Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

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

    Draft is good so far 50 points with Aguero Rooney and David Silva to play

    Foster Elliot
    Davis Stephens Mee Moreno Rosenior
    Mane Kdb Alli Fraser Carrol
    Lukaku Jesus Mounie

    1 m itb 1 ft. Willing to take a hit

    1. fishnil
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would hold. Nice team.

      1. fishnil
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        May be do Mounie-> CHicharito

  6. Roberto Baggio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino Danilo > Alonso chicharito ?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad

  7. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Alonso GW 3? One to debate for sure

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      never captain never bench never sell

      1. Sailboats
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        this

      2. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why never captain?

        Would have been a good decision today surely.

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          obviouly but his returns are unpredictable. nobody would captain him vs spurs

          1. Jairzinho
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            No, but against a lesser team at home I would definitely consider.

            He’s like a midfielder but gets an extra point if he scores and an extra 3 for a clean sheet.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with Aguero. And I'll switch to Kane. Deal?

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Deal Man City won 4-0 away at BOU last year Kun scoring one of them 😉

  8. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Will wait until after the City game tomorrow to finalise but should I do with 2 FTs with this team?

    Foster
    Kolasinac | Lowe | Alonso
    Ritchie | Fraser | JWP | Mane
    Jesus | Kane | Lukaku

    Elliot | Suttner | T. Carroll | Long

    1. Waxys
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get some good mids

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks I'm thinking the same, any ideas? Mooy?

    2. Lady Yaya
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely, you need to sort that midfield out

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      JWP lost his place, your midfield is too light

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Def need one of Pogba or Mkhi I'd say

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  9. Waxys

    Alonso price rise incoming get him while he's hot 🙂

    1. Waxys
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen too! Season keepers they are

  10. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Can you get by with a midfield of Eriksen, Pogba & Mooy (or other 5.5) :/

    With Alonso as a 4th mid, obviously.

  11. Jamie_GAWA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in Jones or Trippier?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jones atm, Trippier got subbed.

    2. Waxys
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier he's walking not limping so he will be fine

    3. Jamie_GAWA

      Thanks lads

  12. Stimps

          Just trying to help out a pal 🙂

            7 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not sure what desinformatin is pal but I can tell u that Alonso is going up by the second according to fantasy fix 🙂

            1. Clump

              He'll not rise tonight, as you know.
              Your attempt to push the bulls into the stock market was, however, khuckleworthy.
              🙂

      2. Deulofail

        Another troll!

      3. JustPark

        haha

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I might

  13. On The Up
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Knee Jerk Wc

    Foster
    Alonso Jones Yosh Trippier 4.0
    Eriksen KDB Pogba Carrol RLC
    Kane Kaku Quaner

    Would be making 7 changes?

    1. On The Up
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Essentially playing 2-6-2

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kane and KDB, no ta

      1. On The Up
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agree KDB but Kane ain't going anywhere

    3. Jolly Good
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Quaner to firmino
      Kane to Jesus
      and kdb to 8mio mid would be my WC team ... although I woundnt double up on pogba/mkhi... maybe get ramsey and keep 1mio ITB

  14. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    In a dilemma.. Tempted to wildcard before the price rises (and tweak depending on how Man City game goes tomorrow) and draft is:
    De Gea Elliott
    Alonso Bertrand Hegazi Zanka Mbemba
    Eriksen Pogba Willian Jesé Cork
    Lukaku Aguero Chico

    Bit of an overreaction? Currently this GW made a transfer from KDB to Pogba before the price rise (which wish I'd not done now) and current team is:

    De Gea Elliott
    Bertrand Stephens Hegazi Mee 4m
    Pogba Willian Ramsey Ince Carroll
    Lukaku Kane Firminho

    Thanks!

    1. fishnil
      • 9 Years

      Your mids are not too pleasing though

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        In current team or the potential wildcard? Or both!

  15. Taribo West on a free
    • 14 Years

    How far will Kane drop them? Would like to buy him .2 cheaper for next week!

  16. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    15 points. Stones, KdB and Jesus to go. Hope to make 30 points this GW.

    1. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch, that's rough.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Oof

    3. BRONALDINHO
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch, still doable though. Maybe even 40 if you're lucky

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wow , stay strong fella

  17. bojack
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Perhaps it's naive of me but I'm planning to save my 2FTs for the break and play a mini WC using a -4 if I need to.

    Slightly concerned about price rises but kneejerking has never worked for me before.

    1. Waxys
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      U told us this before the season started too

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Twice in 2 months is not the same as 100 times a day. Take note

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          😆

      2. bojack
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Love you.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Chica and Mkhi are calling me this GW, but I might take my chances starting RLC, and making a small change bringing in Trippier or something

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not at all naive Bo

  18. banskt
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia + Ritchie -> Alonso + Richarlison for -4 worth?

    1. bojack
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly.

  19. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier injured?

  20. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    that card magnet fool mounie won't rise now. potential profit lost

  21. Hobolicious
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So what are people's view on using the WC already now? Is it too early, and that after GW3 is smarter? The only problem with this is a lot of the players that seem key will go up in price by that time (Alonso, Lukaku, Mkhitaryan/Pogba etc).

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No harm in using it, I have done it early in the past.
      Alonso, Pogba/Mickey, Mane are all must have now after the first 2 games

  22. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Harry Kane. 8 goal attempts, 6 in the box. 2 chances created.

    I'm keeping.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      8 attempts vs Chelsea?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sell sell sell

    3. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      +1

    4. Coldplay
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Ridiculous to get rid before Burnley against whom 9 men Chelsea and even West Brom scored against

    5. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Madness to get rid of him before the Burnley game. He looked sharp today

    6. bojack
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He'll score well next week I feel.

      Kane(c) for me. Keep the faith!

    7. the snazzy viking
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same here, and if I have to take a price drop, I'm just going to deal with it

  23. Sgt. Pepper
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts on King? Looks like his price will go down

  24. Jimmy Boy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Wow, Richarlison has a lot of shots, very tempting

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Aguero and KDB to launch me back into the top one milly tomorrow night I hope

    1. Slam
      • 9 Years

      Jesus brace.
      2-0 City, heard it here first

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      i sold kdb last night and will regret it if he explodes

      weird situation to be in

  26. Fantasy Gold
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier got injured and subbed at the end?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Coldplay
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He was going to be subbed anyway but he was hit just before. Don't know if it was serious or not

  27. Permian23
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    There's so much knee-jerking going on. How many chances and shots has kKane had compared to Lukaku?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A lot more

  28. FPL Mentor
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea
    Alonso Danilo Stephens TAA
    KDB Pogba Ramsey Tadic
    Kane Lukaku

    (Elliot, Carroll, Quaner, Mariappa)

    Good to go?

    Danilo and TAA transferred out next gameweek.

  29. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gotta congratulate myself on my last minute punt by putting Löwe into my team right before the GW1 deadline. Shame I've left my best scoring defender on the bench twice in a row though.

  30. UCL Fantasy
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison looks an interesting prospect. Shame the fixtures aren't that great.

    For the money though it could be worth it - bit knee jerk though

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Silva has them playing well.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Probably avoiding unless I decide I want Lukaku 😮 😛

    3. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's cheap and they look good going forward under Marco

    4. FPL Mentor
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He looks good. Phillips could be the one at that price with his fixtures. Off the mark with an assist and on some SPs and Corners.

    5. Jamie_GAWA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Risky with those fixtures

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That's what they said about Maguire and Chicharito...

    6. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He is the one I want. But need to do KdB to him so I'll await City game. Would of course allow me to upgrade another mid or more likely(at first) defence.
