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.
Just like Sanchez out for us , what must be must be
Sad to see the little guy go but at least Sanchez didnt refuse to play
he only played so he could flounce about and shake his head and look rueful on camera.
If Lemar goes to Liverpool I'm then #wengerout
It looks like liverpool are offering a lot more than Arsenal were. Like 30mil more
*which I'm guessing hinges on Coutinho leaving.
Either way, they should have sealed the deal a long time ago already. They're operating as if it's still 2004, oil money don't care.
If wenger sells Sanchez then he needs to buy at least 3 players ready to go into the starting line up
Lol. We both know that won't happen. I'm past the denial phase, I'm in acceptance now.
Rate my WC team please, left 0.9 ITB just incase Kane scores against Everton and I need to upgrade him turning Luk --> Kane
Fabianski / Elliot
Cedric / Daniels / Suttner / Mbemba / Naughton
Mane / Pogba / Richarlison / Alli / Carroll
Firmino / Lukaku / Morata
Looking ahead to gw 6 , have not watched Everton much .
Am I right that Keane is nailed in defence ?
Yeah.
Absolutely 100%
thanks guys. thinking Dann out and bench Keane to avoid the drop
Hmm maybe not yet
Good for now?
Foster
Bavies/Cedric/Jones
Mane/Eriksen/Miki/TC
Kane/Kaku/Chica
Elliot/Chalobah/Lowe/Mbemba
0.5ITB 1FT
?
If Kane&Chica blank terribly GW4, I may go for Morata&Firmino 2FT - good idea??
Very nice team IMO.
Thanks!
Blank terribly ? blank a blank , guess you mean no threat ? then yeah
Exactly
You have my team mate. Safety in numbers
Good luck then!
Bottomed, and think this could be a valuable discussion for TV.
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).
I was contemplating something similar
Who are you looking into?
You may get injuries for other players/suspensions and will need to use a transfer elsewhere maybe without taking hits. Im on a wildcard and have taken Kane out completely because I'm not getting him back in till he scores 2/3 games in a row.
Possibly yes, but bar injuries I wouldn't want to change anyone. And everyone is pretty much nailed. (the least nailed people are Bavies and Mkhi but are playing superbly and don't see them losing their place for the next two games at least)
I've done the same thing.
It's a risk making an early transfer during international break of course though.
I did kane to morata (when he was 10m) as I think morata will increase to 10.2 and Kane will drop by 0.2-0.3.
So should have maybe 0.4 ITB when I transfer morata back to kane.
I have Morata since the previous GW, significantly less of a gamble than going Jesus - BUT - you won't want to transfer Morata out. Trust me.
I'm thinking Morata for at least until GW10. If he can give points away from home he will be great for 10m
Oh no don't say that!!
I won't be able to resist kane (c) bs Swansea though.....
I was looking at mortal but missed his rise. If Kane double drops i think its an option but I've got other problems so decided against it.
Fair
If Kane double drops imagine his euphoria if he scores a goal.
Yeah but he's not likely to get more than one EVE away, two is a longshot and three is absurd.
lol 🙂
He'll be hugging everyone in sight
My gut tells me Jesus will score against Liverpool , so if you are willing to risk he is a Cpt choice.
Im more risk averse at the mo though
I'm very confident he will if he starts, that is the bigger question to be honest.
Think city score at least once
What needs fixing here, 1FT, 0.4itb
Benteke to ? or save FT?
Forster
Dawson Davies Yoshida
Willian Ritchie Mane Alli
Benteke Jesus Lukaku
Elliot T.Carroll Mee Hunemeier
Drop Tekkers.
Rooney a good pick?
Yeah.Abraham maybe?
Are Swansea after a RB? Want to get Naughton before Dann drops - think he's more nailed than WBA defence?
Santiago Arias
Article on wildcarding
http://Www.triggerlips.com
Cheers, interesting read 🙂
You should run on poll on the site design. May be I'm in the minority but the homepage looks like it has ads all over the place.
