Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Watford

4,841 Comments
Share

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

      Considering Salah>Sane for free but getting rid of salah for a hit when you need to get him back for brighton in gw 38 seems silly

    Which move?
    (A) Willian and Gross to Arnautovic and Tadic (-4)
    (B) Willian, Gross and Salah to Fernandinho, Eriksen and Alli (-8)
    (C) Willian, Gross and Alonso to Eriksen, Tadic and Mawson/Danilo (-8)

      Don't think Tadic is going to score. Looks like he prefers to keep that for his home games. And I would prefer Gundogan over Fernandinho so B altough I would want to keep Salah..

      I personally have gone Fernandinho, potential for assists and a goal, and at 5.0 seems good value. Don't get rid of Salah

    With Spurs lookng a bit pedestrian and a tough game at the Hawthorns, im having second thoughts abt bringing in Eriksen - which was my plan - and tripling up Spurs attack (already own Alli and Kane).

    Would it be crazy to go for Hazard (two home games, HUD, the 2nd, still very important if they beat Pool in the 1st!) or even Tadic (decebt games and a LOT to play for) instead??

    In short, what do you guys prefer?

    A. Eriksen and Ayew (3 Spurs attack!)
    B. Hazard and Ayew
    C. Tadic and Vardy (or Giroud?)

    Thx!

            I don't think so. Those two can repay in one match let alone 2! They can come off bench and score as well.

            put that up vs waiting for lineup announcements of Willian/Alonso - Now you may need a new pair on standby for that

      I might be playing both and alonso or vertonghen (if i transfer in)
      think playing them and enabling Mahrez + Willian > Sterling,Sane gets you more points than not owning one of them and bringing in a defender.

    A. Salah -> cheap mid (Ritchie/Milivojevic/Fernandinho/Noble...??) (-4)
    B. Salah + Van Dijk -> Arnautovic + Klavan (benched for GW37) (-8)
    C. Salah + Vardy -> Sané + J.Ayew (-8)
