Can a price drop boost Harry Kane’s FPL appeal?

Harry Kane (£11.0m) has been handed an eye-catching starting price by the Fantasy Premier League decision-makers.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker is available for £11.0m going into Gameweek 1, the cheapest he has started a season since 2016/17.

Kane’s 2018/19 ended in frustrating fashion for the England centre-forward, with two separate ankle ligament injuries forcing him to miss ten of Spurs’ final 16 Premier League fixtures.

A total of 160 points represented his lowest FPL score in five seasons as a first-team regular in north London, although 23 attacking returns was more than any of his teammates managed and his points-per-match average of 5.71 was the second-best among FPL forwards in 2018/19.

With Kane’s starting price dropping by £1.5m on what it was 12 months ago, does he again become one of the more attractive premium options in the game?

The Members’ article below delves into the data to analyse Kane’s season and ponder his worth.

    Which are the best (less bad) defender options at 4.5?

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A. Smith and Elmo for attacking point potential. Lascelles can get goals. C. Taylor and Diop best of rest

    2. Dyballer
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Fredericks has decent attacking potential and has pretty nice fixtures for the first dozen weeks

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

        Fredericks and Diop, Dunk, Ward, Taylor, Bednerak.

    3. Srv210

      max aarons maybe of norwich

  2. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Ryan / 4.0
    TAA / VVD / Coleman / Elmohamady / 4.0
    Salah / Siggy / Zaha / Maddie / Pérez
    Agüero / King / 4.5

    Pros: Well balanced (?), City attack coverage
    Cons: Ryan, Pérez

    What do you think?

      Aguero doesn't cover Sterling and vice versa.
      Decent team at this stage of preseason.

      1. sirmorbach

        4 years, 9 months ago

        Many thanks indeed, mate.

        While we're at it, one more thing if I may be so bold: would you rather have Fraser or TAA? Have King and VVD already.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          If Fraser is going to do well, it's early on. He is terrible vs the top 6.
          In a dead team, I'd rather TAA.

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years

            That settles it. Thank you so very much, matey

    Jorginho stinking this up too much?

    Ryan | (Button)
    Robertson | VVD | Laporte | Digne | (Kelly)
    Salah | KDB | Siggy | Jorginho | (Dendocker)
    Kane | King | (Wickham)

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Jorginho is stinking it up but I’m not sure who I’d drop. Maybe Jorginho>4.5, KDB>Bernardo, and Wickham>Jota/Deulofeu

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'd do Laporte-Mendy, Digne-Coleman, and either
        a. upgrade Jorginho, or
        b. downgrade him too to a 4.5 and upgrade Kelly or Wickham

        1. Srv210
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          is mendy nailed?

          1. Gold Monster
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            No

  4. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Been stuck on this one since the first day so I’m pretty happy that I haven’t had to tinker with it much.

    That being said, there’s always someone here to rip it to shreds, so have at it!

    Ederson (Button)
    TAA Robertson Digne Coleman Ake
    Salah Sterling Sigurdsson Zaha (Dendoncker)
    King (4.5, 4.5)

    IMO Pros:
    TAA+Robertson+Digne+Salah+Sterling
    Nailed MCI defense
    Everyone is nailed
    Sigurdsson

    IMO Cons:
    Crap bench
    Reliant on King
    Heavily invested in 4 teams: EVE, LIV, MCI, BOU

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I like it. Maybe Robbo/TAA to VVD, Digne to Laporte?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Hmm. I’d do Coleman>Laporte pretty happily. I think finding that extra 0.5 is tough!

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          At a stretch, maybe Robbo>VVD, Ake>Smith, Coleman>Laporte. Not sure if the first two downgrades warrant the upgrade though. I’d get Smith over Ake if I knew he’d start though.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I like it, have something similar

  5. Klein
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Currently have a bench of long hodgberg and kelly.
    Any point in having hodgberg and not 4.5 and save 0.5? Could give me flexibility for early jumps?

    1. Dyballer
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Honestly no point in Hojberg. Save the 0.5m imo, because he's unlikely to do much more than Dendoncker for example and should stay firmly on your bench anyway

  6. MillsAU
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Heaton
    Robertson, TAA, Laporte, Digne
    Salah, KDB, Sigs
    Vardy, King, DCL

    Button, Dendocker, Stephens, Kelly

    Been stuck on this for a few days. Would like to fit Sterling but haven't found a combination that works for me.

