FPL Question Time – Consult our panel after Kane injury

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.

    How's this for a hit?
    OUT: Hazard, Barnes & Arnie.
    IN: Eriksen, Son & Deeney.

    GAMEWEEK 34:
    Ryan.
    TAA, Robbo, Chilwell.
    Sterling, Mané, Pogba, Eriksen, Son.
    Vardy, Wilson.

    (Boruc, Deeney, Jonny, Clyne).

    Currently building a plan for the DGW but how am i looking for this week? Captain? Cheers 🙂

      Like it...I might even play Deeney over Wilson
      captain one of Spurs mids

  2. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Latest draft, what we saying lads?

    Lloris - Foster
    Robbo - Doherty - Duffy - Dunk - Valery
    Mane - Sterling - Son - Lucas Moura - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Vardy (c) - Deeney

    Vardy becomes Jiminez for BB 35

    I'm proper annoyed with Kane. Getting injured has ruined my plans. Wildcard was done on Sunday, all set for this week and then the captain gets injured.

    I'm expecting Sterling and Aguero to be rested this weekend too.

    1. Il Papera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I think/hope/pray Aguero will play v Palace. Seems to me that Pep doesn’t trust Jesus and it’s another vital fixture.

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Every fixture is vital for City. Aguero is needed.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          But he’s just come back from injury and he needs him fresh for double spurs and then Utd

          1. Il Papera
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

            I think he’ll get around (hopefully at least) 60 mins v Palace. Play til it’s won. Still, feel somewhat tempted by KDB!

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I'm annoyed for different reasons - I was planning on not having him anyway and going against the template with Aguero + double up Spurs mids instead and now lots are going to go down that same route anyway.

  4. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Does this WC team look ok? Leaves .8 m in bank

    Ryan
    Vertonghen Duffy Robertson
    Salah Sterling Son Jota
    Aguero Deeney Jimenez

    Gunn Doherty JWP Valery

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Very similar to mine except I've got TAA instead of robbo and Laporte over Vert and Foster over Gunn so hopefully it's decent.

      Is vert nailed? Not convinced on Laporte myself but struggling for alternatives.

  5. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Who is on pens behind Kane? SP tab says Alli but im not sure, in any case if he isnt on the pitch you reckon it goes to Eriksen?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Defo alli but thereafter I’m not sure

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        I reckon Son

  6. Napster03
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    This seems to be it for me:

    Foster Ryan
    Robbo Laporte Duffy Vertonghen Valery
    Jota Mane Eriksen Son JWP
    Vardy Jimenez Deeney

    BB 35 2.0 ITB - Swap Vardy for either Auba ou Laca in DW (Europa league minutes to be monitored)

    G2G?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah looks good although I’d prob want dunk & duffy rather than Ryan so maybe have ederson rather than Laporte and dunk rather than Ryan but really just my preference

  7. Dave Dreamer
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Not sure about spending all that money on Sterling who might not start.

    A. Erikson & Sane

    B. Jota & Sterling

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Don’t go Sané, I’m not sure what he’s done to offend Pep so much, but he just can’t get in the team.

      No way I’d pick him

  8. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    I can’t see sterling starting against palace - not when they play spurs twice again followed by Utd

    And I don’t see any of those games where city score a fist full

    Therefore I’m at the point where I think I’m going without city

    Likewise last time alli and Kane were injured spurs continued to win and son and Eriksen were those that returned

    Based on the above I’m considering

    Fraser sterling > eriksen VC son C

    Sure it’s a risk but one I hope to pay off over the dgw particularly HUD & BRI

    Is this madness?

    Current team is somewhat lacking in dgw players no WC

    Ryan fabs
    VvD taa pereira bennett duffy
    Haz pogs Sterling Fraser salah
    Barnes Rondon Wilson

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Not madness. I considered it for a while then decided against it. But
      it's probably the only DGW ever where it's not madnes to go without City. And if that squad comes off -and not unlikely that it could- would be a huge rank boost.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah I’m not having a great season I feel risks need to be taken

        I’d bring in Jiménez and deeney too for the dgw

        I guess it’s all or nothing

        Haz can become sterling after the dgw

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I was doubling up with sterling and KUN ..but now due to the conjusted and relatively tighter ,tougher fixtures I'm seriously considering going without City...but big chance I chicken out and atleast get one city player..But I think going without can also work well

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        I’ve seen plenty teams do well without them and aside from Kun the city attackers have failed to return over dgws

  9. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Ryan
    Duffy Dunk Robertson
    Sterling Eriksen Son Mane Jota
    Aguero Jimenez

    Lloris Deeney TAA Valery

    Quick question:
    A. Robertson, TAA, Lloris
    B. Robertson, Laporte, Foster
    C. TAA, Laporte, Lloris (and keep money in the bank to bring in Robertson for 36)

  10. NUFCAndrew
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    If you could only pick one of Eriksen or Son, who’d it be and why?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Eriksen this week then Son for the rest of the season

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Son. More explosive and huge goal threat.

    Morning guys,

    Chasing a 70 point deficit in my ML so need to go for some differentials as rival is on wildcard aswell whilst trying to balance it with leading in a different ML. Thiughts on the below?

    Ryan / Foster
    Valery / Bednarek / Dohetry / Kolasinac / Duffy
    Sterling / Son / Jota / Salah / Hazard
    Murray / Llorente / Auba

    Murray will become deeney and potentially duffy to gomez week after

    thanks

  12. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Vardy or Murray for this GW?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Vardy for this GW only.

