Another Gameweek, another Harry Kane blank.
As covered in Sunday’s Knee Jerk, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, so in this week’s Technical Area we’ll be digging through the rubble of another disappointing weekend at Wembley and dissecting exactly what seems to be ailing Spurs – and in particular their talismanic forward.
Morata
1&2
With the Liverpool attack it really doesn't matter if you have a player already.
Who do you plan captaining?
Granit Xhaka. Obviously. 😉
Ballsy
😆
lukaku may b let see
Why not both??
Breaking: Peter Odemwingie spotted in car, with window down, outside Arsene Wengers house 😎
#dogging
I'm there.
A horse dogging? Isn't that a conflict of interest?
click on the gallery for proof
And I've just seen him putting his thumb in a Dijk on the Mersey.
Transfer confirmed.
Big thumb that
Up his Arsene 😉
Will Kane scoring for England slow his price drop?
Decisions, decisions
I hope
His goals for England wouldn't count to his FPL points so he is out for many casuals regardless.
Yes,it will. Many casuals won't know he did though.
He'll score a hatie vs Malta basically
Probably since august will be over by then.
as a kane owner who doesn't plan on selling, i can't really blame anyone for selling him at this stage, its been three blanks with a couple yellow cards....
I'm not selling. You carry on. 🙂
It's a question of one GW and improving TV, we all know Kane will smash GW 5 6 7 & 8
Yep.
So you're not partial to get a bigger TV for 2 FTs?
I already have a better plan in play. 😉
You're not the sharing type I take it
Why not? I have Hegazi and Foster, both close to a rise. And bought Mbemba, who is likely to rise twice. At the end of the break, I will sell Hegazi, netting 0.2, avoiding the double-up and any rotation worries, for Naughton, who has a string of good home fixtures, and should still be 4.5.
At the moment, I have 0.9 ITB, so will increase that to 1.1.
My spine of Kane, Lukaku, Firmino, Mané & Erksen remains, and I will have money to improve my midfield, with more information at hand.
Go clean on Doos
You likee? 😀
Yep especially the Naughton plan.. only i'll likely be moving on Trent Alexander Poxy Arnold
😆 I shot him last week, for Bavies. 🙂
Baviesonreal are leading the rear.
Got my eye on big Harold Maguire too
I'll suck on the Monreal loss, as he may be a Season keeper for me - we'll see.
Really? Interesting - you reckon he is OK, then?
Yeah he's a real threat in the box and the fixtures turn very nice for the foxes soon.. was impressed with how solid they were against us for much of the game on Saturday too
Hmmm.
LEI : CHE -279 hud -120 LIV -185 bou -254 WBA 103 swa -73 EVE 41 stk -164
I might wait and see ... 🙂
Foster has been on the rise for two weeks and still hasn't gotten .1m, Hegazi for Naughton is smart but Mbemba will only rise twice if he keeps his place - in that case I'd rather have him as a playing 4.0 option (initially)
Exactly!
agreed, but i think he could haul vs everton
I honestly don't think that is likely.
I do think he will score a goal though, but then again I was expecting a brace (at least) vs Burnley.
Guys bit of a pickle on wildcard, my cheaper defs are Hegazi and Naughton but I need a 4.5m GK to go along with Elliott, who do you feel the best option is? My options are:
A) Lossl (appears he'll be making a ton of saves this season)
B) Foster (WBA looks solid again but it means a WBA defensive double up)
C) Fabianski (amazing fixtures up until gw17, can swap for Gomes then, Clement seems to have tightened them up - means triple swans)
Foster and double up
Foster but would change Hegazi
Gomes
will laca start against bournemouth ???
Has to surely.
Indeed
Surely has to, got to be worth the armband
I'm doing it, and I'm also a kane and kaku owner
if he plays..
I sold laca to firmino ... not worth it
De Gea | Elliott
Alonso | Bertrand | Kola | Mee | Mbemba
Mane | Eriksen | Atsu | TC | Pogba
Lukaku | Firmino | Gabbi
Kaku to Kane?
Hold
De Gea
Cedric Hegazi Alonso
Salah Pogba Carroll Eriksen
Lukaku Morata Firmino
Elliot RLC Mbemba Rosenior
Where can I make up 0.1 to WC to this?
