Kane and Son in superb form ahead of more appealing FPL fixtures

On a weekend of eyebrow-raising scorelines and impressive away victories in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur delivered arguably the most exhilarating display of Gameweek 18 at Goodison Park on Sunday.

While Crystal Palace and Leicester City have strong claims for “result of the week” with their wins at the Etihad and Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Spurs’ swashbuckling attacking exhibition – like Manchester United’s in South Wales – caught the eye from a Fantasy perspective.

Everton had taken only one point from five previous meetings with “big six” clubs in 2018/19 but the magnitude of Spurs’ victory was totally unexpected, with Mauricio Pochettino’s troops making light work of a side that had previously been beaten only once on home soil this season.

Anyone who owned one or more of Spurs’ front four would have been rewarded with FPL points, as Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen all got on the scoresheet in the same game for the very first time.

An injury to Alli slightly soured proceedings, but as we will discuss below, the problem doesn’t sound too serious and his half-time withdrawal may have been precautionary in nature.

We’ll also round up the goals, assists, manager quotes and Fantasy talking points from the highest-scoring Premier League match of the season so far.

Everton 2-6 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) | Son Heung-min (£8.5m) x2, Dele Alli (£8.9m), Harry Kane (£12.5m) x2, Christian Eriksen (£9.3m)
  • Assists: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m), Richarlison (£7.0m)| Harry Kane, Son Heung-min x2, Kieran Trippier (£6.1m), Erik Lamela (£6.2m)

A year to the day since Harry Kane (£12.5m) hit the first of two successive Premier League hat-tricks in a comfortable away victory at Burnley, the Spurs forward was involved in another three of his side’s strikes as the Lilywhites demolished Everton on Merseyside.

This time it was two goals and one assist, with his 15-point haul being a season-high total and his third double-digit return on the road.

Kane though was slightly upstaged by Son Heung-min (£8.5m), who became only the third player this season to score more than 20 points in a single Gameweek.

Since Gameweek 11, no FPL player has been directly involved in more league goals than Son and Kane (ten each).

Kane has delivered an attacking return in each of his last seven starts and now he and Spurs face a run of six home fixtures in the space of eight Gameweeks, starting with a Boxing Day clash against a Bournemouth side who have conceded more shots in the box than all bar Burnley and Cardiff City in the last six Gameweeks.

FPL’s most expensive striker had twice as many attempts on goal as any other forward in Gameweek 18 and even by the time Spurs fell a goal behind to a Theo Walcott (£6.2m) strike, Kane was setting his sights.

A lob that dropped wide over an advancing Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) and a free-kick fired over the top of the Everton custodian’s bar preceded the game’s opening goal, before he twice missed the target either side of Son Heung-min‘s (£8.5m) leveller.

Kane played a big part in that goal too, with his optimistic through-ball being pounced on by the Korean midfielder when Pickford and Kurt Zouma (£5.0m) made a complete hash of clearing it.

Dele Alli (£8.9m) then stabbed home Spurs’ second goal when Pickford parried Son’s shot before Kane finally got in on the act, showing predatory instincts to react when Kieran Trippier‘s (£6.1m) free-kick struck the upright.

Kane doubled his tally after the break when sweeping home an excellent Son cross.

No player on show at Goodison could match the England striker’s total of nine penalty box touches and this was more of a “Kane of old” performance – though with the now obligatory dropping deep thrown into the bargain.

It’s perhaps no surprise that Kane shone when playing alongside Son, Alli and Christian Eriksen (£9.3m), his regular comrades in attack last season who have so seldom been played together this season.

Son is in the middle of a purple patch of his own, with his confidently taken two goals – his second being teed up by substitute Erik Lamela (£6.2m) – indicative of his current hot streak.

Playing alongside Kane and occasionally in advance of him, Son made more final third touches than any other Spurs player on Sunday afternoon and only trailed his premium colleague by one penalty box touch.

Son is still available for another four Premier League fixtures before he heads off to the Asian Cup, so there is certainly plenty of mileage left in him ahead of his departure after Gameweek 22.

Eriksen and Alli’s excellent contributions were perhaps not as noteworthy from an underlying stats perspective but each left Merseyside with a goal – the Dane’s strike being a superbly hit shot from just outside the box after Kane’s cross was headed clear.

