The Digest – Gameweek 30

We draw a line under the Gameweek 30 coverage by running the rule over the key player, team and talking point for Fantasy managers.

Everton’s left-back makes a welcome return to contention ahead of Gameweek 31’s reduced round of fixtures.

Arsenal finally rediscover their form just in time for our Gameweek 32 Wildcards.

Meanwhile, could a stint on the sidelines for Harry Kane prove a blessing in disguise for Fantasy managers as we reassemble our squads for the upcoming double Gameweeks?

The Player

The return of Leighton Baines for the first time since Gameweek 13 was a timely one for Sam Allardyce and Fantasy managers alike.

Proven Fantasy Premier League (FPL) royalty, the Everton left-back delivered a 12-point return in his first appearance under Allardyce, bringing in an assist, maximum bonus and a clean sheet in the 2-0 home win over Brighton.

That shut-out was, coincidentally, their first since Gameweek 20 and also came in a match where Wayne Rooney’s third spot-kick miss of the season could now see Baines re-instated as their number one penalty taker.

It also arrives at a time where many Fantasy managers are looking to play the Free Hit chip for Gameweek 31’s restricted slate of four fixtures, with the Toffees making their way to Stoke on Saturday.

With Gylfi Sigurdsson now confirmed as sidelined, Baines’ stock for the trip to the Potteries has improved further, with the full-back likely to be a protagonist on all set-pieces from here on.

Granted, the lack of a double Gameweek over the run-in dents the appeal of Allardyce’s charges, while back-to-back home clashes to follow against Man City and Liverpool hardly helps.

Yet with their final five fixtures all against bottom eight sides (swa NEW hud SOT whu), Baines could play a part as an effective differential over the run-in.

Looking back to earlier in the season, his last four league appearances have produced 32 FPL points – a sign that rumours of Baines’ Fantasy demise have been greatly exaggerated.

The Team

This time last week, Arsenal’s prospects for appearing in this section were slim to none.

The Gunners headed to the San Siro on the back of four straight defeats last Thursday evening but their 2-0 win over AC Milan, followed by Sunday’s 3-0 home win against Watford, has brought them back onto our radars.

In particular, those Fantasy managers considering a Wildcard in Gameweek 32 will now be eyeing up the Gunners’ key men ahead of a very favourable run-in.

According to our season ticker, Arsene Wenger’s side have the most appealing remaining schedule of any side once Gameweek 31 has passed.

Over Gameweek 32-35, they face four relegation strugglers (STK SOT new WHU), with a trip to Leicester also expected to join their visit to Newcastle as part of double Gameweek 34.

Arsenal’s home form, in particular, looks a key factor when assembling our new squads.

Having conceded in each of the 11 Gameweeks prior to Sunday’s win, investing in their defence remains a somewhat risky business.

In attack, though, it’s a different matter altogether. Despite their struggles over the season, only Man City (51 to 39) have scored more goals than the north London outfit in front of their own supporters.

That bodes well for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, who both supplied a goal and assist against the Hornets.

With Wenger resting Aaron Ramsey from the last two league matches as he saves the Welshman for Europe, Mkhitaryan – at 7.7 – could present the value route into Wenger’s new-look attack.

A goal and four assists in six outings means he’s played a part in 56% of the Gunners’ league goals when selected – up markedly from 32% while at Man United.

He also scored against Milan, while Mesut Ozil followed up his pair of San Siro assists by providing Shkodran Mustafi’s weekend opener.

Meanwhile, Aubameyang’s ineligibility for Europa League fixtures guarantees his pitch-time for the remaining league fixtures.

He’s now scored against Everton, Brighton and Watford, with his only blanks in five appearances in clashes with Spurs and Man City.

That record looks encouraging given he faces just one other top six team – Man United in Gameweek 37 – between now and the end of the season.

The Talking Point

After limping off in the first half of Tottenham Hotspur’s win over Bournemouth, the Harry Kane exodus marches on.

Over 210,00 FPL managers already parted company prior to this afternoon’s confirmation that the striker has been ruled out until next month with ligament damage.

Still owned by a hefty 42%, Kane’s stint on the sidelines coincides with a frustrating run of recent form that’s produced just a single double-digit haul in the last ten Gameweeks.

By comparison, his main armband rival Mohamed Salah has five sets of 10+ points hauls in nine appearances across that stretch.

That’s compounded by a schedule that hands Spurs a blank Gameweek 31 and clashes with Chelsea and Man City in the next four rounds of fixtures.

While Spurs have made no further comment on the situation, reports elsewhere suggest that Kane could be out for just four weeks.

If true, that could, potentially see him return in time for an expected double Gameweek 34, which would hand his side home matches with Man City and Newcastle.

However, you’d have to question whether he’d be fit for two back-to-back fixtures immediately upon his return to contention.

For Spurs, though, Son Heung-min’s star is on the rise as a result of back-to-back braces.

