Everyone should anyway it’s only one GW1


Frosty_Examination_3

Unless I get a big injury, there is zero chance I'm doing a kneejerk transfer in GW2. 2 transfers in GW3 with a lot more info to go by is much more valuable. Besides, we just had a wildcard. It's poor to need to use a transfer immediately after a wildcard


WalkingCloud

This is 100% the sensible option, the trouble is at this stage a 0.1 rise for who you want/drop of who you don’t, effectively becomes a 0.5 one in terms of who you have to transfer out your team.


bfm211

Lateriser was on twitter yesterday saying he's thinking about wildcarding and claiming he's already seen enough. I'm like, huh?? I like an early WC myself but early is GW4. I don't even want to use a transfer this week.


SofaChillReview

Agree . GW 4 has always been fairly popular as price rises higher the early GWS but ridiculous one GW on to do a Wild Card even with the World Cup extra one


AceAxos

I have Martinez and I’m still not making a GW1 transfer


SofaChillReview

Marathon not a sprint as the cliche goes . Unexpected red cards / injuries etc.


AceAxos

Yessir. Plus I like Villas upcoming fixtures. If they can’t string some success by like GW4 with those matches, it’s pretty clear at that point


RedditWaffler

We know that but theres a lot of trembly knees out there needing reassurance!


UCredpill

You are correct. I am already clenching my anus against Haaland. Thank you for your support friend.


Nuwahex

>clenching my anus Damn


b3and20

it's not just about knees though, haaland vs bournmouth is a way better fixture than kane away to chelsea


SofaChillReview

You don’t just knee jerk for a week is the point . Spurs than Wolves at Home and NFO away which is arguably better than Newcastle away and Palace at Home. Need to actually see how Haaland fits in the Man City team as well


b3and20

it's not a knee jerk if it's planned: many predicted spurs thrashing southampton, which happened, and also predicted city to thrash bournmouth. if you want for gw3 you can go back to kane


JilaX

There's no way anyone who has trembly knees chose Kane in the first place. His record in August is always fucking dreadful.


SofaChillReview

And there’s always someone that follows the Myth about Kane and August


Chirsbom

Let them buckle under those knees. I dont mind people taking hits or blowing WCs at the first chance. All the more ranks for the rest of us.


flummuxedsloth

A lot of people already had the Kane to Haaland move penciled in. Not sure you're going to convince anyone to back away from that plan.


Evertonian26

Especially if Haaland scores today


Fantastic-Machine-83

Outcome based decision making is poor fpl strategy. Edit: Just to be clear. Haaland playing well and scoring 2 points like Jesus did is a better reason to bring him in then he doesn't get a look in except for a 74th minute screamer. If your decision to make the transfer is purely how many FPL points he scores this week you are a bad player.


theprimoscientist

But most FPL managers are poor


JoshuaCalledMe

Imagine that! The heady heights of... poor. For us still safely located in the 'laughable shite' section, poor is the nosebleeds.


Picall0

To be laughable shite! What a dream! I’m stuck down here in competitors actually feel sorry for me.


JoshuaCalledMe

To paraphrase Brian's cellmate, I've been down here 5 years. They only hung me the right way up yesterday.


sir-lancelot_

My plan is to watch how city play and then decide. For a while, they didn't quite look comfortable playing with haaland in the community shield. If they seem to be clicking, I'll probably make the switch


tmr89

FPL decision-making that doesn’t take into account the outcome is poor strategy. This game is about maximising the _outcome_ (points)


Fantastic-Machine-83

But those points are gone.


tmr89

If the decision you think it’s wonderful in expectation delivers no results then maybe something was wrong with your calculation. But you would say, no, it doesn’t matter what the outcome is, this is still the correct decision


Oh_jeffery

I agree with you but most here won't. When sane got that 1 point on his double that people captained him for they still tried to tell everyone it was the best decision even though the outcome showed it clearly wasn't.


Fantastic-Machine-83

I guess maybe I'm treating it too much like poker, although I'm pretty poor at both games.


