Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Spurs

After Arsenal returned to winning ways against Watford at the Emirates, Sunday’s action concludes as Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to head at the Vitality Stadium.

In light of a rare failure for Mohamed Salah at Old Trafford yesterday, all eyes turn to Harry Kane, the number one captain for Gameweek 30 in Fantasy Premier League.

Handed the armband by 27.3% of managers and captained by 62 of the top 100, he’s scored more goals (13) away from home than any player in the top-flight this term.

Furthermore, Kane hit a hat-trick in his only away encounter against the Cherries, back in 2015/16.

Elsewhere for the visitors, interest in Son Heung-min was on the rise after a 16-point haul against Huddersfield last week. Second only to Leroy Sane for transfers in (169,000+) for Gameweek 30, the South Korean starts again and will attempt to improve a run of just one away goal this season.

In defence, though, there’s bad news for Ben Davies’ 24% FPL owners – the Welshman is omitted from today’s squad due to “general fatigue”, ending a run of nine straight league starts. Over 663,000 acquired the left-back over the last four Gameweeks.

For Bournemouth, Josh King starts on the bench after missing most of training this week due to a neck problem.

With a home clash against West Brom as one of only four fixtures in Gameweek 31, interest in the Cherries is bound to escalate if they can deliver today.

      My only thought for selling was rotation risk. He was hard to own through those 1 pt cameos

    Son is killing me.

        Likewise. Watching these Son goals while I own Eriksen has been painful to say the least.

            6 years, 1 month ago

            Worst part is I owned Son for the DGW, sold a while back, rival kept cause he had other transfers to make. Fine margins....

              Same mate but my rival was even more foolish and shipped son to Arnie for a hit. On a another it should have been a kane hatty. Very small margins

              1. TheCurseOfRaheem
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Very true, man. I knew there was a reason I never go for Eriksen. Such a boring player to own and it’s painfully clear when Son and sallie are on it.

                Kane’s injury really turned the knife for Son non owners.

                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  Yup Kane going off meant those two selfish player will gobble the points up and Eriksen becomes a non-asset

    4-1. Centre forward with 2 goals, full backs with a goal & 2 assists.

    Can't wait to see exactly just how many points Kane (c) & Davies got between them 🙂

      Fair play to you. I went for Alli for instead of Son 2 weeks ago, not bad returns though for a potentially poor move.

    30pts if Aurier keeps 2 BAPS with KDB(c), Sterling and Otamendi to go. Things looking up after a poor Saturday.

    20 with Ota and Shaqiri to play... Any worse?

    5 of the top 10 transferred in so far don't play next week!

    6 years, 1 month ago

    F*** off. Sold son 3 weeks back and it looked a decent decision. Luckily it was for mahrez. Could have been worse. Waste of free transfer. Who would have thought Kane would be injured and he would play centrally

  17. Point-one short
    • 7 Years

    60 (-4) all out. Happy days.

      I could make that if sane gets a hat trick

      1. Point-one short

        The way he's playing that could happen.

    King to start next week?

    Worth a place in a gw31 team??

    Thanks

    2. Sedemuda

      • 7 Years

      I would think so. Wouldn't bet against him & Defoe starting.

  26. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?
    Play FH for next week? Team CURRENTLY is:
    DDG Elliot
    VVD* Ota Mee Naughton Bavies
    Salah* Mahrez Walcott* Allen* Gundo
    Kane Firmino* King*

    0FT currently. I know people say GW35 will be a better one to FH for, but especially given how damn unpredictable this season has been FH31 could have its benefits? Will do with my WC 32/33 plan to remove duds like Walcott and Allen.
