Potential replacements for Vardy and Mané after Double Gameweek injuries

Once upon a time, Double Gameweeks lived up to expectation with something for everyone. Not anymore.

I know we’re only at the half-way stage but, up until now, this latest one has been one of the worst in living memory.

My joint-highest scorer, Diego Rico (£4.2m) was lost on the bench and on the pitch I had six players that mustered a solitary point each. It’s been a spectacular fail to date.

To rub insult to injury, I was going to sell Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) for Mark Noble (£5.0m), but Marcus Rashford’s (£9.0m) injury only encouraged me to start Mason Greenwood (£4.4m) which was a risk too far.

Weeks of planning went out the window and it just became all the more farcical and unfortunate after seeing Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m) get injured in the space of 24 hours.

In many ways millions of FPL managers have had a dire Double Gameweek and my Liverpool players still have another game to play. But realistically, only a captain Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) hat-trick assisted solely by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) can bring about a U-turn. I can live in hope for now.

Vardy Replacement

 1

Vardy’s injury in some ways is just the excuse I needed to sell him. With that said, early reports indicate that he could be back as early as next week. He may have scored 17 goals this season, but should I really persevere with a player that has only scored one goal since Gameweek 16 and has registered eight points in his last four starts? Probably not.

I think it may finally be time board the Danny Ings (£7.0m) bandwagon. The Southampton man has only scored 24 fewer points than Vardy this season, despite playing almost 300 fewer minutes.

Of course, I’m probably two months late to the party and would have to pay a premium price for him but he seems to be one of a small number of fit strikers that has been scoring regularly throughout the campaign.

Ings’ fixtures aren’t bad either. After a visit to his former club, Liverpool, he has a generous run of games until Gameweek 30. With him now in the race to get a trip to Euro 2020 with England, there’s enough incentive for him to carry on scoring goals.

Mané Replacement?

Mane injury latest as Firmino claims Double Gameweek advantage

It may be too premature to speculate, but if the Mané does have a serious injury then I may have to sell him. Of course, for many other FPL managers he is a season-keeper with a lot of tied in value and they may have the patience to keep him for a game or two if he doesn’t play. But I don’t have that sort of will power at hand, especially when I’m also dealing with an injured Vardy and a range of out of form or rotation risk players.

A replacement for Mane will require more thought and consideration when we remember the impact he has had this season.

Put simply, there isn’t really anyone else I could sell him for in a straight-swap.

At a push, I could say Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) but he is lacking in form, with no Fantasy returns since Gameweek 19. However, he has received the fourth-most number of passes (96) in the final third in the last four Gameweeks so seems to be getting the right areas, just without the reward.

But then you have a player like Willian (£7.2m) that has more touches (163) and passes received (122) in the final period than any other player over the same duration but it’s only amounted to 12 aggregate points.

Had it not been for his difficult upcoming fixtures, I may have also considered Son Heung-min (£9.9m). Since the turn of the year, among midfielders, he’s had the second-highest number of goal attempts (14). With Harry Kane (£10.8m) injured for the long-term Tottenham will rely on him even more. I genuinely hope that I don’t have to sell Mané, but if I do, the options look bleak.

Future Planning

I’m probably in a small group of FPL managers that will have two free transfers at hand after Double Gameweek 24 comes to an end. I’m in this position as I spent one free transfer on Brandon Williams (£4.1m) and opted not to buy any West Ham players.

I’ve not seen a green arrow in a long time and whilst knee jerk decisions are tempting during this time of Fantasy Football turbulence, I need to keep a level head, just as Lateriser stressed on Saturday, although I’d still like to carry out some calculated risks.

Doubling up on Sheffield United’s defence could be a viable option when considering Dean Henderson’s (£5.0m) form and their upcoming run of games. I also need to stop ignoring players like Jack Grealish (£6.6m) and Adama Traoré (£5.7m) who have been bargain midfield gems.

Apart from that, I hope Premier League clubs partake in some inspired real-life January transfers that can broaden FPL options and ultimately smash up the template team.

      It's another good competitive game for some of the young chaps as far as I see it.

        Yeah, I can't see any negatives.They don't have to play their first team players and it's the youngsters will never have a better opportunity to get some real experience like this. Playing in the youth games just isn't the same.

            I'm doing great mate. Still in my hometown nashik. Switched job inside same City. Now looking to move ahead in career though. Would definitely have to get out of hometown comfort & move to a big software related job potential City in South India i guess. Planning about that atm.

            Re FPL season, I'm doing great 😀 been lucky sometimes too.
            Really appreciate this community for making me realize how much i like FPL tbh buddy.

                Good to see that.

                Yeah, Hyderabad & Pune are possible destinations. Bengaluru is one of the best for software engineers but is damn expensive so it's my on last number of my wishlist.

              Hoping for a promotion soon and pub is going very well, but we weren’t nominated for pub of the year for the first time in 3 years so we have to improve.
              I’ve had a offer accepted on a house so life is looking good. Want to have children ASAP.