That last year after 3 weeks section is gold. But I think Huddersfield will be a fun team all year. They may wind up getting relegated, but they've shown more life/ambition than Middlesbrough did.
Nice article,good read.
Great reading, thnx
cheers TL
Haven't read it all, but completely agree with the opening line, I usually WCd easily inside 4 GWs, but don't feel the urge to yet, need more time to feel this season out.
Anything to change here? 1ft 1.4itb
Foster
Kompany Bertie Hegazi
Eriksen Tadic Willian Atsu
Kane Kaku Firmino
Elliot Caroll Ake Long
Captain Kane or Chich next GW?
Cant back Kane until he starts scoring.
Well he's got to start one week...
Everton look fairly solid.
Can't be putting faith in West Ham atm. Lukaku for me. Even a Liverpool player
Great article.
On WC; simply cannot pick between Lukaku, Firmino, Kane and Morata. Looks like I'll get Kane in for Firmino when he's cheaper, at the moment.
Anyone else having their worst season ever? OR 1.6M, absolutely terrible :/
We are 3 games in mate. And yes its been a bad start but oh well. Got a wildcard to play with over the break now at least 😛
1.6M here too.
Kane has really pushed me down the ranks.
Lol it's gameweek 3 ffs, everyone usually has a bad start, then as each week churns away you progress over the casuals.
1.6m as well, I was still outside the top 1m at gw12 last season and still finished 7k so not too worried yet
Do not panic Baloo, there's loads of time left to climb.
1,67 M here 🙁
1.4M, take that you lot!
1.6m at this stage is not bad at all
Which Combination is better?
A) Morata + any defender
B) Kane + 5.4 defender
A
Isn´t a good week, GW4, to use the free hit chip?
You mean wildcard?
Depend on your current team.
Isn't a better one gw35 when 8 teams have a dgw?
Dont use that chip until there are only 5/6 matches in one GW.
Or this
With lot's of away games in many teams,might be a decent week to do it.
Surely 50% of teams have an away game each week? 😉
Must mean ff teams as Chelsea Liverpool and man it'd are all Away or Home together for a while
*Man Utd
10 teams play away.
As they do every week
Lots of teams playing away (i.e: Manchesters, Tot, Che)
Lots of players playing international duties in far away places that probably will imply to be benched (Brazilians).
teams with bad form having good games (i.e Arsenal)
Any news on spurs signing a RB? want tripper before are drops in price but not sure hell be nailed if Aurier comes in.
Spurs offered but a few complications , google it
Nothing conrete just says they've applied for one, will have to wait this one out
Lost on last page.
Is Naughton nailed? 🙂 Swansea not looking for a RB are they?
Dann soon to drop so unfortunately can't wait until Thurs!
Looks nailed and a good option I rexkon
Cheers 🙂
Oh wait sorry was on this page :/
See Rosenior (4.0) got 45 mins at wkend for Brighton. Was there an injury? Tactical? Any chance of some starts !?
Enjoyed the first paragraph of the article.
Agreed. Thought the article dragged on after that
Robson-Kanu, Foden and McAuley owners, what are you doing? All 3 are falling tonight. Taking the .3 drop or getting rid for -12?
You have all 3?
lol , yeah Cruel
Ouch. Who would you swap them out for?
You could also ride the drop , Such wanted players are sure to rise again ?
Y
WC?
You idiot, Rondon covers them all.
I have 1 FT. Just need to switch Stones and PVA out for BDavis / Naughton and Jones etc? No worries elsewhere? I want to hold on to Kane.
DeGea (Elliot)
Stones, PVA, Bertrand (Mee Mariappa)
KDB, Mane, Mooy, Carroll (RLC)
Kane, Jesus, Firmino
Thanks for the advice.
Sorry KDB has already been traded for Eriksen
No worries at all. Some little defence changes in my opinion
Cheers.
Oh my. Only worry would be that you have no United other than ddg... Their attack is pretty good.
Yeah there is that.
