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

    My WC has to be played imo. Team looks good on paper but when the points roll in I always end up with a red arrow, and I can't deal with it anymore. I've taken -12 points worth of hits in the last 2 gws and I'm missing some big key players; for example, Salah. I know I'm better than a 2.2m rank and it's just not good enough..

    Here's the team:

    Foster / Myhill
    Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
    Eriksen Alli Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    My TV is also so low that I'm going sub 100m TV. Another 2 drops tonight if I don't WC

    Thoughts on whether to WC or not?

    (Double repost because this is a big decision to make in my FPL team)

      Wouldnt WC at all, I think rather ban being hasty and getting players out as as they blank which a lot are doing be patient. t worked for me with Debruyne and Jesus so just be patient its still early in the season. No need to WC just take out Suttner and Stephens if dont want to loose TV and leave it at that

    Not for the first time that a prem league team has had no plan on how to deal,with a parked,bus.

    The way NOT to deal with it is to keep going backwards and sideways and trying to still create a "good" goal...that's exactly what they want you to do.

    The right way IMHO is to keep,banging the ball into,the box as quickly and as often as possible..even if speculative. Mistakes will happen in the box, they just will, but you have to keep the ball in there.

    That first half by Spurs was really poor...