De Gea to 4.5 and can upgrade one of 4 m defenders as well
De Gea to Forster, Cedric to Jones if you don't want the double up
Actually go with Dunas' suggestion, didn't spot the 2x 4m defs
Eriksen to Alli?
Cedric or Hegazi to 4.5
Thoughts on Kolasinac? Surely back in the line up after the performance without him?
You'd think, ox going too
Certainly worth another week to see
Avoiding Arsenal until Wenger gets it together
Could be waiting a while!
He could be having a mental breakdown.
After all, he did just play a one man midfield away at Liverpool...
Yep, if you have you gotta play him , and hope
Wait and see with Arsenal.
With him in the team Arsenal conceded 3 against Leicester and lost to Stoke ... and then he was dropped ... maybe he will be brought back - hard to tell
If he's not starting he has to go. He can come back later.
Which one?
1) Trippier, Lukaku
2) Alonso, Morata
B but at least wait until deadline day has passed
A if no Aurier
How would you use 1 FT in this team? Quietely tempted by Kane + Ramsey to Morata and Salah for a hit but I'm strapping my knee down.
Foster
Cedric Hegazi Jones Alonso
Mkhi Ramsey Eriksen
Lukaku Kane Chich
Lossl Chalobah TFM Carroll
I'd hold it
Anyone else think Kane isn't actually that great?
nope ... haven't got him yet though
He shouldn't be as good as he is
No , is and will be
Yeah, shit goalscoring record
lol he's quality
Thinks he's incredible for PL, his goal scoring record can't be argued against. Dont think he's near world class though, never seen him do it in CL or for England.
If he was genuinely amazing top European clubs would have taken him by now or at least shown interest
I assume you mean as a player. If he another stellar season, people will really sit up and take note, especially if Spurs make great in roads in the UCL.
As an FPL prospect I've come to conclusion that he's over valued and his points can be covered...and no I don't mean because he's hardly scoring any as it is.
I did and maintained it for a couple of seasons.
He made me look an absolute mug. Great player.
He is great. He just isn't scoring. Spurs have lost their zip and nothing makes me think they will get much from Everton.
Redmond or Richarlison ?
Redmond in the short term
Or get Brady for more points.
Hi guys! Here is my team for GW4:
De Gea
Mee, Davies, Cedric
Eriksen, Mkhitaryan, David Silva, Fabregas
Jesus, Kane, Gabbiadini
Currently have Kane as captain. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Decent , free transfers ? money ITB ?
Money in the bank: 0.1m
Made 1 transfer from GW3 to GW4 (Replaced Willian with Fabregas).
Any suggestions on who to captain?
Thanks!!!
Is the scoutcast on tonight?
Avoiding ratings war with Bake Off
not sure, hope so
No
Begovic Elliot
Stephens Stones Dann Hegazi Mariappa
Atsu Mkhi KDB Salah Carroll
Gabbi Lukaku Kane
2FT
WC or not?
Obviously not
No need to WC...I would change KDB( ASAP) and Dann
Is Blind nailed?
As of now yes but all depends on the transfer deadline imo
See Darmian playing a couple around C/L fixtures this month.
* Sept.
Wildcarded to catch the price rises and avoid the drops but main focus was to get a bunch of guys who can be relied upon...thoughts on this squad guys??
Forster | Elliot
Luiz | Jones | Hegazi | Cedric | Mbemba
Mkhi | Eriksen | Salah | Atsu | Carroll
Lukaku | Morata | Firmino
Very good
Thanks mate
Not keen on the defence but see why you have picked it
May need a Kane exit plan
Chelsea, Utd,Sou and wbrom are covered and still not keen?? And I sold Kane to avoid his drop and hopefully I can get him back later at a lower price..
Not one to favour an early WC . Rises and drops happen through the season anyway.
But you have committed and now looking at getting through to the end of year .
Lose Mbemba , try and make a .1, Lose Hegazi , bank the profit
Forster to Pickford , good run a coming
Atsu , hmmmm
Hey.
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk
🙂
I can't see any better options than mbemba @ 4m..and Pickford is definitely a good shout...
Why are people going for this Brazilian Richard chap and that Jesé boy?
