Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Gameweek 18 comes to its conclusion this Wednesday evening as Southampton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St Mary’s.

Claude Puel’s men seek a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own supporters, with ever-present Virgil van Dijk (13% ownership) the most popular Saints player by some distance in Fantasy Premier League.

After netting twice in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth, Jay Rodriguez retains his role up front and is afforded another chance to play his way into our plans ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Back-to-back home blanks against Hull and Burnley persuaded many to part company with Harry Kane last time out – the Spurs frontman was second only to Diego Costa for transfers out in Gameweek 18. Nonetheless, a big performance could have a big effect in the FPL standings – Kane is the sixth most captained player for this round of fixtures.

His Tottenham team-mate Christian Eriksen also earned significant sales after failing to deliver points against the Clarets, yet both have the underlying numbers to punish those who chose to look elsewhere.

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

      I'd go Coleman, Baines has pks but not sure he's gonna play even this week. I don't remember the last time he played 3 games in a week. Had him earlier this season when he got injured. He somehow misses the game injured without his coach even telling it on the presser and stays injured for a month, won't go there again. It happened last year, too.

      So Coleman for me.

      in reality Swansea are rubbish so probably best chance of points is a Siggy freekick goal.

    I had a 2 point lead in the FPL cup with no Spurs or Southampton players remaining. Opponent had Kyle Walker left.

    Our teams had both scored the same number of goals and conceded the same number of goals. I was very fortunate to proceed after Walker's 1 point display!

      Now, my opponent in round 2 is a ghost team. He captained Ibrahimovic, but the rest of his team contains the likes of Vardy (banned), Alderwiereld (possibly injured), Drinkwater, and no available subs.

      Should I captain Ibrahimovic as well to match him, as I am fairly confident that the rest of my squad will outscore his.

      Currently have the armband on Sanchez.
