The Burning Question – Do we sell or keep Kane before Gameweek 22

During this most wonderful time of the year, we’re frequently told that it is better to give than to receive.

So in the spirit of Christmas, the first in a series of Burning Questions asks whether it’s time to give Harry Kane the elbow, or continue to receive meagre points – albeit with the potential for a whole lot more – from the out of sorts Spurs talisman.

To consider this conundrum, we’ve brought together a panel of heavy-hitting Fantasy managers to team up with our regular Fantasy Football Scout contributors.

Last season’s top two in Fantasy Premier League, Ben Crabtree and Uwais Ahmed, are joined by the current leaders of both our “live” and “career” Hall of Fame – Jay Egersdorff and Peter Kouwenberg – to study the issue.

To counter balance their expertise, this week our very own Mark takes his turn to debate our first festive Burning Question – do we sell or keep Harry Kane before Gameweek 22?

Jay Says…

For me it’s a short-term keep.

Harry Kane faces Stoke City and Brighton in quick succession – and both at home.

Likewise, he has no Champions League duties to worry about midweek as Spurs are though as group winners already and I’d expect Mauricio Pochettino to rest a number of key players.

They desperately need to get back on track in the league; their title bid is all but gone while the Champions League places are slowly drifting away too.

Yes, they’ve had a rocky patch, but I’m expecting Spurs to return to the mean.

Look at Everton a fortnight ago – people were backing them for a relegation battle, but two wins inside a week has seen them back in mid-table, which is a more accurate reflection of their default status.

Two good home matches in a week is a similar opportunity for Spurs, and I see them earning maximum points, with Kane a key architect.

As regards the Double Gameweek 22, I think it would be wise to have a free transfer carried over from Gameweek 16 or 17.

This would allow a Kane downgrade ahead of Man City and then Burnley away – two fixtures where, if he’s still off form, you’d expect long odds for him to regain his scoring streak against two mean defences.

The second free transfer would enable you to redistribute the money freed up by selling Kane as another forward might emerge by then.

It’s fair to say that Alvaro Morata is currently the only nailed-on big hitter and he’s sat on four yellows – another argument for the idea of a short-term Kane ‘wait and see’ option.

Peter Says…

Just over a third of us have blindly gone from week to week increasingly desperate that Spurs’ own ’Arry Kane must be about to rediscover the form which has brought him matching Premier League Golden Boots.

And week after week, the naked truth has been that Kane – and Spurs – are more pinchbeck than prolific this season.

Captaincy options aside, this game is about finding value.

At 12.8, the striker is the FPL Goliath for price, yet 17 players are within ten points of him (and many ahead of Kane’s 82), while Mohamed Salah is disappearing over the horizon with a 31-point advantage.

Significantly for Kane’s owners, that collection includes Pascal Großs (6.0), Richarlison (6.6) and Aaron Ramsey (7.2).

Put bluntly, the value now lies in midfield and defence, and the output of the premium strikers no longer justifies the heavy investment required.

For me, Kane will probably be handed his P45 before Spurs visit the Etihad in Gameweek 18.

No doubt he’ll score before returning to my squad for that alluring Double Gameweek 22, but so will many other options who cost half Kane’s fee and will allow me to strengthen all round for the hectic Christmas period.

Ben Says…

Given the double in Gameweek 22, where he should be essential (we’ll see), transferring him out means using two free transfers out of the next seven on one player.

In fact, it might work out at more than two transfers as that 12-something million gets spread around the team: bye bye Elliot, hello De Gea; bye bye Loftus-Cheek, hello Ramsey etc.

Factor in the potential points Kane can get against Stoke City, Brighton and Southampton and it’s a simple decision to keep him for most managers.

However, if you want to do better than most managers, could a Kane sacrifice be rewarded by the FPL gods with differential captain points and multiple player upgrades?

I actually think yes, there will be a few ways to make ditching more profitable than keeping. It’s just extremely risky and difficult to find them.

There are against the grain, ahead of the curve and differential decisions to make that fly you up the rankings, but for me this isn’t one of them.

Selling is a high risk, low probability move. Captain Kane against Stoke for me, because definitely this time he’s definitely “due”.