    I think the only route would be KDB to Sterling and Vardy to 7.0.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Quite a similar team to what I’m considering below

  7. Dyballer
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    RMT please

    Pickford (Button)
    Robbo, TAA, Laporte, Coleman (Fredericks)
    Salah, Siggy, Fraser, El Ghazy (Dendoncker)
    Kane, King (Wickham)

    I would be looking to do something like Fraser + Kane -> Sterling + Jota in GW4 tho

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Defence is great. Would you want to play el hazy every week though? Who’s that? (Excuse my ignorance)

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Best Villa midfield pick imo...

      2. Dyballer
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cool, yea El Ghazy is the Aston Villa winger. Might possibly be better 5.5m mids around but his fixtures are very nice for the first ten weeks ngl. I’m finding the 5-6m range for mids and fwds very lacking this year (so far)

  8. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Just realised. How is Josh Sims NOT in the game yet? He played more minutes then Slattery and Ramsey combined, and they both made in into the game. Sims should be in there.
    Sort it out FPL towers.

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

      I think today, July 1st is when squads are updated with new transfers, loans and stuff, so expect to see additions in the next day or two.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, mate!

  9. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone seriously considering going KDB over Sterling? Can build a much more balanced team overall with KDB, but not owning Sterling could be scary...

    Ryan 4.0
    Robertson TAA Digne Mendy/Laporte 4.0
    Salah Sterling Sigurdsson Zaha Dendoncker
    King Deulofeu 4.5

    Is the VERY (obviously) rough current draft with Sterling, but I can go Vardy KDB over Sterling Deulofeu, for example...

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      KDB could turn into the bargain of the season, might be prudent to have him from the beginning. I'd say him over Sterling if it somehow allows a premium striker like Aguero or Kane, but then that probably still leaves the budget squeezed.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Would you still say worth it if said premium striker was vardy?

        Otherwise, to afford Kane/ Auba I’d need to also do something like zaha digne to 6.5 lascelles... and obviously a further 1.0 needed if aguero

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

          I think your first draft but with KdB and Vardy is the strongest.
          If Mendy doesn't start, you save yourself 0.5m and get Zinchenko.
          If possible I'd upgrade the keeper but not at the expense of losing a premium defender for Lascelles.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Had another tinker and actually kind of like the team if I do:
        Digne to Lascelles
        Sterling to KDB
        Deulofeu to Vardy
        Ryan to Pickford, leaving 0.5 ITB

        If Mendy doesn’t appear to be first choice I could either upgrade to Laporte, or get digne

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Looking at it I'm not sure tbh. Tough one. I think the crowd will go with Sterling over KDB, if he fires at the start of the season it could be catch up from the start. I haven't played with my team yet so just going off the top of my head at the moment.

          1. Bad Kompany
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            IMO you should have only one of salah and sterling.

            Both are great captaincy options almost every week so you’ll rarely need to captain someone else. And even if they fire from the off you won’t likely be too behind as your other players should have outscored their other players and you could easily switch between salah and sterling if you picked the wrong one

    2. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking of this as well...

      If captaining Salah for the first 3/4 games, then KDB mightn't be too far off Sterling, 200 points season, Sterling getting around 220 -230...

      Cold then wild card Sterling in, if needed, or use transfers...

    3. MillsAU
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      As before my starting point:

      Heaton
      Robertson, TAA, Laporte, Digne
      Salah, KDB, Sigs
      Vardy, King, DCL

      Button, Dendocker, Stephens, Kelly

      I'm tinkering with Salah to Sterling which lets me buy Van Dijk in D too instead of, say, Digne.

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      The way I see it KDB is worth a punt since Son is an Easy swap from gw 3. We d all want son in anyway and Salah, Sterling, son may be a bit too much to manage

  10. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years

    Just heard that Kieran Tierney is on the verge of joining Arsenal, with the deal being 20m with an addidtional 5m with add-ons.

    My club is selling our backup left back for 17m , and somehow one of Europe's best young prospects is worth less than 10m more than that? How is Tierney not at least 35m? An absolute shocker from Celtic.

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

      He'll still be the most expensive Scottish player in history, no? It's a different financial world due to tiny TV revenues.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Still, couldnt they have squeezed more than that out of Arsenal? I'm sure Arsenal couldve payed up at least 30m if Celtic really pushed it. 20m is poor, even when you add the add-ons.
        Understand the Scottish footbal generate much less revenue, but just feel like Celtic missed out on a much bigger payday.

