Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

2,799 Comments

Double Gameweek 37 finally comes to an end this evening as Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium at 7.45pm.

After grabbing his side’s second in Sunday’s win over Man United, Harry Kane is now just two goals behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.

Having returned eight goals and three assists in his last seven starts, the Spurs striker has been handed the armband by 5.5% of FPL managers – more than any player in tonight’s encounter.

For Christian Eriksen’s 18% FPL owners, the Double Gameweek serves up one final twist – the Dane drops to the bench tonight after earning eight points against United last weekend.

Elsewhere for the visitors, Dele Alli starts as he looks to arrest a run of one goal in his previous four – the midfielder was transferred out by 56,000 FPL managers ahead of Tottenham’s pair of fixtures.

The hosts’ Jamie Vardy is the eighth most popular armband pick (2.4%) of Double Gameweek 37 on the back of seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Meanwhile, Foxes wide man Marc Albrighton has flourished as a budget asset across that period, producing two goals and five assists in 10 outings under the new man in charge.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    So i'm looking to make my last transfer of the season.

    This is my team:
    Pickford / Caballero
    Davies / Alonso / Yoshida / Gabriel / Holgate
    Ramsey / Sanches / Davis / Eriksen / Hazard
    Gabbiadini / Kane / Jesus

    I'm first in my mini league (41 point lead). And the guy who is chasing me have the following team:

    Cech / Jakupovic
    Bailly / Davies / Yoshida / Aké / Holgate
    Capoue / Özil / Hazard / Sanchez / de Roon
    Costa / Jesus / Kane

    0.1 ITB, and i really don't wanna take a hit. Would love some Liverpool cover, but then I might need to sacrifice Hazard. I'm also clueless who to ditch. Alonso, Hazard, Eriksen, Ramsey, Gabbiadini...

    Any ideas how to close this?

        I'm just afraid that Hazard will run havoc vs Sunderland, and yes he might be rested, but again, they have plenty of time to recover.

          It's a risk, but would be more afraid of having a player that is not nailed at that price

    Obviously happy with the 194 I'm going to end up with, but two 0s from Gabbi and Maguire are especially annoying since I could have easily hit 200 with others.
