Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

16 September 2017 3383 comments

Saturday’s action concludes at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Swansea City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

All eyes are on Harry Kane after he scored twice in each of his last two appearances for the north London outfit over the last few days.

Over 20% of FPL managers have handed him the armband this week – second, once again, to Romelu Lukaku’s 30% backers.

Kane was handed the armband by 17 of the top 100 heading into Gameweek 5, while team-mates Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli were selected by nine and seven of that elite group respectively.

All three start along with Heung-Min Son but Mauricio Pochettino sorely disappoints the 345,000+ who drafted in Ben Davies by benching the Welshman against his former side.

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