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.

    Thoughts on Adama Traore? He's been great every game he plays, could he get a starting spot?

    1. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He might, but it’s wait and see for now I think. Not worth risking it until he actually gets some starts

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just get nailed players

  2. LloristheHounds
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on WC team?

    A)
    Kepa (Hennessey)
    Alonso, mendy, TAA(holebas, WB)
    Hazard, mane, Dilva, maddison (ward)
    Kun, Mitrovic, wilson

    Could downgrade kepa to 4.5 and get robbo or trippier instead of TAA

    Or

    B)
    Hennessey, (patricio)
    Alonso, mendy, TAA, (holebas, WB)
    Salah, hazard, maddison, Fraser( neves)
    Kun, Mitrovic, wilson

    ???

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B because of Salah

      1. LloristheHounds
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        So the big question would be
        Will:-
        Salah + Fraser
        Outscore
        Mane + Dilva

        ???

        1. Jackie Moon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Mane and DSilva for me. Salah overpriced.

        2. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Captaincy is a factor here, as B looks better but when you set up your team next week, this conundrum will appear. If you´re confident on Mané as captain, then maybe.

          1. gergin
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Mane is better captain than Salah.

            1. Son is Rising
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              😆

          2. LloristheHounds
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I'd probably captain Aguero v Cardiff gameweek 6?

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B

    3. LloristheHounds
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      WC option C maybe???

      Hennessey, (hamer)
      Alonso, mendy, Rico, (holebas, WB)
      Hazard, salah. Dilva, maddison (ward
      Aguero, wilson (Ings)

      Maybe better?

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You mean
      Kepa, mane, Dilva, (ward)
      Or
      B)
      patricio, Salah, Fraser( neves)

      I think I like B

      1. LloristheHounds
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        And also the fact I can upgrade TAA to either robbo or trippier or keep an extra 1m in the bank

  3. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Did Ben Davies ->Mendy

    Defence now
    Alonso Mendy Shaw AWB Tomkins

    Should I take a hit?

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Davies hatty incoming 🙂

    2. ajones1608
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A hit for what? For Mendy then yep!

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You sold Davies and kept an injured Shaw ?

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Correct
        Davies allowed Mendy

        Shaw at 5m would not be enuf

  4. Jackson99
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts on this WC team much appreciated:

    Patricio
    Alonso Mendy TAA AWB
    Salah Hazard Mane Fraser
    Aguero Mitro

    Hamer Bennett Hojberg Kamara

    Cheers!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nice team. Still haven't understood the love Patricio gets on this site.

      1. Son is Rising
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They'll be in the top 8 for clean sheets this year and he is a class keeper. What's not to love!

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That bench will bite you.. otherwise very strong.

    3. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Good team bt I'd lose one of mo or mane as they've got tough fixtures and will be rotated,

    4. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Looks solid, I'd be happy with that as WC team.

  5. fakelund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Quick question for a Monday morning, bench one of:

    AWB (Hud a)
    Pereira (Bou a)
    Robertson (Tot a)

    1. NUFCAndrew
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      WB

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      WB

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      AWB

  6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone fancies Josh King this GW?

    1. child of God
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just go with wilson

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I have King I meant,wanna give him another chance haha

        1. child of God
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          If happy with the rest of your team and have a free transfer I'd go for Wilson, bt if shipping king involves a hit then I'd keep for now as fixtures are favourable to hold on a bit longer

        2. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          If you have him I would definitely give him more time. He has penalties too right? Bournemouth's fixtures are so nice I ideally want two of Brooks/Fraser/Wilson/King...

