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

    Just as many of you are here, who/what do you think is the most pressing to sort out with 1FT?

    Hennessey | Elliott
    Valencia | Cedric | Dummett | Naughton | Suttner
    KdB | Alli | Mhkitaryan | Ritchie | Carroll
    Lukaku | Jesus | Mounie

    Or, does that call for a WC?

      Definitely not WC worthy. Honestly, this isn't bad at all. I'd be tempted to stick with this, but Ritchie for Richarlison is probably the first move I'd do.

        Team looks good on paper, but no points coming in and the bandwagon trains are leaving. 🙂
        Dummett injured, Valencia blocking money, Ritchie not performing, Mounie derailed, missing Liverpool trio / Kane / Eriksen / Kun.

        1. banskt

          At least I played Hennessey this week.

      Nothing right now. Looks alright. Richarlison is the bandwagon to trust if you want to get rid of Ritchie.

        Thanks. Ritchie or Dummett would get the boot surely.

    My team:
    forster
    daniels dawson betrand
    tadic kdb alli fraser
    Jay Rodriguez Kane Lukaku

    Please share which one is better
    1) fraser>mooy (free transfer)
    2) Jay Rodriguez> chicharito + fraser > $5 or $4.5 mid (-4 hit)

    Thanks

      Tempted to stick with Fraser. Is Mooy really going to score much more than him?

    Do it for Shelvey.

    How am I supposed to choose between watching Spurs vs Chelsea and watching the Vuelta...

    Off-topic: Made a WC team quickly before the match started (even though I'm not WCing)

    Fabianski Elliott
    Kola Bertrand Alonso Trippier Jones
    Eriksen Mhki D.Silva Ramsey Jese
    Kane Chica Quanar

    Ok this team may not be to your personal taste, but I can see the appeal of WCing now if you're unhappy with your team. Quite easy to build something to be very pleased with. Don't even know who to bench besides Quaner haha.

      After a Lukaku hat trick you will want to WC again...

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Doubt it 🙂

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Don't want Jesé and Silva on my bench...

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Jese could be benched for poor fixtures. It's not a WC for one GW only. But the point was about how easy it is to make a satisfying team now that we know more from nearly 2 complete GWs. You could always downgrade Silva to RLC and spend the extra to upgrade Chica, and that could satisfy you, which is my point. Easy.

  9. BALOOO
    • 9 Years

    10 goals and assists between Kane and Eriksen seems reasonable right?

    Better to get chances and miss them, than not get them in the first place.

    Unless you're Welbeck. He'll never score.
