Pro Pundits - Andy

Why Harry Kane is back on my FPL radar and which three United assets I favour

Let’s Talk FPL’s Andy looks at the post-restart performances of Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in his latest Pro Pundits piece.


The new normal isn’t all that different so far from a Fantasy Premier League perspective.

Danny Ings (£7.3m) is still in great goalscoring form, Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) has averaged 7.6 points per match in the opening three games, and Nick Pope (£5.0m) is making a mockery of anyone who brings in a different goalkeeper.

With that being said, I do want to explore whether there are any differences we can spot following the Gameweeks and matches we’ve seen since football restarted.

    What’s the situation at Chelsea with Abraham and Giroud do we expect them to be constantly rotated for the rest of the season?

      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      As a chelsea fan I did not expect to see Giroud starting ahead of Tammy in both PL games, wasn't sure if it was due to tammy not being in favour or carrying a knock. However giroud hasn't done much and believe tammy will be re instated as the main striker, when he came on in the 62nd minute against City we look more attacking and he held up play well.

        I have giroud in my fh team for 33. Too risky?

    1FT. Auba ->

    A. Rashford
    B. Kane

    Bruno my only Man U player.

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood instead of Rash and use funds elsewhere. AWB seems a good investment

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not so sure about Mason's minutes.

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          With Dan James being pretty terrible yesterday and in the opportunities prior, and with Greenwood having taking his ... I'm hoping and suspect that Ole has no reason to switch him out

    3. Cheezeweasel
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane has more explosive potential imho

    Key questions for my 33+ WC, 34+ BB:

    1) Keep TAA, downgrade to VVD or spread the cash on other defensive options (Azpi, Aurier, 2nd Wolves, etc)?
    2) Which 2 United players to go with Bruno?
    3) Which 1-2 City players to go with KDB?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1) Keep TAA
      2) AWB & Martial
      3) Mahrez

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am on a WC, too. Fortunately I don't have my BB to worry about. However, I am going round the houses somewhat with points 2 & 3 that you raised.

    3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. Keep TAA. no brainer.
      2. Greenwood and AWB for me
      3. Mahrez/Foden

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

    Where to spend my FT ?

    2FT's, 0.3 in the bank

    Martinez
    TAA, AWB, Doherty
    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Son
    DCL, Jimenez, Rashford

    Sub: 3.9, Foden, Aurier, Lascelles

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was thinking DCL and Rashford to Kane and Greenwood...

      1. tuvok
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Son and Rashford to Greenwood & Salah? Would be a formidable attack for this week at least

  5. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    WC tinkering. How's this:

    Pope
    TAA • Doherty • Aurier • AWB
    Salah • KDB • Mahrez • Bruno
    Jimenez • Ings

    McCarthy • Lascelles • Cantwell • Nketiah
    £0.1itb

    Is that midfield too mainstream?

  6. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Rashford Foden
    B) Greenwood Son

    Best option?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    How many points did you get in June? 234 here.
    (You can go to some minileague and pick June instead of overall)

    3 captain fails in a row(Jimenez, Bruno, Aguero) but DDG and AWB on the positive side.

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Impressive to get that in spite of 3 captain fails! I'm on 233 and I had 2 successful captains before a Jimenez fail this week.

    2. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Active gwk is part of June, but 251 so far.

      • HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Doesn't the rest of this week games get added to the June total

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

          It does

    3. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What do u think for this WC team

      Pope - 3.9
      TAA - VVD - AWB - Boly - Saiss
      Mo - KDB - Bruno - Son - 4.7
      Jimmy - Greenwood - Nketiah

      1.1m itb to use it to upgrade 3.9 gk and 4.7 mid for my BB.
      Can play 5-4-1 or 4-4-2 benching 1 Wolfie.

      Thanx.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looks very strong, Son is a question mark based on current form but if he sparkles this GW, he deserves a place. I like most of the rest of the picks although I wouldn't go for VVD personally, nor double Wolves defence.

        Is there any reason why you don't spend the extra money you have itb now and play the BB next week? Or do you want to get more info before selecting?

        1. Azathoth
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Haven't decided yet who to get instead of the 3.9 and 4.7.
          VVD...just don't wanna sell him and if i do,don't know who to get.

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

      Thoughts on this FH team for this gw?

      Ederson
      Taa vvd alonso aurier
      Salah kdb Bruno Mahrez martial
      Rashford

      Button nketiah Connolly Simpson

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good if confident Mahrez plays. ManU defender instead of triple attack?

      2. tuvok
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good picks. Surprised we’re not seeing more free hit teams for this week considering the fixtures for Liverpool & in form United

    5. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Paul Pogba double digit haul is coming vs Bournemouth but who owns him?

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nah, Rashy

    6. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Really need Mane to outscore Salah tomorrow.

      OR 1100 and have lost my ML leading when rival picked Martial and I have Rashford.

      Also last week captain Bruno and this week Rashford didn't went well. Im gonna lose this season If its going this way.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wow OR 1100 and not top of your mini league. That's some tough stuff.

    7. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bottomed...

      2 FT, 0 ITB

      Any ideas?

