FPL pre-season: Kane and Son combination strikes again

Harry Kane (£11.5m), Son Heung-min (£12.0m) and James Maddison (£8.0m) were amongst the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) names in action on Saturday as more pre-season friendlies were staged.

RANGERS 1-2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

  • Goals: Harry Kane (x2)
  • Assists: Son Heung-min (x2)

Match highlights

A quickfire second-half double from Harry Kane was assisted by – you guessed it – partner Son Heung-min on Saturday afternoon.

For FPL managers, Gameweek 1 will be an uneasy watch without at least one of the Spurs’ premium duo – the most prolific goal combination in Premier League history.

They enter a home match against Southampton in prolific form, with both assisting once and netting twice in the 6-3 win over Team K League before Son set up Kane versus Sevilla. It happened twice more at Ibrox.

It ensured the north Londoners won the Walter Tull Memorial Cup and remain unbeaten in their first summer under Antonio Conte.

“I’m delighted because I have seen good intensity, I’ve seen many situations that we are trying in the training sessions, the pressure was good. For sure, especially in the first half, we created many, many chances to score.” – Antonio Conte

Six new faces took part, with all but Richarlison making their first appearances in a Spurs shirt. This includes Djed Spence (£4.5m), Clement Lenglet (£5.0m) and Ivan Perisic (£5.5m).

Having said that, the £60m signing from Everton played second fiddle to Dejan Kulusevski (£8.0m), ahead of his opening weekend suspension.

Meanwhile, Conte persisted with his new idea to convert Lucas Moura (£6.0m) into a right wing-back, just like he did to Victor Moses and Perisic. He came on for Emerson Royal (£5.0m) at half-time.

Tottenham XI (3-4-3): Lloris (Forster 71′); Romero (Tanganga 82′), Dier (Rodon 66′), Sanchez (Lenglet 71′); Emerson Royal (Lucas Moura 46′), Hojbjerg (Sarr 82′), Bentancur (Bissouma 46′), Sessegnon (Perisic 60′); Kulusevski (Richarlison 60′), Kane (Spence 71′), Son (Bryan 71′)


DERBY COUNTY 1-3 LEICESTER CITY

  • Goals: Kelechi Iheanacho, Patson Daka, Callum Wright
  • Assists: Timothy Castagne, Nampalys Mendy, Youri Tielemans

Match highlights

PRESTON NORTH END 1-2 LEICESTER CITY

  • Goals: Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes
  • Assists: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (x2)

Match highlights

The Foxes played two fixtures on the same day, each with a strong line-up that showcases their squad depth.

With assistant manager Chris Davies in charge at Pride Park and manager Brendan Rodgers at Deepdale, it may suggest that the Preston North End team is likely the favoured selection for Gameweek 1 at home to Brentford.

“People may be surprised at playing two different teams but we’re trying to get as many of them through 90 minutes. We’re at this stage where we have to keep building the fitness levels. I’m really pleased. In the first half, some of our football, the speed of our game and the tactical idea of the team was very, very good.” – Brendan Rodgers

This would solidify James Justin (£4.5m), Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.0m) as good picks, whilst Timothy Castagne (£4.5m) and Caglar Soyuncu (£4.5m) need to work their way in.

It brought a third pre-season goal for both Barnes and Patson Daka (£6.0m), with Jamie Vardy (£9.5m) rounding the Preston goalkeeper to notch his second of the summer. His 15 league goals of last season arrived in just 1,823 minutes and the 35-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down.

Vardy is currently on less than five per cent ownership, so could be a fantastic early differential.

Leicester XI vs Derby (3-5-2): Stolarczyk; Amartey, Soyuncu, Vestergaard; Castagne, Ndidi (Mendy 62′), Tielemans, Praet (Choudhury 77′), Thomas; Daka, Iheanacho (Wright 83′)

Leicester XI vs Preston (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel (Iversen 63′); Pereira, Fofana, Evans, Justin; Soumare, Dewsbury-Hall; Albrighton (Perez 63′), Maddison, Barnes; Vardy


LUTON TOWN 1-1 WEST HAM UNITED

  • Goal: Tomas Soucek
  • Assist: Aaron Cresswell

Match highlights

The second goal in two matches for Tomas Soucek (£5.5m) was pegged back in stoppage time, as West Ham had to settle for a draw. He headed home a cross from Aaron Cresswell (£5.0m), who was playing as the left centre-back in a three-man defence.

