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.

    London derby, away from home, lunch time kick off.

    Sell at your own peril!

      Kane is off my team.. i don't care if Spurs score 10 goals against Arsenal, he's not worth the price if Murray is outscoring him

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You probably would care if they scored 10 though

    19 points with 5 to go. Probably out of LMS. What a week...

    1. A.J.
      • 8 Years

      13 from 6. (c) played and Jesus benched.

  3. Yellin' in my Ear

    As a Davies and Jesus owner, please bring Ben on, sure it'll be beneficial for my rank rather than my RLC replacement...

    Does anyone know what the point of Christian Eriksen is?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      he is only there to show off his bald patch

    Delighted seeing that teamsheet after listening to the Jesus owners all week. Aguero is the best no 9 and was definitely going to play home to Arsenal. Jesus Sterling or Sane were always going to flank him. Was convinced of it all week and happy to see Pep thinks the same

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

      Yer they wouldn't listen .

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I honestly thought it was Sanes turn to rest but Pep obv believes his form is too good to drop so Jesus makes way

  6. Speédy

    Son wastes Eriksen assist

  7. FPL ZB

    Kane never gets 6 points, it’s eiger 2 or 13

  8. Rik Waller

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Son the most annoying player to watch in the prem?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic ?

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Davies coming on?

  10. Rover
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    The smart people (not me sadly) would have skipped this GW and got Kane in over the IB with Arsenal, Leicester and Watford away in the next 4 GWs

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

      That is my plan.

    2. tiger

      smart people are so annoying...

  11. HuttonDressedasLahm

    WBA and STK in the next 4 weeks

    Anyone going to not captain Kane for those?

    1. President Giggs
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I will for Stoke, probably not for WBA

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

      Probably not for those two. But it's all about the other 2 games: Leicester and Watford

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

      Probably only when he plays away...

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not West Brom doing kaku vs Brighton instead now

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku better fixtures the next two. Will captain Kane vs Stoke.

    6. Steinburg FC
      • 9 Years

    Expexting a big performance by Sanchez today. Hopefully he ends City's unbeaten run

    Son doesn't look very confident with 1 v ones.

  15. Differentiator

    Eriksen assist denied...

  16. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

  17. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years

    Piss off Son

  18. Fowler23
    • 8 Years

    Son is so overrated

  19. Ode
    • 6 Years

    Why won't Son just press O

  21. Pariße

    Son got the winner, but will still manage to be the flop of the match.

  22. Syd.

    Top transferred in #FPL player

    GW7: Morata 1 point
    GW8: Kane 2 points
    GW9: Sterling 0 point
    GW10: Aguero 0 points
    GW11: Kane 2 points

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Not capping Salah then.

    2. Rainer

    Palace have defended well and kept Kane quiet, and Spurs clearly struggle to break the teams down that sit back on them and try to counter, hence why they do better away from home.

    I'm not selling Kane, I've yo-yo'd enough already this season. He won't score every week, but the fact that we expect him too tells you just how essential he is.

  24. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't it just as simple as they've been heavily rotating/ dealing with injuries which leads to disjointed performances that come from an unsettled team, especially Vs teams that sit back. If dembele and wanyama both started along with Alli it would be fine

      1. Boom Xhaka-Laca

        Agree

        6 years, 7 months ago

        As a Jesus (and Silva) owner I feel like I'm about to face the firing squad off Sterling, Sane, Aguero. Already looking at a big red, it could be huge.

        Sanchez on audition today vs City