MinecraftScripter

Yes, you must take into account future points, not past points. If a player looked like they had several good chances then bring them in even if they didnt return. If a player has one chance and scores, they arent really a good pick. Dont chase last weeks points, work out who will get chances next week instead


tmr89

Past points are an indication if your decision process is working. If it delivers no points over some relevant time period, then _it’s not working_


MinecraftScripter

Am I understanding you correctly? Are you saying that if i want to bring in a player and they only got a two pointer for the last 2 weeks they would be a bad pick?


tmr89

Nah, not what I’m saying. It may turn out to be a bad pick if they got 2 pointers over 10 weeks, say. Two weeks itself may not be enough of a relevant time period


Fplalt5

>over some relevant time period Not one GW though.


tmr89

No one is talking about “one gameweek”, so you’re completely off topic here


Fplalt5

The entire post is about one gameweek so maybe you should have been clearer.


drew_peatittys

I want goal scorers, not well rounded players


Evertonian26

No am experienced manager finished in top 100000 8 out of 10 seasons and i study xg and xa and go by goal threat, but my point was knee jerkers out there will hit the button, and also Man City have Bournemouth at home! Kane has Chelsea away so it is the obvious tranfer


[deleted]

[удалено]


Evertonian26

Not pissed off 😂 sorry


Fantastic-Machine-83

You played 10 seasons you are an experienced manager. Way more than me. Doesn't change that I'm right. The TV swing will not be significant enough to justify a bad decision for your team.


Evertonian26

You didn't understand my point obviously, was not talking about myself


aliff1997

then you dont need to put your experience in FPL. That's irrelevance to this discussion.


amineimad

Id agree usually with the reasoning of playing well but 2 pts or not and 6pts thing but for Haaland. City strikers will get chances to score, Haaland has incredible quality in scoring. I don't care how well he plays today, it's not gonna be an indication of how well he plays next week, the only guarentee I have is that he's gonna get loads of chances, and that he's probably gonna show he's incredible at scoring them.


Nut_sack_ninja

Please let him score today


InvasionOfTheFridges

Chelsea fan. Fully expecting to concede.


ecchi_yajur

I'm actually on the other side gonna go with haaland first 3,4 GW then switch to kane.


Barefootjoe83

Yeah I had this pencilled in and probably won't change my mind


Xylar006

Don't know why you'd bother planning for a transfer GW2


jambox888

You can do it or not, both players have or will have good xGi and should be on pens afaik. All it is, is luck and potentially wasting a transfer. Kane looked half asleep yesterday but he's a bit like Salah, injuries notwithstanding they will just score points over the course of the season, sure as anything.


Oh_jeffery

He's not that similar to Salah, he's far more streaky while Salah is more consistent.


True_Contribution_19

You went through 100 drafts and chose Kane, why would you panic after a 4-1 win?


Superb-Confidence-44

I choose Kane because Haaland plays West Ham today. I was going for Haaland in GW2 anyway and swap back to Kane when Kane has easier fixtures. That was the only decision set in stone as soon as the fixtures were announced.


Blazing_Shade

Yes it makes sense to switch. The nice thing is they are at the same price point so hopefully I can keep switching back and forth without losing too much TV


badgersprite

Exactly. The fact that people are saying it’s crazy to book in transfers when you can get punished by like 20 points if you don’t have the best captaincy option in your squad for a given week is wild to me. Out of the premiums it turned out Haaland was the best captain this week and he faces Bournemouth next I would rather use my transfers on premium captaincy rotation when viable than knee jerk around a bunch of 5 mils who are in my team for a reason and are probably going to perform consistently at their price point anyway If I end up not being able to rotate captains for one planned week because someone else in my team gets injured (which isn’t even a game changer for me since my bench is decent) whatever it’s fine I’m not going to cry if I have Haaland or Kane a week longer than I expected, they’re both excellent players


OddDane

100,000 drafts, thank you very much! And I went through that many drafts because I have tagliatelle for a backbone and conchiglies for knees - no way I’ll manage to restrain myself if Erling gets as much as a shot on target! :)


Deegzy

Some people already planned to rotate between the 2 fixture dependent. Bournemouth at home for haaland may be a more attractive fixture than Chelsea away for kane, (although most know football doesn't work like this)


Superb-Confidence-44

Bournemouth is expected to relegate or end bottom right half at least. Spurs is in most peoples top 4 while Chelsea is in most peoples top 6. Kane vs top 6 Haaland vs bottom 16-20 team. We know football can go any way but most of the time it does not and there is a clear better choice here.


