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.

    Completely undeserved win for the oil club. Their plastic fans should be ashamed of their manager's tactics.

      Doubt they care

      Yet their goal was through Alli diving? Chelsea did very well there.

      Nothing wrong with their tactics. Worked so well. Defending is as much a part of the game as attacking and they made it very difficult for Spurs.

        Paying 7m for a defender for his attack isn't lucky

    Alonso u absolute legend. Best value player out there

    170+ points guaranteed for 7m

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't stand Alonso. S*** player who constantly gets lucky. Much like Iker Casillas.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Classy free kick, and he tricked goalie brilliantly for the 2nd. No luck required 🙂

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years

      Alonso looks like a badly drawn cartoon of himself

  4. SuperMario

    Messing with the idea of a WC and would like to change ten players in the team.. That would surely be worth it actually.. Evening to think about it..

    Is it silly if you have alreadyy missed the rises from last night??

    Guessing the International break is the logical time tho!!??

    1. Bushido
      • 8 Years

      Yeah I need to wildcard as well. But l'll be holding out until next week.

      Yes it is, but I don`t know if I want to wait soo long.

          Think i'm on 22 with KDB to play

          Foster
          Ake Stephens Davies
          Ritchie Gross Salah KDB
          Mounie Kane(C) Lukaku....

          Absolute disastrous start to the season

            Are you looking to ship Gross out?

  5. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    That Dier substitution was the key moment. Chelsea got back in it after that.

  6. Alexis Nonsense

    Who to bring in vs Burnley:

    A) Alli

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years

        Hope Aguero (C) outscores Jesus 😉

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

          It's a fascinating battle!

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

            It will be 🙂

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, he was the obvious pick.

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

    Alonso > Kane

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

      That would mean playing 4-2-4 for me

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

        Lol you'll just have to stick with Kane thought August

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

          Stop trolling mate

          Why don't mods do anything about this? This is so obvous!

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Because the mods have been set the wrong standards.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              This.
              So very much this.

              1. Gnu

                • 15 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                And to easy to blame the mods..

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

                  Yep, though Eden Wizard was banned a couple days ago, in part because Waxys and other posters were winding him up. Resonsible for his own posts, but so is Waxys, and 90% of his posts are intended to provoke.

              • 10 Years

              Yeah it's very strange...

              That mute button Mark said was coming will be awesome.
              Though in a way it's too late as many have left already and more will..

  9. AzzaroMax99

  16. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 11 Years

    Kola to Alonso for a hit..? Hmm. To be considered.

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Really hated going without him from the off to be honest and considered making this move post Arsenal yesterday even before his 2 goals today so this just confirms the validity of the move for me and will be doing now before he's 7.1!! For me it's Fraser > RLC and Kola > Alonso -4...done deal.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
