Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Arsenal

The Gameweek begins with the headline fixture, as Spurs host Arsenal in the north London derby at Wembley Stadium.

In Fantasy terms, it’s a match that promises to be hugely significant with Harry Kane’s tally likely to prove pivotal.

Once again he is a favoured captain pick, though it’s Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah who proves the most popular choice, ensuring that the outcome of today’s early kick-off could decide our Gameweek fortunes.

Kane’s record in derby matches hints that he could deliver again today – the Gameweek 12 defeat at the Emirates is the only occasion that Kane has failed to score against the Gunners in the Premier League. Meanwhile, the Arsenal defence are without a clean sheet in their last eight Gameweeks.

The team news springs one major surprise, with Aaron Ramsey missing out with a “minor groin problem”.

The Welshman’s 20 points in Gameweek 26 ensured that he was the fourth most bought player ahead of today’s deadline, with over 139,000 acquiring the midfielder. They suffer immediate disappointment and must hope that Manchester City avoid a replay in the FA Cup, or Ramsey will miss out until Gameweek 29.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    This has been an awful match so far

    Nobody can keep the ball

      Final pass from Spurs the worst, Harry starved

      Where's Gary Doherty when you need him?

        Just after looking at the BAPS and thinking it must be bad.

    currently regretting swapping C from Aguero to Kane last minute but i have faith!!! we just need a goal to open up the game...

    Wenger is honestly something else. Ramsey scores a hat-trick and is rewarded with a place on the bench. MORON.

        Not watching game, just going by what my mate has told me. What's wrong with him? Wasn't flagged on FPL last night!?

        All human ain't we, mistakes are made. I deliberately waited until 2am to make my subs last night...

  6. Rainer

    Its the hope and excitement pre-GW that kills you...

  7. FER FUSCH AKE

    so far so good

  8. drughi
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Good intensity first half, goals will come

  9. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you sell for Bauer when the time comes for GW31?

    A) Alonso
    B) Otamendi

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      B as there is rotation now

    3. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ota, Alonso is at least nailed

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not any more now they've bought a LWB.

    4. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      B

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Should've sold Kane 3 weeks ago. He's not at all fixture proof.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      For whom?

      No other good options about

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        hoping an Aguero hattie later provides the answer

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah.. his time is counted with Jesus back in 2 weeks.

    Not impressed by Dele

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Time for him to stick at making home videos.

  12. Brosstan

    I might regret benching Mustafi for Mariappa

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      ... Then you can regret everything...

    Since I became obsessed with FF I now detest international and cup football for the blank weeks they deliver. I miss the days of enjoying football.

    1. Revival

      Same here, hate FA cup weekends do I am at least excited about the championsleague returning this week

    Ramsey injury might be a blessing in disguise for Arsenal. WIlshere better defensively and more creative than Ramsey. Ramsey better at the goalscoring / making late runs, but today is a day for defensive solidity.

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed

    2. KT

      totes

  15. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Toby expected to get a proper run in the reserves first or will he be straight back in next gw?

    Or has he already had a run in the reserves?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Reckon he will start against Juventus midweek in the CL

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That seems like a bit of a baptism of fire after such a long injury layoff.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Played in the FA cup and looked fine. So save him today for the big game.

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Played in the cup game against Newport midweek didn't he?

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Oh right. Didn't realize that.

        Good to know, cheers.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      He played full 90 in cup midweek

      1. FlockofSeagulls

        As above, thanks.

      All other games called off?

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years

        last I checked , wasnt a double gw

      2. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        As good as called off if u have an early ko cap fail. Happened to me last week

  22. LǝgleSs e|even

    Whos the Depay looking dude on BT Sport panel

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years

      Jermaine Jenas

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Ellie Penfold pretty fit

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martin Keown. He's the absolute spit of him isn't he.

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Kieran Gibbs

  23. aborg
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I think Son played the best out of all the top picks this gw.

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      has been in bellerins pocket.though

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bellerin not being a very good defender kinda helped.

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      That's because Bellerin has trouble defending.

  24. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Maybe Arsenal should try and attack this half

    1. Smh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe the linesman shouldn't stop one on ones for non-existent offside?Arsenal have had the best attacking chance of the match.

  25. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Kane will score.

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      against rochdale in the cup

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I hope you’re right but I honestly doubt it.

      He wont if Dier stays on the pitch. Spurs cant move the ball quick enough becausr he is poor

    3. LǝgleSs e|even

    Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

    This game is driving me insane coz yet again I captained in the early kick-off and it rarely pays off. I'm am praying Harry gets a goal or il be sick all weekend. Again.

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Just put (c) on Salah forever

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thats boring. How do you climb the rankings if you captain the same guy as the whole top 10k?

        1. Sailboats
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          You wouldn't be saying this if you captained him last week

            • 7 Years

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Go to overall standings page. In the url replace 1 with 200

    2. tisza

      • 9 Years

      gargatron or anewpla. put your team id and it will tell you how far away from top 10k etc you are.

    Non Kane Captainers just hoping for a goal in the second half? 8 points is my limit. No idea why, just is 😀

    The only thing I'm thinking here is there's been no real clear cut chances.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Rival has his captained so any single figure is fine by me.
