The Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Middlesbrough

4 February 2017 2202 comments

Share:

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.

      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

        Given the quality of the players I did expect something more than 2 clean sheet points
