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.

    Daniels and Abraham > Jones and Chicarito

    Yay or nay?

      For a -4

      looks good

    With Pedro coming back Morata looking good and hazard on the way.

    Chelsea due for a successful defence of the title?

      Morata looked awful today. Was entirely anonymous and missed a sitter. Hold play left a lot to be desired.

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

        I disagree I thought he was good and that goal missed wasn't that bad

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

          Right again well done.

        2. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Wasn't that bad? It was a completely free header. Centre of the goal. Not ahead of him. Not behind him. Pace on the cross. Easiest header a striker could ask for. Missed by plenty, not even close.

      2. bojack
        • 8 Years

        Waxys is never wrong.

          Has someone bet you money that you have to go a whole 24hours without disagreeing with him?

          1. bojack
            • 8 Years

            No I just realised that he is God.

              I suppose it's better to play with a troll than to get clubbed in the face by it! 😆

    Bellerin --> Hegazi and Ramsey--> Mkhi? (-4)

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

      Keep rambo. Looked good yestersay. Will get pts.

      1. FPL Mentor

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

        Hmm really want Mkhi though. Have KDB, Eriksen, Willian, Ramsey and Loftus-Cheek so Rambo seems the most desposable or do you see it differently?

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

          I'd do it. Arsenal don't keep cleanies & Mkhi going to have a great season

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

            Yeah think so too. Ramsey will be behind Alexis, Lacazette and Özil in points scored. I can see Mkhi being second after Lukaku in Man U.

            Thing is, Hegazi is not a sure starter :/

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

              Hmm I know. Don't you fancy a Hudders defender they've looked quite solid

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

                Already have Schindler. Doubling up seems like an overkill. Could go for a Watford defender like Britos but their schedule doesn't look that great. Such a shame I am 0.1 M short for Mkhi if I buy a 5.0 defender like Dawson or Jones..

                Really don't know what to do now :p

    I came early and subbed Alonso out, to make my Pogba move. Glad I got this haul.....can't help but feel like I made a mistake

    Repost, no replies last time.

    Pending tomorrow's game, what do you guys think about doing Quaner + David Silva -> Chicharito + Tadic/Redmond for a -4? Need to do them both before the Chicharito price rise to be able to afford it. Would mean I can play three up front which'd be nice. However I wouldn't have any City coverage.

    Is this too knee jerky for this team

    Milivojevic, Salah & Danilo > Mooy, Eriksen & Lowe (-4)

    Foster Elliott

    Danilo Bertrand TAA Mee Dunk

    Salah Pogba Ritchie Milivojevic Carroll

    Kane Jesus Lukaku

    We'll see if KDB and Walker can redeem them 🙂

    It looks sad.

  19. Feloh

    has the scout team hit the 20 point barrier yet? 9 out 2 to go.

  21. Yome

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane at his price not returning is really worrying.
    Thinking Eriksen/Alli are better value. WC is tempting to downgrade Kane and reshuffle

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

      Keep for Burnley and Swansea at home in next three GWs.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He had more shots than Lukaku Jesus Aguero and Lacazette combined so far I think. Just very unlucky. Also hit the post twice

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

        Well then his finishing is poor so far... It is better to have kane when he is on fire like at the end of last season

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          That could be next week 😉

    3. Debauchy

      Relax Yome , 1 week is a long time in this game

  22. Fantasy Gold

    I've had such a horrible start.

    Wildcard anyone?

    🙂

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years

      Yes! so many players I want that I don't have

    2. Debauchy

      Marathon not a sprint , shuffle on

  23. Nicks93

    Who needs Alex Sandro when you got Alonso?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Defo getting him when I wildcard

      1. Lebowski85
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I just subbed him out like a knob

  24. hannesdela
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Hegazi a sure starter?

    Would like to get him in for Bellerin to make room for Ramsey--> Mkhi.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's not a sure starter. He could get dropped any game.

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

        Damn that sucks. Would you advise against buying him? Who would replace him and would it be sooner rather than later?

  25. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If there are not injuries in the remaining game I might save the transfer this week for 2ft over international break.

    Hart
    Bertrand / Ake / Cedric
    DeBruyne / Salah / Richie / Mooy
    Kane / Lukaku / Gabbiadini

    Elliot / Mee / Carroll / Long

    Thoughts?

    1. Barmak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in similar shape - u considering getting Alonso or Pog/Mkhi in?

  26. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mane > Eriksen or just save the free transfer?

    Sure Mane could get something against Arsenal's defence but Eriksen could go big against Burnley.

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

      Trust Mane's record against the big teams more than I trust Tottenham's record at Wembley

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Mane

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

      Try to look past next week. If you want to get Eriksen in, I would find another way. Mane is a firm hold for now, there must be a higher priority transfer

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

    I think I'm going to be stuck with Atsu until I wildcard at this rate.

    KDB+Daniels to Alli + Trippier is the current plan.

    Leaves me 0.1m and not many other downgrades I want to make right now to fund it.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rather Eriksen over Alli

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 8 Years

      Hold strong Andy.

      Wait for news on trip

    4. Dokdok666
      • 10 Years

      Didn't Trippier leave the game injured?

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        no

        1. Dokdok666
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          From Livescore: "90+1' Kieran Trippier is injured and is replaced by Vincent Janssen"

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He signaled to come off after a clash. That's all i saw.

    5. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Better wait to hear about Trippier, with rose still not even in training Davies is a good option

    6. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What's wrong with Atsu? Hasn't scored points yet but played 90 minutes. Can't expect returns every other week from a 5.0 midfielder!

    7. Barmak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I have build my whole squad around Kane Lukaku Jesus Salah and KDB...the other 10 are just place holders which makes it a unstable...Salah benched Kane another blank...heart says WC but mind says Kane has Burnley @ home next...confused as hell

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

      Even if you don`t have Kane next week, you can captain other players like Lukaku or a City player.
      Kane is not essential

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

        True...I am currently stuck with so many unwanted players like Atsu, Fraser Daniels etc and the bench is just for bench sake...I think I will pull the trigger by tomo

    2. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Kane never gets going until October.

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

        The curse is for real...could have easily scored a hatrik @ the St James's and hit the post today also...that 12.5 is too much to be stuck imo
