FPL Question Time – Consult our panel after Kane injury

936 Comments
Share

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.

    So in the 4 games Llorente started when Kane was out he managed an average of 75 mins and got himself:

    1 goal
    3 assists
    1 own goal (but how often do they happen)

    At 5.1m, that is amazing value

      But that's while Son was away too, when Son was back from Asia cup he didn't always play with Son filling in up top.

      I don't really like double Pool defence because:
      A) they've not been as solid recently
      B) it hamstrings you for GW36 when I think everyone will want an extra Pool attacker.

          He’s not one dimensional. Pep has praised his brilliance this season, however, he also takes issue with his attitude and ability to go missing in games. Provides speed, power, assist potential and free kicks.

            He's not Pep type player that's what i think.

            That's why he keeps him out for so many games.

            Even Mahrej is better suited to his style.
            That's what I feel though.

              Hm maybe not a Pep type player in that sense but he's a top player for sure. I think he's better than Sterling to be honest - while Sterling is fantastic he is the beneficiary of Pep's system.

    Is Agüero and Sterling jointly essential now? The logic behind the question is, if we accept that Kanexit limits potentially explosive DGW players to Agüero and Sterling, does that mean that we now have to acquire both and a "Kane + Sterling no Agu but other City options such as a double defence or KDB/Sane" strategy no longer works. Are we now forced into the template?

      I’m considering losing one of them. They are explosive no doubts, but what’s the chance that one or both just play one game during the DGW. And hardly easy fixtures either.

      And one or both might even be rested for CPL this week too.

        My pre-Kanexit idea was Sterling-KDB-Ederson or Laporte. Now I feel I cannot do away with Agüero and then Agu/Sterling/KDB becomes frightening. I also believe in KDB but avoding Sterling; is that really possible. I guess I will have to calculate.

      KDB situation reminds me a bit of the Pogba post-Mou.
