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.

    Just done Deeney Sterling to Eriksen Aguero. 0.1 ITB, on WC, BB35
    Likely downgrade of Vardy to Deeney next week then...

    Lloris Foster
    Robertson Laporte Duffy Doherty Valery
    Mane Eriksen Son Pogba Hojbjerg
    Aguero Vardy Jimenez

    Essentially, means I’m going Aguero over Sterling... hmm.

      Made the same choice Re Kun/Raz. Feel good about it.

        I don’t lol.

        You sure on Kun getting more mins than Sterling?

          Never know, obviously, but over the run in, I’ll bet on Sergio.

      Very similar team to mine - I'm wavering on same choice.

      Currently I have Sterling, Jota, Deeney instead of Pogba, Hojberg, Kun.

    Is Salah dropping? One site gives -100.3 and other only -60 or something

    no one going Camarasa > JWP route?

    1. Chilli Heatwave

      Considering

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years

      Nah. Looking to do Lukaku ~> Aguero/Firmino/yada yada.

      I'd rather have 2FT after the DGW to get rid of Brighton etc.

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        how many Brighton u have?

        mine is only a keeper + Duffy, so can afford to bench after dgw

    4. Yank Revolution

      Maybe next week amongst my numerous hits

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Who would you rather have?

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

      B

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      A

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years

      gone for B myself

    What do you think about holding some money in the bank to be able to upgrade Vardy to Laca / Firmino in GW35 (or downgrade to Deeney)?

    Current draft:
    Ryan | Foster
    TAA | Laporte | Duffy | Valery | Bennett
    Sterling | Mane | Son | Deulofeu | Ward-Prowse
    Aguero | Vardy | Jimenez

    How many minutes do people anticipate sterling getting this weekend????

    Or over the DGW?

    Is it really likely to be less than Aguero?

    1. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      According to your earlier post you informed us that Sterling would get more.

  7. FDMS All Starz

    Thoughts? Would you try and for jimi in or just leave it?

    Lloris
    Duffy - Doherty - Laporte
    Sterling - Son - Mane - Jota
    Kun - Vardy - Deeney

    Subs: Foster - JWP - Valery - Bednarek

    1. yanky

      vardy > jim
      jwp > hojberg
      upgrade bednarek to robertson/trippier

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Leave it & get him in for next week

    If I'm on a WC, should I stick with Hazard and Vardy? Or should I switch them to Eriksen & Aguero? I already have Son and Sterling. It feels like such a shame to remove a pair of players who have been excellent, but they don't have the boon of a DGW

    Best Watford defender to bring in?

  10. Dee Lixon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Finally confident enough to ask opinions on my WC bunch. Have at it! 0 ITB.

    Lloris (Ryan)
    Robertson, Kolasinac, Duffy (Dunk, Valery)
    Mane, KDB, Eriksen, Son (JWP)
    Kun, Vardy, Jimenez

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years

      Almost. Not sure why you’d have sunk to bench him. Might as well swap to Watford defender with better fixtures week after. Or bench robbo

      1. Dee Lixon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Good point, thank you

    2. Sun Jihai

      Looks nice - no Watford?

  11. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Messed up on Kane.
    A) -4 Luiz to Duffy. Captain Duffy
    B) -8 Kane to Laca. Captain Laca?
    C) -12.Gulp HudsonO to Son. Captain Son

    How far do I need to go?

    1. DandyDon
