Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Sunderland

A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

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

        Which midfielder should I buy for maximum 7.5? Already own Antonio.

        Snodgrass and bank the rest?
        Cheeky punt on Walcott, Lallana or Son?

        On wildcard, was hoping to bring Aguero in at last minute as team full of potential double risers.
        Looks like he could rise tommorrow though, so going to have to didch some of these doublers, makes it tricky.
        Also wanted to wait till end of week before deciding on ibra, may not hacpve the luxury now

          In the same boat. I'm guessing getting Aguero in before price rise is more important than speculating on double risers, in case they only turn out to be single risers eh?

          Once I've sold Costa or Ibra for Aguero, there's no buying them back as I've profited 0.2 for both

        Capoue is trolling me.

        My fearsest FPL rival has him, and plays him - I refuse to put him in as my 4th mid (had him on the bench as 1st sub every week so far) and now i'm doing my WC I can't decide whether to keep him as my 5th mid or promote to my 4th and get Fletcher et al in as my 5th.

        What are his underlying stats as I remember them mentioning on the Scoutcast he had scored with literally every shot.

        Thursday night, Ibra was essential, Hazard was a season keeper, United defence was a must, Sterling cannot be trusted, Benteke is the best low-priced forward...
