Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Crystal Palace

A busy Sunday treats us to four fixtures before the final international break of 2017 is upon us.

Up first, we make our way to Wembley as Spurs entertain Crystal Palace in the 12pm kick-off.

With four of the top five squaring up later in the day, all eyes are on Harry Kane against the Eagles.

The Tottenham striker is the number one captain choice for Gameweek 11, selected by 27.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging a brace in four of his last six league outings.

Dele Alli owners are left frustrated, though, as he misses out through a hamstring injury, while at the back, Ben Davies drops to the bench as Danny Rose is handed a first league start of the season.

Still sitting in 20% of FPL sides, Davies looks set for an exodus over the break – he’s failed to start Tottenham’s last four home league encounters at Wembley.

For the visitors, we get another chance to scout Wilfried Zaha as Roy Hodgson’s side prepare for a fine run of fixtures.

The Ivorian international has scored in two of three appearances since being handed a central role up front upon his return from injury.

Over the next six Gameweeks, Palace have four favourable home matches (EVE STO BOU WAT) allied with trips to Brighton and West Brom.

    Does anyone actually think waiting for Peps lineup is more intense and exiting than actually picking your team and anything else fpl related ?

      The VCs have been better for me this season. I actually must have a very good team, so I’m in the top 100k despite getting the captain wrong week in week out.

  8. Tasty Jerk
    • 12 Years

    Really need to get RLC through the middle more, just not the same impact on when drifting wide.

  9. Cok3y5murf

    Kane 100% blank. Weekend ruined

    Trippier, Davies and Alli showing their importance to Spurs attack

  11. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Son’s looked pretty bad so far.

  12. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Blinding skill from Son

  13. Digital-Real

    Teams sitting deep at Wembley this season causing Spurs problems. Looks like the pattern has continued today.

    I hope we're looking forward to a 1-0 gritty Spurs win, Dier goal, no Kane involvement after being withdrawn at the half...

    Gotta believe alli in the free role opens it up more for Kane. But nobody seems to give crystal palace credit good organization in defense and setup they did bet Chelsea

    1. Chirsbom
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes they did. But that would not have mattered had Spurs played anything like against Real. Got no spunk, speed and have Son ruining things..
