Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

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

    Pochettino thought he's being very clever.... backfired. Davies in such great form.

        Correct. The tempo was so so slow. Dembele was missed hugely as Sissoko is nowhere near good enough.

        I feel it was, because in many ways Son was a hindrance. He is greedy. He doesn't support the front three.