Uwais Says…

If you look at the fixtures in isolation from now until Double Gameweek 22, you would say that there are some real opportunities for Kane to fire – and fire big.

However, we are now approaching the halfway mark of the season, and I believe that it is proving increasingly difficult to justify his selection until those double fixtures.

He sits second only to Alvaro Morata in the forward standings, but the fact is that given his relatively pedestrian returns of late, his price tag is just too restrictive when considering what else that money could do with our squads.

We now have enough of a sample size from Spurs’ performances so far this season, and the fact is that they are not playing with the same attacking verve and cohesion as we have seen in recent years.

Having watched them closely recently, they seem to be playing safe and what I call ‘ball to feet’ football and Kane does not look as threatening as in previous seasons.

For his price tag of 12.8, you would expect consistent points and occasionally explosive returns.

Given the fact that other premium players such as Hazard, Coutinho, Firmino and Sanchez are now showing signs of life and we also have consistent performers in Salah and De Bruyne to turn to, the fact is that those funds are probably best placed elsewhere at present.

Until Gameweek 22, that is!

Mark Says…

It seems all kinds of wrong to lose faith in Kane.

But such a view is part of my own DNA. While somewhat “maverick” and aggressive as a Fantasy manager, I’m also known to cling to the comfort of FPL’s “top asset”, whoever that might be. Whether it’s Robin van Persie or Sergio Aguero, historically, I’m all over them.

So I’m a Kane zealot, deciding to sacrifice him feels like a wrench and against my instincts.

I can’t deny that I’m tempted, and that the decision to keep him could well scupper my season.

Typically, I turn to statistics to justify my viewpoints and the same applies here.

As we mentioned in The Digest earlier today, after 15 Gameweeks Kane has scored goals at exactly the same rate at the same point in his 29-goal Golden Boot season.

However, this season he’s fired shots at double the frequency (15.2 minutes vs 30.4 minutes) and, for all the talk on the quality of his shots, he’s had 12 big chances to last season’s seven at this stage.

That screams for me to sit tight and wait for Kane’s natural goalscoring instincts to kick back in.

So that’s what I’ll do, perhaps until Gameweek 21 when, if I can somehow manoeuvre to have two free transfers, I’ll be shipping him out temporarily.

If there was a compelling straight swap, I might just reconsider for his tougher short-term fixtures. However, selling him on and redistributing the funds over my squad – which is surely a necessity – doesn’t appeal when I know I’ll want and need him back.

    Looking to downgrade Vardy (current strikers Lukaku and Kane) to upgrade Choupo.

    Choupo to Coutinho,
    Vardy to...

    A. Calvert-Lewin
    B. Diouf
    C. Tammy Abraham

    Would also appreciate alternatives to Coutinho and the forwards.

    2. Woy_is_back

      Hazard over Kane probably. If Joe Hart starts then Hazard no doubt. 😛

      So you don't want any English teams in quarter finals?

        Well done

      2. Gimli son of Gloin

        All capable of winning those ties think, except for Spurs.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Spurs beat Real Madrid. Bayern aren't the same force they used to be.

          Anything is possible.

      City PSG for a semi or final would be immense

    Captain choice this week it's hard! What would you do?

    1) Kane
    2) Hazard
    3) Salah

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years

      1)

      1. GE
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Tempted by this as I have captained Kane for his last 5 matches, so seeing Kane gets a haul when suddenly turning to Salah/Hazard will hurt.

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Stoke are awful away to the big six

          1. GE
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Haven't thought about that, Thanks!

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 9 Years

      I'd do Kane. But I'm shocking at picking captains

      1. GE
        • 8 Years

        Have captained Kane for the last 5 matches 🙂

        Actually a good point about Everton

      2

    5. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Worries that Sam will have Everton too solid for a big Salah Haul.

      Kane for me but I’m sure Hazard will do well.

      1. GE
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        So Flip a coin? 😉

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Probably as scientific as any other method!

          I have Kane and Morata and have the armband on Kane.

          If I had Hazard I’d probably still go Kane. Mainly because Stoke are not a sit back and defend team.