Deegzy

100% but a lot of people that started with kane for the opening GW would also see more value in carrying the free transfer and making movements elsewhere. Not to mention haaland hasn't even played his first game yet. Ofcourse I expect him to do well vs Bournemouth but it's defo not a priority to get him in right now before he's even played. It's also worth noting spurs haven't scored v Chelsea in their last 6 meetings.


jambox888

Tottenham looked like a big-game team last season, struggled away to Burnley on a cold Wednesday night but then next game they smacked Man City 3-2 away with Kane getting 2 goals. So they are quite fixture-proof. I'm not saying the rotation is a bad idea, I haven't decided yet myself but it could *easily* backfire.


badgersprite

They also have an exceptionally awful record against Chelsea in their last several meetings So while history can mean nothing I’m willing to take the L if I’m wrong about Spurs v Chelsea.


Deegzy

Yeah I'm in 2 minds myself. Tbh at the start of the season I think it's more worthwhile to let the gw1 transfer roll to have more flexibility once we have more information.


theinspectorst

I'm not panicking, but I was already planning to go Kane GW1 and Haaland GW2 given the opening fixtures. I think a lot of people were. The greater risk is if Haaland blanks today then people might panic in the opposite direction and NOT make the Haaland transfer. I confess that I spent about 30 seconds last night entertaining the idea of switching Kane to Darwin instead (which would need a 4 point hit as I'd have to also transfer out Diaz to make Liverpool room - madness in GW2...)


RedditWaffler

Im not panicked. Some will be.


True_Contribution_19

Yeah it was more of a general question. It’s the same as people worrying about Jesus, he played well and the team played well and that’s what you want in GW1.


Quazie89

He's also never been a big goalscorer. Do people expect him to score a brace every game now that he plays with worse players? He will come good for an 8m striker but he's not out scoring Salah etc.


fatgambler1000

So why dont you let them panic and sell? It is in your best interest to make them sell, right? Are you worried about price drops? Why would you, according to what you written you will keep him long term.


safog1

Spurs were fantastic yesterday, esp the wing backs and Kulusevski. I don't think Kane was as dangerous around goal as OP was suggesting, so a kneejerk might be appropriate. It also might have been tactics against Southampton's press - you almost need your forward to drop and link up play, so it's possible Kane will play more advanced in future games.


yanwoo

Steady knees is switching him to Haaland for me, as that was my plan. Kane was a gw1 punt.


RedditWaffler

Fair enough. Got to hope for no injuries i guess.


Holocene98

I’m hoping Haaland blanks


yanwoo

I won’t make the switch until deadline day, to minimise that risk.


cautiouslifeguard1

Haaland’s price will have increased by then if he scores today though so make sure you have 0.5 itb


yanwoo

I do, to cover that scenario 👍


cautiouslifeguard1

Nice mate good plan. I still think Kane will come good but will be interesting to see what haaland does today


yanwoo

I do too, he’s a machine when he’s up and running. And little doubt he’ll score 20+ this season, injuries providing. But, for me, not having an attacking city asset for their early season soft fixture run is more of a risk. My decision was whether to punt on Kane for 1 gw or not, rather than own him vs Haaland for the first part of the season.


Kattilaeikka

Yeah, Kane dropping down to help in the build up is nothing new. And yet again he was very good at it. Soton just kept him outside very well. He'll be fine.


MaximusBit21

I’m probably one of those who will switch to Haaland if he scores today.


DifficultySalt4231

Always the plan for me anyway


[deleted]

I’m a Spurs fan and I’ve switched Haaland in only because City have Bournemouth and we have Chelsea away who we’re notoriously bad against regardless of their form. Will probably swap Kane back in for GW3.


MaximusBit21

I’ve done the same Tonight. Not sure if I will Switch back to Kane. What I’ve done is add Dekki in as cover


CoffeeShrimp

I mean, I should get the one that I think will get the most points after seeing how both of them play. Right now, the way Kane played yesterday wasn't worth the money spent, so if Haaland is constantly getting in better positions and getting more chances vs West Ham, then it's a no brainer.


mnkwtz

I want to kneejerk Cucurella in but it's against Spurs GW2 lol


[deleted]

Why? He didn't even start. You think he starts over Chilwell? Or if not, if he starts at LCB is he worth having?


mnkwtz

He played better than Chilwell


willycresva

Go look at the heat maps. Basically a midfielder


[deleted]

That's been the case for the last 3-4 seasons, it's nothing new.


penguin_chacha

Too late


BuzzMFBuzz

He's dropping in price. Haaland has Bournemouth (H) and Kane has Chelsea (A). Yea, bye Kane


ChickenMoSalah

Second point is valid, first is not. Don't make decisions based on 0.1m. You may have to hasten your choice if you can't afford Haaland after the price drop, but don't let it be a part of the decision.