As we mentioned earlier, Alli was hooked at half-time after aggravating a hamstring injury in a challenge with Pickford – though Pochettino allayed fears of the severity of the problem in his post-match presser:

I didn’t see [Pickford’s tackle]. I am very curious to see the action. I think it wasn’t a great action. I don’t want to say nothing as I didn’t see on the video, but for some comment, I think was a tough action.

We will see if it’s an issue. I think he’s tired and tight in his hamstring. We hope it’s not a big issue.

Even if Alli recovers from the setback it may well be that he isn’t risked for the visit of the Cherries in Gameweek 19, with the former MK Dons midfielder having started five matches in the space of 15 days.

Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) also limped off late on, meanwhile.

While there wasn’t to be an eighth clean sheet of the season and the Spurs backline didn’t look particularly convincing in the opening exchanges, Trippier was once again prominent in attacking positions: setting up an early chance for Kane, testing the reflexes of Pickford from inside the box and striking the post with a free-kick, all within the first half.

Everton had initially caused problems for Spurs, with Richarlison (£7.0m) spurning a presentable early headed chance and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m) having a goal perhaps harshly disallowed for a push with the score at 1-0.

Calvert-Lewin, who led the line again after his goal at Manchester City last week, had earlier teed up Walcott for the game’s opening goal.

Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) at least handed their owners a consolation attacking return, with the Brazilian perhaps fortunate to claim the “assist” for his team-mate’s superb solo goal early in the second half.

Neither player really shone on an afternoon dominated by their opposite numbers, while the less said about the Everton defence the better.

Lucas Digne (£5.0m) got forward to deliver a few crosses and was perhaps the least atrocious of the back five from a defensive perspective, with Pickford, Zouma and Seamus Coleman (£5.2m) having dismal afternoons.

It is now five fixtures without a clean sheet for Marco Silva’s troops, though admittedly three of those games were against members of the “big six”.

The Toffees sit top of our Season Ticker for the next six Gameweeks, at least, so can expect easier tests in the coming month.

The loss of the influential Andre Gomes (£5.4m) could be significant, though, with the Portuguese midfielder limping from the pitch early in the second half.

The Liverpool Echo reported that the on-loan Barcelona star damaged his knee in Sunday’s encounter, though no update has been forthcoming from the club.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne; Gomes (Schneiderlin 53′), Davies; Richarlison (Bernard 75′), Sigurdsson (Tosun 83′), Walcott; Calvert-Lewin.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-1-2): Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Sissoko (Moura 83′), Winks, Eriksen; Alli (Lamela 46′); Son (Skipp 79′), Kane.

    I have 2 FT to use with this team, no idea what to do, 0.4 ITB -

    Fabianski
    AWB Doherty Digne
    Sterling FAnderson Sané Richarlison
    Kane Auba Jiminez

    (Button, Kola, Fraser, Shindler)

    1. MgM
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      hop on the United train, chuuu chuuuuuuu.

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I would like to, but I don't see an obvious way

        1. MgM
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          actually you're right, your team looks solid and nothing I'll personally change. Perhaps one of Sterling/Sane to a United player (good fixtures as reason)?

          1. Number 5
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I was very close to doing Sterling to Martial last night. But U went against it. Sterling can explode any time, whereas Martial might get the odd goal gere and there

            1. MgM
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah, I own Sterling and I hope he hauls. Your team looks good buddy, nothing in particular that I'll personally change.

              1. Number 5
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Cheers mate!

    2. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing screaming out at me to change really. Looks good.

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I don't like to burn a FT...trying to see if there is any housekeeping that needs doing

        1. Anathallo
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Steele looks to be ahead of Button. Could move there?

          1. Number 5
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Had this debate when doing my WC and it was unclear then and seems to still be unsure who will cover Ryan when he is gone

    3. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same situation with snoddy instead of fanderson... Just waiting for wolves itk guy, if jiminez is not starting ill pull him out

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Why would Jiminez not start?

        If I could afford Rashford straight swap I would have done that. But I don't see anyone else worth it at that price

        1. Wally banter
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Dont know, just if he is rested... wolves have early kick off, and they have two immediate tough fix after this one... so if not much money is tied up a move to rash is worth a punt...but if there is no money, then leave it

          1. Number 5
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Yea I can't do Rash in one FT for Jiminez, so I have passed on him for now

      2. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Else fraser or kola to united/TAA could be a good move for your team

        1. Number 5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I only transferred out TAA last week after unsure on his injury

          I like Kola for now

          Have a lot of money tied up in Fraser too

          Sterling to Martial was the one I was most tempted y

    4. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Schindler to chambers is my only suggestion due to having a great team. Either that or don’t do anything

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I am targetting Schindler as well as my weakest link.