          1. GE
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Interesting! In your position I would definetely go Kane. Do you also have Salah?

            Just like Watford were haha.

    What would you rather do (for free)? Silva to:

    A) Richarlison and 2.4 for upgrading defence
    B) Rambo and 1.8 for upgrading defence
    C) Phil and 0.1 ITB

    Rest of team is:

    Pope Elliot

      A or B look good as think u need some cash into defence. Would prob go for Ramsey

  8. Clucas

    6 years, 11 months ago

    Everybody is talking about Kane but let's remember that the entire team isn't playing as expected ESPECIALLY ALI and Eriksen,

    Until they don't come up as an unit again, Kane will not be the same player like in the last season.

    From my point of view, Eriksen is the piece that needs to regain form.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Very true

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        It has been a bad run, but they are naturally skilful and will pick up soon where they left of.

    2. Sam feasts
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      This is the exact problem, Kane isnt playing sooo bad. The Dane and Alli are pivotal to Kane, until they regain form the band is going elsewhere

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Wanyama back would also be good

  9. LarryDuff

    can the English teams not face each other in the last 16? 😮

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      No

    2. Sánchez

      These tournaments are stupid
      Might as well just fix the draws
      Seedings and teams kept apart too much
      Too predictable

      We don't know anyone whose qualified for 2018/19 yet
      But we know the last 4 will include at least 3 from Barca, Real, PSG and Bayern

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Spot on. Champions league is so dull these days, the group stages are the same every year. Sooner they just create a European super league the better

        1. Sánchez
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          It'll happen. It'll ruin football but will come. And will be like NFL with no promotion or relegation.

          Remember when a game like Juventus v Barca was once every 15 years or so because they weren't all in it every single year? Was like a treat in those days because a club of that level could go 7, 8 years without qualification.

          Now its just saturated. Just loses its appeal. I've watched 2 CL games (finals) in the last 3 seasons

    3. LarryDuff
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      beyond stupid! not really a test of the best of the best if clubs are kept apart over this

      1. Sánchez
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Its not at all competitive
        Not until the last 8
        And even then, only 2/4 of those games are usually competitive

          He could become essential again all of a sudden. He's more dangerous than any of the others you intend to buy. Save it until you can make the big upgrade with the spare cash at the same time

    Stoke almost always get battered away to the big six if memory serves me well. I think I'm going to roll the dice on Kane one last time even though switching away from him brought so much success last week.

    Also, in relation to the article. I'll be keeping unless it's blindingly obvious I should sell. If he keeps ticking over like he has been, he's not going anywhere

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed. Hazard after a midweek game, Kane with a rest.. I'll be captaining him.

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 7 Years

      I like your Xmas grav

      I agree, but am tempted to make a punt on Laca after Brighton and get Kane back GW22

      I’m backing Kane too, despite being a Hazard & Salah owner

    Mustafi! That son of a....any latest news on him?

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Was just about to ask. If he's fit I imagine he'll be straight back in, Mertesacker isn't really an option at this level any more.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        There is suggestion online that he wasn't injured - certainly not physically. .....

        Ie pretended to be crocked...

        There may be an issue with wenger....

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Definitely a possibility. He lost the ball in a completely unacceptable manner resulting in a goal for the opposition. It'd be a shocking thing for a pro footballer to do 15 minutes into a game though.

    I took a -4 hit this week to get rid of Kane:
    Kane out - DCL in
    RLC out - Hazard in

    I justified this because Hazard is vastly outperforming Kane & the way Spurs are playing I wouldn't captain Kane. Watford was supposed to be the ideal game for Kane to haul & it just didn't happen (I actually captained Salah).
    Also DCL is outscoring RLC atm so my trades came down to:
    Hazard v Kane & DCL v RLC & I believe I've made the right choice:
    My midfield is now - Hazard, Salah, Sane, Sterling, Richarlison
    My forwards are - Motata, Wilson, DCL
    My defense is - Azpi, Otamendi, Daniels, Mee, Moreno

    I will be playing either 4-5-1 or 3-5-2
    I now have 1.3itb.

      Prepare yourself mentally for Haz being rested and Kan unleashing hell on Stoke.

