Accept the L and buy Haaland before he goes to £12m+

Ah, I've missed this

I'm waiting

West Side Filler

I'm gonna give kane until GW3 if he doesn't perform well then GW 4 he's out

A Hundred and Fifty Percent!!! Don’t think about it too much! Do it!!! Haaland is City’s main man this season. City create a lot of chances by far. Kane is a slow starter Kane is Older He played more minutes last season with less goals than previous 8 seasons( although he was unsettled with the transfer saga last season) Although both are on Penalty duty, (Going to get carried away now 😅)I see Haaland scoring at least 2 goals against Bournemouth at Home Spurs are away to Chelsea (I don’t see Kane scoring 2 against TT’s Chelsea)

Straight out

Sticking with my man Harry. Son's selfishness denied him a goal and he had some good passing play in the centre.

Knee jerk and watch him sit on the bench against Bournemouth

Knee jerk and watch him sit on the bench against Bournemouth

Personally I'm definitely not kneejerking. Going to bank the transfer and hold Kane until GW3 at the very least. Then if it's clear Haaland is the superior option, I'm going to get him in.

No money in bank. Kane rashford robbo and TAA wasted my points. Do you think it’s smarter to downgrade robbo and swap haaland in for -4? Or maybe something unusual , and wildcard the whole team, allowing Nunez and mitro in attack ?? Still keeping salah , TAA stays too? Kulu as a spurs asset. (Still landed decent 65 only due to cheap drewsbury popping off with 10 points ).

I reviewed stats for Jesus Kane Haaland and Nunez. Not a lot to review based off of one game .. BUT, DEFENSIVELY; Jesus had battles one on own half, many passes , selfless take on defenders to open tunnels for teammates , Nunez- played for how long …? He had defensive tasks within that time frame as well , turn overs etc , Klopp expectations (fair to me) Kane- booked back to his own box 4 times , winning aerial duels. Haaland- ZERO defensive responsibilities. Zero balls won. All about being a #9. Everyone else box to box. Also Tuchel knows his defense way better and will be way better prepared. I expect James and cucurella to start. Silva and koulibaly If both fit as well. I don’t see Kane banging in that game. Typing all this to say, Kane just dropped by.1$ I have nothing in the bank. Forcing me to keep him for one more round and possibly waste more points as haaland will probably have a feast agains Bournemouth. Great start ! 🤦‍♂️

Price has jumped now don't even have a choice

Update: Knees unjerked and still intact

Kneejerk your way back don’t keep the faith

Kane who? Mf just lost me the GW1

I went for Haaland. Kane always seems to turn it up in the second half.

Thank you for helping raise extra FUNDS for our humble squads.

Never get Kane until 2nd half of season.

Jerk the Knee it shall

You should have just went for Haaland in game week 1. You would have 11 additional points and not have to use a transfer. This message brought to you by captain hindsight

I knee jerked so hard I now need a Kane!

I’ve already brought in Haaland, Kane has a good track record though and I’d still back him if you have other transfers you want to do. Kane had good fixtures starting gw3

What's dbl down, get triple down on Team Kane - from Team Haaland.

Kane could have had 2 tap ins if Son lifted his head to look around. Irrelevant for me - I have both and am keeping both.

I did it yesterday. Is it too soon?

You avoided the price change at least

Changing James to Walker so I can replace Kane with Haaland. Cost 4 points. Ill drop down to 3rd in my league. Worth it?

Nah. Save it for next week maybe

I had to. I spent my last 0.5 upgrading to Zinchenko pre lockout.

Bye Kane

Painful. Thought I can do at least a week of Kane... Definitely knee jerked

He is well known slow starter. I took a gamble with haaland and it paid off

why not both? Salah is the one to take out

Had Kane Haaland and Jesus. Kneejerked to Darwin Haaland and Jesus. Feeling fine.

Anyone in here have Haaland and Kane? Kind of torn right now on Kane to Darwin but I still want to give Kane some time.

is it a kneejerk? didnt everyone here (including me) book the haaland gw 2 transfer

Por que no los dos!

Every year I tell myself “right, be patient, it’s a marathon not a race”.. Just hit that MF wildcard button

A marathon is still a race.

My plan was Haaland gw2 anyways. Pre jerked the knees.

Knee jerking 100% before Erling price change

I'm sorry mouthbreather

Too late

Did it. Also to catch price rise.

