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.
Lejeune imo
Thanks. Whos the second most nailed you think?
Incorrect. Clark most nailed as Lejeune will have to come back after injury.
Lescalles the odd man out then.. he was mentioned as the safest Newcastle defender in the pre season..
My wildcard team will probably look something like:
Foster, Elliot
Cedric, Jones, Fernandez, Lowe/Ward, Mbemba,
Hazard, Pogba, Eriksen, Salah, Rlc
Lukaku, Firmino, Chicharito
What do you think?
Too much newcastle players. Elliot>4.5 , Chicharito>Abraham, rlc>Mooy/Brady looks more stronger and not having Che defence is risky
Sky Sources say Arsenal would be willing to pay a fee plus Alexis Sanchez, to sign Raheem Sterling
For serious? Is that not the wrong way round?
According to Sky, its fee plus Sanchez lol
Surely not
Sky Sources is reading twitter.
And they can't even read correctly anymore. Embarrassing establishment.
massive clearout for Arsenal. You never know with Arsene
I think you should be banned on here during transfer periods for endlessly spreading this horse shit. 😉 😆
What do you predict will happen with Sanchez?
I think he'll stay.
Although I think any top 4 chance is fked anyway so should sell and give the money to a new manager.
Pick one:
A) Fabianski+Bertrand
B) Forster+Cedric
B
B
I'm starting to dislike defensive double ups. B with Pickford or another 4.5?
Captain Kane vs Everton or Morata vs Lei?
Mo I think
Not considering a Liverpool player?
I'm probably going Salah. City will play with a high line, ideal for both Mané and Salah.
Don't have any, so far they are proving me wrong but I didn't like LIV without Couts last season... seemed poor.
They seemed amazing vs Arsenal though, but that could be down to Holding singlehandedly.
morata
I'm captaining Kane for the foreseeable future. Explosion imminent. No other stand out options next week for me. Have Morata & Firmino as well.
Well GW5 onwards obviously, just discussing GW4
Yeah, and I'm going Kane. Have Mo. You should probably go Mo as my picks have been horrendous!
Just checked the stats for LEI and EVE @ home defensively for the previous season.
Pretty decided on Mo with what I've seen
A or B?
A) Naughton
B) Dunk
A
I'm in the Naughton camp, but may get both as WCing this week.
Foster Elliot
Alonso Valencia Bertrand Kompany (Hunemeier)
Eriksen Pogba Willian Tadic (Carroll)
Lukaku Jesus (Quaner)
2ft, 0.5m itb.
First thinking: Kompany to Davies or Naughton and save the other transfer and then bring Firmino, Morata or Salah, or even Kane the week after.
Any other idea?
Need some advice on the team folks! What needs to be done?
Foster
Bailly Stones Bertrand Monreal
Mane Alli Mkhitaryan Atsu
Lukaku Aguero
Elliot T.Carrol Quaner Mariappa
1FT 0.9ITB but willing to take a hit
Appreciate any advice!
Wouldnt wanna play Stones vs Liverpool. Not sure if Atsu strong enough to start every game but Its Swansea now so he can wait. Aguero a worry, didnt start last game. Stones and Aguero to Davies and Morata maybe?
Definitely along the lines that I was thinking of! Cheers mate
Can't believe I'm even considering Ozil. This is what IB's can do to you 🙁
IBS?
It's a car system for better brakes
Could be a decent short term punt. Just need Wenger to gather his stuff.
Don't go there, Arsenal was such absolute s*it vs LIV that I couldn't believe what I was watching
This!
And I cannot believe I'm saying this but if you're gonna invest, which I would not advice, I think Ramsey might be the best of the bunch.
Post again because of lose page.
my wc team.
DDG
Luiz /cedric /hegazi
mhkitaryan /mooy /alli /d.silva
lukaku /morata /firmino
bench : elliot /T.carrol /mbemba zanka
suggest me , please.
You should totally get that Sodom85 guy in your team!
