Are you messing?!
Kanes blanks, no goals or assists were:

Newcastle away
Watford away
Liverpool home
Cardiff home
West Ham away
Man City home

We're talking about since Kane's last blank over 90 minutes (which was the City game).

If Kane was valued at 17m would he still be a must have because of his returns??

He's not returning for the price tag he's at and hence he's not a must have. Instead of having 12.6m tied up in him, you could have a much cheaper striker and have 3 premium defenders or more premium mids for instance, who would provide better returns.

People get caught up on comparing him with other strikers as oppose to comparing what you can get for the money.

Go on then, who are the three strikers you suggest going with as an alternative?

He's returning very consistent scores at the moment and has a kind schedule on the way. Exactly what I would want from a premium asset. I'm open-minded though so I'm eager to hear your alternative idea that you're so sure of.

In last 10 he only blanked once. He played 16 minutes in that game.

Bringing up gw1-10 stats when we are at gw20???

Well I'm talking about the whole season so far!

Ace2007

If Kane is such a must have in your eyes, what possible reason could there have been for you to transfer him out last week?

Like of all his states that you are quoting would it not have been madness to TV him out? Can't possible be a "must have" if you were willing to transfer him out for anyone?

Even if you transferred him back in, you never transfer out a "must have" unless he's injured or suspended?:rolleyes:

It's not about having 3 strikers either, there are people playing a 451 formation who have cheap strikers on bench and probably cleaning up with the strong defence and midfield.

In FPL terms whole season is last 5 games maybe. 10 if you really push it.

Nobody cares if one player had a hattrick in June.

It doesn't matter any more.

Reminds me of Salah debate not so long ago.

So much salt it would bring a tear to a glass eye.

Transferring Kane out was a mistake that I rectified, much like my decision to transfer out Salah a few weeks back which I again had to rectify.

Now then, any chance of having those three strikers you recommend as an alternative to Kane?

Of course it matters, if you had that player then, or if you had funds tied up in Kane and he underperforming.
It mattered last year when we had Salah and before with likes of Hazard,Ronaldo & Suarez.

Salah 149 pts now after 20 games. Not far off hitting 300 pts if he keeps up this rate of scoring.

Great return from him considering he didn't start as well as last season.

And that he is allergic to bonus pts. Highest scorer in the game and he only has 9 bps. Rondon, mahrez, lovren have all matched him for bonus. The likes of miljovic, ings, keane have more bonus.

Hard to figure the bias.
They'll probably classify him as a forward next season, as they did with Ronaldo.

Just spotted Mitrovic rose from the ashes to nick one bonus and it has made me irrationality proud and happy

$hit scared of a city backlash today

KevIRL

Some talk on Twitter that Emerson starts today. Could get a lot of Doherty points off the bench for Alonso owners

dsmythy

I was looking forward to the City backlash last week. Maybe it will be a superbacklash this time... Though I'm one City player less now.

If Alonso starts again today we can forever ignore the Emerson starts weekly rumour.

SlickRic

There's rarely such a thing as 'must have'.

Even last season, I saw plenty get top 20k without Salah.

It is basically Alonso vs AWB in my league now to make up the Salah damage......I have 2FT next week and I am struggling to see a transfer that doesnt involve downgrading one of Alonso, Auba, Mitrovic or Kane. Mitrovic has a poor fixture but can easily be benched. Kane has a great run so he will stay. Auba will be captain. Which leaves Alonso with back to back great home fixtures and his Liverpool replacement will be away to city. Once again I could face making a boring transfer for the sake of it.
A lot depends on how Alonso, Hazard and Sane look.

Hennessy on the bench and Guaita Starts.

Is that for sure or could it just be a case of Hennessy having just returned and not risking a reoccurrence? Has anyone seen any quotes from Woy on it?

Didn’t realize the second wildcard is available now.

It always looked like he was never going to stroll back into the team when fit. Having said that, I don't think it would take too much to change things either.

I'd be avoiding either keeper for a while.

He's said there's a battle to be number one. Say Guaita has it as long as he doesn't have a disaster game.

Barkley post

Hazard looks lost out wide

Both of those Chelsea efforts off the post would have been Hazard assists.

Not watching the game. Has Zaha done anything of note?
