FPL Question Time – Consult our panel after Kane injury

936 Comments
Share

The Fantasy Premier League community is now full of questions concerning one man: Harry Kane (£12.5m).

The Tottenham forward was taken off with a serious-looking injury in Tuesday night’s Champions League win over Manchester City.

He had become the staple of many a Wildcard draft in recent days, but is now unlikely to play in Double Gameweek 34.

That has left Fantasy managers wondering what to do with the spare cash.

Thankfully, we’ve assembled another panel for you to consult in Question Time.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Simon March – Fantasy Premier League champion in 2014/15 and regular guest on the FPL Show.

Ben McNair – One of Australia’s finest Fantasy minds, with four finishes inside the top 5k.

Holly Shand – Founder of Fantasy Football Community and regular guest on the FPL Show.

    Double Liverpool and double man city defense, g2g? (at least until the pressers)

    Ederson Gunn
    Laporte TAA Robbo Trippier Duffy
    Son Eriksen Doucoure JWP Mane
    Deeney Kun Jimmy

      I like Laporte still but surely Lloris is a better option that Ederson?

        I have three spurs already, I do want a double man city defense, so it sort of has to be Ederson and Laporte due to nailness alone

    Here you go. Rip it apart please:

    Lloris, Gunn
    Laporte, Robbo, Doherty, Duffy, Valery
    Haz, Mané, KdB, Son, Jota
    Vardy, Rashford, Deeney

    Vardy + Rash could become Firmino + Jimenez when needed.

    0.4m to change it around.

      Rash is very unlikely to play both games in the double with the niggled he’s had for a while now. Probably avoid IMO and go straight for Jim

          I personally prefer Jota and the Salah upgrade but it’s can see it’s hard to argue that. It’s the spurs double in 35 where I wouldn’t want both Son and Erik

    Two teams for WC GW 34 then BB GW 35

    A TEAM (Leaves 3.2M ITB)
    Ryan
    Robbo Duffy Dunk
    Salah Sterling Son Pogba
    Kun Jimmi Vardy

    B TEAM (Leaves .4M ITB)
    Ryan
    Robbo Duffy Dunk
    Eriksen Sterling Son Jota
    Kun Jimmi Vardy

    Leaning towards Team A as it provides more flexabillity to swap players from Pool and Man U

          I'm not on a WC and these two players won't be coming in until next week (my choice, however, does influence this week's plans). So Trippier rotation this week wouldn't be a problem.

    Well last night changed the landscape on things! Kane, Aguero, Deeney conundrum solved...

    Wildcard active, BB DGW35, 4.5m ITB

    Ryan

    a Camarasa + 4.5m for DGW35 transfer & JWP for BB
    b Eriksen & Hojberg BB
    c Pogba & JWP BB

    Can't decide on Camarasa. Worth a punt for DGW, then out for a DGW35 player? Means booking in a transfer which I never like on a wildcard. Or go with someone else? I'm a little worried having sold Pogba and Rashford with West Ham looming. Could get Pogba back? And hold JWP? Or even go as is, and get Hazard back for GW36?

        Yeah, saw your latest draft. Exactly same as mine but with Salah + Jota (and Hoj)

    Best Spurs defensive cover except Lloris?
    With the match Rose played, is Bavies an option for the coming GWs?

    Walker-Peters might grab some minutes from Trippier

    Done, I guess it's pretty template but solid right?

    Lloris Ryan
    Robbo Laporte Dunk Jony Valery
    Sterling Mane Eriksen Son JWP

      I'm looking at Hoj instead of JWP. Frees up some funds to offload/upgrade any duds.

        And I'd go for Lloris/Gunn. You'll play Lloris most weeks so no need to be tempted otherwise.

          Thanks. I think you may be right about Gunn. Wanted Ryan for the first double but likely they'll be nothing in it between him and Lloris.