Cheap and shown promise
They had a good week or 2
Re Spurs woes: Does anyone think they could do with a pacey winger this season given the size of the Wembley pitch.They don't seem to have someone who could stretch the play by flying down the touch line.I know they have attacking wing backs but not an out and out winger.
With progressive fb's/wb's the traditional winger - bombing up & down isn't needed, they get in the way.
What I mean Nettly is, good as Trippier and Davies are, they don't offer the same attacking qualities as a Robben or Ribery for instance.
The idea I guess is for the fb/wb to replace the winger so you use inside forwards more, like Alli & Eriksen. It works well once the striker finds his range 😆
Is Pickford proper injured?
Probably an international injury
Meaning an "injury"
Hmm , ok looking at him from gw 6 , wait and see
How's my WC team looking?
Any changes needed?
De Gea
Cedric Hegazi Alonso
Salah Pogba Carroll Eriksen
Lukaku Morata Firmino
Elliot Mbemba Rosenior Grujic
Hit the button then! looks good apart from Carrol
Bench need work since you are on WC.
Drop one of the mids/forwards
Pogba to a 6m mid can give you good amount of cash for bench players
Think this wildcard team could do damage.
F. Forster Elliot
Alonso Jones Lowe Naughton Mbemba
Mkhitaryan Eriksen Alli Mane Atsu
Firmino Morata Abraham
Backline rotates and looks solid with Alonso the midfielder!
Midfield has players easily capable of doing double digits weekly.
Attack may look lightweight but...
Firmino is on penalties and has fantastic chemistry with Salah and Mane
Morata is more of a gamble but looks like an upgrade on Diego Costa for the same price
Abraham can rotate with Atsu if he loses form but has shown good signs in the opening games
Kane needs to show some form first.
Lukaku is one I can easily get in for Morata when the time is right.
Thoughts? 🙂
Quite like it. Obvious risk losing Lukaku as well, but pondering over the same.
Is an abraham/atsu mix appealing - not sure but could work.
I think that actually going with either one of Kane or Lukaku is the way to go, having both just takes up too much of the budget. Every team i put up doesn't involve Kane but can easily upgrade Lukaku to get him if he starts goind nuts.
Absolutely 100%.
This is a decision I will make on my WC in a few GWs time.
How does this wildcard team look?
Forster
Naughton Jones Hegazi Bertrand
Eriksen Salah Mkhi
Morata Firmino Lukaku
Elliot Richarlison T.Carrol Mbemba
I think Swansea are supposed to be in for another RB so Naughton needs monitoring.
Cheers Timbo I'll keep an eye on that
I'd personally want a Chelsea defender but looks really nice
Cheers for the reply mate.... would be nice to get a Chelsea defender but there so expensive
First question , can you get Kane in easily ?
Hegazi , Mbemba are yesterdays heroes , lose
Richarlson still a wait and see.
Fancy Swans to implode soon but thats just a gut so Naughton is a risk for me. Otherwise good
Kane's 2 transfers away
Hegazi is the best option in that price bracket
Richarlison is a punt and cheap can always change
Naughton best 4.5m defender other than Mee
So to conclude I appreciate your input but I'm happy with it
What do you think about Fabregas then? Started in front of Bakayoko in the last game, is this a sign of things to come or is it still a bit risky? I'm so tempted.
Same trend I guess. Home games against weak oppositions, sub appearances against tough ones
Great when he plays... but every week will be worried if he's playing or not
Rotation nightmare
Dont think he has enough pace to be a regular in Conte's system
So who's position does the Ox threaten in the Chelsea team?
Mainly on bench and play cup games/rotation during busy schedules and come on as impact sub in games my guess
The Tea lady.
Moses most likely. Possible back up for Alonso or centrally, not really an option imo.
Thanks.
Looks like back-up for Moses & Alonso
he'll be left back
left back at home >.<
Is KDB likely to drop again soon? Should i do KDB > Alli now or wait? Thanks.
Wait
Will drop again in 4-5 days
So mark played his wildcard. Interesting
Yep, I've just read the hot topic on the subject, opinions are divided but it's his team and good luck to him.
Which?
A) Jesus and Richarlson
B) Chicharito and Salah/Pogba
Thanks!
B
B
Can't take two weeks of my teams price falling. Hopefully Kane bags a few on international break
6 years, 8 months agokane to whom ?? though i have salah
1.firmino
2.morata
