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.

    10. JayLegend
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The worst part is the goal was offside. At least score then leave.

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Blame Begovic. Disgusting Scissor tackle

    11. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Damn. I wanted Kane to blank (non-owner), but not get injured.

    12. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah wins yet again. Always captain Salah

      1. JayLegend

        Accurate.

      Why do we play this game?

    15. Dannyb

      I really hate Alli, one of the most unlikable footballers on the planet in my opinion.

      1. TAT

        Agree!

        Yea, hate him. All round awful person and shite player.

    16. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Kane blank.
        No Aguero.
        Salah Blank.

        Who has everyone captained?

        Went for Mahrez myself. (Don't have Kane or Aguero).

        Very lucky.

          Subtle humble brag

          1. JohnnyMagrinho
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Not really... I mean for Kane to get injured and Aguero to ALSO get injured that's very unlucky.

              Besides, I have neither of those players. My OR is awful this year and it's one of the first slices of luck I've got in a while.

              It's a genuine bloody question because THREE of the most popular, high scoring players on the game have all been poor captains for this week.

              You can look at my team if you want - there's nothing to 'humble brag' about it, save for a pretty good week this week.

              Maybe try not to be too sensitive fella.

            Aguero. Kane Vice.

            1. JohnnyMagrinho
                6 years, 1 month ago

                That's so unlucky.

                Looks like this week is a complete nightmare for most players.

                Think a lot of people will over-invest in GW31 though - and not get rewarded - so all those green arrows have the potential to be turning red very quickly.

            I played without Kane a few GWs. Was thinking about bringing him in this GW, but went for Aubameyang and captained him. Have Mkhy too.

              The only saving grace is the average is probably going to be lower than even next week.