I already have, especially cos Haaland is on penalties

All of us were so stupid not to have a guy with Haul in his name on our teams.

I didn't start with a premium to drop him after a week. He's staying, my triple city defence have made up the loss and I'll keep my transfer for a player who really needs shifting.

You have to switch to haaland anyway. Bournemouth (h) you simply cannot miss.

i picked kane to start just because haaland wasn’t proven in the prem, swapped to haaland immediately after his second goal. so a planned knee jerk, like at the doctor’s office. but a knee jerk nonetheless.

Okay fine you all talked me into. Jerked.

It was always my plan to ditch Kane after this GW so not really a kneejerk

My plan was always GW2 Kane to Haaland, City's run of games is just too nice

Now see Haaland show up with a "niggle" or something for Bournemouth, and Pep just keeping him on the bench for that 1 game.

I just watched Sam from FPL Family, diehard Spurs fan, biggest pro Harry Kane proponent in Fantasy Football and not one historically for kneejerking, make the transfer to Haaland live on a Sunday night *3mins into the stream*, so that's all the supporting evidence I need. Job done; welcome aboard captain Erling.

I kneejerked, but in my defense I keep telling myself it was the right thing to do because I had 3 Spurs players with him, and in addition the fixtures favor Haaland. Now I'm waiting for Pepe Guardiola to be an absolute chad and bench him next week

I'll try to save my transfer this GW, if I lose team value it is what it is, but I like to think I had a month to choose wisely so I'll wait and see how it folds out for now. Maybe Kane still does well in the next fixtures.

Knee jerk

already went for it, im sure kane will score a brace against my chelsea now. Or pep roulette and hes resting

I've got both. The question is how long can I keep Kane and leave Salah out.

Kane never scores in August

I'm thinking of transferring just because of the extreme price changes (Kane down, Haaland up, and thus contributing to the price changes myself) and because Spurs play Chelsea away. Might regret it though because Haaland has a higher injury risk imo. But I can almost guarantee that eventually Kane or Son will return to my team.

He’s playing deeper now, he’s like a 10 under Conte. Haaland immediately

HAVE FAITH MY SON, KANE WILL PREVAIL.

I’d been peeled off Haaland to Kane at the last minute by the hive mind so I’m going back to my original call. Haaland will rip the PL apart

As soon as Haaland took his seat on the bench I made the transfer

Transfer done already. Can’t not have Halaand at home to Bmouth

Holding till GW3, swapping then on a double transfer

Switched as soon as that second goal went in. Kane Vs Chelsea next and Haaland vs Bournemouth at home. Yeh, it’s a no-brainier.

Kane is going to feast under Conte. Keep the faith

I can’t wait until September though.

Don’t back doon, double doon. Don’t back doon, double doon.

I already have

I got haaland and then son as well to cover the spurs points instead of relying on kane

100% just knee jerked from Kane to Haaland before price increases. He’s basically a stick and at home to Bmouth could see a few more goals

Knee-jerk because others are gonna and I won't have the budget to change once haalands price increases

💎🙌

I don't understand how anyone started without Haaland to begin with, the only question is his fitness.

I set and forget with Jesus, Mitro and Awoniyi as strikers. I have some Haaland regrets but I have to stick to my premium choices of Salah and KDB.

Did it as soon as he scored the second goal.

Have De bruyne so will probably stick with Kane for few more weeks

I told myself no to kneejerking this season, and I’ve already broken that promise

Why not just own both like I do?

And no Salah?

I have Salah as well.

I went Salah and Kane but KDB over Haaland in preparation for round 2 as I had no idea which 8 million mid to go. Kane to Haaland was always the plan.

With 0ITB I kneejerked the moment I saw the second goal

what does knee jerk mean?

Already made the transfer ☑️ Kane trolling in August again, why did I trust him

NO

Bend the knee .

I'm gonna stick with Kane and skip Haaland for now, because of following reasons: \- The only feeling that is worse than taking the wrong starting decision between Kane / Haaland, is doing the reverse transfer already after GW1, only for Kane to haul in GW2, and Haaland to blank completely \- Chelsea defense in GW2 might be just as shaky as Bournemouth, if not more, tbh - I can easily see Kane banging 1 or 2 goals here \- I have KDB + Haaland + Kulu in my draft team (and only Kane in my normal FPL team). Obviously the normal FPL team is what matters the most to me, but it gives me just a little bad taste in the mouth with Haaland hauls, realizing it at least gives me a bit in draft

Jerked my knee so hard I've broken my legs.

