Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

4,447 Comments
Share

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.

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

            No, but against a lesser team at home I would definitely consider.

            He’s like a midfielder but gets an extra point if he scores and an extra 3 for a clean sheet.

    In a dilemma.. Tempted to wildcard before the price rises (and tweak depending on how Man City game goes tomorrow) and draft is:
    De Gea Elliott
    Alonso Bertrand Hegazi Zanka Mbemba
    Eriksen Pogba Willian Jesé Cork
    Lukaku Aguero Chico

    Bit of an overreaction? Currently this GW made a transfer from KDB to Pogba before the price rise (which wish I'd not done now) and current team is:

    De Gea Elliott
    Bertrand Stephens Hegazi Mee 4m
    Pogba Willian Ramsey Ince Carroll

    Kane Lukaku

    (Elliot, Carroll, Quaner, Mariappa)

    Good to go?

    Danilo and TAA transferred out next gameweek.

    Gotta congratulate myself on my last minute punt by putting Löwe into my team right before the GW1 deadline. Shame I've left my best scoring defender on the bench twice in a row though.

    Richarlison looks an interesting prospect. Shame the fixtures aren't that great.

    For the money though it could be worth it - bit knee jerk though

      Silva has them playing well.

      He's cheap and they look good going forward under Marco

      He looks good. Phillips could be the one at that price with his fixtures. Off the mark with an assist and on some SPs and Corners.

      Risky with those fixtures

        That's what they said about Maguire and Chicharito...

      He is the one I want. But need to do KdB to him so I'll await City game. Would of course allow me to upgrade another mid or more likely(at first) defence.
