Harry Kane (£12.5m) has swooped into the Fantasy Premier League captain conversation in a big way after his brace at Huddersfield in Gameweek 7.

You can now vote in our latest Captain Poll below or in the sidebar.

With Cardiff coming up next for Tottenham’s star man, interest in handing him the armband is expected to be very high.

Crucially, it’s another Gameweek where some of the usual suspects cancel each other out with Liverpool hosting Manchester City.

That means options such as Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) will be much harder for Fantasy managers to consider.

Even Raheem Sterling (£11.0m), who many have considered signing after consistent and reliable form, is unlikely to be popular this week considering the nature of his Gameweek 8 fixture.

Eden Hazard (£11.1m) is expected to be the biggest challenger for Kane as he faces a trip to Southampton. The Belgian scored his sixth goal of the season against Liverpool but has only found the net once away from home in 2018/19.

Differential options this week could be Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m), who will be playing against Newcastle, while some might even consider putting the armband on Kieran Trippier (£6.2m).

    Is it mad to take a hit in GW8 to get rid of salah and get Kane (he would be my captain)