Hey guys just bought an Apple Watch and want to know the best live score app that gives you assists and goals? Also decent notifications
Flash Scores is the quickest and most comprehensive, think it gives assists but maybe not right away.
There is a great app called Live Score I use.
How much is Sterling worth in today's market?
I reckon 30 million
More than the Ox. So probably £60m. 😆
1 pound = 1.2955 euros.
where did you get that exchange rate?
Just read it off BBC so it could easily be wrong!
Ah that was with the dollar
Mine!
With age, contract status and being English, I'd say £70-80m. World's gone mad, though.
In all truth, anywhere from £40-60 million wouldn't surprise me remotely.
For the stick he gets, which I give him plenty of, the guy has hit double figures in goals and assists in all comps every season since 2013/14 and is still just 22. English premium factored in as well.
£40m barely gets you Danny Drinkwater.
*Barely gets you PL winner Danny Drinkwater
£40 million imo is the more sensible level, £60 million is with today's valuations. No club will shell out £70-80 million for him imo.
He went for £49m 2 years ago and the market's gone bonkers since then.
Transfermarkt has him at 45 million euros but they put Coutinho and 45 as well and Van Dijk at 30 so these are most definitely on the low side of the spectrum.
Foster (Elliot)
Kolasinac, Stephens, Lowe (Suttner, Long)
KDB, Mane, Mikhitaryan, Carroll (RLC)
Kane, Lukaku, Chicharito
A - KDB > Alli?
B - KDB & Long > Alli & Wimmer -4 (with Wimmer a likely starter at Stoke this offers another defensive option rather than fodder)
C - KDB & Long > Silva & Bavies/Trippier? -4 (if this then it really does strengthen my weakening defense but would you prefer Bavies or Trippier?)
D - KDB & Chicharito > Silva & Firmino -4
E - Save FT.
Thanks.
A
I replied earlier to the same post.
Thoughts on this WC team?
Foster Elliott
Alonso Bailly Cedric Naughton Mbemba
Pogba Mkhi DSilva Atsu Carroll
Kane Morata Firmino
Based on what we know from first 3 games this looks like the perfect team. David Silva has looked very good so far but in a few weeks time the picture at City could change. Great team to lock in value though, i d say every player is going to rise in value soon.
That time of season when you learn that Egypt and Uganda are playing a double header.
Good luch Salah and come back safe!
GW4 Captaincy is interesting.
Kane (eve)
Lukaku (stk)
Mane (mci)
Mhki (stk)
Erik (eve)
OR...
Dawson (bha)...?? Brighton cannot score a goal, and WBA defense is looking solid as usual, plus Dawson ariel threat. Seriously considering it. Anyone else?
No,Dawson would be crazy imo.
I don't think it's crazy. Certainly a risk. But if you have watched Brighton, they have looked poor in attack and West Brom have looked like a wall in defense. If you look at the other 5 options, I genuinely reckon Dawson is the most likely to return. At least a CS.
Lukaku or Kane, but I'm a glutton for punishment.
I don't know why people over complicate this issue. its very simple....Sell Kane buy Firmino. When Kane price drops before GW4 and Firmino price rise you swap back again. Thus making money and keep your original pick. Worse case scenario you keep the transfer for GW4 and see what happens and change it back for GW5 when Kane fixtures look good and he will still be cheaper.
Are you suggesting swapping Kane to Firmino now, and then before the GW4 deadline, transferring Kane back in, for a hit?
100% do the trade to Firmino for GW4 and keep, but swapping Kane in and out (for a hit!) just to gain 0.4 or whatever is not good advice.
I am swapping Kane out but keeping Firmino for GW4 as I believe Liverpool v Man city will be high scoring and then use my transfer for Kane back
Well I think Mane will do wonders on the counter, so I think the highest pt scorer is either him or Jesus if he starts.
I'm going with Morata, and I have everyone but Mane and Erik from those
not feeling confident about predicting the Spurs, Man U & Liverpool points scorers and considering Hegazi (c)
I have Dawson but not considering it for a second. Brighton aren't a dreadful team like Sunderland or villa were, they'll probably score soon. I'm sticking with Kane, now august is done with it's time for his overdue haul.
