Is Harry Kane’s FPL value damaged by his tendency to drop deep?

A week has passed since Harry Kane‘s (£12.5m) blank in Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 win over Cardiff City and the one-point return still rankles for those of us who backed the England striker with the captaincy in Gameweek 8.

Having been bought by over 380,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of the Cardiff match, Kane now sits in around 31% of FPL squads at the time of writing and many Fantasy bosses will be wondering what to do with their premium forward in the weeks ahead – particularly given the fixtures Spurs have in the short term.

Our Scout Notes touched on Kane’s frustrating tendency to drop deep in the win over the Bluebirds and this positional analysis is something we have decided to explore in more depth for this latest members’ article.

    Mitro (C) anyone?

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      totally acceptable choice. Would be considering if I owned

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Too much of a gamble for me

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Two rubbish sides playing each other and Fulham are marginally better because of the quality in their attack and Mitrovic is their main man.

    3. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison better

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He’s a great option this week.

      I’m bringing him in this week.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Great minds think alike 😉

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Bringing in
        Captaining
        Massive difference

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I’m bringing him in, but not captaining him.

          If I had a poor start to the season and was chasing my mini league leader then I’d captain mitro this week.

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Doesn't make him a bad captaincy option

    5. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Very poor stats in recent games

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Nope. Or yes 😉 Poor stats only vs Arsenal, Everton and MCI. Totally irrelevant vs Cardiff.

    6. Vizzini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Done

    7. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Eye test has been a problem for me last 2 matches, I actually got Mitro in for the Arsenal match but wouldn't be giving him the arm band until i see a spark again, even v Cardiff. You are better off playing it 'safe' with Kun, a pool attacker or Hazard IMO.

  2. BucketHead
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Goin forward guys help with this...

    Mane kdb ageuro tripper or

    Mane sterling lacazette mendy???
    Would be losing salah and kane to fund both

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A with Mendy

      1. BucketHead
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Could swap ederson and tripper to Allison and mendy

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          TBH I would simply avoid a premium keeper if on WC.

          Much better value in 4.5s and you can bank the cash elsewhere. Plus Ederson and Allison take away a Citeh and Pool spot.

    2. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B to valid Spurs.

      A if you trust Spurs.

      1. Kragbaek
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        avoid*

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      2nd option definitely

  3. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Good Morning All,

    Which is better?

    A- Shaw > Robertson (-4)
    B- Moura > Mane' (-4)
    C- Both for -8

    Have no other Liverpool players.

    1. BucketHead

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A.

      But also depends who you may be benching instead. If you have to bench Doherty, then B.

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No
        My current defense:

        Bennett Luiz (Shaw, AWB, Stankovic)

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Oh jesus. Yes. Shaw > Robertson definitely haha

          1. _Gunner
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah Though so 😀
            Terrible bench

        2. Regin
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Aweful defence. I would WC if not used.

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      C

      Sky is the limit

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Can you see Huddersfield conceding lots of goals?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I see carnage in that game TBH

    6. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Arnie is the one to go till December.
    Kane meh.
    I own none, but would love Arnie in my team

    Okbyw

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer both Wilson and Mitrovic for the next two GWs.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mitro is great for next 4 .
        Arnie - mitro could be a good pair

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Wilson and Mitrovic and then upgrade Wilson to Arnautovic in GW11 when Bournemouth play Utd.

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I am keeping Wilson. If u look closely at bmouth fixtures, the ' tough' ones are against manu and arsenal. Both of whom are poor defensively

  5. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I Wanted to keep Salah for these fixtures but when I’m not evn sure he’ll start, these moves look inviting
    Salah and Fraser > sterling and KDB

    1. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Just shows you what you can do with the Salah money

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yep....if you have 2 ITB!!!!

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would never get a player so soon after a long term injury like kdb. Don't even know if he will start.

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    It’s simple for me.

    If Salah is confirmed out, I’ll just get Sterling/Mané and keep Kane.

    If Salah is fit, I’ll do Kane > Aguero for free.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ok

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I have done Kane to Aguero so I’ll hold on to Salah,

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kane owner here and I would advise people to get rid of him ASAP unless Moura is dropped.

    4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      And what if he faces a late fitness test? Or Klopp says “we’ll see on Saturday”.

      When was the last time an injury like this resulted in a manager in a news conference being explicit about them playing or not?!

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Then I’ll keep him

    5. JRO093
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I am the same as you. Have 1 FT and will do exactly what you are saying there

  7. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Any advices lads? Kinda want Lacazette atm. Got 2FT, 1.2ITB, cheers!

