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

      Spurs cannot get enough players in the box I already pointed this out at the start of the season hence I went Kaku over Kane, they will under perform at home and wanted the pitch made smaller but the FA refused them.

    Davies owner, put Naughton second on bench as thought Swansea were gonna get smashed, would hurt less if I'd had a better gameweek but swings and roundabouts because others are getting Holebas -2 off the bench, would have made the same decision if given the chance to make it again.

    Lossl / Elliot
    Alonso / Davies / Jones / Lowton / Mbemba
    Alli / Mkhi / Tadic / Richarlison / Chalobah
    Kane / Lukaku / Chicharito

    £0 ITB, 2 FTs

    Chicharito, Tadic & Richarlison > Joselu, Salah & Loftus Cheek?

    Salah & Joselu look to outscore Chicharito & Tadic by a country mile, and Loftus Cheek would rotate quite well with my Burnley defender, and he looks threatening. Just feels inflexible going with 2 4.5ers in the middle. And I maybe want Ritchie over Joselu.

    You think you've had it rough? Strap in and listen to my tale of woe.

    Owned Jesus for the first two GWs. Two 1 pointers, had enough when he was subbed off at half time at Everton after a poor display. Thought he'd lose favor with Guardiola. Aguero was looking sharp in that game, got into some great positions. Got him in for Jesus for a -4.

    GW3, Aguero got benched, Jesus started and scored.

    With Kane (4 pts in 3) back then and Aguero stinking up my side, I wildcarded to get Aguero out. Wouldn't you know it, he has 4 goals and 2 assists in 2 games since.

    Kane then decides to score two braces in a row, and I scramble and suck it up to take a -4 to bring him as my captain for this GW.

      Not too bad a team in my opinion. If you're not hit averse you can fix it with 4 or 5 transfers taking two every gameweek. Just my opinion I could be wrong. Also last season's fpl champ is languishing in 2.6 m so take heart. Still early and it's so easy to be in the top 100 k after just 4 or 5 gameweeks.

      Great film. I don't know about being underrated though, rated pretty well on imdb.

      Yes. United's last season's Player of the Season comes in for him, not a bad replacement.