The 3-4-3 chosen by David Moyes had no orthodox striker until Michail Antonio‘s (£7.5m) second-half appearance.

Antonio started the last FPL season on fire but had a notoriously bad record afterwards, so the imminent signing of Italian international Gianluca Scamacca will severely restrict his appeal this time around.

Summer transfer Flynn Downes (£4.5m) made a cameo appearance, with Nayef Aguerd (£5.0m) forced into ankle surgery following last week’s Rangers friendly.

West Ham XI (3-4-3): Areola; Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell; Coufal, Soucek (Downes 83′), Rice (Coventry 75′), Masuaku (Ashby 64′); Benrahma (Antonio 46′), Fornals (Vlasic 46′), Bowen (Lanzini 64′)


WATFORD 0-0 SOUTHAMPTON

Match highlights

Ralph Hasenhuttl is also experimenting with a three-man back line and continued with it in the goalless draw at Watford.

Armel Bella-Kotchap (£4.5m), the 20-year-old signing from Bochum, was in defence, with Joe Aribo (£5.5m) and Romeo Lavia (£4.5m) joined in midfield by James Ward-Prowse (£6.5m).

“As a striker, he has more freedom for what he can do. He was driving with the ball. It’s not so dangerous when he loses it because you have enough players to defend. I like this position for him.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl on Stuart Armstrong

What may get FPL attention is the words of Hasenhuttl regarding bargain midfielder Stuart Armstrong (£5.0m) being used up front. Should Southampton not make a major forward purchase after youngster Sekou Mara’s arrival, perhaps Armstrong could be an option.

Southampton XI (3-5-2): Bazunu; Bella-Kotchap (Lyanco 46′), Bednarek, Salisu; Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse (Diallo 64′), Djenepo, Aribo (Romeu 70′); S Armstrong (Elyounoussi 70′), A Armstrong (Adams 46′)


UNION BERLIN 1-0 NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Forward Taiwo Awoniyi (£6.0m) made a quick return to Union Berlin, who he helped finish fifth in last season’s Bundesliga, but was unable to score in this Nottingham Forest defeat.

Lewis O’Brien (£5.0m) played his first minutes in a Forest shirt, with new additions Harry Toffolo (£4.5m) and Neco Williams (£4.0m) starting in wing-back positions.

One of the game’s most-selected forwards, bench fodder Lyle Taylor (£4.5m), was involved again and has now appeared in all five of Forest’s summer friendlies. Whether he can offer game-time in 2022/23 is still up for debate, however, with recent reports suggesting he was surplus to requirements.

Star signing Jesse Lingard (£6.0m), not involved here, will most likely fit in as the playmaker behind two forwards in Steve Cooper’s 3-4-1-2 formation.

Nottingham Forest XI (3-4-3): Henderson; Worrall, Cook (Niakhate 46′), McKenna (Mbe Soh 76′); N Williams (Biancone 76′), O’Brien (Cafu 62′), Colback, Toffolo (Laryea 76′); Johnson (D Taylor 76′), Awoniyi (Hammond 69′), Mighten (L Taylor 60′)

      I want to see how Wolves look at the start of this season. They finished really poorly last season.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years

        They do have leeds and fulham which tempts me a lot.. if they will get a CS its surely there

    2. DelPiero10
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Not even a little bit, tbh.

        1. jay01

          Any other 4.5s you prefer

          1. DelPiero10
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Probably one of the Arsenal 4.5m's but it's not that much of a stretch to Gabriel.

            What helps you differentiate between the two

          Him or Jonny could make it for me...

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Form at back end of last season, RAN form mixed. Nailed while Semedo out and can play either side

        4. Whiskerz
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          In my current draft. Him and Justin are the standout 4.5s imo

      • Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Doherty likely to start GW1?

        1. Thomas Jerome Newton
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Ask again a couple of hours before kick off.

      • Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        My favourite Salah-less draft:

        Sanchez (Steele)
        TAA Cancelo Robbo Gabriel (Neco)
        KDB Bowen Martinelli Neto (Andreas)
        Kane Jesus (Plange)

        0.5 itb (any suggestions?)

