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.

          Not a hope if I'm honest. Don't know what corrections could be made for him. Didn't realise -1 bps for every offside! Poop Inzaghi would be on negative bps every week!

            Was offside a fair few times and they will count his header from Son cross as a big chance, (tough header when he was under it, if he had fresh aired the header that would have been -3 bps saved!)

          Tough break. In a few weeks you could still be net up in terms of points. gota roll with it and look to the next set when these things happen. I did Kane and Alonso out and was up and the next week they got 17 and 21! Dann out for a hit last gw was another sore one!

              I think it's part of the genius of the fpl. -4 for additional transfers is pitched about right! Can make or break a gw by sticking or twisting!

              This season has been worse than ever because their is so many options, that tend to score similarly, that it hurts when the popular choice that you don't have does well. Fine margins this season

                Thanks TM. The mod league is looking very exciting. Although I can't help thinking that Mark, Jonty, Andy only captained Lukaku by default.

            Hazard and Lallana out for Alli and Mirallas could be the worst 2FT I've used this season at the moment. Especially Mirallas.

            This feels like one of those "key" weeks when there is 30 to 40 point swings based on a few players going massive and most well owned ones bombing.

            Happy to be on the right side of the Lukaku and no Pool, kept Hazard fence.