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I smell goals from my fellow countryman.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Had King since GW1. Will stick with him for now.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        same

  7. Bullhorn_11
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Would you sell Stephens (0,4 itb) for -4 just to avoid price drop?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

    2. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

      1. Bullhorn_11
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. Thanks. I guess IB is so long and I started thinking about stupid moves 😉

    3. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Not a chance

  8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    If Walcott is fine for the Arsenal game and Suppose I keep him bow would you keep for GW6 too or would u do Wally to Rich?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      *now instead of bow

  9. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Have a feeling Hazard will troll again this GW,great game but no fpl points(unless Chelsea get a pen)

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The amount of time Chelsea spend in an opponents box though... Would you not bank on a pen?

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        This, the probability of a pen is quite high for Chelsea.

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think we’ll be alright with him. Certainly passes the eye test and stats are good.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      True that! Yeah the good thing is he does get full BAPS when he scores unlike Salah..

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No reason to think this other than pure superstition

    5. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Troll again? Hasn’t he got returns every week so far?

  10. Fantasyamateur
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    McCarthy
    Mendy - Robertson - Alonso
    Neves - Salah - Mané - B.Silva - Mkhitaryan
    Agüero - Tosun

    Bench: Hamer, Bissaka, Kamara, Peltier.

    0.4M ITB, 1FT.

    Hate hits.. Still have WC intact, but don't want to use it yet. My initial thought by looking at my team is taking a hit now and another one before next GW:
    GW5: B.Silva and Mkhi to Fraser and D.Silva. (Unless there are signs that B.Silva are guaranteed to start)
    GW6: Tosun and Neves to Wilson and Richarlison.

    Thoughts?

    1. Kane5
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Personally I would use WC. Kamara, Peltier, Mkhi, Tosun and B.Silva are all sells for me. Possibly 1 of Salah or Mane as well

      1. Fantasyamateur
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I won't use WC to get rid of Peltier and Kamara, they are bench fodder. Mkhi and B.Silva might go out for a hit, and Tosun gets the game versus West Ham before he gets shipped out. They are leaking goals so I fancy him getting some points in that game.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Your hit this gw looks tempting but not sure about plan for gw6, probably would just do tosun out for Wilson, and then play Bissaka home to Newcastle instead of bringing in Rich for a hit away to Arsenal. Then you could do the Neves-Rich move next week thereafter?

      1. Fantasyamateur
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Ah, good thinking. Thanks!

    3. JC9
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Although it makes sense giving their recent performance but id give them another chance given both Tosun and Bilva playing at home then you can change both of them the coming week to fraser - Mitro/Wilson . As for Mkhi : i might wait as Arsenal will have two home games coming after NEW game and if he doesn't perform well then you can change him to Maddi or Richa .

      hope helps

      1. Fantasyamateur
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thank you! Tosun will be given another chance vs West Ham.

        B.Silva went off with a minor injury precaution with Portugal. Probably not gonna start this game either.

        Mkhi must go for Fraser unless some of the offensive players at Arsenal get injured before the weekend...

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think this looks prime WC territory to be. Sure it COULD be worse but you have three unreliable attacking players you are relying on because of your weak bench. There's about 6 justifiable transfers there and several players now who are in great form and have great fixtures that you don't own. I'm not sure you'll have a chance to better your team more this year unless you actually allow it get worse

      1. Fantasyamateur
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Have to disagree.

        I have the perfect defence, and goalkeeper spot has been decent as well.

        In midfield Mane and Salah will stay, as well as Aguero up front. Neves and Tosun with nice fixtures this weekend and could pick up some points. Bilva and Mkhi the only worries, and probably worth a hit for Dilva and Fraser if signs are that they are benched.

        Saving WC until we might have to go with two heavy hitters up front.

        1. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Also disagree. That's not WC worthy...

        2. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, we disagree. As excellent as Neves is I wouldn't want to be relying on for points, likewise Tosun and not least with Rich and poss Wally absent. Hazard is absolutely prime and Bournemouth are scoring goals right now, have players in form and prime fixtures. My personal choice would not be to hang onto the six or seven players you think might be good for another week and to hold out for when 2 heavy hitters up front MIGHT be the template (which can be achieved easily with 2FT when factored into a WC setup) but to act right now on where the points are coming from.