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

          Nobody else is in for him. That's the only way to drive up the price.

  11. Crashjct
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Here’s my attempt to have 3 captain options.

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA VVD Coleman Dunk (Diop)
    Salah Sterling Zaha Mourinho (Dendoncker)
    Kane King Janssen

    Other options I’m considering:

    A. Kane to Vardy & Moutinho to Fraser or Maddison

    B. Kane to Vardy, Coleman to Digne, Dunk to Laporte & Diop to Kelly

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you in advance

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Huge waste of money having 3 over 10 imo.

      The popular options seem to currently be either
      A. Kane sterling Wilson
      B. Salah KDB vardy

      Personally I’m considering starting with Kane and salah and than bringing in sterling in gw 3/4

      1. Crashjct
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I’m really struggling with having Kane at all. I’m not sure he’s worth it, even with the price drop. Salah, KDB, Vardy does sound like a good option.

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          If you don’t think Kane is worth it than don’t get him. Salah KDB and vardy is a very good combo imo. It also still leaves plenty of money for the rest of your team

  12. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Che Adams is close to going to Southampton. Who’s spot in the starting lineup will he be threatening and could he be a good fantasy option?

    1. MattB
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Great player, watched him twice last year, interesting to see how he adjusts to prem, not worth investing from the start but after he settles certainly worth considering
      Will keep Ings/Austin out the team I am sure

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers for the detailed response! Was looking at starting with ings as a punt but guess that’s now off the cards

  13. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Ritchie = Brunt 2.0

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      That was the first thing I thought as well. Brunt was very spotty but was pretty good for his price. Although iirc he was only 5

  14. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Which one in starting 11?
    A) sterling + dendonker
    B) kdb + zaha

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      B. Wouldn’t want to be starting dendonkey

    2. G-Whizz

      B)

    Read the news that Rabiot is also joining Juventus. How many midfielders does Juventus need?

    They now have Matuidi, Khedira, Pjanic, Can, Rabiot, Ramsey, Bentancur and Dybala(maybe only he can play on the wing) competing for a maximum of 3 spots. That's a lot of good players on the bench.

    I like what I saw of Bentancur and really hope United signs him over the likes of McGinn and Longstaff for 50m

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      McGinn and longstaff are worth nothing close to 50m. Bentancur seems like real quality and would be a good signing for them imo

      1. Coldplay
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Yes but in the current market, and especially when selling to United players are going to go over 2,3 times their actual price. Beats me why but it is what it is, which s why I want them to sign Bentancur instead.

        Unfortunately, haven't even heard a rumor or heard him being linked to any club so don't think Juve is selling

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Think he actually extended his contract recently so a move is extremely unlikely.

          Surely they can still do better than longstaff and mcginn though. Especially for 50m

  16. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    anybody looking at trossard (6.0) or Sanchez(7.0)

    trossard played well in his previous team...and sanchez i'm not sure what happens to him at man utd but for chile he turns up well everytime and at 7.0m can be great if starts firing.

    anyone thinking of these?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely won’t start will Sanchez. Don’t even expect him to start but if he plays like he does for Chile he’ll be a great option.

      I’m waiting to see how Brighton looks in preseason and who looks the most dangerous based on how the manager gets them to play. May punt on one from the start depending on how they look.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I'm looking @ United preseason to decide whether Sanchez/James/Lingard play on RW
      Don't trust Martial as he's pathetic work rate wise so can be IN/Out of the team.

    • 6 Years

    There’s finally some life in the deadzone again!!! 🙂

  18. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I think sterling is too expensive to afford. Have kane and salah
    Then it's kdb. I don't really trust him. Didn't have a good stats last year and playing CM sometimes. Siggy is much better value imo. So both of them out!
    Then I will have no city attack. Don't know what to do

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Having attacking coverage from all the big teams is overrated imo. It’s all about who scores the most

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        It's not top six it's city. Best attacking team

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I'm avoiding Kane for Sterling.
      I don't trust kane anymore for ©. Sterling on other hand is way more explosive imo.
      From premium forwards I'm trying to squeeze in Vardy in my team instead. He can be a great differential © too when having plum fixtures

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Problem with vardy is the only time you’ll captain him is when Liverpool and city have tough fixtures. The week they play each other though spurs are at home to Sheffield so Kane and son will be the standout options

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Tbh I've not considered this.
          Will look into it. Thank you for information.
          But, i don't think i will bin Raz for Kane.

