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.

    Horrific season so far and now my mini-league rivals have my eve fullback differentials and two of my striker picks (Kane, Ibra)...

    Question 1:
    A) Lukaku, Cahill, Siggy in for Ibra, Baines (have Coleman), Lanzini
    B) Lukaku, Morrison, Siggy in for Ibra, Lanzini, Davies
    C) Cahill, Siggy, Lukaku, Costa in for Kane, Ibra, Lanzini, Baines

    Question 2: Which keeper for next gameweek
    A) Heaton (Chel)
    B) Grant (CPL)

      Selling Ibra seems strange at the moment. Hasn't played yet and Watford at home next week. Personally would look at Lanzini to Siggy only.

      Grant the GK next week for me.

        In order to do the Siggy for Lanzini move I would have to swap Ibra for a cheaper striker, if lukaku I have to do the davies move as, or maybe Costa for Ibra and then I can also get siggy for Lanzini

            He might fall 0.2 atleast over the period or maybe 0.3..isnt it better to sell him and profit the 0.2 and acquire him at around 11.4 or 11.5 at a later stage ?

          Yes - will hold Sanchez and Ibra on the bench. GW28 is not going to be full of players to keep for the season at the moment. May change after FA Cup round 5 - but the draw is not conducive to PL teams getting knocked out.
