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.

    Does anyone know how many % Son was at fplstats last night?

      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What an awful top of the page post lol.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He was above 90 all day long I think.

    3. The 5% Team

      5 years, 1 month ago

      yeah, seems like a weird reset

    4. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He started the day around 71, when Eriksen was around 55.

    After last nights injury to Kane and clarification that City must win the second leg, how's your WC team looking now?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Im not liking it anymore.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Feeling a bit better that I don't have a WC to be honest.

      GW34 looks like a trap.

      Kane-less. 😛

      Look below mate 😉

      Awful. Keep ending up with about 4M in the bank and no idea how to use any of it to get a team I like.

  3. socho

    Seeing wildcard teams with full DGW players...has noone learnt the lesson?

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What lesson? Show us yours then.

      I have 2 Liverpool, maybe 3. But they're the only non DGW players I'll have.

  4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Final WC team, Hows it looking? 0.2 itb
    Lloris Gunn
    Laporte Doherty Duffy Dunk Bednarek
    Salah Sterling Eriksen Son Doucoure (Could be Deulo based on injury news)
    Vardy Jiminez Deeny

    GW 35 Vardy > Laca
    GW 36 Laca > Firminho

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd definitely suggest to get pool Defender mate.
      Like the core of the team.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jota over Doucoure & Deulo.

      No Pool def is a bit of a worry.
      Fancy them to keep more clean sheets than Spurs & City.
      Maybe downgrade Lloris and upgrade one of the defs to Robbo or TAA?

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d get Liverpool defence

  5. kime67
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Getting son looks pretty obvious now.

  6. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    just realised my bgw33 team scored the exact same as my FH32 team

    a mammoth 67

    crazy.

  7. rohan
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this?

    Foster/ Leno

    TAA/ Duffy/ Dunk/ Doherty/ Valery

    Son/ Eriksen/ Mane/ JWP/ KDB

    Lacazette/ Jimenez/ Vardy

    1.2 in the bank for Vardy and one of Son/ Eriksen to become Sterling/ Deeney or Aguero/ Jota depending on the situation then.

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      kdb is a ’stupid’ punt.

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ^I agree

        1. FPL_ UP_Down
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I’m going with KDB ! I like that punt

  8. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling to spend all the cash. 1.1 ITB.

    Ederson Ryan
    TAA Dunk Duffy Valery Doherty
    Jota Sterling eriksen Son Mane
    Aguero Jiminez Deeney

    I’m quite happy with that but feel I need to spend it all !

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Id probably invest it to get Robbo over TAA.

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      TAA> VVD

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Or Laporte

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team FJ 🙂

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very good

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

      Robbo over Taa

      Tbh I wouldn’t go with 3 Brighton - not with 6 cs

    6. MillsAU
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing team value.

      I have the same front 8 and I'm 0.2 short on your back 7.

      I'm running:
      Ryan Gunn
      Robertson Trippier Duffy Bennett Bednarek

      Expectation is Trippier goes to TAA in 36.

  9. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

  10. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

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

    Salah (CHE, car) can be Eriksen (HUD, mci, BHA) for the next 2 gameweeks.
    But ill keep the money in the bank because I dont like any other premium player.

    Cheers! 🙂

    1. kime67

      very nice

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor

      Excellent Team

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate!

        Thoughts on Salah v Eriksen for the next 2?

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I would keep Salah vs Cardiff

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      As strong as it gets imo

      I have the same but Lloris instead of Ryan

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate!
        Little short on cash for Lloris.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Like it Karan 🙂
      I'm going for Bobby instead of Salah as I'm chasing.

      But with your position, salah looks good

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Amey!

        Thoughts on Salah v Eriksen for the next 2?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'd take Eriksen in a heartbeat 😉

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I also think he has an higher ceiling over the next 2.

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Can you stretch TAA to Laporte? Lovely squad

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate!

        0.2 short of that. Got TAA for 5.1m thats the problem.

    6. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Views on my team above?

  11. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    deemed or jimenez?

    1. buzzkill
      • 8 Years

      deemed

  12. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    People seem to forget that for Spurs, they technically got their ‘rest’ at the weekend when FA cup games were on

  13. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm happy with this team:

    Lloris • Foster
    Robbo•Taa•Doherty•Duffy•Valery
    Sterling•Eriksen•Jota•Deulofeu•Son
    Kun•Jimenez•Vardy

    Gw 35 Vardy >> Deeney
    Gw 36 Deeney >> Firmino
    (If i get fortunate with Injuries. Otherwise directly Vardy to Bobby)

    Thoughts please !!

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I got a similar plan, take a look above.
      Needless to say, I like it

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you mate 🙂

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          What do you think about mine? 9/15 same, thought it was more

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Pool Defender is one I'd look to get, mate.

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah considering this but don't like TAA and strapped for cash for VVD/Robbo at the moment

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I like Taa.
                Rotation is too much thought about imho

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very good too

      Firmino is an interesting. I’m going Salah I think

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you 🙂
        I think Bobby can be the Differential i need.

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      My head has been turned from Foster to Gunn due to lack of clean sheets and Lloris likey to beat Foster and match Ryan in GW34.

      I still think TAA is a rotation risk too. Other than that GTG.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah
        I'm playing Lloris this gw.
        Foster because he has best dgw so ...

