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?

    Arsenal have a chance to put Napoli away tonight.

    Just need to be careful of the counter-attack.

          I was surprised but clean sheet odds favour Liverpool over wolves - so stats would say start Robbo.

          Presume you are happy having 2 defensive rather than 2 offensive Liverpool from GW36?

    The above comparison of the data for Tottenham midfielders of GW1-22 vs GW23-26 is surely very biased by the fact that there were only 4 fixtures in the second interval and these fixtures were Fulham(A), Watford(H), Newcastle(H) & Leicester(H).

    Surely the improvement in attacking statistics for Eriksen, Alli, Son etc... is more down to these fixtures and not the fact that Kane was missing? Surely if Kane was present we would have still expected an improvement in their attacking statistics in GW23-26.

      My guess (it is a guess, have no info):

      Lloris
      KWP Foyth Sanchez Davies
      Wanyama Sissoko
      Son Eriksen Moura
      Llorente

      Kane is out. Lamela is not match fit. Winks only returned in the CL match so may be protected. Alli has a hand injury so may be protected.

              I have no info. But my hunch is he won't start this weekend given they have Eriksen, Son, Moura and Llorente to lead the attack.

      A because:
      1. It doesn't have salah
      2. Doesn't have a player of 100 years of age
      3. Injured player.

    Haven't seen much of a Ryan (C) talk

    + less likely to get a yellow card
    + gets save points
    - can't score

    he should be just as good a captain candidate as Duffy - right?
