Has Kanté’s new Chelsea role improved his Fantasy potential?

Some Fantasy Premier League managers may have been too quick to jump on the N’Golo Kanté (£5.0m) bandwagon this season.

The Chelsea midfielder is now in 22.1% of squads after netting a rare goal against Huddersfield Town in Gameweek 1.

However, it seems there is little to suggest Kanté will provide much value this season in spite of his new role at Stamford Bridge.

While this is a debate that raged on the Scoutcast a few weeks ago, we thought we’d take the opportunity of the international break to give it a bit more of a look.

After all, we now have more data to rely on when assessing the changes surrounding Kanté this season.

      I currently have Auba but may swap for Lacazette to free up funds to get Pedro. What does your team look like?

      Asked my wife she reckoned Zaha for free, or Vardy for 0.1 million.

      But since she doesn't really watch football I'm not sure she was talking fpl.

    Hi guys.

    Do you consider Ramsey a good option?

    Would it be worh to bring him in to replace Moura or Pedro?

        I currently am on WC. My team is for now:

        Patricio
        Alonso, Robertson, Mendy
        Mane, Hazard, Pedro, Moura, D. Silva
        Kun, Wilson

        Hamer, Holebas, Bissaka, Kamara

          Oh sorry. I don't know really, don't want to give you bad advice. From what I've seen though Ramsey wasn't playing that well so far. He wasn't that bad either though.

    I didn't see the game, but reading the reports it looks like Shaw got a pretty serious knock.

      Usually expect someone to miss at least a week after a bad concussion. So yeh I’d say he should be out.

    Thought I was mostly settled on my WC team, but more tinkering has got me thinking of something different!

    Currently on A.
    A) Robbo/Trippier, Pereyra, Fraser, Vardy
    Or
    B) SCook, Eriksen, Maddison, Wilson

    Not quite sure whether Eriksen is worth it. Thoughts?
