The Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Middlesbrough

4 February 2017 2202 comments

A breathless afternoon delivering goals and points aplenty now turns to White Hart Lane to provide a fitting climax.

A match that could have huge bearing on our Gameweeks, it features Spurs striker Harry Kane burdened by more than 484,000 (11.2%) captains armbands, including 26 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Meanwhile, Dele Alli heads into the clash with Middlesbrough backed by more than 188,000 managers and, following Romelu Lukaku’s devastating haul against Bournemouth, the pressure will be on the pair to deliver for their owners.

Aitor Karanka’s men will be no pushovers: they have allowed just 12 goals in 11 away trips, with only Spurs and Chelsea boasting a superior defensive record away from home.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is it still possible for Lukaku to be given the assist for McCarthy's goal? I know it took a deflection of a defender but the pass was intended for McCarthy.

    I think people are over-dramatizing Pool's form. There on a bad run, but could have easily won today, and with Mane and Cout back fit, they'll start winning soon

          Huge difference when a team gets parked, like united did against hull, or just lose like pool. I'd pick up pool players once they show signs of return to form but until then they are clearly not an option.

          For now...no need to get rid before GW26...you can bench him and Alexis if necessary, you have no MCI to complicate matters.

        My pre-planned Aguero/Rondon > Lukaku/Costa (-4) move is a no brainer now isn't it??
        I have 0.1 to spare and L,C,R are all rising or falling tonight by looks of things...
        Thoughts very much appreciated. (0.5 ITB)

          Replacement for Lallana? Same-ish price or less...thinking Sterling

                I'm content with Siggy - Snoddy has quality, I want to see more of him in the WH team though.

          For managers who are selling Ibrahimovic, who might you captain in GW27?

          Looks the ideal choice.

                It's a risk, he isn't the most explosive + Swansea are not reliable.

            Selling Ibra will bbe a glaring mistake. Great fixture either side of blanks

              Think having Lukaku (and others) in for Ibra will more than make up for having a good game in between the blanks plus having 11.9 on the bench.
