Dugout Discussion

Kane aiming to extend eight-game run without a blank as Rodon starts in defence

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend sees Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur clash at Stamford Bridge.

Kick-off in west London is at 16:30 GMT.

There are no real surprises in terms of team news, with both managers making just one change apiece from the sides they sent out in Gameweek 9.

Frank Lampard’s sole alteration was widely anticipated, with Thiago Silva (£5.5m) replacing Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) at the heart of the Blues’ defence.

The fit-again Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) is back among the substitutes, alongside Kai Havertz (£8.3m).

Jose Mourinho’s only tweak to his line-up was an enforced one and also comes at centre-half, with Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) ruled out with a groin problem.

Premier League rookie Joe Rodon (£5.0m) gets the nod over Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) to partner Eric Dier (£4.9m).

There is plenty of interest in this one from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, with Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) the second and third most-owned players in the game.

Five of Chelsea’s starting XI, including three of their back four, also boast double-digit ownerships, with Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) the most popular option among that quintet.

Kane was, in fact, the most-sold forward of Gameweek 10, with just over 200,000 Fantasy managers offloading the England international despite his impressive run of form: not since the opening weekend has the Spurs striker blanked.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham, Werner.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

    Kane needs to punish sellers

  2. OverTinker

    Come on SON

    Punish the sellers Harry.

      Punish the keepers

    So far, the Podence to Jota, and avoiding Bruno to KDB/Salah this week for a -4 has worked out.

    I see people asking how you can sell Bruno for Salah, just as people were asking how you could sell Son for Salah last week. De Bruyne in that mix too. And then all the more expensive strikers eating up your budget too.

    The reality is that you can't own everyone, so you make your choice based on *something*. And the obvious factor is captaincy. If they're all good options, the ones you will actually captain are more valuable to you.

    Look at the fixtures, decide who the best captain picks are over the coming weeks, prioritise them. If the player you don't own scores, so be it.

      This

      Ah a rational thinker. A rare breed.

    3. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      THIS!!

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Another way to look at it is game time. Kane/Son/Bruno will no doubt get more minutes in the upcoming period than Salah/KDB.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        But salah and KDB will get more points

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't be so sure, but each to their own.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I’m going to have salah, KDB and one of Fernandes or son - can’t have them all

            1. Zimo
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Salah Bruno and one of Son and KDB here

            2. F4L
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              cool, I'm staying with Son, Kane and Bruno and then putting some money defence. It's a great FPL season with so many options.

      Very well said, a breath of fresh air!

    6. Utopsis
      • 4 Years

      That's not how it works on FFS. If you don't moan and label everyone "casuals" you're not doing it right 😉

    7. OverTinker
      • 5 Years

      Very well said

      Ban! Can't have a rational, unemotional poster befouling this forum and ruining it for the rest of us...

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Haha no, I mean that wasn't meant to be serious with him scoring from open play today, no salt at all I took the L already 😛

          1. SH
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

      2. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I enjoyed his 10 points from penalties today

      3. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Soooo salty

      4. Karan14

        Bruno Fernandes has scored 4 non-penalty goals in the Premier League this season, no midfielder has more.

        The penalty merchant is at it again.

  8. Chucky

    Kane and Son to punish owners....

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haha fresh perspective

  9. F4L
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Time for some Kane and Son magic

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This please

  10. SH
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno Fernandes in the Premier League since his debut:

    15 goals [=1st with Salah]
    10 assists [=1st with De Bruyne]

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go as far as to say he's underrated on here, absolute quality

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Let him be! Eyeing up a move to have all three of them

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      but but... he's overperforming

    3. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that united get most penalties :p

  11. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Kane and Son!!!! Need a monster haul from you guys!!!!

  12. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Need a Kane haul but Son blank, unlikely right?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I need the opposite so highly likely you get what you want

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha

  13. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Both managers would love a 0-0 here... no sofa needed for me today

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If we say it enough it might happen!

  14. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Lets see if the casuals get punished finally

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Who are the casuals today Brosstan?

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Who are the casuals, those who have Son and Kane, or those without?

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I kept it open on purpose. This way I can lament about casuals regardless of the outcome of the game.

  15. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chilwell CS and Ziyech G please!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Zouma and Ziyech goals!

    2. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd take that.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes yes yes!

    4. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 FT 0 ITB

    Martinez (Forster)

    Chilwell Cancelo Coufal KWP Kilman
    Grealish Ziyech KDB Bruno (Riedewald)
    DCL Bamford Vardy

    Early thoughts are I need some Liverpool coverage in there, perhaps Jota as I can't see an easy way to get Salah in there. Don't want to lose a FT, any advice? Thanks.

  20. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno not in baps wtf?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        How the fck did Bednarek get in front of him with a goal and no cs and Bruno got a goal and assist

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          He missed a few good chances 🙁

          Could’ve easily been a 20 pointer

        2. DandyDon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          He was on -2 bps at HT. had a bit of a shocking first half for him.

        3. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

  24. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    1-1 with Chilwell own goal and rebound from Kante would be beautiful.

  25. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno and Salah Hokey Cokey is on !!!

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah getting Covid and thus making me get Fernandes is about +30 points so far 🙂

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Same!!

  26. Davros
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I have ended up with 4 players in this match... chilwell, zouma, ziyech, Kane...
    Don’t know what I want. Will probably get 8 pts!

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    2. DandyDon

    3. Pukki Blinders
