Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Watford

Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion as Spurs welcome Watford to Wembley in Monday’s 8pm kick-off.

After Mohamed Salah’s rare blank on Saturday, Harry Kane has the chance to shake up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings tonight.

The second top captain pick (17.84%) for this round of fixtures, Kane was handed the armband by 54 of the top 100 managers heading into Gameweek 36.

He was also the most bought player, earning 241,000 new owners, and is again the top transfer in as the north London side prepare for Double Gameweek 37 clashes against West Brom and Newcastle.

Yet his form is hardly prolific, with just a single goal scored over his last six league outings.

By comparison, the Spurs midfield have been far more reliable.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min have both scored four times over the same period, while Dele Alli has netted on three occasions and also supplied a trio of assists.

The Dane is the most captained of that trio, with 84,608 FPL managers backing him with the armband.

Son could be the big differential. Handed the captaincy by just 32,917 FPL managers, the South Korean international has averaged seven points per home match this season.

Furthermore, he served up two goals and an assist in the corresponding fixture with the Hornets last term.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Cristensen hasn't played last 2 since Alonso been unavailable.

    Any chance Conte dropped him for tactical reasons and now Alonso is back, Cristensen might be back too?

            No I don't think so, he's been decent. Though I could have missed something. Conte did say 'mentally tired' or something similar, which doesn't sound great.

    DDG
    Alonso - Smalling - Dunk

    thus - should we discount Morgan as a good dgw option?

    is Mahrez ever going to score any points? should we get rid?

    is triple city and triple spurs the way forward this week??

        I'm leaning towards this. And means I can wait as have the cash. If Willian gets minutes in the Pool game, then starts the Huddersfield game, he could score ok. It sounds as if Mahrez and Leicester just look like they couldn't give a toss.

    What should I do now with this lot? Tight in my cash ML and 8k overall (With Kane (C) and Alli left to play..)

    DDG
    Morgan - Christensen - Naughton
    Mahrez - Alli - Gross - Willian
    Lukaku - Kane - Vardy

    Ryan, Gudmundsson, Tark, Lowton.

    0.0M ITB, 2FT.

    Morgan and Christensen both are rotation objects in GW37.. Christensen might get the Huddersfield game though so probably ok to keep?

    A: Jesus, Sterling and 5.1M MID for Lukaku, Gross and Willian.
    B: Jesus, Sterling and Ayew for Lukaku, Vardy and Gross.. Will leave me 1.6M ITB as well.
    C: Other options..?
