How Kane injury affects best midfield options for second Wildcards this weekend

863 Comments
Share

Fantasy Premier League managers now have plenty of money to spend on their midfield for their second Wildcards.

With an injury to Harry Kane (£12.6m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) still not really cutting it, there’s an opportunity to go for some truly pragmatic picks in this position between now and the end of the season.

We’ve taken a look at what impact Kane’s absence will have on his array of midfield colleagues, before going into detail to find the best options from all clubs in this position.

As this article uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members’ Area, only members themselves can read on and enjoy the analysis.

What effect does Kane injury have on Spurs assets?

    Ryan
    Vertonghen Doherty Laporte
    Eriksen DeBruyne Son Jota
    Vardy Jiminez Deeney

    Foster TAA Valery Ward-Prowse

        Yeah I was thinking of transferring out Vardy after gw35 but would possibly go Vardy to firminho, erikson/son/sterling to Mane, depending who was underperforming out of the 3.

        Yeah I was considering KDB and doing something similar. But I just don't want take that risk of going without Sterling.

        Your looks good too and the KDB plan could work out well I think he's almost garunteed to start on the weekend.

          I think you are on to something it’s got huge potential particularly if sterling is benched a couple of times.

          Vardy I think is the standout pick this week but hard to have him plus sterling and aguero