    Rui,Hen
    Alonso,Robbo,Trippier,WB,Bennett
    Mane,Hazard,Dilva,Maddison,Billing
    Kun,Wilson,Mitro

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro and D Silva to Lacazette and Richarlson?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sell Mitro before a stretch of games that includes Cardiff, Bournemouth and Huddersfield? 😆

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Dilva + Wilson to Laca + Richa if you're really keen on Laca

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier to doherty
      Dilva to sterling

      Or

      Just do Trippier to Mendy and roll the other transfer.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        +1

  8. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Chaps

    1 FT and the cash to do either

    1) Fraser to Maddison
    2) Hennesey to Ederson

    I have Callum Wilson but no other Leic or Bmuff coverage?

    Help please. Thanks

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      1.
      Keeper transfers are generally a waste their ceiling is mostly very low

    2. thepirates
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would switch to Ederson!

    3. olidooley
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ederson

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’d do Hennessey to fabianski and pocket the spare change for a different move in the future.

  9. thepirates
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Two questions, thanks for advice!

    World you take a hit for DDG > Ederson?

    Start two of theese:

    a) Ings
    b) Fraser
    c) Madison
    d) Walcott
    e) Jimenez

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes probably. You'll have met profit of 2 instantly.

      I'll start c and e

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No I worldn't

      Fraser
      Jiminez

    3. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No hit,

      A & E

    4. dontyouknowimloko
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      For free maybe, not for a hit

      B & E

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No. Fraser/Jimenez

    6. olidooley
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      2 FTs and 0.7 itb with this crowd

      Patricio Hart
      Alonso Trippier TAA Doherty AWB
      Hazard Richarlison Maddison Fraser Hojbjerg
      Kane Kun Mitro

      Plan was Kane/Hojbjerg to Salah/4.5....

      If no news on Salah how about Hart to Fabianski?
      That way have a week to monitor Pool and Salah and 2 FTs week after to make my Kane out move...

      Good plan?

      1. Waterwheel Inc.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve got a very similar team and did Hennessy to Fan last week to avoid burning one. Considering Trippier to Mendy this week.

        1. olidooley
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Is Mendy nailed tho? I could do Trip to Robbo too

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Trip to Robbo for sure

    7. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looking at doing David Silva and Kane to Mane and Lacazette for a hit, sound good fellas?

      Current team

      Hennessy
      Doherty Robertson Alonso
      Hazard Dilva Rich Knockaert
      Kun Kane Mitrovic

      Hamer WB Hojbjerg Holebas

      1. olidooley
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Save and do for free next week

      2. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yes do it.

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Or you. Can do one at a time

          Kane out this week
          Silva out next week

          1. Waterwheel Inc.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            This. Don’t think there’s a side enough gain on Dilva to Mane this week for the hit

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Priority should be Liverpool attack.

        Salah or Mane. Wait on injury news. Losing Dilva kinda sucks this week too because he has BUR.

      4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn't really want to sell Silva this week. Maybe do one half and the other half next week

      5. MTPockets
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Not for a hit

        • THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks fellas

        • Regin
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

      6. Eden Wizard
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Nice consistency from FFS authors by putting this season left, last season right....what is that all about

        1. Robin Hood
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Both are acceptable. Does it really matter or is it difficult for you to understand it?

        2. Touré De Force
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          You are not the arbiter of the universe

      7. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        What will you do with this team? 1.4 Itb with 1FT

        Ederson
        Alonso monreal Robertson
        Knockaert Fraser mane Hazard Maddison
        Vardy Aguero

        Hamer Awb kabasele kamara

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Vardy to lacazette as I dont rate vardy
          Or I'd hold

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I think the boat has sailed for lacazette. He was a good differential 3 weeks back

            1. Pieterke30
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Agreed. Might score well in next two but dont expect much from him in the following two (Pool and Wolves)

            2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I didnt realise you were asking for differentials

          2. Vizzini
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Vardy stats look pretty good as do his fixtures.

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              1 shot in the game
              Does that count as pretty good?

        2. Vizzini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Monreal > Mendy (GW 8)
          Ederson > Alisson (GW 9)

        3. MTPockets
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Sell Monreal, but not an urgent transfer

        4. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          "Sergio Ramos admits the chance to give England a kicking is always a thrill"

          England player owners holding their breath?

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Sounds like a sensationalised clickbait headline to me

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Might be but let's not pretend he isn't masterminding a vicious plan to take Kane etc. out of the game.

            Ramos is one of the best defenders ever to play the game
            Total winner

          Team is doing very well at the moment so want to get the next 2 moves right.