      Foster, 3.9
      TAA, Maguire, Saiss, Lascelles, 3.9
      KDB, Salah, Son, Bruno, Martial
      Jimenez, DCL, Connolly

      My plan was to bring in Mahrez, but I'm reluctant to part with any of my midfielders. Obviously Foster sucks, and I'll regret picking him over Pope for the rest of the season, but I don't see an alternative with 0 ITB.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Martial to Pulisic

      2. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Stick and monitor performances before doing anything imo.
        Son to Mahrez or Richa for future reference and use funds to upgrade keeper to Pope/Hendo/Dubravka or DCL to Ings

    8. All For One
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pope
      Doherty, Taa, Lascelles
      Son, Bruno, Kdb, Mane
      Nketiah, Rashford, Jimenez

      Mccarthy, Saiss, Holgate, Hayden

      2FT 0.0 ITB

      A)

      Rashford> Greenwood
      Nketiah> Ings

      B)
      Son> Pulisic/ Mahrez
      Lascelles> Awb

      1. momomaimai

      2. Jusagoras
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Just Nketiah -> Greenwood? Not sure I understand getting rid of Rashford at this point.

        1. All For One
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nketiah to Greenwood and Rashford to Ings

      3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I think I’d go B. Plus, you will end up with some cash that can be used for an upgrade the following week.

        1. All For One
          • 5 Years

          cool yeh I still have bb aswell will see how Son does, thanks.

      Chasing in my mini league 45 points behind, leader has used all his chips I still have free hit...was thinking of going 5 in midfield...my 2 transfers this week would give me Martinez/Nyland
      TAA/ Doherty/Aurier/Lascelles/Eagan
      Salah/KDB/Mahrez/Bruno/Martial
      Jiménez/Greenwood/Nketiah
      Do it Y or N???

      1. tuvok
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If you’re gonna FH might as well squeeze salah and Mane in. Thinking of it myself

    10. Planet_Marss

      anyone know whats happening with matt ritchie.. am i gonna get a 1 point cameo?

    11. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      All out attack. How am I looking. Subject to player minutes in the pool city match

      Pope, TAA, VVD, Aurier,
      Salah, KDB, Bruno, Martial, Mahrez
      Greenwood, Jesus


      Martin, Connolly, Holgate, Kiko

      0 ITB

      1. gomez123
        • 10 Years

        Very similar to my team...go for it

      2. gomez123
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Martinez/Nyland
        TAA/ Doherty/Aurier/Lascelles/Eagan
        Salah/KDB/Mahrez/Bruno/Martial
        Jiménez/Greenwood/Nketiah

    12. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t trust Kane to pour me a bowl of cereal.

      1. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        But he can be trusted to bang them goals in when the tactics are built around his strengths as they were in seasons prior.
        Proven PL and International Striker

    13. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Is United Def essential(AWB) or should I triple up on their attack with Fernandes Martial Rashford ?
      *I think Greenwood won't constantly have great games like yesterday.
      **I'm on WC

      1. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I wouldn’t say essential as there are actually lots of teams keeping clean sheets at the minute

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        same dilemma for me
        im going AWB + 2 attackers

      3. POLSKA GOLA
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I have the same dillema, not on WC dough. I’m actually considering going with tripple attack of Bruno, Martial and Rash and doubling up on Pool defence with TAA and Gomez to play 442. Lots of cheap defenders delivering clean sheets atm

    14. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What's the appetite for Spurs besides Aurier?

      A. Kane
      B. Son
      C. Other
      D. No Spurs attack

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I only have B, see how they do later

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yep SHU result should help. Good fixtures ahead for a performing Spurs attacker

      2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        B or nothing

      3. POLSKA GOLA
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Have Son but may switch to Martial actually if he continues playing on the left wing and not cutting in

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yep, don't like his position either. I would prefer Kane in the current setup if he begins to meet expectation. SHU tonight should answer the question. Looking forward to the game. It's all good after lock-down. What miserable period it is/was!

          Onwards & upwards! 🙂

      TAA, Doherty, Saïss, Fernandez, Holgate
      Mané, KdB, Bruno, Bergwijn, Davis

      Any views on Holgate guys as an option?

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        I own him, but he is only there for emergencies.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Great option. Great fixtures. Cheap. I think he's the best defender sub Saiss.

    19. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pool and Chelsea fixtures look great next week but both with very tough turnarounds. I’d expect heavy rotation from these two teams before they play again. Utd for example have a much easier rest schedule and I will bringing in more players like that

    20. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Need some advice. Current team is:

      Pope (button)
      TAA Boly Doherty (Holgate 4.0)
      Salah KDB Bruno Son Sarr
      Jimmy Ings (Nketiah)

      2 ft, .2 ITB

      Should I:

      A) Son & Boly -> Martial & AWB
      B) Son & Nketiah -> Martial & DCL
      C) Sarr & Boly -> Cantwell & AWB
      D) some other thing

      United Fans...

      What are the chances Brandon Williams starts on Saturday? Should I take a -4 for Maguire to Bench Boost or roll the dice with Williams?

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not high, but Shaw wasn’t great to be fair. He had a few good balls in and a stupid YC, but generally didn’t impress.

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not a United fan, but expect him to get minutes but don’t expect him to start - feel United will stick with last night XI for the remainder of the season barring any injuries/suspensions

      3. FPL Pillars

        Fact that he came on last GW to give shaw some much needed breather, suggests me that shaw will start.

          That is what I was worried about as well. I think Williams looked great when he came on though.

      Should I FH this team or can I get away with a -4 next GW

      Leno & Auba > Allison & Jesus

      Ramsdale Leno

      Boly Fernandez Maguire Stevens Egan

      KDB Martial Son Fernandes Saka

      Jimenez Aubameyang DCL

      1FT 0.3 ITB

      Any ideas would be welcomed

        -4 is ok.
