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.

    I know it's a while away but serious benching problems next game week

      As you said, its a while away. Lots will happen before then.

    People are being bizarrely impatient with Eriksen! still a half to go and he is the fourth highest scorer in the game!

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This

      1. Mark-O
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        And he hasn’t scored a goal directly from set pieces so chill please!

      You could say this about Aguero vs CP last week, it's pure meltdown if a player doesn't do anything in the first 20min...

      Is it that bizarre? Ever been on here on match day before?

    4. Sepp Blattered

      Eriksen could have had a tap in if Kane passed the ball..

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah - it's a ridiculous level of sensationalism. And even in this game, Eriksen is getting into some very good positions.

    Turns out a goal from a defender doesn't get you as much bonus points as 2 assists from a defender

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      12 to 18. But Trippier was still ahead on bps with one assist.

  4. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Only 2 of top 10 have Kane. One has him captain plus Trippier and Davies. Should be the new leader.

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

      Half way through the first game...

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I wonder how many of those have played triple captain, bench boost etc.already.

    3. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      wow trippier and davies. That's bold.

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks for reminding me where I heard that first.

  5. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Alli gonna drop in price of he doesn't score ffs

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

      Fantasy football scout indeed

  6. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I sense the Man U team announcement will elicit 'scenes' of gargantuan proportions

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

      Yep.. jones, Valencia and Lukaku. #scenes

    2. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mostly relief from Kaku captains with Kane VC, assuming he misses out.

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'd prefer more points thanks

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        a bit of Bench Wonkery - scenes
        I sold Jones for xxxx - scenes
        Lukaku off the bench for 5 minute cameo with Kane VC - scenes

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

      If Lukaku starts on the bench it's going to be a looong 90mins for most people.

  7. Yozzer
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully Jose will see lukaku has two belgium games coming up and realise that they playing decimated team of nobodies again. Playing missford up top.

    Im a bit worried about a Kaku cameo though

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

      I would love a Lukaku cameo, and I own him!

  8. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    So pleased about Aguero and having to bring Kane back in (sorry Kun....get well soon).

  9. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen having less set pieces today doesn’t mean much

    There’s one more match to see if this is still the same tbh

    Xhaka on set pieces in the first match but apparently wasn’t that important eh

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kaku picked up a knock and is a doubt.. great news 😀 a cameo would be perfect..

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Reply fail

  10. F4L

    Finally the real Huddersfield show up. Took long enough

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nonsense they started excellent and got unlucky with the first goal. Knocked the wind from their sails then and they had to attack

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        fair enough, but against the big teams they will get rolled over. Happened all last year in the Championship

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      They play a very high line and conceded tons of goals last season. I knew this was coming.

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed. Happens every year. Mid to lower table end of season.

    4. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Watford 0-6 Man City

      So Watford are unlucky despite improvements from Marco Silva?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        tbh that's got nothing to do with Huds. All Huddersfield have played so far are crap teams who posed little threat

        1. Mark-O
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah no link but it was a reply to Papamoa. Watford’s been slightly lucky recently too

      2. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Watford will finish top 8 fact.

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Fact!! Blimey I'm off to Ladbrokes.

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely, their defence as wide as Kardashian's legs - my favourite line to describe how shambolic that Championship side is.

  11. _Jane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Can see Kane getting two more goals.. My VC so hopefully Lukaku get rested
    or something

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I would actually welcome that as 90% in my league have kaku but only about 35% have Kane

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kaku cameo confirmed

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

    RM WC team - 4, 3, 3:

    Fabianski / Elliott
    Azpi / Ottamendi / Davies / Cedric / Simpson
    Salah / Sterling / Atsu (4.5 / 4.5)
    Kane / Morata / Jesus

    Alternative is to do Vardy and upgrade a mid. Thoughts?

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

      Need more Kane.. even more than you have now

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

        He is in there

    2. IRBOX ⚽

      Where's harry?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years

        Nah I like it lad

    3. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Good team. Extremely template from what i see going around

    4. Hot Fuzz
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      like it, but this wc team gonna change perhaps 407 times in the next 14 days ...right??

    5. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Midfield a bit iffy but I guess you have ample cover with 5 active defenders

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Davies, Eriksen and Kane owner but no cap. Something from Christian would be great.

  14. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who else replaced Aguero with Kane?

    Feel good to sit on the sofa than behind it...

    1. Emmicson
      • 11 Years

      EXACTLY!!!

    2. Business Cat

      Better than sitting in a dutch taxi with no seatbelt at least 😉

    3. JayLegend
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      so true, especially after last week

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Antonio, Alli, Firmino to Sterling, Sané, Morata?

    Would cost me -4.

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    2. Emmicson
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope Unless You like Pep and Rotation. go with one only.

      I like this very much, Ward over Mee for mine but that's just personal preference.

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

        Cheers mate.. ..

        I'm looking at the femania guy from Watford over Simpson too....

    2. weaver93
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nice, I prefer Kiko from Watford to Simpson though..

  17. Clintymints
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ok who took the captaincy of Kane at the last minute?

    Had it on him all week then done some snooping online and figured it was best to captain Lukaku

    Is there a helpline?

    1. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I had the same situation but I put it back to Kane because it felt right.

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I put it back on him last minute.

  20. Sz21

    This team worth WCing?

    Fabianski.
    Kolasinac, Yoshida, Mee.
    Atsu, Alli, Choupo-Moting, Eriksen.
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy.

    Elliot, Jones, Carroll, Mbemba.

      Not at all.

    2. _Jane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No but need more City

    3. MKHIBRADODO

      No, Nice team

    4. weaver93

      Ali to Silva/Mane
      Yosh- Cedric..

  21. diesel001

    6 years, 8 months ago

    The difficulty this season is which premium strikers are the best value. Everyone will say Kane, but if Morata and Lacazette both score only 3 or 4 goals fewer than Kane over a season then they are clearly much better value.

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

      Kane-Morata-Jesus frontline looks best ATM

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      True but we only know this retrospectively, difficult to tell in the heat of the moment.

      FPL plays you, not you play FPL.

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      THIS!

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

      I'm praying for a Lacazette batty tomorrow being a non Kane owner atm! Do think he will break 20 goal barrier if he stays fit, Kane could go through 30 barrier tho at this rate!

  22. Tactical Nuke
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Kane hasn't scored since the 23rd minute! Are we worried?

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

      60% of Kane's hat-tricks goals are scored after the 60th minute.

      1. Tactical Nuke
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I would suggest that stat applies to most hat-tricks

  23. VIRATKOHLI18
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A kane red will be good now!

    1. Mark-O

      Jealousy bites the non owners

    1. Guy Demel

      That’s still using the only source the ESPN tweet. Nobody else has anything new.

    2. Podge

      They probably picked up the damn story here , chill

  24. Gudjohnsen

    Kane (C) good!

    Eriksen and Alli not so good.

    Good game to bring on Llorente early 😉

  26. FER FUSCH AKE

    hands up if you have Kane vc and kaku (c) and wants lukaku to be rested so badly
