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.

    I was planning to bring Son in next gw. Too risky now or early sub with Juventus in mind?

      Wait until after FA Cup next weekend. I think most people, myself included, are looking to get rid.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    Please Kane no more.

  10. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    Yes Niasse and Walcott.

    Smash up Palace lads!

  11. Dokdok666

    One thing I don't understand about Spurs; they have one of the best strikers in the world in Kane, yet so many of their players choose to take so many half chances themselves instead of passing to him..?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah, just pass to Kane. Don't have a go yourself.

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      Because they can't afford any other unselfish players.

      Make sure to sell Ramsey to Arnie before Arnie gets injured again.

    Being in work on a Saturday on my own is a terribly unproductive idea.