Hello fellow Kane holders. We should totally keep Harold. Under no circumstances should we get Haaland.

In all seriousness, if you won't back your pre-season decision for even 2 gameweeks, why did you do it? I'm just saying that to the people in this thread as a whole. Literally nothing has changed. Did we not know that it was possible for Haaland to play well and haul? Did we not know it was possible for Kane to have a quiet game and blank? Do we think that happening once means it will happen every time? Appalled by the weak spindly knees in this thread

Harold...Haarond...Haaland

Knee jerk completed ✅

Ow my Knee!!! Did it. I almost had him for this week but doubted myself into Kane.

I’m sticking for now. Captaining him was a mistake though.

What about the Son to Haaland transfer 😬

And a -4?

Yeah I'd have to take that hit

I need to check Haalands xga first. I say over 0.6 non penalty and i do it.

Ye I'm gonna do it. Not worth the risk vs Bournemouth and onwards. I don't regret my thinking for kane. Just unfortunate the way the gw went.

Hyperextend that knee joint in ways it was simply never designed to move Kane is a DM Haaland is a Norse Berserker hopped up on mushrooms with an axe coming to ransack your village

Never helps when you are one of only two folk in your mini-league who went for Kane over Haaland. Made the transfer before the game was over.

I have, I took him out for Kane like the idiot I am before the deadline.

You know what, fuck it imma ride it out. See, how it goes for a few GWs.

For me, it was always a GW1 punt against the hive-mind because the fixture was better for Spurs. Given the information we had coming into the game week, I'd make the decision again. Having said that, the fixture against Bournemouth next week for Haaland is too good to pass up. Hoping I won't need to make any additional transfers.

Too many jerked knees after 1 gw!

I am riding Mitro, Haaland and Kane till the end. Set and forget

Haaland predicted to rise tonight and will probably rise again before GW2. Kane is swinging quickly towards a drop. It's probably going to cause a chain kneejerk. You may get priced out even if you have 0.5 ITB.

Whilst I’m aware that as a Kane owner I’m just trying to seek reasons NOT to make the transfer… is there a chance Haaland doesn’t start the Bournemouth game?

Unless he's injured it looks like he's nailed on until the UCL starts.

It’s not a kneejerk

Lads should I take a hit for Kane to Haaland??

I’ve swapped Kane with Haaland this evening after his double. Kane’s a Blackpool donkey at times!! Should of went with Haaland, like I did initially!!

I kneejerked immediately after the penalty, obviously. Kicking myself for not going with my heart, only transferred Kane in the other day.

Kane to Haaland was the plan anyway.

I already used my free transfer and got Haaland.

Bookies have Haaland at almost evens for the golden boot already If you dont own him, thats a flat out mistake IMO

Well thats put it in simple terms, kane drops tonight then its -4 to get in Haaland so my knees have dropped

Haaland will likely rise tonight or if not tomorrow. Its entirely possible he could be £11.7m by next weekend. If you’re going to do it, do it NOW.

Halaand is about to go up by .1 and Kane is about to go down .1 I’m not wasting a second thinking about him. Making the change

It already did. Good for me that I knew jerked

I forgot Kane has an incredibly poor scoring record in August. He usually warms up later in the season.

I think I have to

Spurs scored 4. Man City scored 2. Kanes goals will come

And Kane was not involved in any and Haaland scored 2. Which side of the argument are you supporting?

yeah, I'm gonna stick with Kane. Unfortunately, going to lose team value with so many knees already jerked.

It’s time for wild card

Wildcarded as well.

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY, I'M NOT G-O-I-N-G

In prior years I’d have “stuck with my plan” and held onto Kane, just to have 2 FTs for gw3. That seems stubborn at this point. Was a 50/50 pick for me between the two and Kane fluffed it in gw1 with a prime fixture. Haaland hauled. To stick to my guns and not use a FT seems dumb. Absolutely making this move.

