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.

    So glad I kept Kun! I feel a haul coming tonight

    Team advice wanted:
    FOSTER HEATON
    BAINES BRUNT HOLEBAS Lovren Amat
    SANCHEZ HAZARD CHADLI Cabaye Walcott
    IBRAHIMOVIC DEENEY Giroud
    2FT 0.0 ITB

    Team value is low because of a lack of transfers (no hits taken this season) and I don't really like the team but it is sitting 3rd in cash mini league only 36 points adrift (OR 73k which should hopefully rise after a decent start).

    The players in bold I want to keep until 2nd WC but I really feel my team is week. Is it time to let Walcott and Amat go (there my only two ever present players from GW1). Considering those 2 to Coleman and T. Davies.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. I need some advice from you experts.

    Thanks in advance 🙂

        Good point. Reading below I realise I should have left it until the GW is finished, apologies.

        Any advice is still appreciated 🙂

      I would wildcard _ I did last week and it's made me loads of extra points. You have too many poor players.

        I need the WC for the inevitable DGW preparation though :-s

        Not that I'm disagreeing about the poor players, my Cabaye call was not my finest hour.
