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.

      With the Liverpool attack it really doesn't matter if you have a player already.

      Who do you plan captaining?

        Granit Xhaka. Obviously. 😉

        A horse dogging? Isn't that a conflict of interest?

    Will Kane scoring for England slow his price drop?
    Decisions, decisions

    1. ooooo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I hope

    2. POGBA CALLED
      9 years, 1 month ago

      His goals for England wouldn't count to his FPL points so he is out for many casuals regardless.

    3. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes,it will. Many casuals won't know he did though.

    4. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He'll score a hatie vs Malta basically

      1. POGBA CALLED
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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....

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I'm not selling. You carry on. 🙂

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It's a question of one GW and improving TV, we all know Kane will smash GW 5 6 7 & 8

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Yep.

            1. LosBlancos
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              9 years, 1 month ago

              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

                  1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    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.

                        Yep especially the Naughton plan.. only i'll likely be moving on Trent Alexander Poxy Arnold

                      3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

                        😆 I shot him last week, for Bavies. 🙂

                        Baviesonreal are leading the rear.

                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        I'll suck on the Monreal loss, as he may be a Season keeper for me - we'll see.

                      6. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        Really? Interesting - you reckon he is OK, then?

                      7. KingNidge
                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        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

                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      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)

                      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        Exactly!

          2. BobBradleysOpportunity
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            9 years, 1 month ago

            agreed, but i think he could haul vs everton

            1. LosBlancos
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              9 years, 1 month ago

              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.

  4. We Will Klopp you
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Foster and double up

    2. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Foster but would change Hegazi

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gomes

  5. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
    9 years, 1 month ago

    will laca start against bournemouth ???

    1. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Has to surely.

      1. FPL_JAAFAR
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed

    2. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Surely has to, got to be worth the armband

      1. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm doing it, and I'm also a kane and kaku owner

    3. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if he plays..

    4. Jolly Good
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I sold laca to firmino ... not worth it

  6. Goonermeister
    9 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea | Elliott
    Alonso | Bertrand | Kola | Mee | Mbemba
    Mane | Eriksen | Atsu | TC | Pogba
    Lukaku | Firmino | Gabbi

    Kaku to Kane?

    1. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

  7. Scotty B
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea to 4.5 and can upgrade one of 4 m defenders as well

    2. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea to Forster, Cedric to Jones if you don't want the double up

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Actually go with Dunas' suggestion, didn't spot the 2x 4m defs

    3. Dannyb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen to Alli?

    4. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric or Hegazi to 4.5

  8. Tomerick
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Kolasinac? Surely back in the line up after the performance without him?

    1. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'd think, ox going too

      Certainly worth another week to see

    2. Lallana_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Avoiding Arsenal until Wenger gets it together

      1. Kun Tozser
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Could be waiting a while!

      2. Captain Roberto
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He could be having a mental breakdown.
        After all, he did just play a one man midfield away at Liverpool...

    3. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, if you have you gotta play him , and hope

    4. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see with Arsenal.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

    6. A.T
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If he's not starting he has to go. He can come back later.

  9. Lallana_
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?

    1) Trippier, Lukaku
    2) Alonso, Morata

    1. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B but at least wait until deadline day has passed

    2. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A if no Aurier

  10. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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

    1. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd hold it

  11. SweeSwee
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else think Kane isn't actually that great?

    1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      9 years, 1 month ago

      nope ... haven't got him yet though

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He shouldn't be as good as he is

    3. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No , is and will be

    4. Rogue Todd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, shit goalscoring record

    5. H-SF
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lol he's quality

    6. RustyBz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

    7. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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.

    8. Somalion
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did and maintained it for a couple of seasons.

      He made me look an absolute mug. Great player.

    9. Captain Roberto
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is great. He just isn't scoring. Spurs have lost their zip and nothing makes me think they will get much from Everton.

  12. EL_FENOMENO
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond or Richarlison ?

    1. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond in the short term

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or get Brady for more points.

  13. FPL Ultras

    Hi guys! Here is my team for GW4:

    De Gea
    Mee, Davies, Cedric

    Thanks a lot!

    1. Debauchy

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously not

    2. Rajveer

      No need to WC...I would change KDB( ASAP) and Dann

  17. Rajveer
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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

    1. RustyBz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very good

      1. Rajveer
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate

    2. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not keen on the defence but see why you have picked it

      May need a Kane exit plan

      1. Rajveer
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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..

    3. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

      1. Rajveer
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't see any better options than mbemba @ 4m..and Pickford is definitely a good shout...

  18. FPL Joker
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people going for this Brazilian Richard chap and that Jesé boy?

    1. RustyBz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheap and shown promise

    2. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They had a good week or 2

  19. *sigh*
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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.

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With progressive fb's/wb's the traditional winger - bombing up & down isn't needed, they get in the way.

      1. *sigh*
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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?

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably an international injury

      1. Sánchez
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Meaning an "injury"

    2. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

    2. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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? 🙂

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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.

  23. EL_FENOMENO

    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.

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

    1. A.T
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think Swansea are supposed to be in for another RB so Naughton needs monitoring.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Timbo I'll keep an eye on that

    2. RustyBz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd personally want a Chelsea defender but looks really nice

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the reply mate.... would be nice to get a Chelsea defender but there so expensive

    3. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      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

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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

  25. A.T
    9 years, 1 month ago

    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.

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same trend I guess. Home games against weak oppositions, sub appearances against tough ones

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Great when he plays... but every week will be worried if he's playing or not

    3. RustyBz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation nightmare

    4. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think he has enough pace to be a regular in Conte's system

  26. FPLzebub

    So who's position does the Ox threaten in the Chelsea team?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mainly on bench and play cup games/rotation during busy schedules and come on as impact sub in games my guess

    2. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The Tea lady.

    3. A.T
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Moses most likely. Possible back up for Alonso or centrally, not really an option imo.

      1. FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks.

    4. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like back-up for Moses & Alonso

    5. Captain Roberto
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he'll be left back

      left back at home >.<

  27. Krafty Werks
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is KDB likely to drop again soon? Should i do KDB > Alli now or wait? Thanks.

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

    2. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Will drop again in 4-5 days

  28. PB-THE-VET
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So mark played his wildcard. Interesting

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, I've just read the hot topic on the subject, opinions are divided but it's his team and good luck to him.

  29. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which?
    A) Jesus and Richarlson
    B) Chicharito and Salah/Pogba

    Thanks!

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    Can't take two weeks of my teams price falling. Hopefully Kane bags a few on international break
