Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Spurs

Saturday treats us to one final fixture as Man City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the Etihad in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men arrive on the back of six straight wins and with the schedule turning in their favour from next weekend, this evening’s match affords us the chance to get in some early scouting.

Harry Kane earned more transfers in than any player ahead of Gameweek 22 after netting six times in the last four fixtures, yet the Spurs midfield offers equally enticing options.

Christian Eriksen has served up six double-figure hauls in nine, whilst seven goals and an assist in the last five from Dele Alli has seen him match the Dane’s tally of 121 FPL points so far.

A single goal in four underlines Sergio Aguero’s recent toils up top, though with West Ham, Swansea and Bournemouth to follow, the City striker cannot be overlooked.

All eyes are on Gabriel Jesus, though the new boy only makes the bench as Pep Guardiola looks to ease him into his new surrounds after arriving from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras.

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

    Hey guys, some help would be appreciated. 2 FT and 0.8 ITB

    A - Costa > Kane
    B - Costa > Lukaku
    C - Costa > Carroll
    D - Other?

    Options B & C mean I can upgrade Holebas & Amat > McAuley & Jones whereas Option A leaves me skint.

    Heaton - Pickford
    Pieters - Holebas - Amat - Williams - Brunt
    Lallana - Eriksen - Phillips - Stanislas - Sanchez
    Ibra - Giroud - Costa

    Poor weekend so far for me. 23 points with 3 to play including captain Sanchez.

    Anyway, Lovren to Baines a good move?

    Current defence is (Walker - VVD - Lovren - Friend - Amat)

        played well enough but just doesn't seem to be the focus of the City attack. be interesting to see the stats when they're done as all the other attacking players seemed to have as many chances/touches in the box as he did.
        But someone soon is going to get a hiding off City at home.

        I have a decent score now (no gloat) because I moved back to my ownership tactic in a more positive way.

          You're right. Worst buy of the season for me. 2 points against Hull and Watford are disgrace. I knew he was overperforming but I still fell into a trap. I'll just accept the fact that I've made a mistake and continue with Coleman. He can probably match Baines.

            FYI...Watford have a young wing back masonry who may nab his place if he plays well

        Sell Lallana or Hazard for Alli?

        Get Brunt or Rose?

        This is my 8th GW with 2 Saints defenders. I think I'm the third saint in my team. Can I last another 4-6 GWs with their good fixtures? I can't wait to see when I will crack with Brunt the obvious replacement (or Coleman tonight)

            To who? Alonso? Seems a waste of a FT

              Not really. Look at the difference in points. Luiz the least valuable Chelsea defence. Otherwise Bellerin or Walker. Or Kelly to Schlupp!