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

          Vardy is a good option to go with a 10m+ premium you would captain. So I think Sterling (c) and Vardy, or Aguero + Vardy are good combos. That's assuming you don't have Salah, whom you can perma-cap.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Good point.
            I'm looking to go with Salah Sterling & Vardy as my premium players alongside value attackers

            1. Bad Kompany
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              What do you currently have as the rest of your team? I was struggling to fit in salah sterling and anyone else over 8m

      not bad looking at all and similar to mine in many ways, see below

      Good team overall.

      Moura is an interesting choice and could work out. However, for 7.5 I’d be looking for someone less rotation prone. If you want 5 in midfield I’d personally go for Brooks and use the 1.0 to upgrade your bench.

      The only other thing I’d say is that in week 1 Salah and Mane will be most captained. Without a Liverpool attacker you might want to hide behind the couch.

      1. Sergeant Slaughter
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Moura will likely be moved out after first few games. Love his chances to haul while Son is out.

      B). It has to be done. At least until we see how the cookie crumbles. I also have Stephens.

  22. jia you

    4 years, 9 months ago

    Liking my latest draft despite it commiting to going without a premium forward, thoughts?

    Ederson
    TAA / Robbo / VVD / Coleman / Trippier
    Sterling / KDB / Siggy / Madisson
    King
    (Button, DCL, Noble, Greenwood)

    1. Amey

      No Salah league continues then 😉

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Hey there mate! Yes, reasonable chance that I'll go Salahless for the season but prob wont fully commit to it this season just in case he starts going mental 😉

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Good approach 🙂
          He's 0.5 cheaper than expected which is a pleasant surprise

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            ...still a little bit too expensive imo considering the potential of the Liv defenders again but not ruling out owning him! Plus I detest permacaptaining
            haha

    2. Sergeant Slaughter
      • 12 Years

      Nice

  23. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I’ve been playing around with a 5-4-1, but think I’ll revert to something a little more traditional with premiums in each line.

    Thoughts?

    Ryan
    Robbo TAA Digne Ake
    Salah B.Silva Milivojevic Sigurdsson
    Kane King

    Button Fredericks Chowdhury Surridge

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yup, thats my dilemma atm, start with Kane or go 541? The City fix is putting me off him a little, but Kane could be a great captaincy punt in GW1.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        dont like the Mili pick at all if Im honest and I think having at least one decent sub is a good idea

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          ...if Fredricks nails a spot he could be good from GW2 though

        2. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I might go Zaha instead.

          Hopefully there’ll be a few good cheap mid and def options come through at the start of the season. Focused on structure right now. The 541, 451 or 442 conundrum is real!

    Italian news outlet tuttosport are reporting that Italian giants Juventus are interested in signing talented English player Dwight McNeil, after impressing in the recent Toulon Tournament. Other news outlets are repaeting this story as well.

    Imagine, Ronaldo in one wing and McNeil in the other. Dream team right there. Italy ain't ready.

    1. jia you

      Ronaldo: 'Dwight who???'

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I was disappointed he got a 6.0 tag, he could possibly have been an option if he was 0.5 or 1.0 cheaper

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I'm still interested. Huge fan of him, everytime I've seen him play. What a left peg. Reminds me of Ashley Young in his Watford days. Immense talent.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          He was so much value as a 4.5, hopefully there are a few similar gems buried out there somewhere this year

          1. Differential C (Mark)
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            I'm waiting to see how FPL price Josh Sims. Young, quick, good eye for a throughball and cross. Ralph seems to be impressed by him, could give him a bigger role this season. Surprised he hasn't been put into the game yet. He wasn't on loan at the end of last season or anything.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah really interested in Southampton overall - fascinated to see them now with a pre season under Ralphie

              Even though he’s far from being a young player, Stuart Armstrong also briefly caught my eye at 5.5, his points per 90 were pretty good... I just don’t know if he’ll get games...

              Similar to Josh Sims I wonder if the Djenepo & Adams signings will limit games all round? They’ve a lot more bodies there now to fit in

              Ings & JWP look the pick of the 6.0’s for me & I think they can both be useful

        2. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Better Pool options in the 6.5/7.0 bracket.