      1. white lightning
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        That could happen of course. But I've read this unleashing hell comment every week but it has never happened. Not saying it won't but if you're not going to captain Kane & he's being matched, if not bettered by much cheaper options then the argument to keep him is flawed.

      Players get little runs of good form and then blank (Sane of few weeks ago ?), then get a good run again - Kane due a run of good form ... Hazard due to cool off.

      Rotate by all means to catch the gravy train, but a -4 to take out the second highest goal scorer ? Ballsy

    Mourinho on Man Utd's injured players' chance of playing v Man City: "Eric Bailly no chance for the weekend, Phil Jones a chance, Fellaini a chance, Zlatan a big chance and Matic is injured but will play for sure. Carrick, no chance."

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      What happened to Carrick?

      1. Sánchez
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Time

      2. Team Cruel

        Underwent cardiac ablation treatment because of irregular heart rhythm.

    2. Sánchez
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Matic is injured but will play?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Hrs probably not actually injured, he's just having a dig at some of the 'softer' players

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        After he complained about Southgate doing the same with Jones?

        1. Sánchez
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Yep

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Jones is made of glass and lasted 20 minutes ... Matic is made of granite

          1. Sánchez
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I thought that was Xhaka?

  19. Freddo

    Mark rubbishing Jontys Kane plan on the Scoutcast, can see Jonty trying to hold his own without much conviction.

    Burnley and City tough fixtures (according to him) but ignoring the part where he's killed Chelsea and Arsenal in the past, big game player, Mark is warning him, looks like it's going over his head.

  20. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    So even though Jones looks to be back, Is Jones - > Christensen still a good move going forward?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If Jones is fit he goes straight in

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Worried that he'll be heavily rotated with everyone fit

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Never - if fit he plays and Utd get clean sheets. Since he has been injured Utd have had 1 cleanie in 4 PL games

  21. Super Silva Haze
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    1ft but .. 0.1 short to do Sane to Coutinho. Do i save the transfer or bring in Sterling and upgrade one of those defenders with extra 0.5 ?

    Fabianski
    Maguire Ward Otamendi
    Hazard Salah Richarlison Sane
    Morata Kane Calvert-Lewis

    Elliot Duffy Carroll Mbemba

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Keep Sané and assess next week

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      People were taking hits 2 weeks ago to bring in Sane ... just saying ...

    Hi guys!

    Pope/Elliot
    Christensen/Gomez/Simpson/Naughton/Daniels
    Silva/Salah/Eriksen/GroB/Caroll
    Lukaku/Firmino/Morata

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    What would you do with this squad ? Any ideas ?
    Was thinking of getting rid of Eriksen and getting in Ramsey instead or Ozil.

    Mourinho on Shaw: 'He was deserving of that opportunity for quite a long time and he's going to get more because the performance was really positive.'

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 7 Years

      Good good, nice to hear Mou not slating him in public

    2. LarryDuff

      who's the new whiping boy so?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Probably Mkhi. And deservedly so because a player with lesser talents (Lingard) has been showing 10x the effort/determination in the past weeks.

  24. LarryDuff
    • 9 Years

    Anyone think that Kane has been a let down and that Spurs are a bit more shite this season?

      Anyone not think that?

  25. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A) femenia, sanchez, firmino/vardy
    B) kolasinac, coutinho, lacazette

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years

      B

  26. George James
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Best combo

    A) DDG, Moreno, Ramsey

    B) Ryan , Zeegelaar, Coutinho

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Viper

      A

    3. George James
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers guys. Certainly the more balanced option

  27. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A. Jones - > Christensen (bench Daniels)

    B. Start Daniels. Save FT. Go without Chelsea defence

    A vote for A or B would be very much appreciated. A is certainly the front runner in my mind

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A

  28. Dananz

    Who to captain this week out of Salah, Coutinhho, Mane or Morata?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Mane could be a huge differential. I think I'd take a chance on him

      1. Dananz
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, will consider it.

  30. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Silva or should I switch out for say, Ramsey?

    Would leave me with no attackers from Man City though, but with the amount of rotation bound to happen it might not be the worst thing.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t believe a thing Pep says