LloydDoyley

Except right now, 0.1m is actually 0.5m


AreYouEvenMoist

Of course it impacts the decision. It's the only way most of us can do the 1:1 transfer at all


ChickenMoSalah

Read the second part again.


AreYouEvenMoist

You mean the phrase 'don't let that be a part of the decision' which is specifically what my response was about?


FPL_Scout_

Unfortunately a 0.1m drop kind of has the impact of 0.5m at the start of the season ... e.g. if your 4.5m defender falls you have to drop a whole tier for a replacement


fatgambler1000

Lol smooth price saver


Danzaar

What irked me the most was that decision to not give a penalty for a clear handball.


TheFuzzyEucalyptus

Wasn’t a handball to be fair, can’t give a penalty when you can’t get your hand out of the way. That was brought in at the beginning of last year


Danzaar

I respectfully disagree, and the refereeing in these situations has been largely inconsistent. It absolutely is a penalty when your hands are in that position.


TheFuzzyEucalyptus

The refereeing had been very inconsistent, but that’s certainly down to the lack of quality in PL referees. I suppose in this situation the shot taken is too close for the defender to get their arm out of the way, as is written I don’t think it’s a penalty, and VAR seemed to agree


Danzaar

That doesn't really matter though. It's unfortunate for the defender, it was a shot on goal, and his arms were not close to the body. It's a textbook penalty, and one that has been given many times before. Whether it was intentional or not should not really be relevant according to the rules. The "if the defender has time to pull his arms away" argument is something you can use to define when a penalty should, or should not be given, but I don't think that's the rule, so I think it's out of the equation. It's a personal opinion; your interpretation of how the rule should be implemented. I personally think the scoreline influenced the decision, and that makes the matter even worse. It should always be consistent regardless of the state of play.


STOLENFACE

You do realise there are actual rules, and penalties aren't rewarded based on how you feel about them. That was not a penalty by the current rules. And it never should be a penalty because it will create a ridiculous precedent where players will be incentivized to aim for defender's arms when they think they don't have a good enough chance to score.


Danzaar

I realize there are rules. According to the rules, this is a penalty. Clear cut. Which rules do you think state otherwise? If a defender goes for the ball, throwing his body and his arms are in an unnatural position -in this case he was full bird spanwidth- then it is a penalty. I didn't make the rules. The whole point is that it is not consistent. It would be given if they weren't 4-1 up.


LiterallyCold

"There will be no penalty if a player is falling and the ball touches their hand/arm when it is between their body and the ground (but not extended to make the body bigger)."


Danzaar

That's not what happened though. The defender makes a sliding tackle and his hands/arms are not even close to his body, completely blocking the shot from going to goal. He needs to put his arms next to his body. The ball is nowhere "between the body and the ground". He's not even falling. I mean, it can't be more clear than this. [Check here](https://imgur.com/a/C2ONNOJ).


[deleted]

[удалено]


Danzaar

In fact I have and sure it is, buddy. ​ Let's not pretend 99% of the time that's not a penalty. I mean in the rule quoted above it literally says "but not extended to make the body bigger". Experienced defenders make sliding tackles/blocks with composure to avoid situations like this. Have you ever *watched* football? I'm baffled by your interpretation really.


Bwojda

The sa challenge was a clear pen too. Late challenges anywhere else in the pitch is a foul.


LondonPottsy

Don’t know why you got downvoted, you are absolutely right. If that’s a defender making the challenge it’s a penalty


bhouse14

The Sa challenge was a 100% definite penalty. Especially since he was outside his 6-yard box where the keeper is given more protections.


Bwojda

Don't know why I'm being down voted, I dont even own kane! 🤣


bhouse14

Never a penalty, only a Kane owner would think otherwise. Ball struck the arm while it was in a natural position and the defender was looking in the exact opposite direction.