  13. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    On a WC. Team for GW 34.

    Ryan.
    Duffy. Kolasinac. Dunk.
    Sterling. KdB. Son. Eriksen.
    Aguero. Vardy. Jimenez.
    Gunn. Valery. TAA. CHO.

    For GW 35 with this team for a - 8, I can make the following moves.

    A) Sterling + Vardy + CHO -> Salah + Deeney + JWP

    B) Sterling + Vardy + CHO -> Mane + Lacazette + JWP

    C) KdB + Vardy + CHO -> Mane + Rashford + JWP

    D) Sterling + Vardy -> Hazard + Firmino

    Team seems set for GW 34, or should some changes be made on the WC?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Apologies for the long post!

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I don’t think sterling plays this weekend - with double spurs and then Utd

      Sure No one really knows but why take the -4 for a player that might not show anyhow

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        So what do you suggest?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I’d prob have Mané for a tired Chelsea - he was taken off at 70

  14. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Would you rather have Trippier or Super Sexy Dele Alli in a triple up?

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Neither

  15. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Im locking this baby in :

    Lloris
    Duffy Dunk Robbo
    Eriksen Son Sane(C) Jota
    Kun Vardy Jimenez

    (foster, Valery, TAA, Deulofeu)

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Sane(C)
      Brave. GL.

      Good team. Good to see someone else keeping Vardy for this GW!

  16. Don_Vito_Mannone
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Wildcard team:

    Ryan Foster
    TAA Boly Duffy Dunk Valery
    Sterling Mane Son Eriksen Jota
    Aguero Jimenez Deeney

    I have £1.5m ITB with the above so could turn Dunk to Vertonghen for example. I'd just be a bit cautious about his playing time so may run with the above for this week and re-evaluate ahead of the DGW.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

  17. Neetan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Llorente worth a punt?

  18. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC team? And yes, I am chasing.

    Lloris - Foster
    Laporte - Robertson - TAA - Duffy - Valery
    Sterling - De Bruyne - Eriksen - Son - Höjberg
    Lukaku - Jimenez - Deeney

    Thanks guys!

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Nothing wrong there imo. Love Lukaku as a differential for this week - will you captain?

  19. Reckoner.
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    WC active, in light of the Kane injury:

    Mane, Jota & Kane > Salah, Son & Jimenez

    1. Neetan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      looks an improvement to me

  20. ROLLING THE DICE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Son or Eriksen?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Either can return double figures it really is one of those whose day will it be decisions

      Son is scoring again tho plus might be on pens

      1. ROLLING THE DICE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Tempted by both. Can do hazard and Fraser to Son and Eriksen.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I’m considering the same but sterling and Fraser to son and eriksen

          I like haz for BUR

      2. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Son on pens? Since when?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Who is when alli and Kane aren’t playing?

          1. The 5% Team
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

            Ah Alli injured as well, didn't see that...fair enough 🙂

  21. drughi
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    So mane and Eriksen or Salah and jota ? ME or SJ ?

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years

    I blame Delph for ruining the next two days of my life

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Kane has himself to blame. Silly tackle to get into for a striker.

      1. joeydelucchi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        totally agree...he knew what he was getting into, he went into that challenge hard himself

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years

          That's why being intelligent is a bigger quality than being passionate.

    Thoughts on ings and moura?

  24. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Think i am getting close to my ideal team...leaves 2.1m itb with a view to do Sterling > Salah in gw36

    Lloris • Foster
    Kola • Doherty • Valery • Duffy • Dunk
    Eriksen • Son • Sterling • Pogba • Redmond
    Auba • Murray (who will become Deeney in gw35) • Jimenez

    other considerations
    - worth getting Aguero over Auba....that way i will have alteast 1 city players from gw36 if i take out sterling > salah
    - not sure on gk...worth swapping Lloris + Valery >> Gunn + Trippier

  25. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Best transfer? Or save?

    Transfer out:

    A) Pogba
    B) Sane
    C) Hazard

    Transfer in:

    1) Son
    2) Eriksen
    3) Mane

    1. azz007
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Sane > Son

  26. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Wolves triple? Too much?
    Doh, Jota, Jiminez.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      no 2 good home fixtures in dgw 35 followed by wat FUL

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Fantastic point. Thanks. And they are out of FA Cup.

  27. azz007
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    With Kane out, Kun and Sterling not sure of starting the weekend, WC plans all over the show.

    who are now the best options? for 34, 35BB.

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Kun and Sterling will start. City can't afford to slip up

      1. azz007
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        i think one of the two are certain.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Why are Kun are and Sterling not sure of starting?

  28. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Do you reckon Alli will be fit for the weekend?

    Struggling to find any news on him

  29. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    New draft after kane injury.

    Ryan
    TAA Kolasinac Duffy
    Sterling Eriksen Son (C) Jota
    Aguero Jim Murray

    Subs: Foster Valery Doherty Deulofeu

    GW35: Murray -> Deeney
    GW36: Eriksen -> Salah (TC)

    Could go with Laporte over Kolasinac. But that would be at cost of Salah. Not sure City will get that many CS anyway and Kola also offers a decent attacking threat

    Input very much appreciated

  30. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Ryan - Foster
    Robbo - TAA - Duffy - Doherty - Valery
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Jota - JWP
    Aguero - Jimenez - Deeney
