Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man City

We end a marathon day of football at Wembley Stadium which provides a fitting finale as Tottenham Hotspur host champions elect Manchester City.

But it’s not Pep Guardiola’s City that hold the interest for Fantasy managers, as Harry Kane goes into tonight’s contest as the most signed player ahead for Gameweek 34 (255,000+) and wearing just over a million armbands.

Kane’s recent output has been hampered by injury, though having been awarded a controversial goal at Stoke City in Gameweek 33, he still boasts attacking returns in five of his previous starts.

Christian Eriksen has also proved a big draw ahead of this encounter, claiming 158,000 new owners before today’s deadline to edge ahead in the popularity pecking order in the Spurs midfield.

Son Heung-min may just have slipped down that ladder – he is benched today as Erik Lamela gets the nod. The South Korean will therefore likely start the away fixture with Brighton on Tuesday, though only three of his 12 goals this season have come on the road.

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

    Let’s face it all the games so far were the ones I didn’t expect the highly owned players to do anything.

    It is in the remaining fixtures where the points will be

    1. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I guess, potentially.

    2. Pariße

      It is in the remaining fixtures where the trolls are.

      Lingard and Smalling in my case. 4 points probably.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mahrez, Son and Kane a let down for many.

      1. FPL Dakes
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        this

      2. Syd.

        6 years, 5 months ago

        Mahrez against Burnley. What were you expecting

        Son and Kane against the best team in the league

        You were being very optimistic

      3. Point-one short
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Surely Son starts now against Brighton though. Rather it this way round.

    5. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes but when other players do something it becomes annoying then

    Not one flipping bap. Feck sake. This was my week to close 60 point gap on ML leader with BB. What a total balls up.

  3. Football Heaven

    6 years, 5 months ago

    If you free hit and confirm transfers, can you go back and change them like in wildcard?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      yes

  4. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So I had firmino in my pre FH squad , as well as in my FH squad.
    He will fall tonight, so will it affect my TV? Should I temporarily remove him?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Don't remove him or you'll have to rebuy at his cp.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        But him falling in price means losing value right ?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Buying him back is worse.

  5. Camp No No
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What happened to Rudiger?

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      David Luiz'ed

      1. skriniar
        • 7 Years

        silly Conte

      2. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        What does that mean?

        1. FPL Dakes
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          fell out of favour with conte maybe?

          1. Zilla
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah. He said something about not liking Conte's tactics.

            1. Camp No No
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Ok. Thanks! Wondered how come he was dropped completely out of the team just when I bought him. That's great! 😀

              FH and then review.

  6. Balls of Steel

    Guys, I know this has probably been asked before but does my FT carry over to gw 36 if I use my Free Hit chip this coming gw 35 giving me 2FT for gw36?

    Thanks all.

    1. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years

      dont think so no

    30 from 11 played following a w/c to set up a bench boost,utterly sick and tired of this season ,roll on august...

  9. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is the best bet to make transfers, not activate FH (like WC), try get rises of players already in place and then confirm FH later in the week?

    1. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think so, I've just messed up & activated it.
      I think that means that although I haven't transferred out Kane, Smalling etc I'll miss their rises now?

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dunno, maybe TM knows?

  10. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance Erik gets into BAPS?

  11. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Still sour about that Kiko sub. Consolation goal specialist Vardy killing my double Burnley defence wasn’t pleasant either.

    Hoping Rom can deliver tomorrow...

    1. FPL Dakes

      Ah jaysus just seen that now. Had him on my BB. What a shite gw

    3. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Very much so! Would have been a decent differential in my ML

  12. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So basically teams made up mostly of non DGWs players have done well so far this week.

    This WC has been an absolute disaster.

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Total shite

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn’t seem to be a high scoring week yet. But the good thing is the dgw players will have anothergo at it.