        Taa is a worry i agree. Will look into it. Actually i like the idea of double pool Defense

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Would consider Murray GW 34, with two easy games, then switch to Deeney GW 35

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

        Im probably going to do Murray to Jimi (have Deeney too), in order to block a rival. Fancy Troy at home to hapless travellers Arsenal rather than Jimi away at scrapping Southampton.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Would you © Vardy ??
          Or should i get Deeney directly ??

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you 🙂
        Was looking to © Vardy.
        So...
        Who would you © otherwise if i go for Murray/Deeney ??

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

          If i had him id captain Vardy. Second choice Erik (my probable cap), 3rd Kun.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thank you 🙂

  14. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How much did Moura play whilst Kane was out last time?

  15. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Boly Duffy Holjberg
    B) Jonny Dunk JWP
    ?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  16. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gosh darn it Kane. Most of us had put the finishing touches on the WC, and you had to go get injured.

    Kun seems the obvious replacement, but with both he and Sterling in the team, it’s looking decidedly weaker I feel. They’re probably both only going to start one of the two, and could even miss out on CPL this week too.

    Any considering Sterling > Son/Erik and just going with Kun

  17. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So who’s not on a wild card and has transferred in Kane?

  18. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else tempted to avoid City attack all together? Too much rotation for my liking, especially when there are more budget options like Vardy and Firmino who look bang in form

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am currently

      1. Samwise
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        both strikers tho, who would you get in mid?

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted but can't think of a striker to own - if Laca doesn't start on Thursday I could get him over Aguero and get Salah + Hazard, ignoring the DGW effectively.

      1. Bambi
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Jimenez - Vardy - Firmino?

    3. Max City
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      All City players, bar Aguero, has trolled me all season..

  19. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Happy with the WC... not going full double game week players as the season doesn't end there. What do people think? thinking of transferring Vardy out next week

    Ryan
    Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Duffy
    Sterling, Mané, Son, Jota
    Agüero, Vardy, Jiménez

    Foster, Doherty, Valery, Ward-Prowse

  20. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I really think Llorente is a dead cert to play vs Huddersfield at only 5.1. Could be such an enormous differential

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Huge differential. But won't Play both games in 35. Too slow to put pressure on the City players.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I agree, but only for Huddersfield.

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

        Im reluctant to captain Son this week because of this, he will be rested im sure. Going with Erik.

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    New draft after kane injury.

    Ryan Foster
    TAA Kola Doherty Duffy Valery
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota Deulofeu
    Aguero Jim Murray

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

    Input very much appreciated

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      taa for robertson, had a rest yesterday

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Like Murray GW 34 and Deeney GW 35. Also goinng Eriksen to Mane GW 36 as I keep Salah on WC

  22. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Already have Aguero and Son....

    A) Eriksen
    B) Sterling

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b

  23. Reckoner.
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    WC Active:

    Ryan | Foster
    Robertson | Kolasinac | Valery | Bednarek | Bennett
    Salah | Sterling | Son | Ward-Prowse | Camarasa
    Aguero | Lacazette | Jimenez

    Ryan & Camarasa DGW this week, Camarasa > Hughes next week then Bench Boost with 13 DGW players + Robertson & Salah.

    Look good, any changes needed?

  24. Ron_Swanson
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Other than Dunk and Duffy are any of the other Brighton defenders sure to start the next 2 games?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ryan is the only other one to consider

  25. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I think I am down to these two choices (maybe :lol:)

    A)
    LLORIS, Foster
    ROBBO, Laporte, Duffy, DUNK, Valery
    Salah, Eriksen, Son, Jota, JWP
    Aguero, Jimi, MURRAY

    Murray > Deeney for BB35
    Spurs mid > Mané for GW36

    B)
    RYAN, Foster
    TAA, Laporte, Duffy, BOLY, Valery
    Salah, Eriksen, Son, Jota, JWP
    Aguero, Jimi, VARDY

    Vardy > Deeney for BB35
    Spurs mid > Mané for GW36

    In both options Salah could obviously be Sterling but just nervous re obvious rotation.

    Thoughts appreciated!

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will Murray play the 2 games

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Obviously there’s a risk but he loves a home match and he has 2 (potentially) this GW vs two poor defences (BOU, CAR)

  26. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Where would you spend £1m here?

    Ryan | Gunn
    Robertson | Trippier | Doherty | Duffy | Bednarek
    Salah | Eriksen | Son | Jota | JWP
    Aguero | Jimenez | Deeney

    I was thinking Gunn to Lloris maybe, and Trippier to Trent? But then I have a spare .5 😀

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m doubling up with TAA and Robbo.... Liverpool attack so well through them that I think people are missing a trick

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Gunn to foster
      Jwp to deu

  27. Concrete

    Site much better this morning without comments from Liverpool fans about City isn’t it

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Your comment history suggests you talk about Liverpool a fair bit.

      1. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I was being flippant towards others on here with equally stupid comments..look further

          To be honest I didn't see the context 🙂 It gets a bit too much here on matchdays, take it with a pinch of salt.

    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 could do the following.

    Sterling/KdB to Salah/Hazard/Mane
    Vardy to Deeney/Firmino/Laca/Rashford
    CHO to JWP

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

    I’m surprised that there aren’t more price changes going on
