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.
Need to get rid of KdB immediately or wait for 2 ft?
Salah Mane Eriksen Alli Mkhi Pogba all options, or find 0.6 and get hazard
Can I get a poll?
Got West Indies to win. Cash out at £49 or wait for result getting £66?
Cash
Cash out Rupe not a huge diff , safe steal
wait
Unless there's something you've spotted that might cause the tables to turn, stick.
Cashing out is generally a bad long term play
Hmm. Nervy times.
Yeah , but cricket can be highly unpredictable. With relatively low upside in holding better to take the profit when it stares you in the face
Oh my god I'm so confused. 🙂
Bird in the hand eh
Over 33% to be gained is high imo
DROPPED HIM.
Stick 3 RPO is nothing and Hope is set
I'd cash out. Isn't the new ball due in 6 overs? I would never bet on West Indies winning anyway, but you've done it, so what do I know.
Great article, excellent stuff
Hey Trig. How's your start? I played my worst ever WC last week.
Start has been fair, nothing flash but solid. Sorry to hear about your wildcard, they can be a bit kf a lottery at times
My own fault. I mean who wild cards on your first anniversary week?
Happy anniversary Rupe !
Xxxx
Thanks bud.

I find every season much the same , first 1 to 5 game weeks much turbulence. Then normally settles and we can identify the better teams in each level of the PL.
Really tempted to WC this week however such a huge swing in fixtures from gw 6 or even from gw 8 that think best to hold steady .
Lose a little value now , will pick it up later
To those chasing value at the expense of all else just remember 70% of the top 10 finishes in the last 2 seasons had TVs of less than 105 mil . go figure
Interesting, holding mine anyway.
Really about having the patience to get a better "picture" versus a higher TV. Higher TV guys generally do better than average , yet you hardly see them in the top echelons come end of season
Very wise, only heard WC horror stories over the last week, a shame really, but we will be reaping the real rewards.
Hope so PP . Many ways though .. As long as we enjoy
Great post!
True. There are some teams with amazing or horrible fixtures that blindside us into making bad picks on WC. it's a game for the patient, this one.
Transfer KDB out now or wait till the end of the international break?
Get rid before next drop
Wait. You might have much bigger issues.
Is Hegozi nailed?
Should be, McAuley hasn't got much left in him.
Anyone captaining a Pool lad? Will probably score a hatfull against a very poor City side
Was considering this as Pool are just so good against the top 6.
Yep, I agree. Seem to really up performance levels in the bigger games
Me. Salah
Early kick off after the internationals is a bit off putting plus I'm not sure City are a very poor side!
I'm a little worried about rotation after the international break and before the first CL game. Will have to keep a close eye on when Firmino, Mane and Salah return from internationals.
Firmino
After a 61pt GW, What would you do with this lot? I definitely want to get rid of KDB.
2FT, 0ITB
DeGea, Elliot
Bavies, Zanka, Daniels, Stephens, Long
KDB, Willian, Mhiki, Fraser, Carrol
Jesus, Firmino, Kane
Thanks!
61 points this GW pretty solid I believe!
KdB to eriksen/Mane before he drops, probably roll the next FT over in case of injuries etc 🙂
Yeah a good week considering captain was on Kane.
Like your thinking, these were two I had in mind, or Salah. It's a question of triple spurs or double Liverpool.
Will definitely keep 1ft for after the international break, thinking of replacing one of the bouremouth players or bringing in Morata.
I got 60 with (k)ane haha
Salah has been great for me 66% of the time - scores of 11, 1, 11 aren't too shabby and he could/should have scored more against ARS
Nice! Kane will come good, not shifting him.
If he starts converting more of his chances, the 0.5/0.6 less is well worth it!
Salah over Mane that is.
Struggling to decide what to do with this lot?
DDG Myhill
Bailly Kompany Bertrand Yoshida (Gamez)
Eriksen Salah Ritchie (RLC Carroll)
Lukaku Jesus Gabiadini
1FT 1.5 in bank. Shoul I do
A) Kompany to alonso
B) Jesus to Morata
C) Save
Not feeling the need for a UTD mid? Tbh Gabs to Firm looks nice
I have 3 Man U lol. I need 1.6 for gabi to firmino missed out on that
hes priced out of firmino
Gabs to Firms agreed.
Oh rip Firm rose last night you can't do that. Um, probably DDG out? So you have better flexibility for UTD options
Which is the better attack here?
A) Pogba Eriksen Salah Richarlison Jese
Kane Jesus McBurnie
B) Pogba Mkhi Salah RLC Cork
Kane Morata Firmino
B.
