Alternative to Kane

[buttonphobic]

So reports suggesting Kane will be sidelined for a month. I think I'm going to avoid City and go for Lukaku, but Firmino worries me.

[Always Next Year]

So you don't have Firmino?

[buttonphobic]

No as he's out of the cup

[buttonphobic]

Although its possible even without those cup games he could still out score Lukaku

Probably reserve 1 forward space for bonus game rotation. Cup replays and rearrangements etc.

I don't have Firmino and seriously swapping him for Kane.

I'm currently in the top 10, so need to really consider who I swap him for.

I really like the rest of liverpools games, the only thing is not being in FA Cup and could be rested for CL.

[buttonphobic]

Have you got Lukaku?

[robot]

Out of the cup but still got a game this week, therefore not so relevant atm,so not really worth not having until the season end fixture congestion?

[LenH]

Back to Firmino for me as well I think.

[Donut]

Kane to Firmino to go along with Lukaku and Son

Probably reserve 1 forward space for bonus game rotation. Cup replays and rearrangements etc.

Don't think they do Cup replays in the later rounds any more

Yes, FA Cup rules changed last season.

Tied quarter-finals go to extra time and potentially a penalty shootout. That's why Swansea-Spurs cup-tie begins at 12:15 this Sat to enable conclusion before 15:00 kick-offs.

Other new rule since 2017 allows for fourth substitute in extra time.

Various suggestions that the aim is for Kane to be back for the Man City game (14th April) which would be a month (though I do think this may be lazy journalism and guesswork). If back then I'd want him back as Spurs will have several (6 plus possible cup?) games left against decent opposition, and will need to keep pushing in the league. Firmino hits the brief of 4 decent games between now and that date, with the option of keeping longer if needed..