        I was thinking Berdernek, which frees up 0.4m. Is he nailed?

    5. Pitch Perfect
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Side looks good. I'm shifting Fraser for Spurs and Man U games. Could look at Fraser to Milivojevic/Snod... Or ship one of the City assets and fund Lingard (leaving enough itb to do Jimenez > Rashford next week when Jimenez faces spurs).

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That is an idea...I was toying with Sterling to Martial, but went against it for now

        I also have too much money tied in Fraser to let him go yet

        I think I will be going without UTD this game week.

        Hoping the other day was a one off

    6. J.Litmanen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I got pretty much that exact team, and I pulled the trigger on Sané/Fraser ---> Martial/Son

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I have too much tied in both llayer to let them go just like that

    7. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling to martial or Lingard

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Sterling to Martial is the one I am most tempted by...but I held off last night. Because of Sterlings potential.

        1. Number 5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not feeling Son yet...would rather get a Utd mid in first. Have Kane for now for Spurs cover

    8. Max City
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Add Son, perhaps?

      1. Number 5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Not feeling Son yet...would rather get a Utd mid in first. Have Kane for now for Spurs cover

      Cheer up mate.

      Things could be worse. You could be homeless and have no family over those 2 days.

      Take some blankets, warm clothes and gifts to the homeless and forget football for a while. 😉

    Fabianski
    Robertson, Digne, Doherty
    Sane, Sterling, Anderson, Hazard
    Kane (c), Wilson, Jiminez
    Patricio, Kenedy, Yedlin, Schindler

    Have a few issues, particularly bench.0.1itb 2ft. Happy with a mini wildcard for a hit. Any suggestions?

    1. Numbuster
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yes. your Bench is bad to support.
      Probably Yedlin > Targett

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Sterling to Lingard and upgrade a bench player

          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          as a non-Salah owner, I hope he gets his rest in preparation for the Arsenal game.

        2. Wally banter
          • 11 Years

          60-40 call

  8. Fernando Torres

    1. Numbuster
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      only 3GW. think twice..

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No because he is going soon. It will cost you 2 transfers.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        If Alli’s injured then it’s one extra transfer and also it times nicely with when I want to get salah back

        1. Numbuster
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Good Idea.. Since Salah i also doubt over his features

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe if Alli's injured

      • Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Will Son be a sure starter next game with Alli out? Maybe time to C Son!

    4. altan8797
      • 7 Years

      sterling or salah as a season keeper?

      1. Numbuster
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        for me Salah, and Hazard

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years

        AWB & Camarasa.

      3. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Salah

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years

      So I am not planning on getting rid of Alonso, Sterling & Sane - feels like I am not moving with the times.

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I wouldn’t worry - the ManU train is headed off a cliff. :).

      2. MTPockets
          5 years, 3 months ago

          ditto

        • FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I sold Alonso and used the 6.8m to get Shaw and upgrade bench player to Martial. I can see me potentially buying Alonso back for 6.9 or 6.8 soon

          1. FPL Forward Thinker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Sane ain’t moving from my team for anyone

        • diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Too much chasing of last GW's points. Last GW (GW17), Auba, Kane and Salah were crap for blanking. This GW those three are 'essential' and Hazard and Sterling are crap.

        • EMERGING STAR
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I am with you. Keeping all three

        • Pompel
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Sold Alonso, tired waiting of waiting for his hauls whilst they concede at home against lower table teams

        • Dybala10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Keeping Sane and Alonso but I need Hazard and Sterling hasn't really paid off for me. Seems logical. Alonso hits the post every week so one of those will go in soon.

        • fenixri
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Alonso and Sane are keepers for me, Sterling not so much. I think one of Sterling/Sane is enough, there is so much options atm.

        • infamousprob
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I just don't understand why pep I resting sterling so much... Its getting me real worried.

          Alonso, sterling and sane owner also.

          I am going to give sterling gw19&gw20 and then going to bin him for hazard or kane

        3 managers doing press conferences today. Presumably there will be none tomorrow.

          You never know ha ha

      4. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I also have 2FT this week and not sure what to even do?

