Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Spurs

The first of four remaining Double Gameweek 34 fixtures gets underway at 7.45pm as Brighton welcome Spurs to the Amex Stadium.

After a hugely underwhelming start to his pair of fixtures in Saturday’s home loss to Man City, Harry Kane has the chance to atone against a Seagulls’ defence without a clean sheet in their last 12 attempts.

The Spurs striker was second only to Mohamed Salah by the narrowest of margins (18.28% vs 18.32%) for the armband, while over 71,000+ have played their Triple Captain chip as he looks to chase down the Liverpool winger in the race for the Golden Boot.

Kane starts this evening along with Christian Eriksen, while Son Heung-min returns to the teamsheet after featuring off the bench at the weekend.

Boasting a 17% ownership, the South Korean has four goals and an assist in his last four league starts. Along with another of tonight’s starters, Serge Aurier, he was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win at Wembley when the two sides last met in Gameweek 17.

But Dele Alli owners are left with just a two-point haul from Double Gameweek 34, as the midfielder is left out altogether ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Man United.

Lucas Moura earns a rare start for the visitors out wide, as does Toby Alderweireld in defence, with Davinson Sanchez the man to make way.

They’ll look to rein in the Seagulls’ Glenn Murray, who was on the scoresheet in Saturday’s loss at Crystal Palace.

The veteran is in fine form in front of his own fans, firing five goals in his last six starts at the Amex Stadium.

    Lloris on a save point already.

      Yep. 10-11 pts from him would be consolation prize.

    Kane's showing that WC form alread

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Is he on corners again?

  10. Shultan

    Kanes just not looked right since the injury ..think he came back too soon

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      Ssshhhhh sshultan

    Nice shot from Moura, from range.

    OMG

  13. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years

    Seriously considering Kane > Jesus and getting Salah back

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Thinking about doing the same. Aubameyang Jesus Ayew front line could be way to go

    2. Zebrahimović
      • 8 Years

      Coming soon..Kane Exit III, ‘lost in Brighton’

        Lol

  14. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Two teams of div 3 in French cup semi final can't beat it 🙂

  15. diesel001

    6 years, 11 days ago

    Izquierdo would be a good upgrade on Townsend for Palace IMO

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Apart from Murray (was it even a direct sale?), can't see Brighton selling players to Palace 🙂

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Yep. M23 derby and all that.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Much better option than Gross that's for sure.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        They're different types of players, to be fair.

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      That transfer would go down well..

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Nowt wrong with Townsend, is there?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Not enough end product. Makes less of an impact now then he did a few seasons ago. Not even close to be in the England squad reckoning now.

  16. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Kane just needs one good goal to get his confidence going again

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      It’s not even that, it’s the fact Spurs aren’t even attacking or creating anything. Screw this game.

  17. SB007
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Kane for Tc in 37?

    That’s the template.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Jesus

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Doesnt look promising..

  18. Richd
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Gross swings a dangerous ball into the mixer

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Did Poch mention how much game time Llorente was going to get tonight?

  20. Richd
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    When Kane bags the first before halftime everyone will change their tune. Early days.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They need a goal just to open the game up. Otherwise will be 1-0 game

  21. Salarrivederci
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    With no Alli this can just end 0-0 for all I care.
    (Lloris, Eriksen and GroB owner)

  22. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years

    I'll take cleanie from dunk and Ryan any day, son and Kane can piss off for all I care

  24. Woy of the Wovers

    After a decade of playing this game, I am confident there are points in this game.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      10 years to realise players score points when they play. Bravo.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Generally two points. But 4pts in a DGW.

        Stayed tuned for my top tips. It's a steep learning curve.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      For Brighton defenders?

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah 3 points for the winner or 1 point each for a draw

  25. Differentiator

    This game shows why so many people say Anthony Knockaert is the third best player in the Premier League

      If anything, Knockaert shows how big the gap between the Championship and Premier League is. Was scoring goals for fun in the Championship and barely gets a sniff in the PL.

  29. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I thought Kane was meant to be desperate for goals to get the golden boot.

    What’s his strategy? Let Eriksen score loads and then claim them?!