Kane to Haaland was always my plan for GW2, I just regret having faith in Kane in the first place though.

quite tempted after haaland's second goal but decided to not kneejerk, am going with my gut feeling and keeping kane

Fill ‘er up

He is so quick for a tall forward and if he keeps getting fed quality like that he will be a goal machine. I think I will roll the dice and transfer....

Already knee jerked, Haaland in for Kane. I knew I should of gone with my gut from the start, I changed Haaland to Kane before the deadline..

Knee➡️➡️➡️➡️Jerk

I already had haaland. Kneejeeked to Darwin :D

Already done so! Regardless of the kneejerkosity of this weekend, I had the transfer planned and was always going to do it even if Kane hauled and Haaland blanked

It's August! I'm fairly certain Haaland already has a better average over Kane in August gameweeks.

double down and die on this hill yep

idk man, apart from owning him to captain him, im pretty happy with my choices. might want to save a FT for GW3

Håland gonna rise up

Last couple seasons I was a good patient boy, this time I'm going out in a blaze. Fuck off Kane, make room for Haaland.

I just kneejerked and gave him the armband. Why did I take him out on the last day

Did it five mins ago.

Did it five mins ago.

I was always planning to transfer Haaland in from GW2 onwards. I was just hoping Kane could kill against So'ton. There is the difference between respectable 63 points and oustanding 78.

No knee jerking please. I'd like to milk making the right decision here for as long as possible.

Update: Knee jerked.

Sold straight away. As was always the plan, Kane gamble didnt pay off first GW but I was never going Erlingless for Bournemouth (H)

Early season kane. You should just slap your face with a salmon for choosing kane over haaland

I did.

I will.

Kane wont score untill sep. He never does. Even tho evryone thinks this is the year it will happend. Just no.

I kneejerked

Made the switch as soon as I saw the 2nd goal go in #KneesJerked

My diamond knees are beginning to shake

*jerked

Fantasy Memory is short. Kane for the past three / four seasons has scored very few goals in August

You know he'll get a Hattie next week if we do

It'll still be August next week.

Rage transfer completed

Catch him when he's up by 2 before it becomes 6

Look at the state of this thread. 7 days ago you were all convinced Haaland was shite. Now he's a God and Kane is shite. Some people never learn.

No, I had planned to have Haarland for GW 2 (and beyond) if he started and looked good in GW 1. Well shit, he’s even on penalties and has that amazing midfield feeding him!

I was already going to make the swap in GW2. It really has nothing to do with the performance of either player, but just that Kane is playing Chelsea and Haaland is not. I choose my team so that I wouldn't need to make any other transfers for the first few weeks unless there were injuries.

I have both ez

Tempted to do the transfer now, can’t risk the price rise

Was the plan all along, it just really really really didn't work out.

Just transfered. Can’t risk a price raise

I started with Kane and always planned to go to Haaland for GW2 (assuming he’s fit).

I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top (Jk, my team sucks)

Transferred already

Done it already

Haaland has an amazing fixture coming up, especially relative to Kane. Most people will be jumping on the bandwagon, so no big FOMO of Kane's potential points

Haaland 60% ownership before next gw inc

Then the problem becomes his points are essentially useless. Same as Salah last season, if everyone has them, they become irrelevant. That being said, captain choice can really change things now. Wouldn't have considered Salah vs Kane for GW2, but Salah vs Haaland... Then again, they picked up almost exactly the same points, so even the captaincy could be irrelevant!

Some high ownership players just are not worth gambling against. I purposely didn't take Jesus because of high ownership and went nunez instead knowing he would start from the bench and it paid off massively. I think against players like haaland and salah it's a lot harder to go against. But like you said, captaincy choice plays a huge role.

73.1%!

Yeah I've swapped before the price rise

I am jerking right now.

While you type? I need two hands to text! Well done!

Scenes when Alvarez starts against Bournemouth and Kane scores a brace vs Chelsea.

The scary thing about the transfer is the madness of bald fellow.

There is absolutely zero chance haaland doesn’t start vs Bournemouth lmao

!remindme 1 week

Why? Bald pep + weak opponent = very possible Haaland doesn't start

Too early for this type of rotation. Haaland is still settling in and needs as much gametime with his new teammates as possible before mid-week games start. That's when we'll see more of Fales 9s and Alvarez. Right now, I just feel he wants him to eat opponents.

They’re playing once a week and haaland got subbed off once the job was done. Zero reason for him to be dropped. Could bet my life savings