        Pat (Hamer)
        Alonso Robertson Doherty (AWB Bennett)
        Sterling Martial Felipe Richarlison (Obiang)
        Kane Auba Chica

        ITB 0.2

        1. Numbuster
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Chicha to Ings?

        2. Sting in the Tail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'd change Pat, Hamer or Obiang

        3. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Strong team, think you need to lose one FT bar injuries

          1. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            .. or on 2nd thoughts maybe Obiang to Camarasa

        4. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Chica out for sure - Arnie back on the bench this week possibly

        Man United

        Is the mad rush to get united players in premature? Is it fuelled by v high fan base who want a reason to have united players? 1 good performance against the worst team in the league seems like limited information for the rush there has been on here to get 1,2 or even 3 united players in.

        Or is this a new dawn post Mourinhio and everyone getting united assets now is ahead of the curve?

        Personally, 1 good game isn’t enough for me to ditch the likes of Richarlison or FAnderson so I’ll be watching united from behind the sofa this gameweek.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yep. Mad. Latter

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          It’s a new dawn, great value, attacking intent ... if you dither you will be left behind 🙂

          1. jtreble
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            “... a new dawn ...”. Those flames you are looking at isn’t the sun. :). Good one.

          2. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Non Utd fan here 🙂

        3. DMP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yep.

          Next week they will be crying when Lukaku is back and their lad get benched.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            If they keep playing like they did against Cardiff I’ll definitekt get on the bandwagon but seems to me to have all the classic FPL hallmarks of them losing their next game 1-0 with a poor performance

        4. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Those posting on here aren't ManU fans, they are at least trying to be objective. 4 reasons: new manager bounce, good fixtures, good players, cheap.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Agree to all that - but is that enough to remove the other options they already have (typically Rich of FAnd?) it’s either proactive and forward thinking or massively knee jerk.

            Also, United are the largest club in the world, they’ll have loads of fans on here.

          2. jtreble
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I would add another reason to your list: many are chasing. :).

        5. jtreble

          Hulk please.

        6. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Id been planning to invest Alonso funds somewhere at some point so I’m getting Martial as Man U attack cover and switching to 3-5-2 instead of rotating between 3-4-3 and 4-4-2

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            For me the ones to have (if you have to) are:

            Short term: Rashford as 3rd striker

            Long term: Martial - but he hasn’t done enough for me yet to remove the other options at his price range

        7. MgM
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ditched Wilson for Rashford, first United player this season. Fingers crossed.

          1. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Same

        8. DMP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Above, is an excelent example. One guy did a -8 to get three Man United players. :/

          I won’t be tearing apart my team to get neither. There’s too much risk involved with Rashford, the most transfered in.

          Martial and Pogba, are the ones that I might consider with more data.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Ye a -8 for 3 of them is madness

          2. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I dont see much problem with Rashford for next few gws, he is in form and cheap and that is why you have transfers, to bring in players that are firing. Ofcourse getting 3 utd players for -8 is madness, but to bring Rashford/Martial is reasonable imo and could pay off big

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              When is Lukaku back?

        9. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          If you look at the table, goals scored, fixtures and ask me whether I want United, Everton or West Ham attackers the answer is rather obvious.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Do tell....

      6. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Patricio, Paterson and Mitro
        To
        Allison, Pereyra and Kamara?

        -4 and switch to 3 5 2

      7. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Who to play?

        A) Fab (sou)
        B) Pat (ful)

        Gotta be A right? Hammers are much tighter away from home.

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'd play B

        2. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Should I do the good housekeeping transfer of Diangana to Camarasa or do Alli to Lingard because Alli might miss the next game? Rest of bench is Bennett and Kamara.

          1. DMP
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Fulham is not the worst game to play Bennet.

          2. DMP
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Get Camarasa.

          3. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I would do both - Kamara & Diangana is a shocking bench

            1. circusmonkey
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              So you would hit for Lingard?

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Sure, Alli may not even start next game and are you bound to get some other rotation.

                I assume you have Wolves’ Bennett & Doherty ... so the double up is a risk

              2. DMP
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yesterday, pherhapps.

        3. QUEN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          2 FT 0.3 ITB

          Only move I can think to do atm is change hamer to Steele

          Fab
          Alonso van dyke Robertson
          Hazard sane rich martial anderson
          Chico Kane

          Hamer AWB Kamara peltier

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Peltier doesn’t play so is obvious one and Hernandez got an injury and with arnie back soon then might be time to move on

            1. QUEN
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Yh peltier is klobber.

              Chico got an injury? his not flagged yet. I will shift him on once Arnies back, but that should still be a few game weeks.

