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

    Duffy Robbo Digne

    Salah Hazard Pogba McNeill

    Vardy Jimmy Wilson

    Subs Dubravka TAA Almiron AWB

    My one FT was to bring in Duffy so any more changes will cost me points.

    I am 40 odd points clear in ML but he will play WC this week and BB following week. I will play BB same week as him.

    Worry is he will go heavy on City and probably Spurs.

    Question is should I hold tight or take a hit?

    All responses very welcome. Thanks.

    Finally there on the wildcard.

    GK Lloris, Foster
    DEF Duffy, Dunk, Kola, Doherty, Valery
    MID Sterling, Son, Mane, Eriksson, JWP
    FWD Aguero, Vardy, Jiminez

    This crucially leaves .5 in bank

    GW35 Vardy to Lacazette or Deeney

    GW36 Lacazette/Deeney to Firminio, Doherty to TAA

    Looking set?

            Bang in the middle mate 😀

            I was just messing, Hughes is an interesting pick. Not sure i'd want him or Deeney after the double, seems like a transfer waiting to happen when only have 4FTs left.

    A) Lloris, Dunk
    B) Ryan, Vertongen

    Feel A is more likely to start all games, just a bit inclined to avoid spending to much on keepers.

    Also, other keeper is Foster, so Lloris is a better pick than Ryan for the rest of the season.

      Statistically TAA is the best choice. If I'm spending 5.5m to 6.5m on a Liverpool defender, I just really want them to at least start.

      Robbo gives that. TAA doesn't.

      I think TAA still plays most games. Misses 1-2 absolute max. But it's a question of when.
