Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Spurs

After Arsenal returned to winning ways against Watford at the Emirates, Sunday’s action concludes as Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to head at the Vitality Stadium.

In light of a rare failure for Mohamed Salah at Old Trafford yesterday, all eyes turn to Harry Kane, the number one captain for Gameweek 30 in Fantasy Premier League.

Handed the armband by 27.3% of managers and captained by 62 of the top 100, he’s scored more goals (13) away from home than any player in the top-flight this term.

Furthermore, Kane hit a hat-trick in his only away encounter against the Cherries, back in 2015/16.

Elsewhere for the visitors, interest in Son Heung-min was on the rise after a 16-point haul against Huddersfield last week. Second only to Leroy Sane for transfers in (169,000+) for Gameweek 30, the South Korean starts again and will attempt to improve a run of just one away goal this season.

In defence, though, there’s bad news for Ben Davies’ 24% FPL owners – the Welshman is omitted from today’s squad due to “general fatigue”, ending a run of nine straight league starts. Over 663,000 acquired the left-back over the last four Gameweeks.

For Bournemouth, Josh King starts on the bench after missing most of training this week due to a neck problem.

With a home clash against West Brom as one of only four fixtures in Gameweek 31, interest in the Cherries is bound to escalate if they can deliver today.

    Think bringing in coleman for a hit would be worth the risk of a '-2' ?

      If Stoke score 2, it's -3

      It's not a risk of a -2 for a defender. A couple of goals conceded and it's a -3 or more.

      Got to weigh up chances of attacking returns. Everton defending not great.

      I did this week to spread hit over 2. Sold Mawson who got 5 so I'm 3 points down but Coleman should get at least 2 so it's a 1 point gamble on attacking returns or CS.

        That Chelsea spurs game.in gw 32 is a pain. want to load up on players from both these teams for my wc team but then surely my score for that gw won't be great. Any thoughts ? Thanks 🙂

        Ramsey rested again. Swapped out Walcott to Ramsey last week....at least I was half right with Walcott blanking both games....

          You going to keep?

          1. Jayv807
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 18 days ago

            Probably dropping this week as I only have 5 starters at the moment and think Ramsey will be rested frequently while Arsenal survive EL

            no WC or FH either, been a terrible year..

        Are the FH transfers counted at all? I have the feeling they are not, from the looks of what is being traded at fpl statistics

            Ok, this means that non free hitting trading will actually affect price change significantly more

            Fair enough I know I m planning a bit too much 🙂

            Prob most of us if his injury is as we expect

              6 years, 18 days ago

              I haven't read about it is it supposed to be bad ?

        3. George James
          • 9 Years

          Just done a draft without him. Looked bloody lovely

      10. Kermit Special

        Who sold Son because of stupid fears of rotation? haha 0/

        1. Kermit Special
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          At least I got his points last week but that was utterly silly. Kane going off really highlights the terrible season I'm having.

        2. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          He'd scored 5 in past 3 games. Never likely to be benched unless injured.

          1. Kermit Special
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 18 days ago

            Yeah in hindsight. Just thought Lamela could come in since he started 3 matches in a row.

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 18 days ago

              Son is spurs form player, even with kane fit.

              Its only my opinion but got season ticket and I had posted this several times.

      11. DA Minnion (Former great)

          You could end up top 50k yet. If he does really well and 2,950,000 of those with a gw rank better than yours don't own him too. Don't sweat it just yet.

        Must-have players for GW31 (exc. Liverpool)?

        I'm thinking Butland, Shaqiri, Mounie, possibly Mooy

        1. how now brown cow

              Swansea are pretty good at present - although I'll accept Palce are looking better than before and have been unlucky to get nothing from 3 tough games

              I'm clutching at straws I guess

              1. how now brown cow
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 18 days ago

                I'm not saying it's not worth a shout. There's just not many great options.

                Got to be really certain of wc-ing in 32.

                  WC in GW32 is a given - my main rival has already jumped and did WC this week so assume he will FH next week

        2. booshed

          Tosun ?

        3. Rash

          Bournemouth attack is must have

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 18 days ago

            Agree but who particularly - will Wilson keep his place given the lack of goals, or Defoe with lack of fitness, or someone in midfield?

            1. Rash
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 18 days ago

              Stanislas for sure and I'm getting Josh king for old times sake

              1. Earn your Spurs

        • 7 Years

        Mounie and Tosun the best two strikers next week?! besides Firmino obviously

        1. booshed
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          that's what I'm going for atm

            • 7 Years

            why not King or Wilson?

              Do you think Liverpool's top three is essential? Flirting with the idea of swapping Mane for Karius

                Mane has been the best pick recently so why drop him

        I have all my chips left (Wild card, free hit, bench boost & triple captain)

        I know this will depend on DGWs but whats going to be the most likely weeks to use them for maxium benefit?

          DGWs are going to be 34 and 37.
          Blank GWs are 31 and 35.

          I’m looking at King and Ake

          People will laugh at Ake but West Brom are terrible from set pieces and Ake likes to get in the box
