Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

    Now it's calmed down a bit

    That Eriksen free kick was technically on target , so shouldn't it be his goal ?

      That's actually a very good question.

        Not for me as a non owner

        But thought the rules were quite clear ?

        Doos, I actually got Eriksen over Alli in pre-season because of some of your arguments for him. I had Alli very early last season when Kane was blanking and really reaped rewards when he just caught fire. Naturally, had Alli in my initial drafts but was 50-50 between him and Alli. Your posts made me go for Eriksen. Thanks!

      That would be Alli assist as well

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

    2. Lady Yaya
      • 6 Years

      I know how you feel, 39 with KDB to go, shocker

    3. Manani
      • 12 Years

    4. Weasel Boy

      36 -4 with 2 to play

    5. GS456
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      50 with KDB to go. Could be worse then

    6. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      57 kdb to go

  3. TheBusDriver

    Wish I bought Eriksen instead of Ali.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking exactly the same.

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nah. Reckon both of them will score similar at the end.

    Kane PPG = 1. Immense value for 12,5mil

    1. Bushido
      • 7 Years

      Loooool

    2. Collie01

      He's nailed though

    3. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      That will rise drastically next week

  6. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Yoshida - Trippier - Fosu Mensa - Mbemba
    Salah - Eriksen - Miki - RLC - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Chicarito

    I'm 1.1m away from this WC. Where would one be able to save cash?

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kane out

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kane > Jesus

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kane->Okazaki

    4. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      One of your Spurs attackers to Arsenal (Ramsey or Lacazette)

    5. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kane>Jesus.

  7. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    The only players in my team to score points (with only KDB to go) have been Lukaku and DDG.. absolute shocker.

  8. Mika-eel
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Brutal Sunday. 6 points from 3 players, captain included. 30 points and KDB left.

    1. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      my best decision was putting Lossl in goal over Foster 🙂 8> 6

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Worse than me. 33 with KDB. WC time?

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure RD, gonna wait until the dust settles. Too angry to think straight.

    FPL dead as everyone wants to check their Alonso points.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Or sell Kane

  10. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Alonso's attacking threat is incredible but Chelsea look poor defensively still.

    1. T C
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I dunno. Own goal from Batshui was pretty woeful but thought they defended really well today, especially when Luiz went forward in DM role, he broke up loads of play.

  11. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Baps?

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Alonso 3 , 2 Eriksen

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, sorry. Should have been more clear.

        Were Luiz close to getting that 1 bap?

  12. T C
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Happy if others ditch Kane so his price can get pushed down, but for large parts of the match today he was the best player on the pitch with a good run of fixtures to come.

    FPL down again

    Anyone actually going to wildcard this week? Or waiting for one more week?

    1. Rash

      Already activated

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Alonso was 11.6% when 2nd goal went in.

  16. diesel001

    Need KDB to go off big time tomorrow.

    1. Lady Yaya
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same here bro

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same, but knowing my luck he will probably get 2p

  17. Cok3y5murf

    FPL dead. Everyone logging in to sell Kane

      Sadly

    2. Deulofail

      It's not casuals. It's just assholes 🙂

  20. Make Arrows Green Again

    Alonso. Never ever bench or sell. Cheers Marcos.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      I'll drink to that!

  21. Pratik
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    In the next one or two weeks, we will be on the Kane bandwagon, kneejerk away 🙂

  22. XabiAlonso

    Mini league leader has alonso and bailey in his rediculously expensive and high scoring defence

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      That's why he is the leader

  23. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Eriksen isn't going to get the goal is he?

    That would be super annoying

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      lol

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Bats headed that in,own goal easily.

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Why would he? Its was a clear OG.

  24. Gubbins94.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Fascinating game. Intriguing tactical battle and suspense throughout. Best game so far this season.

  25. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Selling a player who scores 2 goals is painful to watch

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Why did you sell? No reason to start with Alonso if you sell after the first match and when he did well in the first.