              1. Pat Bonner
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Sure I read he felt his hamstring...not sure how serious. Arnie is back in training so won’t be long until he’s back

        4. Finnish Fish
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Would you swap Sane to Son? Im really tempted tbh..

          1. Wally banter
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Its a hard call mate, both are explosive on their own days... You can easily see Sane getting a massive haul in one of next two, same can be said about son

            1. Finnish Fish
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah fair enough. Also getting Son feels like chasing points. But with the form of Son & Spurs I feel like it could pay off in the next 3-4 weeks. Then maybe get Sane back...

          2. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Do you have Kane? Do you have City cover?

          3. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Without more info - answer is definitely no - keeping swapping players with similar expected points chasing last weeks points is the worst thing you can do. Just hope your premiums for a few weeks and it’ll all even out

        5. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Something had to happen. Brought in 3 United guys yesterday (-8).

          Gtg?

          Kepa
          Robertson - Digne - Kolasinac - Shaw
          Salah (C) - Hazard - Martial - Lingard - Richarlison
          Kane

          (Laporte, Kamara, Succes)

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            3 is mad... So thats why I have 3 as well. GL! 😉

          2. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            This is chasing 100%. I assume you play the lottery?

        6. Wally banter
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          So everyone is going for Salah straight after new year,
          But with Kane having a green sea of fixtures till march, the MCI guys Sane, Sterling there and Auba having decent fixs... Isn't it better to triple up on pool defence and have a premium side somewhat like this

          Lovren TAA Robbo Digne/Doh (AWB)

          Haz/Sterling Sane/KDB Richa/Fanderson (5-6M MF) (4.5 bench fodder)

          Kane Auba Ings/Jiminez

          Would love to see your views...

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Absolutely what I am thinking. Going for only double tho.

            1. Wally banter
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              I have Lovren and Robbo atm, thinking of getting TAA at a cut price of 5.1 after MCI match

              1. Finnish Fish
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah thats fine imo. Robbo & VVD with like TAA is too much tho.

          2. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            How much does that cost ?

            1. Wally banter
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              I have somewhat similar team atm with a low squad value of

              1. Wally banter
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                104

          3. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Thats the plan. Auba and Kane are in good form and Taa/Robbo-Vvd double can match Salah points in long term imo

          4. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Think you’ll need an attacking defender from at least one of Arsenal and Utd from now on

        7. Pitch Perfect
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Bottomed. 2FT.
          A. Kane + Fraser > Rashford + Hazard
          B. Fraser + Bilva > Lingard + Townsend

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            B. Never sell Kane.

        8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years

          Sterling to punish the sellers vs Leicester?

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 5 Years

            With my luck a huge possibility.

          Sterling + Laca to Kane + United Mid for -4, Yes/No?

          If yes, which mid between Pog/Ling/Martial?

          thanks!

          1. Finnish Fish

              Thank you! I did that exact move last night before price changes,but was second guessing myself this morning. Hope Pogs 3 returns last night werent a flash in the pan but I figured with all the 'rest' Jose gave him he's bound to get a lot of gametime and maybe even a Pen or two (though I know Lingard took one vs Cardiff)

                Yeah it’s a tough one, could go either way as wolves haven’t been great defensively recently. Just watching Doherty, he is like a winger!

          1FT used (Mitro > Rash). 1Ft and 0.2m left

          Fabianski
          Digne • Kolasinac • Alonso
          Hazard • Sané • Rich • FAnderson • Son
          Kane • Rashford

          (Button / Doherty / Kamara / Schindler)

          A: roll FT
          - 2FTs might be handy next gw but realistically who would I get next gw as most slots have decent long term fixtures

          B: Anderson >> Martial
          - Anderson the talisman figure
          - how did he look last game?
          - should be nailed on but West Ham could finally be reverting to mean after winning 4 consecutively

          C: Sane >> Pogba / Martial
          - concerned about his game time
          - city have 2 away games then pool
          - got a feeling city going slightly off form, hitting a bad patch

            I did B

          Anyone think sane and richarlison our for son and lingard/martial for free is a good move? Leaves me with no attacking city cover.

          Thanks everyone

            No not for me. Sane is too good value for his price and will keep on scoring so would keep him surely until Mendy is back and getting Son now is chasing points. Rich has great fixture so you might also want to keep him

            Wouldn't be selling Richarlison now with those fixtures.

            Dont sell Sane, Everton also have great fixtures coming up

          The only season keeper this year is AWB. Everyone else is replaceable.

            Add Doherty to that short list