        What do you make of this team? I've been more or less set on it for a while now.

        1. tyiocoyg34

          This is a great team tbh ...

            Medium at the back

            1. The Overthinker
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Mmm. Why

          • tyiocoyg34
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Walker and Zinch. a little bit risky 🙂

            1. The Overthinker
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              If cucu doesn't join city, Walker should be nailed.

              Don't see zinch not starting for arsenal. They wouldn't spent money to keep a player on bench and also zinch wouldn't have left city if not for playing time.

              1. tyiocoyg34
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                GW1 they will both start imo ... but if tierney is back he will be a risk for sure. I think the Cucu deal is happening too therefore i think its a little risky.

                Just don't Overhink it 😉

                1. Runnerboy31
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 2 Years
                  1 year, 8 months ago

                  Can I check why people are confident that Cucurella immediately walks into the team if he signs. I would have expected him to get phased in with Walker pretty nailed into wildcard?

                  Surely if Tierney is back Zinchenko just moves into midfield - he wouldn’t have joined to be a backup

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          anyone have an idea how solid the Newcastle defence was under Howe? keep looking at that first Newcastle game as a 2/3-0 kinda game but is it possible that JLingz and co tear them a new one?

          1. tyiocoyg34
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I wouldn't be affraid ... i think newcastle will have a good year

            2nd half of last season: 20 goals conceded in 19 games (5th in league). 7 CS.
            xGC 23.89 (also 5th)

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years

              nice, thanks for that!

            Very solid. We improved massively once Howe came in.

            We've also added Botman and in particular Pope, who will really make a difference in place of Dubravka

          4. riot

            • 13 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I think we can keep Forest out but I think there's better value in Arsenal, Leicester and Villa for the same price over the course of the season. Our defence is still half Championship and half new signings at the end of the day

            1. Batman1983
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              None of our defence is championship.

              Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar / Burn, Targett is solid and amongst the Best outside the top few teams.

        3. L S P
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          A or B?

          A)
          Sanchez (Steele)
          TAA-Cancelo-Zinchenko-Trippier (Neco)
          Salah-Diaz-Mahrez-Neto (Andreas)
          Haaland-Jesus (Archer)

          B)
          Sanchez (Steele)
          TAA-Robbo-Cancelo-Zinchenko (Neco)
          KDB-Diaz-Mahrez-Dasilva (Andreas)
          Kane-Jesus (Archer)

          (Haaland could be Kane in A. Zinc/Dasilva could be 4.5/Bailey in B.)

          Cheers.

        4. InTommyWeTrust
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Do we all see Saka regressing or just continue to get better? Struggling to make sense of the ownership numbers between him and Jesus

          1. L S P
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            he's going to get better but Jesus is on a tear in pre-season thus %

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I think he will improve. He was bang on with his xG last season if I remember correctly.

            1. InTommyWeTrust
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I agree. 179 points last year and with slight improvement could join the 200 club which will be some going for Jesus. Also, two 8 mil mids seems a better fit for options with loads around that price. Jesus at 8 seems to be a two transfer out if the plans don't work for either.

              It's that huge ownership that is the problem for me

              1. Ser Davos
                • 8 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                Perfectly summarised

          3. DelPiero10
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Regression starts at 250k a week everyone knows that

            • Fish up a tree
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              He’s still only 20 & only going to get better & playing with Jesus can only improve his output

              1. InTommyWeTrust
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                So both from the start?

            • lugs
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              he'll get better, but he might suffer more rotation with better players there this year, but that won't kick in for a while so i wouldn't worry about it until the schedule gets busier

            • UnluckyXI
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Jesus better points per game per mil than Saka.

              Think Jesus should maintain or improve given more consistent game time.

              Saka good at but there's other 8.0 mid options and Jesus gives flex to other Fwds

            • Arteta
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I think that Saka is gonna become even better player and could get 200 points, if he stays fit for the whole season. Jesus has huge ownership comparing to him because he seems to be one of the most obvious picks in the game. They've made a mistake and underpriced him.

              1. InTommyWeTrust
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                Is the boss playing both of them?

            • DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              well I don't think he drinks, he's religious and has a great mindset so I think he'll only get better.

              He doesn't have the distractions other English youngsters seem to be blighted with. Just need Arsenal to tie him down to a big contract.