At just 8.2 to Kane’s 12.8, that saving in budget can now revitalise our squads as we freshen up our options for the upcoming pair of double Gameweeks.

Indeed, Wildcarders may even seen Kane’s injury as an advantage that they can exploit: while other managers may now have the task of moving Kane out and redistributing his funds, those with the refresh can act and immediately spread his fee to strengthen their Wildcard squads.

They can now plan their moves around any further news, with the likes of Aubameyang now seen as potential placeholders for our frontlines until Kane is fit and ready.

As mentioned in previous articles, Kane missed 49 days last season with the same injury – a similar scenario would keep him out of contention until Gameweek 36.

Should that be the case again, he can still play a major part in the run-in – particularly if Spurs clinch a place in the last four of the FA Cup.

Such a scenario would hand them a hugely favourable final three Gameweeks (WAT wba & bri LEI), with the lure of a Triple Captain chip for Gameweek 37 difficult to overlook for those trips to West Brom and Brighton.

    TEAM NEWS: Preliminary assessments have confirmed that @HKane has damaged lateral ligaments in his right ankle.

    The England striker sustained the injury following a challenge in our 4-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday and is expected to return to First Team training next month.

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      So might miss 1 or 2 gameweeks only

    2. _figu

      Welcome to my wc team, Son.

      Gonna go full Bemba everytime Spurs play. Some added entertainment value there.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Looks like he’ll back for 33-34

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      "Expected to return to First Team training next month" is very vague and covers a very long time period!

    5. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      He will return like Rose ?

    6. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      So April 1st or April 30th?

      If he comes back late April he will need 2 weeks or more to get match fit

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Probably depends on what Spurs are playing for also at the time - if they are playing for nothing there is no way they would rush him back with more than sub appearances for a couple of games.

        1. Yozzer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Good point. The fact that Poch requires fitness on another level too.lets hope Sonny can do the biz

      Tis 8njury is serious. I woulnd be surprised if he has to go under the knife this time around. Worrying for englands workd cup

      Why can't tot ever give a straight answer when referring to injuries

      1. Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Ligaments are always a tough one. Everyone heals different . Impossible to put an exact time on it

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Well maybe . But "return to first team training" is so vague. Wish they would just give an estimate. Rose was "returning to fitness" for about 9 mths

          1. Yozzer
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            Poch does lie about injuries for some odd reason

  2. liiusions

    When in Rome...

    Foster
    VVD Coleman Bauer
    Salah(c) Mane Shaq Stanislas
    King Wilson Quaner

    All for -4 😎 Got to make these gambles late on

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Noice. I'll take couple to get full XI. Chasing in ML, perfect low risk opportunity to do so.

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        60 points behind my ML leader so I think triple Bournemouth is worth the gamble for the 1 week

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Yea they could easily score plenty vs WBA. I'm 50ish behind. King Stan, probably Zaha instead of Wilson as both teams I'm chasing already have him.

  3. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Lost at the bottom:

    Anyone else buy football tops off Classic Football Shirts? Whats your favourite kit right now/all time?

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      I have a long sleeve Ronaldo Barcelona shirt from 96-97 season.

      It's my pride and joy!

  4. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Anything new about Walcott?
    And do you expect that Wilson will start vs WBA?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Sounds like Walcott will be ok and I wouldn't transfer Wilson in or out

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        I have both Walcott and Wilson. Looking to do Mkhi to Shaqiri this week but if Walcott is injured then him to Shaq and keep Mkhi. I will have to wait and see.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Wilson should start

  5. puhd
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    How is Kane? Injured?

  6. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Shaqiri or Zaha?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Shaq but either could hauls/blank

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Zaha

  7. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Current team (-4)

    Butland;
    VVD;
    Stanislas, van La Parra, Shaqiri, Salah;
    Wilson, Firmino

    Worth another hit to bring in Zaha?

  8. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Mounie or Benteke as a striker punt in GW31?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Teke

  9. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    The best solution for Kane’s return is get Kaku & Auba on WC GW32. If Kane returns by 34 it’ll be easy selling one of them for him than Firmino/Vardy.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Or just go w/o Kane rest of season

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Yup but most will want him for DGW37 if he’s fit.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Or maybe its better to WC in gw33?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Not sure if he’ll be back by then. Tweets suggest 4 weeks. GW33 is I think only 23 days away.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Which tweet says 4 weeks?

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            FFS tweet.

            Further reports suggest Kane is expected to be out for around four weeks goo.gl/s621CA

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 16 days ago

              That's from the Guardian (4 weeks)
              The Sun says a month
              RTE says 5 weeks
              Daily Mail says 6 weeks

              Anyone would think they are all just guessing!

