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.

      Don't see the point of getting Lloris and not playing him in GW34 though.

      I've deliberately gone Lloris and Gunn so I'm not tempted to play a DGW keeper instead of Lloris in 34.

        It seems ridiculous to bench lloris in 34 v hudds doesn't it.

        Tough to know who out of laporte and vertonghen is better option.....spurs have much better fixtures.

    Why noone talks about Lukaku? He also has double gameweek. His underlying stats are the best in the last gameweeks. I am not sure whether to get him in, but there were absolutely no discussions. In the scoutcast youtube talk they had 1.5 hours convesrsations about prety much everyone but Lukaku.
    Also, Arsenal's double up Aubameyang and Lacazette should be talked as well

        Don't let people on here determine your team for you.

            I'm looking at lukaku. He was playing well and scoring for OGS before injury.

            He loves playing west ham has a double in 35 and then 2 games where he is a viable triple captain.

            Let's see what happens tonight - but ud expect him to start v west ham at weekend.

            Very much in my wildcard thoughts

    Is it worth having Lucas Digne in my week 34 wc, if that means booking a transfer in next week? (Takes's Redmond's place this week).

    Would ideally save in week 35 but I feel that Everton are the elephant in the room this week.

        Probably not but high ceiling and all that. Maybe I can stretch to KdB.
        Salah is too expensive to fit in and Mané seems to be in a dry spell. Going for Firmino as only Liverpool attacker as he seems to have hit som kind of form and is the cheapest.

          City's games aren't great either, can't see them dishing out hidings to Spurs or away at United.

          United game is probably the title decider, in that if they win that game then Liv won't catch them and if they lose its probably Liverpool's title.
