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 passing reminds me of Rooney

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney started playing that deep in the end of his Man Utd career.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        well Kane is 28 too

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          27*

  2. LickymyUmtitis69
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy almost as good as Darius Vassell

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell faster than Son. Me surprised

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell is deceptively fast.

      He seems to glide across the pitch.

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

    Surprise surprise, a world class player like Kante has adapted to playing lone CDM very impressively and is bossing it.

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's absolutely bossing it under the radar this game. Its just his positioning, he's just hovering when son or bergywn get the ball, sometimes pressing them but always preventing any further penetration.

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      His best spot. He's a monster and currently the best in the world at that role imo

  5. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well this has been boring

  6. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy not going to score today, is he?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No because that’s tomorrow

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not today, no.

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

      Yeah, he'll score tomorrow

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zero chance

    5. g40steve

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope maybe tomorrow

    8. Says
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can promise you he won't

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

      Def has like 20 already from the training.

    10. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can bet you 1,000 pounds that he will definitely not score today.

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

        Careful - probably sticking them top bins in his back garden

    11. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe the tabloids will have something on him.

    12. gonzalocampos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The hat trick is tomorrow

    13. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      100% won’t, but will tomorrow!

    Joe Rodon shoudld start a podcast, he'd get a few 100k subscribers by accident.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

    2. JJO
      • 11 Years

      1. JBG

  10. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell only 3 assist last season

    I thought it would be more than that

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Injured for most of it

    2. Hawk
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Was injured for a long spell.

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      ok i see

    4. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That was what stopped me from getting him

  11. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Article picture was a sign that Kane was in fly catcher mode. 😕

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be concerned myself if I wasn't paying images rights and didn't have the consent of a party for using a picture with a headline that makes it sound like a direct quote.

  12. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This hasn't been boring imo. Enjoyable in the way a chess match is enjoyable, finely poised and tactical.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't understand tactics enough to enjoy this.

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

        Lol this

        Very informative

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m not sitting around on a Sunday drooling over tactics though

      This is boring as hell

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The amount of your posts I'm surprised you even watch the games...

        1. The Neville Wears Prada
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He doesnt

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

      I saw the kits and said “ah”.
      I think they’d both take a draw.

    4. JJO
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah exactly why chess is watched by biilions and football by few enthusiasts

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I like how Mount has started to stay deep on the left to allow Chilwell to get forwards more.

      Interchangeable balance.

    6. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes not boring - infact very boring

  13. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech totally useless with his right foot?

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah reminds me of mahrez, so obvious he won't go right

  14. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Very Boring

  15. The Neville Wears Prada
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I had 500 pounds burning in my pocket. Put it on the game ending 0-0

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      won't end 0-0. spurs will score 2nd half.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Can’t see it happening so far

      2. The Neville Wears Prada
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Based off?

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Mourinho 1-0 masterclass

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What odds did you get?

      1. The Neville Wears Prada
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        250. So 1750 pay out

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Odds?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        7/1?

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nice - hope it comes in

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Hope it comes in for you!

    5. JOELIO8701
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Fair play to you if you have - solid bet. Hope you win

  16. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech looking no threat whatsoever. Will be moving him on I think.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn’t look good at all

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He hauled this season but the stats aren’t there either, he doesnt shoot or create enough for now.

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech doesn’t look half as attacking anymore

  18. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My god, Spurs are dull. Bus well and truly parked.

  19. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mourinho succeeds in boring viewers again

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This game needs Giroud and Pulisic

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

      Always felt Giroud is better than Tammy.

    2. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      chelsea need to stop playing through the middle and just play wide and get those crosses in... reece james, chilwell and werner keep coming inside which suits spurs and any jose team who soak that up all day long..

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

        James and Ziyech must have tried at least 10 crosses between them, what game you watching?

        1. seanie3
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          same one as you if your watching chelsea v spurs, need to do more of it as too much coming inside and playing through the middle..

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

            I think you'd want a good variety of attacking play between wide and central play - I personally think the balance is fine atm. Can't just cross all the time, we're not Burnley

  21. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech throughball -> Werner in behind will probably be a common theme vs Leeds next week. Just saying!

  22. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    HT zzzzz

  23. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kept Kane and Son, 0-0 confirmed

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yup

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sold both - so they'll both collect in the second half. I wonder who will be right.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Got rid of Son, kept Kane so son will score.

  24. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    there is no way spurs score...

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son on the counter attack.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hope you are right, Chilwell Zouma double up here.

  25. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If this is dull, don't even dare to think what Arsenal - Wolves will be like...

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      0-0 60th min then Jiminez goal

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      With the way this season is going, it’ll probably be an entertaining game.

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

      None of them create at all. Let’s see the line-ups, if Arsenal shows up with 3 at the back it’s done.

  26. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Loving this as I only own Chillwell

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This game hasn't been boring at all.

    Tactically really good from both teams.

    Abraham has been quite good today.

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, enjoyed it. Now I'll enjoy it more with a Kane and Son brace.

  28. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell isn't actually that good .

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What?

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      False.

    selling kane a good move so far just looking forward to his 2nd Half brace and then vardy blank tomorrow

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nah keep the belief. Right decision, even if Kane gets a goal its doubtful he will get 2 or more. Thats why I got vardy, believe he has a good chance to score more than 1

  30. gonzalocampos
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I need a 0-0 (James 3 bonus / Chilwell 2 bonus / Son)
