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?

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      What an awful top of the page post lol.

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      He was above 90 all day long I think.

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      yeah, seems like a weird reset

    4. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      Im not liking it anymore.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

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

      GW34 looks like a trap.

        this 🙂

      Kane-less. 😛

    4. Amey

      Look below mate 😉

    5. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      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, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      I’d get Liverpool defence

  5. kime67
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Getting son looks pretty obvious now.

  6. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

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

    a mammoth 67

    crazy.

  7. rohan
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      kdb is a ’stupid’ punt.

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        ^I agree

        1. FPL_ UP_Down
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I’m going with KDB ! I like that punt

  8. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      Id probably invest it to get Robbo over TAA.

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      TAA> VVD

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Or Laporte

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Nice team FJ 🙂

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Very good

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Robbo over Taa

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

    6. MillsAU
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      B

  10. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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! 🙂

      very nice

      Excellent Team

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Cheers mate!

        Thoughts on Salah v Eriksen for the next 2?

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I would keep Salah vs Cardiff

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      As strong as it gets imo

      I have the same but Lloris instead of Ryan

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks mate!
        Little short on cash for Lloris.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

        Thanks Amey!

        Thoughts on Salah v Eriksen for the next 2?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I'd take Eriksen in a heartbeat 😉

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

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

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Can you stretch TAA to Laporte? Lovely squad

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks mate!

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

    6. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Views on my team above?

  11. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    deemed or jimenez?

    1. buzzkill
      • 8 Years

      deemed

  12. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Thank you mate 🙂

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

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

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

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

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

                I like Taa.
                Rotation is too much thought about imho

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Very good too

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

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

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

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

            Thank you 🙂

  14. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

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

  15. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    A) Boly Duffy Holjberg
    B) Jonny Dunk JWP
    ?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      A

  16. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

  18. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      I am currently

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

        both strikers tho, who would you get in mid?

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

        Jimenez - Vardy - Firmino?

    3. Max City
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

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

  19. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      I agree, but only for Huddersfield.

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      taa for robertson, had a rest yesterday

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

    Already have Aguero and Son....

    A) Eriksen
    B) Sterling

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

      b

  23. Reckoner.
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      Ryan is the only other one to consider

  25. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

      Will Murray play the 2 games

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days 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, 11 days ago

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

          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