          1. Pacer.
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Remember there will also be hits absolutely galore in the coming fortnight and player prices will be very active. You could be hit by drops from several angles. Only a minor consideration but one nonetheless

          2. Fantasyamateur
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I like to disagree, interesting discussions 🙂

            I think it boils down to Hazard or no Hazard. I'm not completely sold on him yet. Not only based on his in-game numbers this season, but also earlier years where he goes lots of games without points. for 10.7M I expect more.

    5. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think those transfers for this week are excellent. I was never sold on BSilva and while I personally intend to stick with Mkhi for another week, I believe DSilva is a much better option.

      Not a huge fan of points hits either, but both of those transfers should pay off with those fixtures!

    6. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Those transfers look like a good plan. I like it.

    Patricio (Hennessey)
    Alonso Mendy Shaw (Bennett, AWB)
    Hazard Mane Lucas Maddison (Hojberg)

    Any thoughts much appreciated legends.

    1. Weak Become Heros

    Once you get membership you realise the people who reply to your questions are more clueless than yourself!

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      So many are. But not related to membership so much

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I just randomly pick a letter A, B or C, no one even takes my advice seriously anyway...

    3. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Can happen! I like comments that aren’t just ‘A, B, C’ but rather have some explanation for the reason. That way you can see whether you agree with their reasoning or not.

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      There's also the danger of thinking membership means you have all the answers.

      I'm a eye test guy, over stats

      1. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        So was I, before I started diving into stats and using them better.

        The stats don't lie...

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Lukaku is top on the stats chart for shots on goal/target...yet no one is going for him.
          Possibly because they saw his 'shot on goal' against Spurs 🙂

          1. Zilla
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            True af

    6. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't have thought that poeple look if someone is a member or not, but I can say now, it's no difference in terms of advice 😛

  18. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I have already Wilson and looking 4.midfielder whos playing all weeks.
    Which one would u pick?

    A) Double up with Fraser
    B) Schurrle
    C) Pedro (have Haz and Alonso)
    D) Someone else max 6.8m.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Would be great if you wait for a weak and we will know who is the better pick out of Maddison,Pedro,Schurrle, Pereyra
      I think I like Pereyra

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Oh forgot to say that have already Maddison and Im on WC.

      2. Jackie Moon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I like Pereyra as well. Not so many talking about him though.

          bad stats

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            3 goals in 4 games in a form team is pretty good for me!

            1. samaael
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              bad underlying stats

      Fraser.

      Most secure and great fixtures.

      Shurrle is a wait and see for me at this point, while Pedro is more of a gamle in terms of game time, but looks really good and has great underlying numbers.

    Lingard or fraser?
    Prefer lingard but CL games worries me a little

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser for me

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Any reason?

    2. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser for me. Much cheaper, in form, nailed and great fixtures. Lingard at the same price would be a tough call but not for the extra money. United also not looking great.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. But lingard goes forward beside lukaku and lots of chances
        Think I will get fraser at last

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fraser for the money saved imo. And hopefully less prone to rotation as you say. Although Stanislas is nearing a return apparently....

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        it will take a month for stanislas to train and start games. at least

        1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough, I'd heard he was nearly back but I'm sure you're more in the know than I am.

  20. Sgt Frank Drebin

    Good news, only 5 days left since the first game of GW5! We managed to survive 7 days of the international break already, the end of our misery is close!

    1. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Oh, thank god!

  21. Jontharon

    Still no news on Zaha injury? Keep and hope for the best?

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You won't get news until the press conference.
      There is some 'instagram' news in you want to believe that...Zaha playing a 6-a-side game.

  22. BigAsGiroud_

    On this WC team

    Hennnessy McCarthy
    Mendy Alonso Robbo Bennett AWB
    Hazard D.Silva Mane Mkhi Fraser
    Kun Ings Jimenez

    Should I do Mkhi+Fraser+Ings+Jimenez → Maddison+Billing+Mitro+Wilson???

