Kane getting injured is very nice, frees up a transfer.

May well bank, may well go Firmino to Pedro.

Anyone have any idea on why Funes Mori was dropped? Out of favour or just rested? I might make a change here if he's lost his place.

Kane being out means it's going to be a single transfer for me this week rather than a 4 point hit (Aguero stays).

I've the choice between Snodgrass to Son, Coutinho to Alli or Eriksen, or Mane to Sanchez.

Bit of a conundrum, any thoughts?

Coutinho out is an option for sure, but it's only really the necessary transfer if I'm bringing in Alli or Eriksen. If I go for Son, then I'd be better to take out Snodgrass who didn't even start at the weekend. And if I want Sanchez I can't afford it from Coutinho.

Which of those transfers in would be your priority? The stars have aligned for the Son, but Sanchez is still Sanchez with a nice fixture.

I'm thinking Aguero to Costa, which allows Lanzini to Sanchez.

Worth a -4?

Or else keep Aguero and just do Mane to Sanchez for no hit.

I'm not sure myself tbh....it's getting increasingly tough to get all the big hitters aligned.

Sanchez is indeed Sanchez....you'd have to wonder about his attitude at this stage...will he be busting a nut to prove Wenger wrong or phoning it in as another season ebbs away (??)

Pending the Kane news, I'm now strongly considering Son. Alli/Eriksen probably the safer options but I'm so far behind everywhere it's probably worth the risk.

I can actually go directly from Grosicki to Son...need to decide if it's worth getting Costa in for Aguero for a hit

Going for chelsea players is a good idea.

But what worries me is that Chelsea will win the league early.
Until then it will be Chelsea/Spurs/Man United and relegation battlers teams with something to play for.

When Man City's fixtures get easier again I might look at them, although you never know what team Pep will play.

I am unsure about arsenal for this reason, although the likes of Walcott are sometimes worth a one gameweek risk, as they play better when there is no pressure now and again.

It's a tricky one cause Sanchez in would be the priority imo but Mane is the one I'd least like to sell.

That's the problem really. Kane being the obvious transfer in for Aguero worked for me, because if freed up funds to do Coutinho to Sanchez. Now I'll be 4 points better off and with Aguero, but with a much less obvious midfield transfer to make. I think I'm edging towards Mane to Sanchez at the moment, but I don't know if that would be my opinion, had Janssen not come on and nicked his first goal from open play.

Any thoughts on Vardy?

3 superb fixtures. Looked like last seasons Vardy the last 2 games. Explosive. Differential.

They way I see it (as a Lukaku/Aguero owner needing to replace Zlatan) Costa is the obvious safe option - place the shot and make sure its on target, even if the keeper might save it. Vardy is the 'close your eyes and swing at the ball with all your might' option, it could end up in row z or in the top corner for goal of the season.

Vardy also allows me enough to do Coutinho to Sanchez which would make me much much happier with the shape of my team.

And Aguero to Costa by GW30 (Chelsea home to Palace) is the insurance policy.

Do I need safe or 'hit and hope' after 2 abject gameweeks and 4 straight red arrows? Still having a wildcard opens up the punty options a little too.

I had Vardy in my sights to replace Lukaku in GW 30, so i think hes definitely a viable option. I'd like to leave it a week personally to see if the Leicester 'bounce' continues now that Shakespeare has the job to the end of the season.

I can't justify Aguero to Vardy as a -4 this week. At least I don't think so. I'm thinking of bringing Vardy in next week instead.

Worth doing Coutinho to Son for a -4?

Already have Mane and Eriksen

What's the other transfer?

Major surgery required on my team so going to be taking a point hit no doubt. Am I correct in thinking that I should be trying to stack my team with Arsenal, United and Southampton players seeing as they all have 12 games left to play? Obviously only where it makes sense!

It might be worth doing it. Do you've major surgery to be done in your team in the coming weeks? If so, probably worth doing, if not, might be worth doing for free next week.

Apologies for any offence caused.

Let me rephrase / clarify what I mean:

From a Fantasy Football perspective, Kane missing matches is beneficial to my team and hurts my rivals.

I wish no ill will to Harry Kane the person. It's a shame for him to get injured when having such a great season - but anyway a bit off topic, we'll leave that for the Soccer forum.

Apologies again for my initial choice of words.

Back to my initial post, I did a bit of research and it doesn't look good for Funes Mori owners like me. Looks like Everton fans have been calling for him to be dropped for a while now, and Everton keeping a clean sheet with him out of the squad probably indicates that Jagielka will take his place.

I could get Costa for Ibra this week and Aguero to Vardy for GW30, but that wouldnt leave enough to get Sanchez for Coutinho this week.

Don't​ know what to do with Kane now. Had planned on getting Pedro as Chelsea cover and not sure I want to double up with Costa just yet. Plan was to get Gabbiadini soon but not for Spurs away. Would it be mad to just bench Kane and focus on midfield and defensive transfers this week? Will probably take at least a -4.