    3. Rossaldinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Karan if you wait to GW32 wildcard to bring in Aubameyang, Kane will have dropped 0.1 and Aubameyang will have risen 0.1 at least by then. I planned on doing that but now it looks like an early transfer is better to retain squad value

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Don’t see the sense of selling him for Auba this week because he doesn’t even play this week. I would rather sell him for a GW31 striker.

        1. Rossaldinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          It depends on your wildcard plans. 0.2 could go a long way if there's a player you want and just can't get without compromise. I've taken the plunge - not worried about 4 points this week

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            Really depend on everyone’s team. I have 2 FTs and I want players who play this week and have a good chance of scoring points.

            1. Rossaldinho
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 16 days ago

              I've got 9 including a slightly dodgy Walcott - I'm happy to stick with that so squad value is more important right now

    4. Prøfeßör …
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Tweet doesn't suggest anything. More end of April, imo, so GW 36.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Further reports suggest Kane is expected to be out for around four weeks goo.gl/s621CA

        Whenever he comes back having Auba & Kaku seems the easier of getting him back.

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Agreed with the Auba and Lukaku part.

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Those "further reports" are not official tot statements

    5. Chocolate's Melting
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Kaku with 1.5m in the bank or Auba with 2.5m in the bank. Having both will stretch the budget and likely to need 2 transfers to get Kane in. I suspect he's out until at least GW36 (Tot prob blank in 35) going by 6 week recovery time for last similar injury. Will know more in a few weeks.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Agreed with your analysis but don't leave so much money in the bank, Kane in will be easily done closer to the time even with nothing in the bank.

        1. Chocolate's Melting
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Thanks, my bank will be pretty much emptied in GW33 WC. Unless Kane is training by then and likely for GW34 (even then one of the doubles is Man City).

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        If you get lukaku and auba on wildcard for gw34

        And the save a transfer for 33

        It should be possible to downgrade both of the above to Kane and vardy if Kane back for 34..

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Wouldn’t keep money in the bank for him but would like to get him back in 2 moves. So will plan accordingly.

        1. Chocolate's Melting
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Def plan for potential on GW36 - GW38. Could well be vs WAT, West Brom, Bri, LEI.

    Have read 3 news stories about Harry Kane in the last 2 minutes - one said he was out for a month, another five weeks, and the 3rd six weeks. Anticipating when he is going to be back isn't going to be easy!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      Good news for those holding TC is that he’s more than likely to be back for GW37.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        True 🙂

    3. Team Bobcat

    Sigurdsson > Zaha sound good?
    Gives me 8 players, no hits so far.

    Pickford
    Otamendi - Van Dijk - Ogbonna
    Salah - Walcott - Mahrez - Shaqiri
    Kane - Firmino - Wilson

    Elliott - Sigurdsson - Dunk - Mee

    1. fkmzcgp

    so my wacky plan is to use my triple captain on a single game week player, wildcard next week. Bench boost in 34 and then Free Hit in 37 for the 2nd double. Madness or Genius?

    My logic behind this is 1.i plan to wildcard in 32 which means planning for the rest of the remaining fixtures next week. It was hard enough planning for this blank, bringing in the form players Walcott and Wilson! who knows what mess the team will look at by 37.
    2 . this allows me to bench boost in 34 like most people will but playing the FH in 37 allows me to stock up on all the heavy hitters who are in form and when playing the Wildcard I can just focus on those in form players for DGW 34.
    3.Kane was my likely TC in 37 but if rumours are that he is now out injured until May then that has put me off him. If all goes pear shape and Kane is fit I could always captain Kane anyway in 37 so would miss out on a 1/3 of his points.

    The main sticking point is gameweek 35 as most people will be playing their free hit then. I could play my TC chip that week to stay at a pace with the rest. Arsenal are at home to West ham (aubameyang) and Liverpool are away to West Brom so great fixtures for those teams. It also means that my wildcard would need to include a lot of Arsenal, City and Burnley players. Not such a bad thing?

    Thoughts?

      Depends on FA Cup and when the DGW are.

        Exactly. I'm tempted to WC in GW32 (rather than GW33) but it's way too risky if the DGW fixtures haven't been announced.

          The DGW will be announced over the international break like they are every season?

    stupid question but I cant seem to find the Free Hit Chip..

    Will it show up after I confirm all my transfers?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years

      It is an option when confirming transfers that result in hits

    Would you go?

    DCL > King (-4)

    yay/nay

      • 11 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      If below is yes then yay

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      not for a hit for me, could come on and score bit risky

      1. Fuddled FC
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Hmm

        I think a wiser move for a hit would probably be Baines/Coleman rather than King.

    3. Gruu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Not for a hit. DCL could come and give some assist/goal

  26. n-doggg
    • 11 Years

    Is King nailed on?

      Double Bournemouth D and no Wilson.

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        with King, Defoe and Mousset not a big fan of wilson even starting, let alone scoring. I'm not trusting bou defence but i dont trust wba attack either,so i'll go with it