B. But have you considered getting rid of Pogba and Cork for Richarlison and Jese so it's a bit more balanced.
Pogba is playing really well, cork/rlc are 4th mids in a 343
B
I actually like the 3-5-2 a lot. I'm still really high on Jese/Richarlison, but they are very unproven at this point. The second one is probably a lot safer/smarter.
Does this look ok? Haven't WC'd yet.
De Gea | Elliott
Alonso | Bertrand | Kola | Mee | Mbemba
Mane | Eriksen | Atsu | TC | Pogba
Lukaku | Firmino | Gabbi
Kaku to Kane?
Is it all Q&A with mark?
Got 0.5 mill in the bank and 1 FT, need to get rid of Fraser at 5.4. What's the options?
A) Mooy?
B) someone else
Ć) Or a hit?
Foster Elliot
Davies Jones Stephens Mee Hunemeier
Eriksen Mane Willian Carroll Fraser
Kane Lukaku Gabbi
Mooy.
Brady? He's 5.5.
Agree with Brady. Just look at Burnley' s great home fixtures through to week 17.
Kane still not fell in price wtf
Don't worry. Mark has sold him on the WC, expecting him to fall tonight.
Absolute joke. Already lost 300,000 owners, something definitely not right with the algorithm.
Morata up 1 so 25% of my plan done
Very little activity at the moment but Thursday might change that if there's moves that tempt investment.
Ok thanks Mark. What's your plan with Kane? I sold with intention of buying back at cheaper price
Richarlison owners rejoice, he might rise tonight.
Yay.
O/
Already used FT for Kane>Morata.
Tempted to wildcard, thoughts?
Foster Myhill
Suttner Daniels Kolasinac Bertrand Lowe
Willian Ritchie Eriksen Mooy Carroll
Firmino Morata Lukaku
1m ITB
I wouldn't
Really want to sell Ramsey, but I've nothing ITB so it's either sell for a similar priced player or downgrade, or transfer him and somebody else and take a hit. Here's the rest of my team, what do you recommend?
Foster
Cedric Hegazi Jones Alonso
Mkhi Ramsey Eriksen
Lukaku Chich Kane
Lossl Chalobah TFM Carroll
Bournemouth at home, keep Ramsey.
But he's crocked isn't he?
Na, should be fine, see if and how he plays for Wales.
Jones to Lowe?
Already got Lossl though.
Ramsey>
Fabregas - not nailed but produces numbers
Can
Atsu
Ritchie
Considered most of those admittedly. I suppose if I commit to anyone other than Fab, and even him to an extent I'd leave myself quite thin in midfield.
Alonso is essentially another midfielder with that price though.
Ultimately, the only player I see fit to raise funds is perhaps Kane...
Kane>Morata or Firmino
Fabregas>Mane or Salah
Keep ITB what you have left
Ok thanks mate.
Ramsey Chico to Brady firmino?
Hi all...i am planning on sitting tight and not wilfcarding this lot....
Would u agree that is the best move?
0ft...0.4itb
Foster elliot
Jones Stephens Lowe suttner long
Salah eriksen mkhi Ritchie Carroll
Kane lukaku gabbi
Thanks
Mate that's a great team. Stay put.
Cheers mate...just wish Kane would start firing!
I'm the same.
I would keep, but FT Kane for Firmino for GW4 only
Great team but I'd get rid of Gabbi
Before his brace ?
Already used ft on kdb to eriksen on Sat night.
Gabbi is one player that likely needs to go...also Stephens needs watching...
Like naughton on Swansea 4.5.
Ayew Swansea at 5m could be great...but don't know if nailed. .
Wilfcarding lol
Its for when Wilfred Zaha drops 0.9 to make up for his non drops.
Do we think Morata and Firmino will rise again before the deadline?
yes
YEs
Probably.
Little bandwagon to jump on if u on a wc
yep. Although I wont keep Morata.
yup
CAn anyone tell me if Kompany or gabbiadini will drop anytime soon?
No , both far off a drop , relax
Both fine.
L'equipe now saying Aurier won't get work permit in time to sign. For the sake of FPL please don't sign Aurier
ON WC
A) Alli+Morata
B)Fabregas +Kane
These comparisons always misleading , as you need to look at full team.
As it stands A
But when Kane regains his Mojo would you Cpt any of A above him ? NO and Captains win FPL
Questions , and different answers
is the scout cast going to be tonight?
No
When will the next one be? Tuesday before the deadline? So in a weeks time?
Yes
Dunno but it will be announced via hot topics in the morning of the day it will go out
Liverpool admitting to Cout that he can leave.
