Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man United

A day of goals and points aplenty ends with the main event as Spurs host Manchester United in the final fixture to be played at White Hart Lane.

A momentous day for the club, it’s unfortunate for Spurs and for owners of their key Fantasy assets, that the result is somewhat academic.

While Mauricio Pochettino’s men will look to provide their supporters with a fitting sign-off, they will need to lift themselves following the Gameweek 36 reverse at West Ham and Chelsea’s title-winning triumph that followed.

Fantasy managers will be hoping for a quick revival.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane head into the tea-time kick-off owned by 33.8% and 20% of FPL managers respectively, while Christian Eriksen is still found in 18.6% of squads. Kyle Walker also remains the top owned defender (30.7%), although he again misses out today with Kieran Trippier preferred at right-back.

For Kane, there should be no need for extra motivation. He will not only seek to score the final goal at White Hart Lane, he is still giving chase to both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot. He his currently level with Arsenal’s Chilean on 21 goals, trailing the Everton striker by three.

Kane has seven goals from his last six starts but has yet to score against visitors Manchester United in six attempts.

Jose Mourinho’s side arrive to present another line-up influenced by their Europa League campaign. The United manager makes predictable changes following Thursday’s hard-fought 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo as Wayne Rooney starts, along with Anthony Martial in attack.

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

    Kane might sneak in a BAPS or two, good times for an Eriksen + Kane owner.

      Eriksen 3
      Kane 2

        based on winning goal baps?

          Based on Wanyama's yellow, fouls and Shrek's BAPS score going down towards the dying minutes ..

      Then a couple of days rest, before 10 games at once!

      Too bad most of the games are formalities.

        Such a boring end to the season.

        Not from FPL managers 🙂

          Wrong

          They are yet to be added

        4. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen (31)
      Rooney (30)
      Wanyama (28)

    Bottomed:

    Any news on Gibbs? Chance he'll be ready for Sunderland?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Holding played well and Monreal was good at LWB. Even if fit Gibbs might not be selected.

    2. You Must Be Jokin Ere
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt he'd start even if fit.

  5. Chucky

    No Kane baps.Sweet 😀

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      You sure?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Booo

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Should get at least 1 with winning goal baps

      1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Was Wanyama not the winning goal??

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years

        4. You Must Be Jokin Ere
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          So if it finished 2-0, winning goal was VW's ??
          It's a bit silly, isin't it?

    4. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      They aren't updated yet... Could still get some

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No jinxing this one with that ownership...

      1. Chucky

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I am shocked that fpl towers did not give it to Vert

      Has it been given to Ronney or have they it under reviez?

      1. Ógie

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I have to agree, I'm not in a money league but that ain't right and I feel for you guys man.. That is not a Rooney goal surely?

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm a Vertonghen owner and I'm not complaining 🙂

  7. thomashl

    Haz to Cout next gw, then?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Yep

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. I'll never do an early transfer again in my life, so I'll wait as long as I can

  8. PvA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right in saying the relegation battle is over and the teams in the top 4 race are the only ones who are playing for something?

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      City, Liverpool and Arsenal the only teams in the league playing for something.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Alli to Coutinho then?

  9. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I reckon;

    Eriksen 3
    Kane 2
    Rooney Bavies 1 each

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Or we could just wait and see. Impatient buggers.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Or not

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Replace Davies with Wanyama

  10. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Where is berabinho when I need him? What a victory for our team today.

  11. WVA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone got a worse bb than Pickford 1 point, Gabbi 0 points, Stephens 0 points and Holding 1 point? Couldn't of imagined such a disaster so far.

    1. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 better. Have DDG instead of pickford

    2. Zlatans little helper
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Someone on here said something about bb in gw1 next season, to start the year with a bang. I like that idea. BB during rotation season was never a good idea anyway.

    3. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not much different, but Jaku has no second chance.

      Jaku 0
      Stephens 0
      Gabbi 0
      Yoshida 2

    4. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Right behind you with Pick, Holgate, Gibbs and Anichebe.

  12. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like I'll finish tonight on 92 points with 13 to play. 😀

    This is going better than expected.

    Not settling for anything less than 200. 😛

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

      Good luck

    Come on Mark, you own Kane. Do the right thing.

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I second this notion.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years

        This

  14. liiusions

    Does Janssen get the winning goal baps?

  15. Webbinho
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A cracking 4pts on bench boost. My top 9k rank likely long gone 🙁

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2 points from my BB so far.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      2 points from mine too

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't it top 1k, 5k, 10k .... 😉

  22. WVA

    Please give Kane a BAP, he's my only differential in my league

  23. PvA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks all who recommended me to get rid of Alli instead of Eriksen, I'm a casual these days.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Long way to go.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      Alli has more ownership so you did the right thing

  24. Les Bleus

    Eirksen 3
    Wanyama 2
    Kane, Rooney 1

  25. Sims

    Such a boring end to the season

    In fact the last exciting one was the 2013/14 one when Gerrard slipped up

  26. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane sneaked a bap

  27. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right in saying that the assist for Rooney's goal goes to Mcauley?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      McCauley, by far the luckiest player of the season

  28. PvA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    3 - Eriksen (31)
    2 - Wanyama (28)
    1 - Rooney, Kane (27)

  29. Rainer

    He must of been very close to getting Bavies in so
