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

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.

      Good to go

    2. Tronity
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly the same as mine apart from I have Kolasinac and Ward-Prowse instead of Valery and Jota.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Good luck lads

    3. Fantasydreamer
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Similar to mine - but I got rashford, JWP and Jonny over Deeney, jota and Doherty

      I’m still tempted to join the deeney bandwagon though

  3. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Ramsey should have put this tie to bed.

    MARCOS LOLONSO!!

  5. willevete
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pick one:
    A) H. Barnes
    B) Brooks
    C) Sokratis

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Blimey. This week probably Barnes.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sokratis has accumulated 10 yellows. Misses next 2.

      1. willevete
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Lol i actually knew that but forgot... thanks anyway!!

  6. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero or not. That's the question for me....

    Lloris Foster
    Robbo Laporte Doherty Duffy Valery
    Sterling Mane Eriksen Son Jota
    Vardy Jimenez Deeney

    But forward line looks a bit too weak?

  7. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jota or Doucouré (I have jimi)?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

    2. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jota for me

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks all

    Siggy worth getting on WC for 1 week for Fulham game then transfer on free to JWP?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      good punt yes

    2. Mitchstone
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think this is what I'm going to do for this week as well. I have 7.5m for the final mid-spot and Siggy is calling me for this week. I'll likely transfer to a Watford mid after though.

  10. mr messi
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Who is the best captain pick for this week?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero, Eriksen or Duffy. No idea which one I'm gonna choose.

  11. Judeksi
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I see 2 LIV players on some WC teams, are you going to play one of these during GW35 also or get them out with a hit?

    1. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Bench boost in 35

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Will use BB and keeping Robbo and Mane I think. Fixtures are good.

    3. @FPLDIARYFPL
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ehh?? Keep them both in. About as close to a guarenteed clean sheet as you can get.

  12. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    how's this WC team?

    Ryan Leno
    Valery Duffy Laporte Robertson Dohetry
    Eriksen Son Jota Camasara Sterling
    Aguero Deeney Jimenez

    will do Cam > JWP next week

    1. CAPTAIN_WALES
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Very nice

  13. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    This just crossed my mind, with Kane out for the rest of the season , what to do with Triple captain chip?

    Most manager will be using other chips in 34 and 35, so it just leaves us with 3 GW to choose a player to give the TC

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah 36.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking Salah against huddersfield

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah gw36?

    4. dvdguy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah/Mane/Firmino GW36

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Makes me kind of glad I played on Kun now as Kane was going to be other my other option.
      Most will go Salah/Mane vs Hudders

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That looks like the only fixture to use it.

        Other player I fancy is Jiminez vs fulham gw37 .

        Or maybe Auba in 37 if I bring him in

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Jimmy 35 would be my bet if people had no BB left.

  14. @FPLDIARYFPL
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So I think this is final. Any thoughts??

    Ryan, Lloris
    TAA, Van Dijk, Trippier, Duffy, Kolasniac
    Sterling, Salah, Eriksen, JWP, Camarasa
    Deeney, Jimenez, Lacassete

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Quite heavy on defence. Would do some changes to upgrade Camarasa to Jota for example.

      1. @FPLDIARYFPL
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah like defence on a dgw. Saw how much forwards rotated last time around. Hopefully my mids and forwards are fairly likely to play both.

        1. @FPLDIARYFPL
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          And Camarasa goes next week

  15. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bench right?

    Ryan
    Dunk | TAA | Peltier
    Salah (C) | Mane | Hazard | Camarasa
    Aguero | Vardy (VC) | King

    Boruc | Doherty | Fraser | Bednarek

    4 point hit taken, 0.1ITB

    Thanks

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd play Doc over Trent.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, OK

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep looks good to me

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

  16. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A- Laporte mane jota Lacazette + 0.5ITB
    B- vertonghen kdb son deeney + 1.8 ITB
    B enables me Salah in 35
    Which combo?

    1. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'll go with... B

  17. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start Rondon or Higuain?

    ryan + jwp

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Close call. I have the former

  23. Top Lad Dakes.

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Folks... thoughts on going Eriksen (double up w/ Son) over Sterling this week for that nice HUD fixture, and then having 5.9 ITB to get Aguero and/or Sterling in for the DGW?

    My thinking behind it:
    - we should have a better picture of who may start in DGWs
    - will know if city are out of UCL
    - sterling, who I do currently have, played full 90midweek - possible rest more likely than eriksen?

    Risky to go without City attack for even one week I know, but the reasons are sound enough, no?

    Full team is in comment history, won’t post here to save your eyes.

  24. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best option here? Both mids would be 8th attacker

    A Laporte JWP
    B Doherty Jota

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B tbh with ya

    2. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd go B as I've a feeling City wont keep a clean sheet in the 2 double game week games. Hoping Doherty back on form a bit

  25. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So annoying that the deadline is tomorrow. I'd love to have Friday night to tinker. Can't think straight tonight!

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years

      what is your team?

    2. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Same here - totally lost with my WC.

      Lots of options and not that many obvious picks imo.

    3. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, I'd prefer the extra time too.
      Waiting to hear about some Watford yellow flags to see who might be available.

    4. Pompel

      Stressful, yes. Got to go to bed now