    0.2 ITB, 1 FT.

    Ryan
    TAA, Holgate, Kelly
    Salah, Mane*, KDB, Grealish
    Aguero, Ings, DCL

    (Woodman, Lundstram, Traore, Simpson)

    A) Mane -> Son (then Lundstram -> VVD next GW)
    B) Mane & Holgate -> Son & VVD (-4)
    C) Mane & Lundstram -> Son & VVD (-4)

    Time for Lundstram to go despite fixtures? Holgate seems nailed and surprisingly getting in some attacking positions, and I can only get VVD in for him with a hit which I dont fancy.

    Cheers!

          OK. I'd have said Spurs look very poor. I'd consider losing Holgate: Eve fixtures turn and they are not exactly watertight. Lund has started every league game but 2.

            • 13 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers. I can only get VVD in for Holgate if I do it this GW for a hit so edging towards Lundstram for that reason.

      Yes, but I can’t imagine anyone thinking anything else would happen.

      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no. he's likely more probable to have another rest with besic doing well but I'd like to think lundstram is more motivated now to hopefully score and play well. I'm expecting further returns from him

    4. Rupert The Horse

      No. I’d even get him in now.

    Did they not ask Klopp anything about Mane injury at all pre or post match?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      From experience they usually focus on the competition that’s at hand.

      And anything that doesn’t include sausage.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      He´s making a statement... let it go. He moaned about the calendar, nobody gave a sh!t so he does this.... But let the untouchable GOD of Liverpool disrespect the oldest competition in England all he wants....

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Disrespect is a little strong. Looking from a club point of view I’d do exactly the same.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would not say he hates the FA Cup. It is like the issue with the Carling Cup and World Club Cup.

      The FA do not know how to organise a piss up in a bar. The amount of fixture pile up and Klopp will send out kids to play. I would do the same. EPL is also within reach so Klopp will prioritise the League.

    I would not be surprised if West Ham scored against Liverpool this week but on the flip side I expect Liverpool to score at least 3 against the Hammers. They really are in free fall and Moyes seems lost.

    1. Amey

      Make it Haller goal & deal 😉

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years

      Salah penalty miss and Salah and Trent red cards would sum up this pitiful DGW together with some random scorer for West Ham

    3. FOO FIGHTER

      Moyes will try park the bus vs LFC but the bus will be destroyed.

      West Ham's issues go beyond the manager. It's the owners who are the real problem. They are fighting for PL survival and have failed spectacularly in this transfer window.

      VVD? It will be difficult to price him away.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Don't see why he would want to leave but stranger things have happened. The fact that his supposed source is a club legend sort of makes me think it's definitely BS.

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

          May as well be true but the amount he will cost would surely be over the roof. Maybe he needs a better contract from Pool.

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Currently contracted to 2023 and likely to be PL winner for one of the richest clubs in the world. I doubt Juve, or anyone else, have the money to tempt Liverpool.

            I wonder who this supposed club legend is - pretty sure it's dud information.

        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He does get team and injury news but I think he's been had off here. It's a quick way to get retweets, likes and follows though. He also said Haland was joining United and conveniently deleted it..

        Most of his new followers will forget by the summer - it's how IndyKaila became so big.

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Juve ain’t got the kind of cash required to buy him anyway

    4. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If it’s true that he’s available then I’d be up for Ole putting a cheeky little bid in.

    5. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Very strange if true

      I cannot see Liverpool letting him go no matter what. I know in the past they have lost the likes of Suarez and Coutinho but I just can’t see Liverpool letting VVD go unless Juve pay something in the region of £200 million

    6. Niho992
      • 5 Years

      There is zero chance that VvD will leave Liverpool.

      Seeking attention.

    I think that GW26 double is possible, heard someone saying about it last week.

      Would be perfect for me. Already own triple City.

        I have KDB, probably go Laporte and Kun. Need it confirmed in the next few days

          Yeah, there is a good chance it will. Same happened last season.

            seems a bit short notice, it will surely be confirmed in next two days if its happening. If it is, all transfers need to go on that. Arsenal will have a double as well then I take it?

              Yep, NEW/mci

                hmmm, interested in getting in Auba, Kun, Laporte and Bellerin lol. Not sure how that will work :/

          Laporte is a DGW legend

            ye nice time to return, might be a big differential

              foden might be the real differential here

            Yeah,.had him for his 20 pointer last season. He was playing in a LB role though at the time.

              • 10 Years

              I ignored him and got punished

            There is absolutely no way Pep would start him in both games though? Been injured a long time, just back, he knows he needs him if they stand any chance of winning UCL

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Laporte and KDB are the most likely to start probably, followed by Raheem

      Mane to Sterling for tripple City attack could be epic

      One of the posts explained he was making a comment about a newspaper article about Kobe being a frequent flyer in his helicopter

      Fake

      Must have been following Kobe's life closely to make a strange guess which would truly happen 7/8 years later.

        Not really, apparently was commenting on a newspaper article about Kobe flying the helicopter frequently

          Yeah, may as well be.