          Patricio | Foster
          Alonso | Robbo | Trippier | WB | Bennett
          Salah | Hazard | Maddison | Richarldson | Ward
          Kun | Wilson | Mitro

          Have 0.3ITB and 2FT

          Going to downgrade Trippier to get some money to move Wilson/Mitro to Arnie in a couple of weeks, so do you prefer:
          A) Doherty
          B) TAA

          The other transfer I will keep depending on Salah news but if he is out, do you prefer:
          1) Sterling
          2) Mane

            • 14 Years

            If Salah is out then get both. Sterling slightly better

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              How does he get both mane and sterling in?

                • 12 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Indeed, both are good options but don't want to lose Maddy or Rich

                1. Robin Hood
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  I would lose any of those in a heartbeat and I own Rich

            Doherty

            Mané as you already have Aguero and no Pool attack (without Mo)

            1. KickIt

            Team looks great, maybe Trippier to Doherty or move foster to a better gk

            B2 but not much in it.

          5. Robin Hood
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Both A/B and 1 is a far superior pick than 2.

          6. MTPockets
              5 years, 6 months ago

              b1

          7. Bruce Lee
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            When both are on the pitch, who is on corners and FKs, Knockart or Grob?

            1. Regin
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Knockaert as there is no player called grob.

          8. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Wilson (C) anyone? Most likely going to be Kun, but Wilson has a tasty fixture too.

            1. Pieterke30
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Dont have him.

            2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              It's an unnecessary risk that can trash your season IMO

            3. KickIt
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Maybe as VC but Kun (C) looking too dangerous

            4. JohnCarewCarew
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              My transfers in this week will be Wilson, Kun and Mané barring international shenanigans ( -4). Could captain any of them, but yep, starting to think Wilson as a bit of a diff.

            5. Patio Kev
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I have Wilson but I wouldn’t go anywhere near captaining him.

              Bournemouth don’t have a great record in New Forest derby games and regardless of Southampton’s difficulties this could be a tight game, they are rarely high scoring.

              Southampton won narrowly at Palace recently and I fear this game might be similar.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            5 years, 6 months ago

            Already used my FT to rid myself of Peltier; but now I have no Pool mids/forwards.

            A) Kane to Firmino (-4)
            B) Kane to Lacazette, Maddison to Mané (relies on Mané going down (currently -67% and Maddison going up (currently +98%) (-8)
            C) Kane to Vardy, Maddison to Mané (-8)
            D) Do nothing and hide behind the sofa

            Ryan
            Alonso Robertson Mendy Doherty
            Hazard Fraser Richarlison
            Kane Kun Mitrovic

            Hamer Maddison AWB Schneiderlin

            Thoughts?

                Yep, would be just like Kane to bang in a brace after I sell him.

                Sofa time.

            Is it possible that the average top 10 in FPL all come to FFS and use data to pick their teams? Or there may be one or two that just watch the games?

            Should we say those that dont use data are more skillful to predict players that perform?
            Are those that use data considered 'cheating' (a bit extreme yes)?

            1. Touré De Force
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Data. Everyone uses data to some degree. Subconsciously,your brain is compiling it for you when you watch football (I've heard it commonly referred to here as "the eye test").

              No point in looking at the top 10 at the mo. A lot of them will have used 2 or more chips already.

            2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I have tried to cut down on my use of data.
              It adversely affected my rank last year. Especially the selected data regurgitated by SOME vloggers and podders who actually aren't that good players. They just repeat what the popular feeling is. My rank has gone back to what it was before

            5 years, 6 months ago

            Front line of aguero-mitro-arnie. Set? Got salah still, is it worth swapping him for sterling? Would leave me with just taa from lpool

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Maybe. Still undecided between Sterling and Mane myself.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Does three big hitters in midfield hinder flexability if no premium striker? Unessecary risk?

              Thinking hazard, salah and sterling with mitro, Wilson and Arnie up top

              1. Robin Hood
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                That is something that I am aiming for. Nothing wrong with it at all.

              2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Considering this myself

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Cheers, on a wildcard and likely to go this route

                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Also going to do this with WC in coming weeks. If you take last seasons points and create the top scoring team for 100. You get no premium forwards.

              4. Regin
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                The only premium forward worth it is Aguero. Laca maybe but he is semi premium.

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  This.

                  Ings, Jimenez, Wilson, King, Mitro, Arnie mean there is no place for any non-Kun premium forward.

            3. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Play who?
              A) Hennessey (vs eve)
              B) Fabianski (vs TOT)

              Cheers.

                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  B more likely to get save points imo and West Ham tend to do well in London derbys.

