Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The festive fixture list finally draws to its conclusion this evening as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to White Hart Lane at 8pm.

Four of the top seven captains for Gameweek 20 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku – have already found the net earlier in the week.

The remaining three, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane, have it all to do, then, with Costa the most popular of that trio – 11.6% have backed the Spain international, compared to Hazard (4.7%) and Kane’s 2.8%.

Costa, certainly, has been the more impressive of the Chelsea pair on his travels – the Spain international has scored eight away goals compared to Hazard’s two.

Yet the league leaders won’t have it easy – Spurs boast the tightest home defence in the top-flight, with just five goals against in front of their own fans.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been similarly resilient, conceding just one goal in six away matches since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 set-up.

Nonetheless, many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on Kane along with Deli Alli and Christian Eriksen, with the fixtures set to smile kindly on Spurs from Gameweek 21 onwards.

    Kane's passing is terrible in the final third. Giving away so many.

    Does anyone know if you earn BPS towards actual Baps if you draw fouls and yellows from the opponent? I know you get it for actual fouls drawn in the rules, but Hazard deserves credit here as he is getting fouled and yellowed left and right.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Does anyone understand the BAPS formula?

        Touche. I guess i just had a long-winded way of saying wingers like like Hazard, Mane, and company need more Baps when they don't score goals.

  15. Shultan

    Not a good game to have 3 attackers from this match...another red arrow incoming

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      So far - still a half left to go.

  16. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Really don't understand when teams take short corners.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Change the angle of delivery init

  17. gonzalocampos

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Wonder is it a good strategy to have a spurs & chelsea def? Only 13 goals each conceded... #solid

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You're wondering if it's worth having players from the two best defences in the league? I'd say it's worth a shout.

  19. Syd.

    Is Alonso on the pitch?

    Hasn't been mentioned once
