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.

    if decided to use FH, should I hit it now?
    Or is there any reason not to - like Lukaku (in my team now) rising tonight? Does it matter?
    Also, for exampl, I want Zaha in my FH team - should I go for him now?

      Yes it does matter because you will have to pay more obviously.

    2. Konig Luther

      it could mean an extra 0.1 for your free hit team

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        you can bring zaha now, get lukaku rise to have 0.1 more and activate tomorrow

        1. LewanGOALski

          can I? Would be great...

            yes... transfer will not count, but i believe you keep the price you got Zaha

    3. Netley Lucas

      Think it's deadline value but tbh I dunno, haven't activated it yet

      Apparently its better to wait and get the rises towards tv.

    i was on FH. I was going to go Eriksen, Long & Christensen...
    Instead I went Son, Lowton & B Davies. A difference of 15 points!!!

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years

      I was going to captain Zaha until I realised I didn't own him

    Is the City title winning game against Swans if United win tomorrow?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Yes I believe so

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      If United drop points against West Brom and Bournemouth (or lose one) its over, but otherwise yes

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      United need to win both matches against WBA and BOU to make Citeh win their match against SWA. Else, Citeh wins even before they play

    When I die, I want Harry Kane to lower me into my grave, so he can let me down one last time.

      Nice.

    Out you go kane

  8. Ady87

    Zanka 11 and Carroll 8 first and second sub. Didn’t play BB and brought in Moses for a one pointer. Also own Daniels, Lowton and Ryan.

    Kill me now.

      nightmare

  9. Qaiss

    6 years, 6 days ago

    Last week Kane didn't deserve that goal at all because it didn't touch him. But how on earth did he not get an assist for that? Didn't Son get an assist 2 weeks ago for something similar?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Erik shot and it got blocked and he scored on the second touch. Similar to Mane today

  10. kempc23
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    But I thought Kane was going to suddenly start outscoring Salah massively, because he was “hungry”?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Did you really expect him to score a hat trick against Man City? I didn't.

    2. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Against City? There's Brighton to come, and future GWs...

      1. kempc23
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        No, I expected him to score more than 1.25 points per game in the last five games. I absolutely dont get the groupthink - why is he suddenly going to start scoring loads more points than Salah, just because he is “hungry”, when he hasnt done all season? (or even come anywhere near)

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Kane will start scoring soon but I agree he's the biggest FPL troll imo. Whenever I've had him this season he's done F all for me. I've missed out on all his goals pretty much.

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Haha. Salah will get another 3-4 before the season is out imo. No way is Kane getting enough

    Can anyone find how many contacts with the ball Harry had tonight?
    Or even better how many passes he had?

    1. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      There was a heat map on the bbc live text which showed six touches in the whole of the second half

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Fewer than Son

        Kane never does anything when I have him either

      2. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        But Salah didn't get the brace, and Kane still blanked. Looks like God shafted you on this one.

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          That's why I said partly, close to a brace but enuf to destroy Kane who I also own 🙁