Dawson can possibly get a 15pt-er, worth it possibly, but he also might end up with 1pt if they concede + YC.
As good an opportunity as any to (C) a defender other than Alonso.
I think this week is a great week to captain a differential. It's quite risky though, as you've pointed out. I just feel like a 6 pointer from Dawson is more certain then a hat-full of points from any of my other options.
But having said that, I will certainly be monitoring the progress of Kane, as I think if Kane can get going for England, he will turn that into goals for Spurs.
Lacazette, Kane or Pool attack imo
WBA trying to hi jack the Ox move.
Oh hang, on they are after Gibbs.
I thought he left football to work in his Dad's post office.
Racist.
I find your comment offensive
Is there an FPL app for Apple Watch where you can see your team / points?
You want to have FPL on your watch? Kids these days...
Trippier cover his eyes in horror
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4833554/Tottenham-discover-Serge-Aurier-s-gets-work-visa.html
Aurier price prediction??
6.0
Excellent article
any thoughts about my wildcard?
foster (elliot)
jones, cedric, nyom (mbemba, rangel)
pogba, mkhitarayan. ali, salah (carroll)
morata, jesus(C), firmino
cheers!
Nyom would be a risk if they get Gibbs and Evans wouldn't he?
gibbs going to WBA?
Forgive me, I had Evans on the brain and don't know how he crept into that reply lol.
I'm tempted by similar.
Wouldn't have 2 x 4m defs personally.
Is Hegazi still nailed?
Depends on the transfer market. Surely nailed if Evans goes and they don't sign a replacement.
No way to know for sure until Evans-situation is settled. But I hope so
Never was
Salah price will rise?
one day , not yet
Not today. Maybe in next 3-4 days.
Probably, but not today.
And he has games for Egypt yet
http://fplstatistics.co.uk/
He is on 68% and rising fast so yeah, he will probably rise.
Captain poll will be interesting this week
I'm currently torn between jesus and salah, who you thinking?
Kane, Lukaku, Salah or Jesus. Not a clue tbh
Yeah really hard to predict who comes back form the break and fires. Out of my options, I'm genuinely looking at Dawson's away fixture at Brighton. But dunno, it's risky. Could be the week for a risk though!!
Redmond or Mooy?
WC tinkering, and taking the latter means I could upgrade Morata or Lukaku to Kane when he starts finding the net.
Lukaku to Kane only with Redmond.
Why would you even have Redmond?
He has created a lot of chances and had plenty of shots at goal, but just one assist to show for it.
Good point. The guy is wasteful.
Neither tbh. Mooy is decent value I guess
Everything runs through Mooy on that team. I like having a player like that especially a cheap one. Mooy for me.
I think it'll be the way to go, means two sub 6 mids in a 3-4-3 but Alonso (goal attempts) and B Davies (chances created) are up there with the top mids stats so I might just run with it and see how it goes.
Anyone brave enough to do Chicarito (c)?
Are Huddersfield bad enough atm? Good week for a punt though
Afternoon lads.
Salah or Mane?
0.5 should be a factor
Both will get very similar points by the end of the season. Pick one and stick with them all season. I chose Salah as he was 0.5m cheaper and I could spend that cash elsewhere.
I'm thinking of Wildcarding to B, my Current Attack is A, Thoughts?
A) Pogba Willian Salah RLC Eriksen - 352
Kane Jesus McBurnie
B) Pogba Mkhi Salah RLC Cork - 343
Kane Morata Firmino
My issue with 352 is the lack of replacement options for Willian
Go for it. However, in the 352 you could always sell Willian and RLC and buy a 6.0m and a 5.0m to spread the cash and achieve a more balanced team.
Best defender pick under 5.0?
Cedric or Hegazi would be my personal favourites.
6 years, 8 months agoWho is most nailed: Clark, Lascelles or Lejeune?