    3. n-doggg
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Half way there

      Livin on a pray

    If you are playing four at the back and one dont play (mee) and ya have long 2nd on the bench does it skip first sub?? (midfielder)

    Rival ML leader has long of course

    1. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      i think it brings on the 1st sub (mid). who was that

    2. philb159
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No it will change your formation and play the mid

      1. Point-one short

    Good LORD I hate Gundogan... seriously man?

      love him

      1. FPL Dakes
        • 7 Years

        do you have? I got burned by the bugga so bad... TM can attest to it

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Seems a sound chap. No whinging after busgate when he had every right to do so. I'll go out on a limb here and suggest he gave you a less than anticipated points return 😉

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I'm excited to have the Wolves kit in my team next season. Should add a nice splash of colour.

    1. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      have they still got ohara

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Apparently he is playing for Billericay Town in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

        Yeah, I dunno either...

    2. boredjames
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      the kit looks like a load of puss and you wont want any players as they will be worse than Sunderland were

  16. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So if I understand this correctly...we should just treat the FH chip Taht we're using now as a wildcard? We should just make lots of changes now to capture price changes and then hit activate the chip on deadline day on Saturday morning next week?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      This is a good question, I'm not really sure if the transfers you make before hitting the chip get wiped out.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Why not hit it now and just do the same but on FH?

      1. Rainer
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        If the Lukaku rise tonight would have given you an extra 0.1m, I'm not sure you get it if you're on FH.

        Anyone know?

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Just made a hot topic, let's discuss it there

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Seems a waste with a bigger DGW on the way, unless you have your wildcard too.

      1. FPL AXE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not if I've only got 3 players that'll play otherwise next week 😮

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. That is a very good point !

    4. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      activate it now then do the transfers. price changes are the same

    5. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      From the FAQs:
      After playing your Free Hit chip, at the next deadline your bank balance and squad is restored to as they were at the previous deadline, with any player price changes in the previous gameweek reflected.

      Any change to your bank balance whilst the Free Hit chip was active will be lost.

  17. niko mate

    Double gwks are overrated. I better captained Salah like any other week.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku(c) still to play. Let's see what happens by Thursday

      1. niko mate

        I don't even own him haha

    1. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years

      lmao. will probably start at like 10.5 next season i reckon, 11 most

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same as before

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Everyone been sweating about sell and buy-back value

    3. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He always seemed cheap tbh, even if we were only expecting him to match Mane's production.

      Even more ridiculous in Sky Sports Fantasy where prices don't change; he's 1.5m cheaper than Mane, 1m cheaper than Mahrez and only a little more expensive than Ramsey! Unreal that he's still only 50% owned there. Might be a forward next season in that game though.

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Also says Benteke, Ince and Klassen look like good value

      Damn. You, Smurf and Zoumasbloomers always have hard luck stories.

  20. n-doggg
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I assume if I want Eriksen for the rest of the season (36 onwards) I transfer in tonight in my normal team.... then FH after this to get the GW35 team. That way I will get Eriksens rises in my normal team in the background if he goes up again?...

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 5 months ago

        no you'll get this week's team back if FH for 35

        1. n-doggg
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Even if I make a ‘normal’ transfer first?

          1. MTPockets
              6 years, 5 months ago

              yes

        2. _Ninja_
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Nope next deadline you won't have him

        3. Twisted Saltergater
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Nope. As soon as you play the FHC all your transfers this week are for one week only.

        4. Dannyb
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Eriksen will be removed from team next week if you press free hit.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Nope. Reverts back to your originally team.

        Can’t catch a break against my mini league rival,

        He held onto Jesus Sterling,
        No Lukaku or Spurs assets..

        Kane (C) V his Vardy (C) wiped out my double Burnley defense

        1. philb159
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Same here. I was expecting to catch him and now I find myself twice as far behind haha.....sob.

          Still other than Vardy he hasn’t got much to hope for come midweek so the hope lives on

        6 years, 5 months ago

        For instance, my SV is 100M.
        I activate the FH Chip.
        Some of my CURRENT TEAM's players rise in price.

        Are those rises affect the money I have for the FH chip?

        1. n-doggg
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          No. Only rises of your FH players. So in a very unlikely scenario of a double risers in a free hit team could you make extra value
