Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Bavies owners wish they were trippier owners. Eriksen owners wishing they were Alli owners. Kane owners are Kane owners

      Word.

    2. arndff_

      Nope, mate, Eriksen over Alli all day long.

      I'd rather have Eriksen than Alli. Look at the rest of the season so far

    4. Ha.

      Kane owners wishing they captained.

      Kane captainers wishing he scored more.

    Kane (c) and Alli owner here.

    Little concerned about Davies being benched though, at least Spurs conceded...

      You can get rid of Bavies then.

    Big question is, why did Ritchie get an assist yesterday?

    Defender headed it onto Merino...

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I agree. That was the wrong call IMO. As was Atsu's assist last week.

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

      Because the defender didn't alter Ritchie's intended target. He intended the ball for Merino.

      Eriksens ball was clearly not for Alli

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

        This intention lark is mental. As far as I know, Ritchie just lumped it into the box

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      No need to be a d!ck 🙂

    My defense of Alonso, Kola, Davies and Jones isn't looking so great right now.

    Peoples who think that was an erikson need to deactivate their fantasy team and seek help

      *Eriksen
      *People

      Also missing the word assist.

      No-one thought "that was an erikson" 😉

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years

      what is "an erikson"

  10. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    With the rate that Mignolet messes up simple catches can we really say that wasn't a shot?

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

      haha good point

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      With the rate the centre backs make errors, it was more likely a pass to Matip.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years

      I'd laugh if it wasn't true 🙁

  13. Red Dagger ✪

    Well at least this means Kane will be gone from the Prem in Jan so we won't have to worry about him.....

    Don't have Kane, but I'll still end up on 55+ pts

    Not a disaster at least

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Probably this because I can't afford Otamendi

    I got so many jammy points this gameweek. Azpilicueta. Monreal. Salah.

    It would be unfair if I had Sterling(c), Kane(vc)

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

      ...don't think you can call Salah scoring a goal jammy...he is an attacker.

      The other two, yeah, pretty jammy

    Trippier 34 points in the last 5 GWs. Davies 17 points in the last 5 GWs. Wow.

    Sad day for Fpl when Kane leaves in the summer

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yup Madrid it is. Already said he will look to experiment in future. Just dont want him at PSG for Cavani

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Kane is staying at Spurs until he retires. We will lose delle but it’s ok we will get over it

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Just bcoz he scored against that Liverpool defense?

    The cheeky free hit GW10 theory doesn't sound half bad.. could afford something like this.
