Dugout Discussion – Huddersfield vs Spurs

Gameweek 7 begins at the John Smith’s Stadium as Huddersfield Town bid to continue their encouraging start to life in the top flight against Spurs.

Their chances of success will surely rely on their ability to shackle the key Fantasy asset on show – Harry Kane.

The Spurs striker heads into today’s clash backed by 316,000 new owners, boosted by Sergio Aguero’s untimely accident on Thursday. Indeed, 183,000 managers made the straight swap from the Man City striker to Kane this week.

His current form is almost irresistible. Kane has scored 19 goals in his last nine away appearances for club and country, with 11 goals in his last five Premier League road trips.

While the Terriers have yet to face a striker of his pedigree, they will go into today’s contest with confidence. David Wagner’s defence are organised and have kept four clean sheets from their four Gameweeks so far.

Spurs may need the guile of Christian Eriksen and the added goal threat of Dele Alli to unlock their opponents. Both have been somewhat overshadowed by Kane’s form but remain key Fantasy options with 25.9% and 29.3% ownership respectively.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Even though kane is my VC i still want lukaku to play!

      Same

    2. Sim Simma

      I don't

      Me too. Still feeling confident

        Not for the duration if he’s carrying a knock.

        He’ll be pulled after 60 mins if they’re ahead, if he scores or not. That’s my worry.

        1. JogaSemmedo
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          If he's fit to play he won't just get pulled on 60 mins. Makes no sense.

      Same only 2 goals. Another 2 then I’ll be annoyed ha

      I don't, got Doucare (sp) coming off bench.

    6. Kellz86

      Literally anyone with both Kane and Lukaku should want both to play regardless who captained which. Very possible for both to get big hauls (assuming all this Lukaku knock is just nonsense)

  2. SkeletONv01

    Should have capped Kane, worst GW ever :/

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely the worst possible outcome

    2. L'Aeroplanino

      u should still be happy

    3. Red-United

      so you own Kane yet this is the worst GW ever.
      Prone to exaggeration, aren't we?

      You’ve obviously never had a truly disappointing gw then.

    6. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah this is definitely the worst thing that could happen

  3. Red-United
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Why do I still have Alli?

    I mean, sure he hit the post this game, but he's barely been involved in anything else.

      Bookmarked .. for the lulz when he scores

    Good thing you can COVER Kane's points with Eriksen and Alli.

      No point in posting this. People never learn 😆

    Alli must be the most fouled player in the league, seems every defender hates him

  7. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku(C) and Kane(VC) owners.

    What do we hope? Lukaku injury or no injury because you are getting most likely 2 points from a benchplayer?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku to outscore Kane of course.

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Talking about before the game what do you take now?

        1. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Want him to play. We captained Lukaku for a reason. Just because Kane scored twice doesn't mean we should want Lukaku not to play.

          1. Kellz86

    Only a matter of time before Alli gets in the action here hopefully?

    Not sure what to do with him moving forward.
    Was hoping he would do some damage these last few games.

    Have Eriksen and Kane too (No City or Pool atm).

      Not down to him if people crashed their mind. Lukaku still a great option.

      I think he's out - fake international injury to get him rested during the international break.

    How on earth did they keeper 3 cleanies in 5 games before this?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      played bad teams

    2. Fred54

      Happenstance.

  25. R.C

    What a strike by that HUD striker!

  26. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Kane + Bavies covers Eriksen so might soon go Eriksen > Mane / Coutinho / Salah.

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Epic, I blame you for me choosing Lukaku as captain

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Good. I expect praise when it works out. 😎

  28. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I think the Dembele theory applies to Eriksen not Kane. Eriksen has to drop a lot deeper when Dembele is not in the side. His creativity is missed from central midfield with Dier and Winks.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Meaning Eriksen has to drop very deep to start plays.

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Seriously considering Hegazi > Trippier & Bertrand > Bavies for a 4 pt hit

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Aurier...

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      Lol. Go see a knee specialist.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Aurier will take Trippier's place or at least they will rotate

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        trippier is a better player than Aurier

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier is probably better at attacking.. but Aurier is the better player. Trip can't defend which is kind or a prerequisite for a defender

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            It's obvious Aurier is struggling with the step up from PSG's bench to the premier league. Will take him a long time to adjust to the premier league, and he will be backup to a Trippier, will play when Trips injured or the odd rest.

  30. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Better move here:

    A) Vardy; Erikson
    B) Kane; Chupa-Moteng

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kane is non negotiable
