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

      No I wont, morata more consistent, Aguero will be streaky and is also not a Guaranteed Starter.

      Problem is, it could be Jesus with the hattrick next week and Aguero with 'only' one goal. They may just end up cancelling each other the whole season so getting both may also be an option.

      'Rich' man's version of the 'Aguero v Tevez or get them both' debate few seasons ago.

        Lots of love, but I don't know who to jettison in that front 6 to accommodate them. Potentially Kane -> Aguero but it feels too kneejerky. Tricky one, KDB still seems too much ££ to justify his returns, I'm not sold on Jesus and Silva, but perhaps I'm a bit Kane-blind now and am simply more scared of going without when I'm being more roundly punished in general for sticking with him at present.