          4. TanN
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Gone with no Salah to create an 11.5 forward spot for either Kane or Haaland...

            Meslier | Pickford
            Trent | Cancelo | Chilwell | Cash | Zinchenko
            12.0 | L.Diaz | Rashford | Neto | Andreas
            11.5 | Jesus | Greenwood

            Subs would be:
            Pickford, Neto, Andreas, Greenwood

            (So a 5-3-2 formation)

            12.0 - KDB or Son
            11.5 - Kane or Haaland

            1. McSlu

              KDB and Kane

              I would go for a No-chillwell instead of a No-salah 🙂

          5. McSlu
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Salah-less I know, but its temting!

            Meslier
            TAA, James/Chil, Robbo
            Mahrez, maddison, martinelli, grealish (think he will explode this year with Haaland)
            Darwin, Kane, Jesus

            4.0, Jonny, neco, andreas

            What do you think?

            1. tyiocoyg34
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Grealish is kinda tempting with sterling leaving as well. Just curious if he will play alvarez as a winger ?

              1. UnluckyXI
                • 6 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                Doubt Pep will play Alvarez & Haaland at the same time given lack of game time together and PL experience.

                Expect Alvarez to be eased in as a sub and early cup stages

                1. tyiocoyg34

            Tinker 2.0 - on the thesis that points are in the midfield and value in defense. Thoughts?

            Sa ()
            Trent Cancelo James Konate (N Williams)
            Salah Son Grealish Rashford Martinelli
            Jesus () ()

            Previous feedback was Kane instead of Son, but arguably midfielders outperform strikers all things being equal. Any other reflections on this team?

              Love the mid. Will Grealish get the minutes?

                I’m on Kane personally, for the Haaland optionality. I agree Son has a great likelihood of out scoring Kane.

              Good looking team man. I think I would go Diaz over Grealish.

              Strong!

              Maybe Sa to a 4.5, Konate to a 4.5 and Rash to Sancho? Don't trust Konate's minutes.

              Or James to a 5.0 (Zink/gabriel, walker etc), sa to 4.5 and Rash to Diaz/maddison/Mount/Mahrez/Kulu...

            Think I'm pretty settled on my premiums combo of Salah, KDB, Kane and of course TAA in Def. Been stung way too many times on new players to the league. Thinking about my route into City def:

            a. Cancelo, Digne Longstaff, Sanchez
            b. Chilwell, Dalot, Bailey, Ederson

              Great. Keep an eye on Haaland. I am not sure whether he'll be starting the first game. Thoughts?

              1. DannyDrinkVodka
                • 4 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

              I would love Walker to be nailed. I think he starts wk1 but likely gets rotated. They've got some bright youngsters coming through and its no secret are shopping for a RB.

              1. DannyDrinkVodka
                • 4 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                Yeah, but he’s also less likely to come on for a cameo and I would be happy with that kind of rotation

            Does Mahrez get enough minutes, and have enough goal involvements, to make him a viable pick? What are your thoughts?

            1. lugs
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              i'd love to have him, but he can score a hattrick one week then get dropped for the next 3, so too frustrating to own for me

            2. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I'm really torn between Grealish, Mahrez and Foden. Maddison, Mount and Bowen good options too.

                • 6 Years

                i think bowen is a little bit overpriced ... he would have more % at 8.0

                Going with Maddison at the moment

            Ederson
            TAA - Trip - Zinch - Cash
            Salah - KdB - Neto - Bailey
            Kane - Jesus

                Cheers, was set on a more balanced, template squad and still might - but this is very tempting. Saves me worrying about the Kane > Haaland transfer for GW2

              Very nice threemium!

              A perfect mix of Liverpool/City/Arsenal/Spurs attack.

                Cheers, it doesn't even feel like I've compromised much on defense either now that there are question marks over the value on Chelsea defenders. If Neto and Bailey can get the odd haul - this is very tempting

                1. tyiocoyg34
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 8 months ago

                  Yeah exactly ... although i think Chelsea will get their sh*t togheter in the first few gameweeks.

                Cancelo, James, Diaz, Martinelli

                  No City defense is what I like least about my threemium - hopefully Ederson will make up a chunk of Cancelo's points.

            Playing around with RMT, this is the highest scoring team I have found (375 over first 6 GWs).

