Hi guys,

I am in the top 1,000 on Fantasy Premier League (out of about 3.5m <yikes>), and need your help/advice so I can stay there!

I need a striker, but cannot decide who.
I already have Aguero and Giroud, but who should my final spot go to...?

Kane

Next 4:
West Brom (A)
Arsenal (H)
Liverpool (A)
West Ham (H)

Ings

Sunderland (A)
West Brom (H)
Man United (A)
Chelsea (A)

Gayle

Everton (H)
Leicester (A)
Newcastle (H)
Arsenal (H)

Defoe

Burnley (H)
Swansea (A)
QPR (H)
West Brom (H)
 
Reminds me that I haven't checked my team in ages - forgotten the password so never will now.

If only it was easy as picking a player because he will be playing `smaller` teams.
Kane for what it´s worth.

Well, that is half the game...

Do you honestly think Kane will score more goals against WBA, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham, than Defoe will against Burnley, Swansea, QPR and WBA?

Yes ... I watched Kane take Chelsea apart ... could you see Defoe being able to do that these days? ... I can't.

This is true, but signs suggest it may be a one-off...

Blanks at home to Sunderland, and not scoring in 180 minutes against Sheffield United are testament to that...

Plus, Arsenal and Liverpool seem to be tightening up as of late... Whereas Burnley are going the other way, after conceding 4 to Tottenham in the FA Cup and 3 at home to Palace...

I just think Defoe at home to Burnley, and then at home to QPR (who have a TERRIBLE away record) may equal goals...

Or it could mean none :D

... didn't he set Ericksen up for the equaliser against Sheff United? .. and don't you get points for assists / key contributions? ... he'll certainly outperform Defoe with those <laugh>

I didn't realise he got the assist for that, my bad.

Anyway, this is why I started the thread, so people could talk me out of the crazy decision to get Defoe...

Now you have made me think... Hmm!
 
Just had to put Costa, who was my captain, at 3rd choice sub for the next 3 weeks so do I go for Kane as capt now or promote my vice capt Fábregas ?

He's out for 3 weeks, and misses a gameweek due to the League Cup final. You have to sell him, IMO.

I'm getting in Giroud, but Alexis' injury has thrown my captaincy choice out the window... Might have to be Giroud himself...
 
I have 3 players suspended, Bartrand (3 wks) , Costa & Sigurdsson (both 2) & also Fábregas with a hamstring. I may need to use that wild card after all. Alot of pressure being an FPL manager.

Gona have to hold my hands up and admit defeat on this one, Fosse <yikes>

I bow to your superior knowledge, I may well be asking you for advice in future! <laugh>
 
Looking at that Defoe but now the nonce has been suspended they have lost one of their most creative players

Take a punt on Kramaric!
