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

1,655 Comments
Share

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.

    Now Shaw is crocked, had to re-jig my WC team a bit. Thoughts on this please all? Any major concerns??

    Patricio - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Rico - WB - Bennett
    Salah - Hazard - Pedro/Rich - Fraser - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Vardy - Mitro

    Cheers all!

        Cheers Fox. If I’m honest, that’s the only real dilemma I’ve been having in finalising this. I think Milner will def return and if I don’t have Mane he’s a good alternative in to Liverpool points alongside Salah.

        Think I’m going to give Fraser a chance given his great fixtures and given the risk of CL rotation and fixture difficulty for Milner but he’s totally still on my radar!! Cheers.

                It is a risk, but only Fernandinho & KDB Played more mins than Sterling last season. Pretty sure he’s fit for Fulham and if he is, I think he will start and is a great differential as only 2.6% owned.

      He got 2 bonus points though.

    The Pedro Plan. Think he will start the next one verses Cardiff with William doing international duties. Their next game is the Europa league in Greece were i will see who starts between William and Pedro. If it's William keep for West Ham ..if not ship out

        No, He is only going to be short term. Pedro will be gone before the Liverpool game.

          I know. If it were me I'd skip the "ship out" part. Hold Pedro. He's a great player who will rack up the points playing in Sarri's system.

      If your gonna go without Salah then a think Mendy should be in your team too. Too much on bench. But it's a nice team without Salah.