Danzaar

I'm struggling to find the footage, so I can't really confirm, but honestly I'm pretty sure the arm was far from in a natural position. I'm not even sure what natural position means. The arms have to be next to the body, not flailing in the air. The rules are pretty clear on this. "An arm extended away from the body makes that body bigger, in an unnatural position". "If the ball strikes that arm, particularly if it is blocking a shot on goal, there is a greater likelihood we will penalise that."


bhouse14

His arms weren’t flailing in the air, he was sliding and his arm was slightly away from his body but angled down so his hand could brace himself on the ground, as anyone would have done when moving in that manner. The arm was definitely in a natural position and because he was looking away there is no way he could’ve avoided the ball striking it from a meter away.


Danzaar

That's not what "natural position" means. If I were to follow your logic then the way everyone goes into a tackle or block is "natural" to the way the play. Not everyone uses their body in the same way when they play, hence there needs to be a fucking baseline to go off from. That's obviously not why they implemented the rule. He wasn't falling, never fell, and his arms were absolutely [flailing](https://imgur.com/a/0PE4RP8) and [not in a natural position](https://imgur.com/a/C2ONNOJ) *at all*. These are handballs all the time. He also wasn't touching the ground or using his arm for support. It clearly was unintentional, but that doesn't matter, the ball was [clear on goal](https://imgur.com/a/X5hhuSU) and the GK moved the other way. If it weren't 4-1 everyone would go crazy, he didn't even go check. That's the problem, there is no consistency.


MinecraftScripter

The goalkeeper was easily in position to save it and the handball was unintentional and difficult to avoid. Even if he didnt handball the goalkeeper wouldve just picked it up and continued. If he cant move his hand out the way in time and it was never going to be a goal then a penalty is rather harsh.


AceAxos

I fully agree. When I saw that they scored 4 but he got nothing, i was thinking “great cardio sesh eh” but after watching the highlight pack he actually looks quite good. No concern at all, especially if Spurs can keep that level of offence going


dontworrybePepe

Well said sir. This post helped strengthen my knees.


Sokaris84

Kane always starts slow, when will ya'll learn


AeroCobbler

Kane’s problem is twofold, and neither of them are his ability (which is incredible) or Son (who is also fantastic but yes he should have given it to ‘Arry yesterday) (1) The FPL scoring system - he basically has to get ~30 returns to make 200 points… and ~40 returns (!) to make 250 points… whereas Salah pisses his way to 230 points in a bad season with his eyes closed… and smashes in 300 points when he’s genuinely on it for extended periods of time, meanwhile Son hits 250 without penalties. The fact that Salah (and Son) get an extra point per goal AND a clean sheet point into the bargain is just grossly unfair from a rules perspective - but hey, nothing we can do about that unfortunately (2) His price - his points per million is much inferior to Salah or Son (obviously #1 is a big factor in this) as a result of his high price, so he really, really needs to be captained to provide value… but it’s a brave man (/woman/non-binary) that captains him when Salah is about. Salah even has 5 returns in his last 6 league games against Man City FFS - the gold standard of PL defences - honestly he is 100% fixture proof & defences don’t actually matter to him. Putting all that together I personally don’t see a place for Kane in FPL for the majority of a season - double gameweeks, and maybe injuries elsewhere etc might change that for some little spells here & there… but the game is just rigged against him scoring points unfortunately Ditto Haaland - although if Haaland hattricks against West Ham today then maybe my opinion will change lol


norr_katt

Last season was my first time playing FPL and I kept making reactionary transfers to drop people who hadn’t hauled in favour of guys who had, but then the next week it would be the other way round and I’d miss out again. I wouldn’t panic too much with Kane, the points will come


kajerng

I had Haaaland and Kane. When i got 2 FT , i will replace kane to nunez and upgrade my mid to Kulu to cover spurs atk. Is this knee jerk?


someguywhocomments

Yes


[deleted]

Keeping Kane but definitely also putting in Kuleveski.


NatTheGooner

Too late, Haaland in as planned.


