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.

    Bench boosting with Martinez, nice solid CB partnership ahead of him.

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The only saving grace is Norwich hate scoring

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        They'll have to really despise it with those clowns. How's your week going mate?

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Moderate to poor I guess? 41 with four to play

          I bottled it and captained Jimenez but only myself to blame. How’s yours going?

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I have no idea, average? Haven't paid much attention this week. 49 (-4) atm but using BB, Martinez and Saka(sigh) playing atm then 4 more to go. Capped Martial, another one to to add to the list.

    DCL haul incoming!!

    My expectations of DCL are so low that by ‘haul’ I mean a 2 pointer where he actually looks like he could score a goal

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm, he gets booked a lot so I'll be happy with 2.

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

    Why no Saka?

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

      Partied too hard after signing da ting.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Played a lot of games recently

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      he's played a lot of minutes.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lots of minutes recently, was due a rest.

    5. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He has played a lot the last few games

    6. dicky2014
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doesn't have to play him now he has signed a new deal

  4. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ha! Ings to Nketiah another disaster stroke for me. Thought Ings would be benched and make a cameo and a rested Nketiah to start vs Norwich lol

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That was asking for trouble

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      andy did the same move so u have good company

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        debateable

  5. 20LEGEND
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Got Saka in this week, he signed his contract today. I think Arteta will let him loose against a tired defence in the second half and he can celebrate with attacking returns

  6. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I knew it i should play Grealish instead of Nketiah.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was a no brainer tbf.

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

        How about DCL 😛

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Pending 😛

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah i know 🙁

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Grealish got 2 pts ??

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      for his 2 point haul

      nketiah could come on and score still

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What juicy hauls are people looking at getting off the bench with that team news?

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

      Patiently waiting for Martinelli to make an appearance...

    2. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy hopefullu. Don't see Nketia not playing though.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure who else is benched but Nketiah will surely come off the bench and Ritchie might as well.

    4. 20LEGEND
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Evans and Barnes to come off the bench if Saka or the rest don't play

    5. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Don't need one, I'm getting Greenwood points off the bench for Cathcart 🙂

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        😎

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thank god I didn't start Niketiah over DCL or Richa

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      bad choice rewarded!!

  9. XABI 15
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any info on Pulisic for tonights game and whether he plays?

  10. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Saka to come on for 15mins and score a goal

    1. Lucy2019
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Get owners 1 point more like.

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years

      lol

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ings to Auba (c). -4.

    Come on captain, time to deliver

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think Laca will get the goals today

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aren't you a little down on that deal already?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe. Time will tell

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A -17 😮

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Depends on who he'd captain. If it was going to be a 2 pointer like Jimenez or Rashford, 10 points would be enough to break even.

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      wow you need 17pts from Auba just to break even..............good luck mate

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I wouldn't be celebrating, still be pissed off...

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks.

        Hard luck with ings. FHed in gw30+ so missed his other haul too lol

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Dont do the Lottery mate

  12. drughi

    ML on the line tonight, nervous times. A haul from auba and It’s over for me

    1. Party time
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I swear Arsenal will smash norwich. Dammit... More red arrows incoming for me tonight, I’m tired man!

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah 3/4-0 i reckon

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Chances of Saka staying on bench? Have AWB first sub and could do with those points instead of Sakas 1

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        think it depends on the score around 50-60 mins

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        if Saka and Nketiah stay on the bench I'll be very surprised, and anyone benefitting will be very lucky

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      where does nelson play ?

      what formation are arsenal playing 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 ?

      1. Random Name

      Only have Justin in the 6pm games today so hopefully a Leicester CS!

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Everton have scored in all their games since the restart except vs Liverpool

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          yup all 1 of them

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      4m defenders and 4.5m forwards are priced that way in FPL for a reason. You get what you pay for and one should not be surprised when they are just randomly benched or dropped.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        how dare u tell me when to be surprised

        how very dare you

    7. CostaCoffee

      2 free transfers for next gw, any obvious changes here?

      De Gea
      Ritchie Aurier Doherty Justin (Simpson)
      Son Salah Bruno Martial KDB
      Jimenez (Connolly DCL)

      Tempted to get Tammy in for DCL but not sure how I'd go about it

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why Tammy? Hasn't shown anything and Frank keeps using subs on his attackers.

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          He's looked lively when he's played since the restart. Scored a nice goal at Leicester but was ruled offside. Plenty goals in this Chelsea team and you'd imagine he'd be involved in a couple of them

        If Bournemouth dont win today, they will almost certainly get relegated with the run in they have.

        Once they are down they will be raided for their top assets and I dont know where that will leave them

        Will be sad to lose them from the league and see their likely demise

        1. Random Name
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I agree it would be sad. But it might be time for a reboot at bournemouth. They've dwindled for far too long now

          1. ZimZalabim
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            they've dwindled because of poor recruitment over payed for a bunch of players from Liverpool and their best performers were still the ones already there.

            I think eddie howe will leave and wilson, king, cook, Ake, ramsdale, brooks, probably steve cook and adam smith will all leave for prem clubs

            Full reboot is possible but theyll have to keep eddie howe or theyll just drop down the leagues

        All those with Greenwood first on their bench don’t deserve his points - there I said it

          yeah if you're going to pay that much for someone at least start them!!

        Nketiah and Ritchie benched. Not a great start for this evening, hopefully Alonso doesn't suprise me in a bad way. Makes Ritchie > AWB a bit easier tho if he doesn't do anyhting from the bench either.

        Got a question too besides the complaint: which upgrade looks better for 35: Bergwijn (ARS, new) > Mahrez (bri, BOU) or
        Pope (liv, WOL) > Ederson (bri, BOU)

          I always prefer outfield upgrades to goalkeeper ones.

          Even if pope gets two 2 pointers and Ederson 2 clean sheets that's like 8 points. Mahrez can get that with a goal

          Mahrez

        Which moves look the best for GW33...

        A) Simpson, Guendouzi, DCL to Wan Bissaka, Pulisic, Greenwood for -4

        B)Guendouzi/DCL to Foden, Abraham

        Thoughts appreciated

        You think Liverpool send Southampton a thank you package for their PL trophy?

        Anyone else had worse luck with Ings than me?

        FHed in GW30+. Missed his haul.

        Played him in GW31+. Did nothing.

        Sold for a hit in GW32+. For a hit. Missed another haul.

          Had a great preseason so had him from GW1 for £6m

          GW1 2 points
          GW2 6 points on my bench (came on as a sub and scored vs Lpool
          GW3 5 points on my bench (cause he didn't start prev game)
          GW4 2 points
          GW5 1 point played 16 mins vs Sheff (started prev 2 got benched)
          GW6 1 point played 13 mins vs Bourn (started on bench again)

          Sell him cause he's clearly been benched now and then he starts games again scoring 9 7 9 in the next 3 games and he is now worth £7.2m. He has 5.73 points per game since I sold him. I got 1.5 points per game I played him.
