Can Doherty continue to offer FPL points potential at Spurs?

Nope. I’m WC GW2. There. It has been my strategy since the blank was announced. It’s not the accepted strategy on here *awaits nagativity* lol

How much is he this year?

No, but if you want to do it with Grealish take a one-week punt on Harvey Barnes

My head has been turned by Grealish. I feel like he has a better change of putting 20+ points on his last year total than mitro does at Fulham. He is at the least a compatible option. But at his price point I think I'd be looking at getting in and benching.

It's a call. For sure

Nope and nope.
I ll rather lose some money then pts (so best team for GW1)

No.

Hope that helps.

*ready not reward

It's still decent

It's a great start. Can see them easily averaging 2gpg

Way too optimistic for Everton and Southampton

Everton? Time to get them is gw 4ish they seem seem like a team that needs to settle. Young players like Braithwaithe and Gordon plus Sigurdsson a fading force?

Spurs side in contrast could not be more settled same players in squad for years. Plus team is being slowly Jose'ed Hojberg and Doherty clearly show his plan - power - football intelligence - pace.

Great stat

Bruno is essential anyway. If we are talking about mitigating risk. Guy is averaging +20% ppminute over Salah. Who really wants to f**k with that because of their theories about why he'll drop off

He will be heavily rotated on the left wing, unfortunately due to recent injuries and age creeping up he makes the most impact coming on for the last 30 minutes of games, on the flip side IF he starts he rarely sees is past 60 mins. He can be absolutely explosive when playing though and by far one of our best attackers, just not viable FPL wise really

Dier takes freekicks?

Dier rarely takes free kicks, and is not really that dangerous with them. As a spurs fan I'm not sure who are starting CBs are going to be, but I'm fairly certain that Davies will be our starting LB. I would go for Davies.

Davies is a terrible pick

Why pay 5m for a defender with absolutely no attacking threat

I’m on Dier.
More for his attacking threat on the end of set pieces...

Thanks all, food for thought. Going to go down the Phil Jones route and go for Dier...and immediately take a shower afterwards.

Bank holiday weekend mate.

Background check on any racist comments from the players themselves - and google translate causing doubt?

*Forgot Mitro in frontline

Like it. Not keen on Alli though, big rotation risk. Get a premium forward in there as well

Not sure why you'd give the opposition an advantage by playing 3-4-2 😛

Looks good, I'd have a premium forward but that's just me. Not starting Vinagre against Sheffield United?

I consider both Ings and Jiminez to be premium forwards. Don't see a need to make changes here.
Really not sure on Justin considering the state of Leicester's defence though...

Koulibaly will make a BIG difference to that defence. Time to think again about Man City.

Didn’t even know Mkhitarayan was still at Arsenal?!
What happened with him, I thought him and Auba linked up well together etc

Ake at left back then or?
Laporte Koulibaly is strong.

Upamecano is more talented IMO and a far better signing if someone were to do so.

I like the defence. I do prefer Dallas & Justin to Taylor though.

Strong midfield.

Like the Adams pick.

Prefer Egan & Davies

Werner but both great options. My gut was Ziyech but not anymore

I am Ziyech....need to track news about injury, but i think he is safest option

so the low fee ..

B, not sure Martial can score enough to make up for Ayling and Soucek's fixtures

A but with Dallas.

Would want a Spurs defender though

b

Dier (Davies will rotate some games, and Doherty will not bring same amount pts, as he could in Wolves)

Dier

cheers

I'm having a bit of Doherty.

Better 4.5s than Lascelles

Liverpool double defence not worth it

Alli not nailed

Get a Spurs defender

Like the Adams pick

My opinion is that you are. He's in good short term form, had a brief break. He's fit, he's scoring. He's got fairly favourable fixtures. The team is fairly settled. Doherty should improve them. Kane seems a solid pick

Agreed, but he did score braces against Leicester & Newcastle at the back end of last season - Leicester wasn't a so called 'easy game'

He's been in all my drafts, but I am slightly biased

Monitor on international duty!

Do not reconsider, I’M BACK

This is far from the truth.

I have seen Spurs defenders in 75% in drafts ever-since the game launched

Plenty had Spurs defense before I think, I know I did. Could be wrong of course. Just they had 1 instead of maybe 2

Not true it was a snowball effect sure but even before Doherty arrived people were looking at Davies/Dier. Fixtures great, mourinho second season and form wasn't too shabby end of last season

Spurs defence was everywhere before this - now the discussion is whether to trade up to Doherty

"Until Doherty went to spurs nobody wanted spurs defence"
Complete rubbish. There has been plenty talk of Davies v Dier on here for weeks.

"You didn’t seeing Aurier or dier in anyone’s team"
Wrong with Dier , nobody wanted Aurier because most knew that he was on his bike.

"I don’t think Doherty strengthens them defensively"
Tend to agree.

"I don’t understand the sudden essential status of spurs defence"
Wrong. Don't remember seeing a post stating that Spurs defence is essential. Maybe beneficial.

1 out of 4 . Please try harder.

Well, maybe Doherty is a good player then? Or maybe they’ve been waiting for Auriers replacement?

Draft number 37279 needed 😀

Could work once you trade down Mo and Auba - assume that’s the plan but that defence isn’t for me. Some potentially very expensive cs and Liverpool have been off colour since before lockdown

'once'

If he's a forward in the 6m bracket, I'd get him. If he's a mid, I would be surprised if he's priced in a way that make shim more attractive than others.

Remember voting for him as the player of the World Cup but that was back in 2014.

Obvs has quality and Ancelotti knows him but very wait and see for me.

Even if he "once" was considered one of the best, his stats aren't bad at all afterwards. Just not played as much as he should, which Everton transfer could fix. 6 or under would must likely be a in for me

i think a 7.5 mid would be a fair price, and i'd punt on him for sure since Ancelotti knows how to get the best out of him

Probably around 35. I'm just under 40

I'm at 37 if that helps you

36, including Robbo and Trent

Why is browser in youre team. Is he being sold. Doubt he'll get any min at Liverpool in the legue if not.

Meant to reply above, apologies 🙂

Taylor could be a steal this year at £4.5

all set? Ha! Still 12 days to tinker.

But it looks pretty good. I have 7 of the same players, plus Son instead of Alli

Si-Fi? 🙂

Yes noticed that - it was early in his reign though. Think he didn't trust his defence to sit back and hold a lead for 45 mins. We did sit back after taking lead in games after lockdown probably after having a slight 'preseason' under Jose

Also, anyone watching that documentary and still looking at Dier......yikes (awkward face)
🙂

I think this might get tempered by wildcards

That is not even sarcasm 😀

And Grealish

also 0.5 in the bank

Weak at the back and not keen on Richarlison. There's my thoughts.

Alli could be good but not nailed

Like the front 3

Not sure on double Saints attack - JWP to maybe Pereira?

Get Spurs defence in there

I prefer Dallas to Pieters

Don't like double Saints defence.

Lamptey not good fixtures - prefer Justin

Strong midfield and nice attack

Dier for me

I believe Doherty has been brought in to replace Aurier 🙂

Aurier is off to Italy.

Aurier expected to go Milan

Thanks all, i had heard that but with aurier playing in the friendly last couple of days i thought maybe he is staying.