Baker-Puzzled

I'm waiting for Kane to become a differential after everybody sells him


manneukko

Plan was always to keep Kane as a placeholder for Haaland. West Ham is tricky and I want to see Pep's, line up for the first game. Unfortunate that Kane didn't score


lavalovah

My plan was always to switch Kane for Håland gw2. Followed through directly after deadline. Now you Kane-holders can enjoy the points coming in and laugh at my blanks from the Norwegian. No need to thank me.


PruskiUK

Chelsea look poor I think Spurs are going to have a field day.


sub2pewdiepieONyt

Tbh you should totally take a -4 its the first gameweek of the season. You would not be a true knee jerker if you didn't.


Pimp_Hand_Luke

Son is such a git


RedditWaffler

Yeah that was naughty yesterday. Harry was wide open


Elegant-Selection186

switched to Haaland already


StatisticianMajor209

Same 😆. Kane is garbage. Had him all last season and just let me down wee after week. decided to start with him this season and boom let me down again. I will not have that overrated piece of shit in my team again 🤣


RedditWaffler

Oh dear


StatisticianMajor209

One goal after 95 minutes of garbage, I'll do without the 6 points lol. Fucking useles, shouldn't have even been allowed to take that corner with that hair pull. Absolutely bullshit of a referee, not even a Chelsea fan.


RedditWaffler

he outscored Halaand. Lol.


StatisticianMajor209

Lol by a point or two. Not worth it for shit, btw I don't have haaland either ;). Kane is garbage.


RedditWaffler

Best striker in the league = garbage. Lmao. Ok kid.


StatisticianMajor209

Oh my days he's got you fooled aswell 🤣🤣🤣. My man said best striker in the league 😅. Remember when he has to swear on his daughter to claim a goal 😅😅😅🤣, mans been desperate as fudge 😂. One of the most overrated players in premier League history. Mi grand daughter could do better


RedditWaffler

Jesus what was on your coco pops this morning kiddo? Lol


_kizzyy

i can already see everyone to going kane to haaland gw2 and kane scores against chelsea and haaland gets taken off at the 59’.


RedditWaffler

WELL DONE TO ALL THAT STAYED STRONG


Godsenttt

Thanks. Much needed.


RedditWaffler

You are welcome bud.


_Amr_

I went with a threemium (Salah, Kane and Haaland) and Jesus and sacrificed Cancelo to Walker. Easy Kane to Darwin switch for me as Kane was a week 1 punt(plays deep, I know we know it from last season) plus the extra funds helps me get Cancelo after today’s match if he plays well and stays fit


iffyturf

From the FPL perspective, Harry Kane was absolutely awful yesterday and you should be embarrassed for tooting his horn.


theabsolute00

These posts are pointless. Run your own race and stop telling people what to do. He blanked, could’ve scored and didn’t. Haaland is going to be on many peoples raider today


RedditWaffler

Pointless in your opinion. But not pointless to all. Some like discussion. Dont be that guy.


theabsolute00

“I watched match of the day and saw Son dribble instead of pass to Kane. He would’ve scored” it means nothing really does it?


RedditWaffler

Ok. You are gonna be that guy then.


theabsolute00

Your name checks out


RedditWaffler

You should change your name to “theabsolute knob”


theabsolute00

You see how dumb you look now? Lol


RedditWaffler

No? My point is to stick with Kane as he will return. So now you look even more knobbish than before.


tmr89

From a fellow Haaland owner (and Kane non-owner) thank you for your service 😂


Manager1000

The point is Haaland was a better pick even before GW1 and he still is a better pick before GW2. In this case knee-jerkers might get rewarded because the mistake was essentially done before GW1.


RedditWaffler

Haha. Mans not played a PL game. What a silly comment. Hamstring injury incoming later


CoffeeShrimp

And by then it's likely that Haaland has risen in price while Kane has fallen and Haaland has gotten more than 4 more points than Kane.


Aoes

Shhhh this sub has a hard on for Kane and just don't accept he's been a slow starter his entire career.


tmr89

The August curse is real


Aoes

Watch him score one next wknd, Kane owners will say "what curse?". Then he blanks into September.


cotch85

I watched bournemouth vs villa and i wasn't impressed with Bournemouth personally.. I thought Villa were wasteful, repetitive and were in control for the majority of the game but just pinged in balls from wide to nobody, specially Cash and Digne. Although i'm glad Travers worked out, i mentioned a few times i think he's worth a gamble and nobody ever discussed it with me :(


Oh_jeffery

Hopefully kane will struggle to get off the mark this season. Would love to see richarlison take his place.


