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.

    I'm selling Jesus. No doubt about that. I'm not getting Aguero.

    Got Kane and Lukaku.

    Should I get Morata? Or someone else?

      Morata. Firmino may be a gamble...

      A flesh eating bug ate his achilles.

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Horrific achilles injury, almost lost his foot

    4. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years

      Injury.

      Had a skin graft during the week I think

    5. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Insane infection in his leg that started eating away at his achilles and stuff. He almost had to amputate 😮

    6. Ode

      Word is that Wenger has to sacrifice his blood every week to the god of football to get a another contract

    8. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years

      Eaten

    9. Ask Yourself

      Oh shit

    Giz a pen ref

  6. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Can only assume Wenger’s thinking here is “It’ll be nice to have Lacazette coming on fresh when we’re 4-0 down at half-time”.

    Haha 😀

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's a pretty terrible manager.

  7. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years

    Am I an idiot to take a hit for Kane and cap him?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No.. made sense

    2. Stokelona
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No, if you’re taking a hit you have to captain him

    3. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    RLC wasn't too far off from the Zaha scuffed shot

  9. df34

    Sky bet don’t fancy Kane to score today. They keep price boosting his odds 🙁

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No shit.. happens for every player as time goes by

      1. df34
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        A price boost is when a player is signaled out ( layed, in betting terms) and has their odds boosted above every other player. Of course, as time goes by in a match it is less likely any player will score and all their prices rise. A price boost is a deliberate strategy and Skybet like other firms advertise these price boosts to try and entice you to bet.

    Next easy home game for spurs. Do you captain Kane?

    1. squ1rrel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I will.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      No

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No, any team that parks the bus at Wembely, Spurs really struggle against. Liverpool & Real Madrid attacked at Wembley & paid the consequences

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yep..

    5. Ode
      • 6 Years

      Against a Wba bus? No, i've learned my lesson

  11. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane blank. Just not with it after his injury.

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

      He is finished

  12. Shultan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine the abuse kaku would have gotten if he blanked at home versus bournmouth, Swansea, Burnley, CP!

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

      Lukaku scored against Swansea and Palace

      Has yet to play against Bou and Burnley though

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I second that. But hey lukaku is not essential. He is a troll. He doesn't cost 12.5+ so we can all abuse the shit outta him

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly. Kaku is predictable. Kane is explosive, but unpredictable. He will score a hat-trick against Arsenal next GW

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    Kane captain has failed me so many times this season. FFS

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

      Me too. I am done with him.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Every time for me. I ruined my season with wrong Kane captiancies.

    3. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Seriously whenever I cap him he goes stale & when I sell he scores

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha's finishing makes Salah look like deadly dick.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Did you see Salahs finishing last night? Pure filth

  15. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Don’t think Kane will beat Salah any more.

    Result.

    Do I need to take a hit on my defence to sort it out?
    Jones - ok
    Naughton- Ok
    Davies - Rotation
    Lowe - rotation

  20. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Knowing this season....

    Kane -> Aguero for a hit for next GW?

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

      I'm doing that.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Go ahead.. make the same mistakes as always..

  21. CFC96

    3 goals 3 assists isnt enough for a 9.7m eriksen, definitely getting sane i think, he doesnt stop hauling

      Troll. Unpredictable, but explosive. Lukaku = non-troll. Predictable.

  26. Chirsbom
    • 6 Years

    Chances that Jesus doesn't come on as a sub? Mee's 8pts off the bench would be rather helpful to my rank...
