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

    Good afternoon.

    I’m the gent that took Kane out for Morata for a hit, genuinely believing that Morata could out score Kane over the next 5.

    I’m also a Liverpool fan.

      I also took Kane out for Morata, for a hit.

      The other part of my hit was Davies to Jones.

      I feel your pain.

    Wish I'd vice captained Kane rather than kaku, but will take it. Harry has almost doubled my score for the week on his own....

    Story of my season. Captain Kane goes nuts and the rest of my team blank. Hatty incoming

    Time for an Eriksen rest.

  8. Phil Dagger ⭐

    4 goals and nothing for Eriksen... time to say goodbye?

    1. Kun Tozser

      You not watching?

      Jesus look at the rest of the season so far. He scored last week!

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Short term fixtures are pretty rough

    4. Hazz

      If I were not on a WC, I'd say keep. However, since I want Kane, Kun & Morata... I think I might say goodbye.

      Absolutely love the guy & before this match, was looking at shipping Kane. Now, well... no way I can't keep him.

      loool no, that doesn't mean anything, david silva did nothing in a 5-0 win against liverpool then got an 11-point haul 2 weeks in a row.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

    Fffix seems convinced i have an extra point from somewhere

  14. JJO

    Why no Eriksen assist?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Why would it be?

  15. Plant Based FPLer
    • 7 Years

    Before the game, I said Kane didn't look too good ATM. My biggest FPL weakness: don't have to be playing great, just playing BETTER than opposition.

    Where is Jonty?! Not only did he get jammy with the autocaptain, he was talking on the Scoutcast about ditching Kane for Morata.. I'm not sure whether he'll be grateful, gloaty or apologetic on the Scoutcast haha

    Captain Kane would have been ideal - Too much AGUEROOOO for me

    All this Kane and Spurs chat has made us forget about Failminho.

    Why would anyone not captain Kane v one of the worst defences in the league?

      This

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years

      In fairness spurs have a crap record v pool wasn’t worth the armband given that and the possible Wembley factor

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

      Nah it was a total punt that paid off..congrats . He was no better option before than Kaku or Jesus. Just the way it goes but fair play to captainers

  21. Differentiator

    Love seeing non-Spurs supporters screaming Kane's name

    😉

    😮

  22. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mixed emotions, moving armband from Kane to Lukaku before deadline... But captaincy surely not over 100% this GW?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Apply simple logic, you're getting points

    2. King Sheep
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Done the same bud.

  23. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    As an owner of Kane but a non-captainer should i be happy?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Course you should

    2. GlasgowFF
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No. Sad.

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. Depend on your ML but points is points

    4. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Absolutely

    5. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

  27. theBoose
    • 11 Years

    Why oh why did I captain Jesus when I knew Kane would do this..

  28. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Still don't know how I've managed to hit 61 points so far with 9,5 playing players...

  29. Ha.
    • 8 Years

    Eriksen > Hazard?

  30. GlasgowFF
    • 12 Years

    Captained Kane all week then switched to Lukaku following advice on here. From now on I am not taking advice on here.

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good advice
