Ben Davies (Tottenham)
Anyone watch the Spurs game this evening?
How did he look in comparison to Rose at the weekend? Any chance of him starting in the coming game?
Ideally I want to bank my transfer this week and use the two freebies next week, but I don't particularly want a non-playing player either...

Re: Ben Davies
Regardless if he looked better/worse, i think Pochettino has decided on Rose as his first choice LB for now. Wouldn't risk keeping Davies till i saw otherwise. Your call

The stats are dark and full of errors.
Re: Ben Davies
Id assume the fact that he started tonight means he's less likely to start against QPR.

Re: Ben Davies
He was decent going forward but caught out a few times defensively. Rose 2.0....
My guess would be Rose back in at the weekend

Re: Ben Davies
In that case, any thoughts on who I should replace him with?
Clyne?
N Taylor?
Chester?
Dier?

Re: Ben Davies
I suppose that Dier is the most like-for-like replacement. Assuming that you have 0.5 in the bank to go to a 5.0 defender (Davies price drop means you need the spare cash), then I think I would drop to a 4.5 to preserve you ability to upgrade one of the front seven by 0.5.
None of the 5.0s really jump out due to new managers, doubts over starting places or cheaper CRDs in the same team.

Re: Ben Davies
Agree Dier is the most like for like. They are both non first teamers (once vertongen is fit). Not sure why you'd want to replace with "like" rather than "better" though.

I think Kaboul is the best bet to stay in the team, he was rested tonight, and had the captains armband on against West Ham in GW1. Already a discussion about this in the above thread.

Re: Ben Davies
Dier 5.1 now so you would need more than 0.5m in the bank

Re: Ben Davies
If you are convinced Rose is first team, why wouldn't you just take Rose?

Re: Ben Davies
Surely it's a matter of time before Pochettino loses faith in Rose? Guessing when is the challenge, but maybe Rose is worth a punt until that happens...

Re: Ben Davies
I started with Naughton as my plan was to wildcard at first international break and the theory was Spurs' first choice back 4 would be obvious by then.
Im now starting to doubt that.
And Naughton got sent off.

Re: Ben Davies
Davies was reportedly rubbish last night. Maybe Poch' will just buy a 3rd, better, left back and put you all out of your miserynickchild wrote:Surely it's a matter of time before Pochettino loses faith in Rose? Guessing when is the challenge, but maybe Rose is worth a punt until that happens...

Re: Ben Davies
He wasn't 'rubbish'
Defensively he looked a bit ropey, but going forward he showed potential, a la Rose ironically.
Assou-Ekotto?! Ah... same problem...

Re: Ben Davies
Not looking likely.
He was used midweek, along with many of the non-starters.
He was fairly Rose-esque in his playing.
Rose didn't play midweek, and has been in fairly decent form.
most likely Rose is now making that his spot and it's up to Davies to take it from him.

Re: (PLAYER PROFILE) - Ben Davies (Tottenham)
Davies to Neil Taylor; done.
Still got this niggling suspicion that Davies may start and bite me in the arse, but Taylor is nailed on and has a very strong fixture, which makes Davies not worth the risk in my opinion.

Re: (PLAYER PROFILE) - Ben Davies (Tottenham)
Is Taylor nailed on? Was taken off for Tiendalli in 53rd minute v Utd. Was this just protection against a 2nd yellow?
