Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man City

We end a marathon day of football at Wembley Stadium which provides a fitting finale as Tottenham Hotspur host champions elect Manchester City.

But it’s not Pep Guardiola’s City that hold the interest for Fantasy managers, as Harry Kane goes into tonight’s contest as the most signed player ahead for Gameweek 34 (255,000+) and wearing just over a million armbands.

Kane’s recent output has been hampered by injury, though having been awarded a controversial goal at Stoke City in Gameweek 33, he still boasts attacking returns in five of his previous starts.

Christian Eriksen has also proved a big draw ahead of this encounter, claiming 158,000 new owners before today’s deadline to edge ahead in the popularity pecking order in the Spurs midfield.

Son Heung-min may just have slipped down that ladder – he is benched today as Erik Lamela gets the nod. The South Korean will therefore likely start the away fixture with Brighton on Tuesday, though only three of his 12 goals this season have come on the road.

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

    Triple Spurs with Son + Kane + Alli been a resounding success so far 😛

      I got some from Gudmunson ,
      Long and Firmino.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      i'm starting to regret not captaining kevin long 😉

      I almost sold for a hit. Good thing I kept.

    Did Spurs turn it up a notch just before half time, or bar the goal are they still pretty flat?

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Turned it up a couple of notches

  5. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Son bound to come on shortly !

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      please

  6. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Even as a Kane triple captainer, that's an assist

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Even as a virgin, Kane assisted me

  7. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Shaq and Kane assists completely different.

    1. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      100% agree

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

      Stop talking sense on here!

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Every goal is different. But what abt Son's assist agsintt CHE. He never even passed the ball, hit a def and Alli took possession.

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Son shot which was blocked and fell to Alli.. that's the difference

  8. TallestJohn
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Feel like at least this Kane non-assist is consistent with the rules, but Shaqiri was lucky to get his in FPL terms

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Shaqiri would not have got the assist had Diouf had an initial shot but that's not what happened.

    this has been one of the most anti-climactic gws I can remember. people around me with zaha and long to rub it in

  10. balint84

    where is Kane's assist from fantasy?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      In your own fantasy

      1. St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Loooolllllll

        Im a kane captainer though
        🙂

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What assist?

  11. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Do you reckon a referee gets told at half time about all the terrible decisions they’ve made?

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

      Yeah, they go through replays i guess.

  12. Rash
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If eriksen didn't shoot initially before the block then Kane probs gets the assist.. but that didn't happen so hard luck

  13. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane assist or not?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Not

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    4. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Should be according to the rules.

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        😛

    5. Chucky

    18 points from 11 sofar, my seasons hopes will depend on Lukaku (c).

      Haha, so you answered my question below.

  15. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    11 from 6, can anyone top that?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      6 from 11?

  16. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So it's an Eriksen goal, Shaqiri assist then?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. I think they’ll award the goal to McCauley

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      it´s only logical

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

        Until JT claims it

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years

      Yes boy!! Spurs miss Kawhi big time, even without the chef GSW comfortably take this series

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Kawhi’s injury so strange... I also bet on GSW to win the series.

        Love this time of the year!

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah GSW for sure, although the rockets will give them a good game!

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years

      Not atm, but yes!

      1. arndff_

    1. yer old da

      Just a ridiculous comment

        From Bemba?! Never!

    Disaster

  22. Big Ping

    Did Kane get the assist for his goal or not?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have you checked?

  23. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso getting a ban do we think? Just seen highlights and purposefully done Long.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If the ref says he hasn't seen it.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not much you can do about it now.

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I personally hope so. Ditched him for Long (Burnely) this week

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      More than likely.

        I like that sucking up to them at the end. 'I've been supporting your game since 2006, I deserve that assist.' LOL

        1. Evil Greg
          • 14 Years

          I'll try and find the email reply I received off then last time I emailed them shall i?
          Wait...no I can't be bothered.

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

      Don't worry. Lots of us still have Lukaku(c) to come. Last two weeks I have had to rely on Auba(c) to save me. Now it is Kaku's turn.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lukaku might outscore Kane...

      2. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I've got De Gea, Sanchez(tc) and Lukaku. This needs to be huge.

    3. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Look at Naughton's OG today, Niasse was awarded the assist.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wrong

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Apologies, Gueye, not Niasse.

          1. Ramboros
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            That's not a similar situation. Gueye takes a shot on target. He's the Eriksen in that situation, not Kane. The ball is then saved by Fabianski, before the rebound is put into the net by Naughton.

      2. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. But it was an own goal so he didn't score from a second attempt or touch.

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela doesn't offer enough in a game like this. Strange decision by Poch to bench Son.

    5. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think the Kane one should be an assist and the Barnes/Lowton ones shouldn’t. Eriksen had one shot - it was on target and deflected in. Wood had two shots both times

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Eriksen's shot didn't go in

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Why did Gueye get the assist against Swansea? Whats different

          1. Mark
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 17 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            He didn't score the goal.

          2. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not FPL. Besides I haven't see that goal. This case is pretty clear https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/04/14/dugout-discussion-spurs-vs-man-city/?hc_page=11#hc_comment_18009449

      2. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Like I said earlier. Without the pass from Kane, there’s no goal. But for some reason they don’t want to award too many assists..there would be too many fantasy points if they did that!