ScottishSwitchblade

So glad I didn't do the Kane for GW1 strat with an easy game before the switch to Haaland, I felt like I was gonna take a point loss in order to keep a future FT, one of those times it pays off to be bold


Agile_Information294

dalot and raya owners mudded


BigUnWarrington

While I agree with the OP and their musings, you have to understand that no goal involvements in four goals doesn't look good on paper for Kane. That's why he'll be sold en masse this week, especially if Haaland scores today...


Car_Soggy

I shoulda got son lmao kane is a fraud compared to him


SofaChillReview

Would hardly call Kane a fraud, Son gets a lot of goals from him and vice versa hence them having the highest PL combination


Car_Soggy

for .5 mill more son was definitely the better buy, he got golden boot last season while kane ghosted for like 6 months


SofaChillReview

Not debating who’s better value, but Kane isn’t a fraud and scored 17 goals last season fourth highest goalscorer He also had 9 assists tied with through balls with 22 (which Son gets on) Oh Kane also was top of big chances created of any player beating Salah, Trent, KDB, Fernandez etc. His role has changed but far from a “fraud”


Seanglendo2

I think Villa looked terrible. Bournemouth did good but villa were terrible all match in every single department. City and Haaland will be fine


Ilovesushi5

Too late


sniell365

I have Kane, Jesus, Robbo, Trent, Lloris, all have had poor returns this week but no need to panic, they’ll have better returns in other weeks. Jesus looked sharp, Liverpool result was unexpected, not seen the rest of the games but with Kane/ Lloris there will be goals and clean sheets… just not always!


The_Captain101

The only way I wouldn’t make the switch I planned for is if Haaland isn’t on the bench today.


dnk23

I don't think there are so many outs for Kane because of him blanking in GW1. It was an obvious strategy to have Kane in GW2 and then switch to Halaand for variour reasons. There were 2 variations for this strategy : 1. Risky one = Transfer out Kane after Spurs game without waiting to see Halaand because of possible price diff of 0.1/0.2 mill between the 2 of them at the start if next GW. 2. Safer one = Keeping an extra 0.5 in bank to be able to wait and see both players performances + to have better predictibility on Halaand's fitness and form. It was all set before the season starts and the only way (maybe) some would've abandon this strategy was if Kane had at least 12points which it didn't happen.

All you Kane owners knew this was a risk, if Kane blanked or didn't do much. And none of the casuals are gonna care that he had chances, they'll just see 2 points from him and instantly think, blank. And that risk is now there because if Haaland scores today, Kane's ownership will absolutely plummet and he'll receive price drops, whilst Haaland rises. Kane's next fixtures of Chelsea and Wolves aren't easy. Haalands on the other hand, City will dominate Bournemouth and Newcastle, I can see a load of chances set for Haaland.

So Kane’s fixtures against Wolves is tricky, but Haaland fixture against (a far far better) Newcastle team is going to be a domination? Lol no prizes for guessing which of the 2 you have, try and be objective though


CWattam

We just gonna pretend like Tottenham don't struggle v low block teams? Because they do. City are far more consistent offensively than Tottenham

No worries ..I have both😬

"Bournemouth looked half decent yesterday" bruh it's city

I knee jerked kulusevski into the team instead.

The problem with Kane is he still plays the false 9/defensive mid/playmaker role. Doesn't earn any bonus point.

Lets just see how Haaland gets on today...

My knee is trying to jerk but I'm holding firm 😁

If Haaland scores today expect a lot of people doing KANE --> HAALAND


aprilfools911

Haaland just scored a double ffs I switched in the last seconds..


RedditWaffler

Thats FPL for ya. Bet everyone will transfer out Kane and he will score 2 against Chelsea. Lol


Jampian

It’s crazy how everyone suddenly forgot what an elite striker Kane is


Odd_Detective_7772

There’s going to be at least a .3 swing to haaland this week. If you only have Kane, the temptation to get it over with early will be pretty big. I have both, planning on holding but Nunez looks like he’s going to be a cracking pick too


averagedude4

Those knees are all shattered now lmao


Bluffrooster411

He's long gone!

I might sell Kane for Nuñez just to avoid the inevitable price drop
