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.

        Why? what makes you think you deserve any intel from guys who pay 15 quid a season? Santa comes in december, ask him.

      Another great article. So it turns out that Joe got it completely wrong about Kante on the scoutcast. Will he admit he was wrong?

      Although fair play to him for offering a different point of view. He did the same thing with Walcott. And yet people aren't noticing and are still accusing the scoutcasters as being "all the same".

    3. Jaws

      they really should find a way to present their members only articles just to us, members.

      Means nothing, I've kept him but he's just so pivotal to Denmark and not to Spurs- hope his FPL points improve but may have to move him on soon

    I feel Kante didn't play much advanced in the GW4.

    For Chelsea, I'm wondering if Pedro could be a good alternative to Hazard.

      He looks frightened when anywhere near the pen box. I need to shift him asap.

              It's a big decision for me. Still chewing it over.

    Yeah I agree with the article. Having watched Kante in each of his games so far, he is definitely involved more higher up the pitch, but his skills are still clearly winning the ball and tracking runners. I wouldn't expect many killer passes, let alone shots on target (can't hit a barn door).

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Why aren't you supporting the site with a membership, W.R.? Servers and hosting all cost £££

      1. Syd.

        Site makes £100,000's with advertising

          They really don't. The cut you get from clicks on ads on the Google Display Network is a pittance.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        First time not a member. The fact that the site is worth well over .5m in real money should cover it

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          How do you know it is worth that? Are the accounts made public?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years

              If you click on the ads at the top every now and then, FFS get a little cut. It's a good way of giving back without a membership 🙂

              To be more precise, Marks grav is the FFS Logo. You arent the only one to have similar. Dont bother changing it, they're just bored cause its an international break.

    Is Kante a worthwhile and realistic option?

    Asking for a friend who is a non-member.

      The article basically slams Jonty's endorsement of Kante on the scoutcast a few weeks ago.

        And things never change in FPL?

    2. Jafooli

      The final para reads:

      ‘Kante might be a good option if you’re looking for points, but there might be better options if you’re looking for more points’

        So like every conclusion.....just insert different player name

    Thoughts on David's DVD collection in the background of the scoutcast?

    I gave up on lost after the second season when I found out what was down the hatch.

      Glad am I not on the scoutcast

    Wow, that touches in the box # for Neves is truley surprising.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not really. They were saying exactly this in preseason.

        7 years, 8 months ago

        Tbh i havent followed Wolves much in pre-season and regular season so far. Started with Jota but shipped him in GW3

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I don't follow Wolves either, I just read the articles on here.

    2. The Bandit

      Not a member but I bet you can count th3m on one had

      1. Syd.

        7 years, 8 months ago

        Is this some kind of secret code that you type?

    3 pts is better than two and he may often get that. Not terrible bench fodder but not for me.

  25. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Tough one. Palace supporter so want Hennessey to do well, but live in Denmark now so want the national team to win. Christian Eriksen is class.

  26. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I don't care what the article says, I think Kante is a great pick and I'm keeping him.

    What does the article say?

    1. coriswrasse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Don't stop believing. Hold on to that feeling.

    2. FPL Virgin

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years

        7 years, 8 months ago

    France: Kante, Pogba, Giroud starts
    vs

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep. He starts pretty much every home game.