            Ederson
            TAA Robbo Cancelo James Chilwell
            Salah Kulu Mahrez Martinelli
            Jesus

            Gazzaniga Bailey Taylor Greenwood

            Looks pretty insane, however relies on 1) Mahrez minutes and 2) Kulu continuation of past season form and Richarlison not eating into game time.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Kulu overperformed his xG last season by quite a margin. There are better options at 8.0m imo.

              • 6 Years

              The double up Chelsea defense doesn't look too tempting atm

              • 8 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I think this formation and setup is clearly optimal, with one mid-priced striker and one premium captain option - so it should do really well

              The current RMT projections really overvalue Mahrez's xMins IMO. I do agree with the models that onemium is good.

            She is TAA-less,she is Mo-less,she is not the best,she is not the worst.Your thoughts please.

            Ramsdale - 4.0
            Cancelo - VVD - Matip - Botman - Kilman
            KDB - Diaz - JWP - Saka - Andreas

              I would stay away from Matip, Konate may play more league games this season. The rest is good, different from the template. I like it.

                • 3 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                True, his is good but I don't like Ederson or Neto and want a Liverpool triple up

                1. Cheeky Onion
                  • 6 Years
                  1 year, 8 months ago

                  I like Neto in the 3mium as he has secure game time than Bailey/Martinelli which will be important from your enablers. Bailey/Martinelli is high risk/high reward that could be a masterstroke though

                Robbo > Trippier can get me from Martinelli > 8m if one of them explodes. Happy to wait and see for now

            Assuming Ronaldo exits, who is the better asset to start the season - Rashford or Martial? Feels like it has to be Rashford due to price and position......

              • 12 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Martial (based on form)
              Rashford (based on price)

            2. Klaren
              • 6 Years

              Martial looked better in preseason so far.

            1] VVD + Ederson
            2] Robertson + Ramsdale

            What you prefer?

            There's already City defensive coverage.

            1 year, 8 months ago

            Which is better?

            a) Rashford Bailey
            b) Guimares Neto

            1. Azathoth

              A

            • 6 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Sanchez
            TAA Cancelo James Perisic
            Salah Maddison Martinelli Neto
            Kane Jesus

            Gazzaninga Bailey Greenwood Neco

            nothing special but a safe squad, right?

            1. Coaly
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I’m not sold on Perisic personally

              Other than that looks good

            Fivemium team. Thinking KDB captain. Very interesting.

            Ederson
            Cancelo/TAA/Robbo/Castanets
            KDB/Salah/Son
            Haaland/Kane/Jesus

              • 9 Years

              No Rashford?

                On the bench with Bruno

              Might be a tad over budget that

              I'd take a second mortgage on my house for that squad

              Does this team come with 5 extra chips?

              I like it.
              No Chelsea defence? 🙂

                Chelsea defence execrable at the moment.

                No but you can have this team if you get the FPL Willy Wonka golden ticket, like I did!

            How is my team looking?

            Mendy
            Chillwell, James, Taa, Tomiyasu
            Salah, Maddison, Rasford, Grealish
            Kane, Jesus

              Tomi back in training this week, played no preseason so very doubtful

              Triple Chelsea is lunacy in there current state

            Thoughts on having 4 city players with cucurella?

              Daft.

              Nice having an extra City asset, but how nailed would he be?

            Who is the best 4.5 defender to play?
            Have been switching between Dalot, Jonny, Ait Noury, White at the mo...

            Or would it be better to get Neco and bench him, and use the funds for upgrading Andreas to Bailey?

            Cheers.

            So after a lot of tinkering, I feel Salah-less offers the best all round team.

            Thoughts?

            Ramsdale - 4.0m

            Robbo - Cancelo - James - Castagne (N Williams)

            KDB - Rashford- Diaz - Odegard (Netto)

            Jesus - Kane (Greenwood)

              Leicester friendly lineups suggest that their starting FBs will be Ricardo Pereira & Justin

              • 6 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              if you leave salah out you should pick TAA > Robbo

            Thoughts on this? Kulusevski could become Saka/Mahrez in GW2 depending on how GW1 goes.

            Sanchez
            TAA Cancelo Cash Zinchenko
            Salah Diaz Kulu Neto
            Kane Jesus
            Standard fodder..

            Cheers!