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'd get rid of Mkhi on a WC

      Mkhi + Jimenez -> Maddison + Wilson?

      1. BigAsGiroud_
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        tempted. but don't wanna double up Bournmouth

        1. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Why not? They're playing great attacking football and have amazing fixtures.

  23. LC1

    Afternoon all,

    Would really appreciate some advice on what to do with this team;

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Shaw Mendy Robertson Wan-Bisakka Boly
    Salah Mane Walcott Mkhi Cairney
    Kun Zaha Ings

    Was going to do Salah & Boly to Alonso & Hazard for a -4 but I think there are more pressing issues (especially with the midfield).

    Any feedback is much appreciated!

    Thanks.

    1. Jontharon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think it looks good!

    2. Gizzachance

    Salah non owners. Who you capping GW6?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      3 options

      1) kun (cardiff away)
      2) hazard (west ham away)
      3) auba (everton home)

      leaning towards auba right now

    2. BigAsGiroud_
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Kun or Hazard

    3. gergin
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mane, of course.

    4. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Tough call who to captain. I expect I’ll get double digit halls from Mane, Hazard and Aguero, but who’s going to get the higher score! Haha. But in all seriousness, I got rid of Salah because I thought Mane could outscore him for cheaper so whenever Salah is the favoured captain I’ll likely have Mané.

  26. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    On WC, is it crazy to go without Pool assets?
    Currently have Mane, but if I downgrade him to DSilva (whom I can see outscore in next 5) I could upgrade 4.5 keeper to Kepa or Shaw to Trippier.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't do that. Mane starts every game while Silva could miss the odd game.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think that the ownership will punish you. Almost everyone owns salah and/or mane so going without both will probably really hurt when they return.

    3. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      got to keep the form player in mane imo

    4. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Mané. Liverpool score goals against everyone so don’t look at their fixtures for attacking players (defenders I expect might struggle over this period). Also his price rises will make it harder to get him back in.

  27. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What are people's thoughts on a Bournemouth attacking double up and Chelsea defensive double up for the next few weeks?

    Would be Fraser and King.
    And Alonso and Luiz.

    Good idea?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fixtures are good but i'd prefer Wilson over King

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Completely agree but I already own King. Not on a wildcard so he's staying for now.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough. Some great fixtures. Atm you're relying on pens from King. Fingers crossed his form improves

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Am contemplating the same but with me it's Kepa and Alonso and Fraser and Wilson.

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yours is much stronger. Should have made it clear I have Luiz and King and would be adding the other 2.

    3. samaael
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      wilson over king

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yep ideally I would be able to make this switch. Praying King gets some pens

    4. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I like the Bou attacking double up, but not sure on the Chelsea defensive double. Alonso is getting the points due to his attacking output...

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Would you just swap Luiz to Alonso then? Other option is to ditch Trent for the Spaniard, only 1 good fixture in the next 4...

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson over King.

  28. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Currently have A.

    A) Robbo + Maddison, bench; Hennessey, Holebas, AWB, Hojbjerg

    B) Pereira + Dilva, bench; 4.0 GK, Bennett, AWB, Billing

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B maybe but close

  29. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What do you guys think about Leicester defensive assets with their favourable fixtures?
    Now Shaw is too uncertain for my WC team, I am eying on Perreira at the same price.
    Is he worth looking at?

  30. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Mendy Wan-B
    Salah Bilva Mane Pedro
    Aguero Zaha

    Hamer King Tomkins Masuaku

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    What to do here please... thinking Zaha to Mitrovic... anything else??

    Wildcard needed???

    Thanks....

    1. gergin
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      WC with 2 FT? Where Did you come from?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        i see a lot of people with similar teams to mine, playing their wildcard

        im with you... but i was worried i was missing something