If they don't sign anyone else of note then from an FPL perspective good. Need less piranhas in the tank at Liverpool.
Long term will stick with Firm though, 3 games in and the midfield is already a headache.
I am going with Firm + Salah
Fewer Piranhas in the tank - that's nice I'm nicking that!
Correcting and nicking...
Markovic to Watford if he moves at 5.5M or less could be a good move
Sakho to Palace also likely
Prefer Brady at that price.
Fair enough. Feel as though Watford will be much better with Silva as manager. Best to wait to see which cheap option is best after 10 games.
West Brom in talks with Grzegorz Krychowiak 😆
WBA defender essential if that happens
Beast mode on. Great player!
Can't be true. He isn't 7 ft.
He was brilliant in Sevilla, Stade Rennais and PSG literally killed him. Great value if given sure starts
Ofc great value for real PL team 😀
1FT, 0M ITB. Problem players? Willian, Jesus and Kane for either their value to points or nailedness.
Foster Elliot
Jones Stephens Mee Naughton Suttner
Mkhitaryan Salah Willian Atsu Carroll
Jesus Lukaku Kane
Stephens might develop into an issue soon
In terms of van Dijk staying? Apparently Liverpool fans spotted him in Liverpool after stalking his plane/van haha
I'd save the transfer.
Maybe Stephens > Bavies or Trippier?
Not enough funds for that sadly
If Mark WCed and got Kane out wanting to bring him in GW5, what are your thoughts on using a FT for Kane>Jesus (LIV could be a high scoring match with Jesus OR Aguero getting a lot of pts) and then using the next FT for Jesus>Kane?
The increase in TV would range from 0.1 (worst case scenario) to 0.5 (best case scenario).
Arguably a waste of two transfers
Yup, arguably. That's why I'm interested in opinions, with a tad more detail behind their reasoning though
I have bigger problems that 0.1 in TV so not worth it in my opinion, but depends no how happy you are with the rest of your team/likelihood of injuries
Well 0.1 wouldn't be worth it probably, but anything upwards of .2 would, and if Kane falls .3 and Jesus rises .1 you get a .4 increase come GW4, and all it would take for that to happen is Kane not scoring vs Everton, and Jesus scoring vs Liverpool... not that unlikely.
I'm very happy with my team, but you can never know with injuries... hopefully I'll have none
Who are you captaining mate? Why is a maximum of extra 7-8 points tempting you so much?
Morata if I don't sell Kane, Jesus if I do.
A potential increase of .4 in TV (and that's .4 ITB mind you) is tempting me.
Kane won't drop 0.3m before GW5. People will still buy him for Swansea. And Jesus will need to rise 0.2m for you to see a 0.1m profit. I don't see both happening in any case. More likely, Kane will drop 0.2m and Jesus will rise 0.1m. You will only net 0.2m in the best case, which is all assuming Kane blanks and Jesus does not.
Yes I would do that, and disagree that it is a waste of two transfers as the value will make a big difference to the overall team in the coming weeks.
I think so too, but how big of a gamble is it.
TBH I'm wondering whether people think Jesus starts and scores vs LIV (because Pep is nuts and you don't know with him) and whether Kane will fall .2m over the international break. If the answer is yes to both I'm doing the transfer.
Yes....go to FPL Stats page and it confirms the anticipated drop and rise for Kane and Jesus.
I have, but Jesus is still going down (going by fplstatistics), a goal vs LIV and a start would change that for sure, and Kane might only drop by .1m, as he has been on -75% for over a week, and now he is on -98% after another blank. His price isn't THAT volatile.
That would be my worst case scenario
Jesus to Kane is something I'm looking at if I do book in the transfer. As you say, they could be heading in different directions on Saturday night.
Do you think the gamble is worth it? It basically comes down to that, but the only thing I'd be losing is 2 FTs.
I'd value your input. Its worth noting that I'm very happy with my current team as I have (in my opinion successfully) WCed the previous week.
Unless you have 2 FT and a perfect team where you don't know where else to use your transfers, these moves are a waste.
Well I WCed the week before and I am pretty happy with everyone, have 1 FT this week so I'd be using next weeks FT as well.
How would you use 1 FT in this team?
Foster
Cedric Hegazi Jones Alonso
Mkhi Ramsey Eriksen
Lukaku Kane Chich
Lossl Chalobah TFM Carroll
Keep FT
6 years, 8 months agoSo rumours that Arsenal will pay a fee and get Sterling with Sanchez going the opposite way?? Whaaaat???? lol
