Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Watford

Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion as Spurs welcome Watford to Wembley in Monday’s 8pm kick-off.

After Mohamed Salah’s rare blank on Saturday, Harry Kane has the chance to shake up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings tonight.

The second top captain pick (17.84%) for this round of fixtures, Kane was handed the armband by 54 of the top 100 managers heading into Gameweek 36.

He was also the most bought player, earning 241,000 new owners, and is again the top transfer in as the north London side prepare for Double Gameweek 37 clashes against West Brom and Newcastle.

Yet his form is hardly prolific, with just a single goal scored over his last six league outings.

By comparison, the Spurs midfield have been far more reliable.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min have both scored four times over the same period, while Dele Alli has netted on three occasions and also supplied a trio of assists.

The Dane is the most captained of that trio, with 84,608 FPL managers backing him with the armband.

Son could be the big differential. Handed the captaincy by just 32,917 FPL managers, the South Korean international has averaged seven points per home match this season.

Furthermore, he served up two goals and an assist in the corresponding fixture with the Hornets last term.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    A kane blank complicates things.

      Makes next week more exciting tbh. Lots of Kane captainers looking elsewhere. Unless everyone captains Sterling.

    Kane to bag a brace in the second half?

    Pick 1:

    a) Christensen + Barnes > Jayew + Bavies (-4)
    b) Mustafi + Barnes > Jayew + Bavies (-4)
    c) Christensen + Willian + Barnes > Jayew + Pogba + 4.9 defender (-8)

    Any updates on Ayew?

    Can't risk Kane TC after this. Playing it safe now. Would you give it to Matic or Kante?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Matic. Has a worldie in him
      Fletcher for me though

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Fletcher if he had a double would have been a decent shout. In a SGW Kane might cover him.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Just give it to Salah. The less planning and thought you put in seems to be the winning approach.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years

      One half to go

    2. Leaf

      I’d prefer Kane to Salah c

      You got him in this week though right ? so he can't be that bad 🙂

      1. Cok3y5murf

        My post was only about captaining him

  8. C_G

    Salah, Willian, Vardy ----> Sterling, Tadic & Jesus (-4)

    rest of attack

    Son Mahrez Gros

    Kane

    1. ILOVEBAPS

    12 minutes left for Son to do something

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years

      Agree. Always seems in a rush when the Ball comes to him

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      The Son set 3 hours ago though

    Anyone remember when Tottenham player Jermaine Defoe scored five second half goals in one night?

    Harry Kane will want to beat that record tonight 🙂

  12. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Haven’t seen Dier or Dembele ever lose the ball so much. Being dominated by Doucoure and Hughes.

    If Trippier actually swings the ball in a bit more us Kane cappers might have something to cheer

    Pick one

    Vardy/Bailly/Salah -> Jesus / Smalling / Sane
    or
    Vardy/Bailly/Willian -> Jesus / Danilo / Tadic (0.4 left ITB)

  16. Ohhh Shola Ameobi

    Wonder when the English media are going to get over Spurs and start criticising the absolutely woeful performances they've been churning out as of late?

    They've won nothing, don't have the bottle to see things through when they get close to it, and otherwise aren't that inspiring to watch play.

    Kane and Alli have both got away with being very average for much of the season, and both have temperament issues that are never highlighted in sufficient detail.

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      1-0 up...

      1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi

        Oh, sorry, I forgot Watford have been ripping up trees this season.

      Although nothing wrong with Kane’s temperament or attitude

    7. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      What temprament issues does Kane have exactly? Picks up a yellow now and again but every player does. He's a good professional.

        Two examples I can remember of tackles that should have been punished, and highlighted, more than they were.

        Tbh the temperament part was more aimed at Alli.

    8. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years

      Football writers and TV pundits suck up to all the big clubs, not just Spurs.

    10. The Alli Way
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Really short-sighted, Spurs are over-performing (6th highest wage bill and revenue), and have been doing for the last 3 or 4 years. It's a young but well balanced team/squad that will get better year on year. I've been a Spurs fan all my life and can tell you that these have been the best Spurs years that I can remember, we never used to be called a big club.

      • 7 Years

      The beginning of my season started badly as i trusted Kane too much. Since i havent captained him, from about wk 22 I have risen from 250k into top 20k

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I’ve still been rising. Just did that by offloading Salah

    Stream I'm watching just showing clips of Kane from last few seasons, he looks a completely different person. So lively and sharp.

    Come on Kane, get back to your best.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      The whole Spurs performance is flat. They look like they are at the beach and only get sparked into life when Watford has a decent attacking move going.

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        This.

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      For somebody who looks a “completely different person” he's sure scored a lor of goals. Only a superhuman effort from Salah who’s probably the best performing player in Europe right now looks set to deny Kane the Golden Boot.

  23. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    No way I'm TC Kane if he fails to score in the 2nd half.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      He’s just crap in months beginning with A. He’ll be fine tomorrow.

      1. ILOVEBAPS

        It's May here in Austalia. Does that count?

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years

          Yes. Great point. Expect at least a brace.

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

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

      Even if he scores it doesn't change that he has been crap. Won't have an affect on his output in the DGW.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan

      Owning him is the fail however. Could have had Sterling , Sane, Alli, Erikksen

        Only useful with 20-20 hindsight... how did Alli and Sane work out in that recent DGW? If you have TV it’s not a problem either. I have Salah, Sterling and Eriksen and no regrets.

  28. Robman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Kane has been trolling me all season. When I don't captain him, he hauls. When I do, he blanks. When mu rivals captain him, he hauls. When they don't, he blanks. So bloody frustrating. I think next week I'll triple captain Sterling, Sanchez or Jesus. And prepare myself for one last trolling!