              3. Follyfarmer
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                I'm unsure of who to captain this week, im leaning towards sterling currently, what are people's thoughts? Current team:

                Kepa
                Trips - robbo - doherty
                Madison- sterling- haz - fraser
                Mitro- wilson - aguero

                Bench: Alonso - bennet - hojbjerg

                1. Robin Hood
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  I am on Sterling.

                  1. Follyfarmer
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Yeah i reckon I'll end up with him but just seems wrong not to have haz as captain considering the way both he and man u have been playing recently.

                    1. Robin Hood
                      • 5 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Logical reasoning for each captain but need a bit if luck and rub of the green. For me, City will absolutely smash Burnley and Sterling will get more minutes than Aguero.

                2. Vizzini
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Mitro. Both teams likely to go for the win. Makes for an open high scoring game more likely IMO.

                3. Vizzini
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  I'd lean towards playing Alonso at home over Maddo away. Points if no goals and likely points with goals.

                4. FPL Mountaineer
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  I don't own Sterling but I have a feeling he's gonna do really well in GW 9.

                  Hazard also looks a strong contender for captaincy even though it's against Man Utd.

              4. EgyptianKing
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                After transfers:

                Patricio
                Alonso, Robertson, Trippier
                Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Richarlison
                Lacazette, Wilson

                Hamer, Bissaka, Holebas, Kamara

                Thoughts, please?

                Captain choice?

                1. MTPockets
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    sterling

                    1. EgyptianKing
                      • 5 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Tempted! My biggest concern is a 1 point cameo... If he starts, he may haul, however, in fact

                  • FPL Mountaineer
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Sterling and Hazard are good shouts.

                    I think Lacazette is being overlooked a bit for captaincy. Leicester looked really poor last game against Everton especially while playing out from the back, and Arsenal press well as a unit so definitely he's one for consideration.

                  • 11 Years

                  What to do here
                  2 frees and 0.3 in the bank

                  Pat
                  Mendy Robertson Alonso
                  Mane D Silva Fraser Hazard
                  Mitrovic Kane Wilson

                  Was going to get Salah but not sure now.Thoughts lads.

                    Hi all, i would really appreciate some advice as I started well but I am now losing ground.

                    What would you do with this team?

                    Foster Fabianski
                    Mendy Robertson Alonso AWB Peltier 
                    Mane Hazard BSilva Walcott Frazer 
                    Aguero Wilson Mitrovic 

                    I have 2 free transfers and 0 in the bank.

                      Quantify “losing ground”. Have you considered moving Walcott?

                        ... your team looks pretty good BTW.

                      All you are missing is a Wolves defender IMO. Ideally you would do something like Foster to Patricio, but don't think you can.

                      Bilva out for Maddison will give you the funds to upgrade Peltier or shift Foster.

                      I would lose Wally and Peltier for Bennett if you have the funds ......but I wouldn't play a WC and only the Wally transfer if you have only one TF

                    Would you use a wildcard to upgrade this...

                    Patricio / Button
                    Mendy / Alonso / Trip / Robbo / WanB
                    Salah / Haz / Richi / Fraser / Mendy
                    Aguero / Mitrovic / Quamer

                    To this...

                    Button / WanB / Salah / Quaner
                    >
                    Fabianksi / Doherty / Madison / Lacazette

                      Not unless Salah is ruled out.

                      If Salah is fit your teams about as good as it gets.

                      Even with Salah out, a simple move to Sterling or mane might be better than spending the wc.

                      Im in a fairly similar situation as you, and I've entertainere the idea of wc if Salah is out. No chance of using it if he isnt though.

                        No.
                        Trip and Quaner to Doherty and King / Wilson and you are set for some good GWs.

                        If i had salah in my team i wouldnt be looking to move him on this week. Team looks strong and i think wild card would be a waste

                      Ederson (Hamer)
                      Alonso Robbo Trippier (AWB Holebas)
                      Mane Maddison Hazard Richarlison (Billing)
                      Kun Mitro Wilson

                      1.1 ITB 2 FT

                      What moves to make this week?

                        No moves required unless you want to ditch Holebas for Doherty / Jonny.

                        Yeah just Holebas out

                      3. My heart goes Salalalalah
                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        Maybe Tripper and Holebas to Mendy and Bennett

                      4. Rage Against The Raheem
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 5 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        Holebas to Doherty, Wolves defence becoming essential with so many people having at least one of Pat, Bennett, Doherty, Boly, Johnny and many with 2. Doherty is a big goal threat, Johnny as well but I think Doherty is better.

                          Thanks everyone - Holebas- Doherty makes perfect sense. Will do, and roll one over

                          Cheers!
