Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man United

A day of goals and points aplenty ends with the main event as Spurs host Manchester United in the final fixture to be played at White Hart Lane.

A momentous day for the club, it’s unfortunate for Spurs and for owners of their key Fantasy assets, that the result is somewhat academic.

While Mauricio Pochettino’s men will look to provide their supporters with a fitting sign-off, they will need to lift themselves following the Gameweek 36 reverse at West Ham and Chelsea’s title-winning triumph that followed.

Fantasy managers will be hoping for a quick revival.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane head into the tea-time kick-off owned by 33.8% and 20% of FPL managers respectively, while Christian Eriksen is still found in 18.6% of squads. Kyle Walker also remains the top owned defender (30.7%), although he again misses out today with Kieran Trippier preferred at right-back.

For Kane, there should be no need for extra motivation. He will not only seek to score the final goal at White Hart Lane, he is still giving chase to both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot. He his currently level with Arsenal’s Chilean on 21 goals, trailing the Everton striker by three.

Kane has seven goals from his last six starts but has yet to score against visitors Manchester United in six attempts.

Jose Mourinho’s side arrive to present another line-up influenced by their Europa League campaign. The United manager makes predictable changes following Thursday’s hard-fought 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo as Wayne Rooney starts, along with Anthony Martial in attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      73 with 15 left to play, can't see more than 10 of them starting though! Bb has got me 2 points so far.

      84-8 here with 13 (plus Sanchez (c) - really hope he plays v Sunderland lolol!) to go.

    Wanyama with a yellow 2 bonus and constant fouls the bps system is so inconsistent

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A yellow has killed most of my (1 goal) players chances of baps this season, how Victor pulled this one off is beyond me?

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes please explain as everytime one of my players has scored and got a yc they missed out on the baps!? Eg Kompany the other week....

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        And Kane a few weeks back... I could go on

    How was that not a Vert OG?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Guess burden of proof falls on proving it wasn't going in, rather than was. Which seems a bit odd.

        1. b✪mber
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I think we have enough ball trajectory to establish that the shot was going wide. Some people just suck at their jobs I guess.

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Agreed, but nothing we can do about it.

        Kane could have easily got 1-2 goals more 🙁

        1. Dreams

          It's okay mate. One more match to go.

        How many players left if counting a captain as 2 (or TC as 3)?

        I have 13,

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          15

        2. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          On paper 13 but could be just 10.

        3. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          15 but doubt all will start

        4. Duffy Dunk
          • 8 Years

          13

        7. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          In theory 15.

          In theory communism works. In theory.

      • George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just in case you've missed it looks like Pundit of Pundits has scored 92 with 13 to go.

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years

          The one who performs well gets them, not that we agree to them most of the times. Especially when Jesus Navas ends up with 3 BAPS.

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

          It awards players that have played well, they take much more into account rather than just goals, assists, clean sheets...

              Somebody fiddling with numbers and 'spotting' a couple of lost tackles?

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Not somebody, it's an automated algorithm. But I get what you're saying, it's those tackles, getting dispossessed etc.

            Costa no addicted to hauls
            Alonso too expensive but had him for his 21 pointer
            hazard burnt me on many occasions when I cap him
            rest of mid, rotation prone

              44 points combined over 2 games. 14 + 10 + 12 + 8. Great value IMO.

        17 - Alli

        Lukaku will be away to Arsenal in the final GW. Kane has two games but LEI (A) and HUL (A).

        I would say that Kane still have fair chance to get a Golden Boot.