Glass-legged, distinctly average Jonny Evans getting fought over by City and Arsenal is literally like me walking into a bar and Selena Gomez draping herself over me. Ridiculous.
lol yeah , beyond comprehension
Nothing average about Jonny Evans especially when looking at some of the centre backs on show at Arsenal and Man City
City have bought absolute garbage in Mangala and Ottemendi. Evans is reliable and experienced and better than both of them.
I think people are going to be disappointed if they think they're going to make a lot of money over the international break.
I think it's making it in the sense of not losing any
Everyone just randomly forgets that you need to rise 0.2m to make 0.1m profit. Almost every post is like Kane will drop 0.3m, Morata will rise 0.3m, 0.6m profit. Err...No.
Yep. And, of course, Kane almost certainly won't drop 0.3 before the next gameweek deadline. And Morata is unlikely to rise 0.3 either.
Keep Kane, and drink tea! 😉
Keeping , and on Stella this fine eve
A toast to a slightly older fella
Wishing I was *in
Kane will drop a max of .2 imo. So what he will regain the value the moment the first goal goes in.
Captain Hindsight , getting in early
Agree though
Hindsight born of experience.
Aye
Fingers crossed for that Kane's blank against Malta then 😉
Totally going to be a couple of goals for Kane to annoy us owners more - then blank next game.
20 more shots without a goal and the "underlying stats" "veterans" will be creaming themselves
Will stick to plan regardless , lose only droppers I want to lose ie not Kane and buy players I want whether they are rising or not.
Prostitute for money , not my way
I can see the sense in avoiding drops.
Foster Elliot
Davies Jones Stephens Mee Hunemeier
Eriksen Mane Willian Carroll Fraser
Kane Lukaku Gabbi
Got 0.5 mill in the bank and 1 FT.
A) fraser->mooy
B) Kane out and Fraser out for a hit
Ć) save?
D) Any other options?
Need 0.1 to WC to this. What can I change?
De Gea
Cedric Hegazi Alonso
Salah Pogba Carroll Eriksen
Lukaku Morata Firmino
Elliot RLC Mbemba Rosenior
Hegazi to Dawson.
I'd then be 0.3 short lol
Oops. Yeah.
De Gea to Forster and Cedric to Jones. Upgrade Rosenior if possible, or keep money ITB.
I've heard it all now.... Apparently Swansea are looking to get Renato Sanches on loan from Bayern Munich with the German giants expected to pay some of his wages. Paul Clement is reportedly very keen on the deal especially since his stint as assistant manager at Bayern where he worked with Sanches.
What.
Epic
Phew. I held out. A total of £295 on that game and £165 on the Liverpool game. A pretty good week.
Wow, well done!
Great Rupe
West Indies win. What a performance!
Incredible. Had it for a draw and cash d out for a nice fro fit and then put it all in the Windies.
Great work there. Test matches on day 5 always hard to predict.
Very. There was almost no spin which is crazy considering how hot it has been.
Didn't watch the game until the final hour tbh. They were terrible in the first test and i expected the same. Incredible turnaround.
Woah,didn't see that coming. Great performance
Just a quick heads up, guys. I've seen a lot of @FPLVirg posts on here asking me to comment on Mark's shock Wildcard. My initial thoughts are that he has made a huge tactical error, but I am preparing a proper, in-depth (for the want of a better word) statement and I'll post my full response shortly.
The wait is killing me.
Don't die.
"T'was in the merry month of May -
The green buds were a-swelling -
Sweet William on his deathbed lay,
For the love of Barbara Allen"
* dripping Virg
"in-depth (for the want of a better word)"
Deep?
"riddled with conjecture"
"padded out with opinion"
"full of guesswork"
Likelihood of Jesus starting vs LIV?
Who are Brazil and argentina playing? Cant rest both him and Aguero
Ecuador and Colombia
What do you think?
Both will be chartered private jets to get them back in time to play
"Is it true that Harry Kane can never become a father in the month of May? Because he cant score in August."
6 years, 7 months agoSeemed likely with our pursuit of Lemar but the liverpool 'ITKs' are saying Liverpool will sell Coutinho to Barcelona now. Klopp wants him gone and barce appear to be offering over 120mil