      Liverpool have fully nailed on defenders, City dont really, hence Ederson over Alisson at the same price. Liv defenders are so attacking too and offer so much more value!

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        All good, I already have my REDS I want in my team to start the season, was my first picks in my squad. 😉

  26. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Best option?

    A. Ederson, VVD & Kelly
    B. Alisson, Walker & Lascelles / Dunk

    I think A is better to have playing but B just gives me another playing option so can’t decide between them.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      The rest of my squad as it stands:

      X, Button
      TAA, X, Coleman, Diop, X
      Salah, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Zaha, Dendoncker
      Wilson, DCL, Wickham

  27. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    What is the feeling on Kane in here? Worth a punt?

    Liverpool fans - will Origi get minutes, this Season?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Would love to get Kane but prefer Salah & Sterling as premium options so no Kane yet.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah. I've gone Mane and Sterling. And Bobby.

        1. Blue&White85
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Interesting, could be a great shout. Most people doubling up on Liverpool at back. Which defender did you choose?

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            van Dijk.

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Jazz man - I’ve slotted Kane in (see above). It’s mainly structure and fixture related.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        You have NO bench! 😆

        More seriously, No Citeh?

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          B.Silva? It’s Sterling or Kane for me...

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah. I just can't get my head around Bilva.

            GW1:

            Ryan
            van Dyke, Zinchenko, Coleman
            Sterling, Mané, Sigurdsson, Townsend
            Firmino, Wilson, Calvert-Lewin

            Button; Stephens, O’Connell, Kelly … 19/20, 0.0 ITB, TV: 100.0

            1. Francescoli
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Not sure about Zinchenko. Has rotation written all over him. I like the Coleman pick but think Digne offers a bit more attacking threat. Calvert-Lewin down to fodder and upgrade a defender imo.

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 9 months ago

                OK. IIRC, corners etc. are generally crap until Xmas, so I don't pick dead ball specialists anymore. I disagree about Zinchenko:

                  good to hear you are ok. I'm well after I had that health scare/operation(nephrectomy) Feb last year.

                  You looking forward to the FPL season?

                    That's a relief! Recovery going well then? I still have hernias and whatnot.

                    Sort of. Mixed feelings. I'll tell you when my ticker is finished!!! 😆

                      Yeah, I had great surgeon and he used Da Vinci Robot to do keyhole surgery. Did not drink a single pain killer after leaving hospital. Had swelling in groin for 6 months though.

                      Luckily no chemo. Have to go for sonar every 6 months and CT scan once a year.

                        Christ, that is an escape!!! Delighted for you, mate. Was seriously worried.

                        Yes, I had a good couple of surgeons too - but I was on my back for 5 months.

                        I am glad that you are up and about so quickly!

    What do you think of this team?

    Ryan
    Robbo - TAA - Laporte - Ake
    Salah - Sterling - Zaha - Grealish
    Vardy - King

    Button - Dendoncker - Kelly - Greenwood

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      9 of the 11 is template.

      Don't like grealish personally, but that's a tough price point.

  29. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    3 Pool - TAA, Robbo/ VVD + Mane/ Salah
    3 City - Laporte/Bilva / Dilva/ Gundog + KDB+ Aguero

  30. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I really feel like my team all depends on a few player transfers in the market:

    •Eriksen (decides my Kane decision)
    •Tom Heaton (May get Burnley GK)
    •Zaha (100% in my team if he goes to Arsenal)

    Have I missed any others?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Auba out makes Laca gold esp with Zaha

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Similarly:

      - Fraser leaving dents all bourenmouth assets
      - Gueye leaving renders Everton defence almost unselectable

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Where is Fraser going?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          His contract is expiring in 11 months and there are rumbling s of a transfer to avoid losing him for free - arsenal mentioned a few times

          Hope he stays as I want Josh King at 6.5

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Ah. Thanks. My thinking is opposite. I would pick King if Fraser went. I have Wilson. 🙂

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah at least King should still have pens... but I wonder would Fraser take a big chunk of Bournemouth’s goals with him if he left, leaving all their forwards a few FPL points worse off vs. last season

              Equally, it could perhaps give Solanke a breakthrough chance though, which would be interesting

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Could Mignolet move?

      Klopp wouldn’t hear of it last time but he’d be king of the 4.5s if he landed at Palace say
