppled off the Suspension Tightrope last time around.

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

    Annoyingly the past 9 weeks I've seen scores from 48 to 61. Getting a couple of good gw ranks but not when it matters, would much rather have a good gw rank hitting 70 odd than 59! Consistently average is no fun. Currently on 48 with Sanchez this week too! Season high score of 69 with my only good captain choice this season. (Aguero 16)

      48 is better than average this week I'd guess.

    Ppl might still be having doubts about Kane.... But isn't he a proven goalscorer who scores 20+ goals a season? I'd say if u have him stick with him for the long term...

      That's why I captained him this week. He has been off form but still scoring goals. If he hits form he is capable of huge hauls

    Got Costa and ibra and not planning on dropping either. Got no free transfers and not planning to do a hit so will make transfers after deadline.

    I've got Anichebe as 3rd striker but don't know what to do with him, should I:

    A. Keep, bearing in mind I've got smith and Barragan and jones and Allen as rotation risks
    B. Swap to Barnes, and get rid of Siggy for Sterling or Philips to upgrade defense
    C. Swap to benteke and downgrade Siggy to de roon/Fletcher
    D. Swap to rondon and downgrade Siggy to Stanislas or philips(means triple West Brom with nyom)

    Annoying as a Lloris owner, he's got to go I think. But for whom?

    A) Valdes
    B) Heaton
    C) De Gea
    D) Hennessey
    E) Foster

      You definitely don't *need* to use your WC. Easily fixable team over a couple GW's if your prepared to take a couple hits.

      Looks a good team to me. Pickford not really an issue as you can keep playing De Gea. Jones only had a rest because of the fixture congestion. Same with Cedric and Rodriguez. Origi likely to start, especially with Mane off to AFCON and Coutinho not fit. I would say Siggy is the one that needs changing really and then reassess after the FA Cup. Perhaps look at Rondon, Benteke etc. for Origi then.
