Does drop in Kane’s numbers affect FPL credentials for Gameweek 8?

2,276 Comments

Harry Kane (£12.5m) is already the runaway leader of our Gameweek 8 captain poll, but do those currently not in possession of the Spurs forward need to sign him?

That is the big question on the minds of many Fantasy Premier League managers this week, especially with Liverpool and Manchester City options potentially cancelling each other out.

We’ve gone over some of Kane’s numbers from the first seven Gameweeks and compared them with how he was faring 12 months ago, to see if it’s worth selling the likes of Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) or Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) to get him in.

            He's 88.2 on fplstats and rising fast, he'll go up before Chelsea game on Thursday. So I can't risk the rise and being priced out.

              Back in the day this used to be a community where everyone tried to help each other whereas now it's constantly full of people getting in arguments and needling each other.

          Don't they do that every couple of months though? Can be hard to take them seriously if they have a problem ever so often. Besides, given the volume of people on here, it's hard to answer every question, especially when the same question is repeatedly asked multiple times per page. The site format needs to may be change somehow to avoid that since people don't even bother scrolling up to see if a question has been asked before or if a hot topic exists.

            Haven't got such good captaincy options this week. Thinking of going with Shaw. Thought he looked relatively creative tonight and nailed on 5 points surely.

                      Perhaps but not with enough confidence to captain him.

                        Yeah it's a risk but rn seems more likely to happen than any of my attackers scoring. Gotta play the odds.

                    Thanks. I would captain one of my gooners but they're Ramsey and auba. Least I'll know if they'll start by the EL team.

                I'll be so happy when Mourinho gets sacked. I'll have an actual celebration party.
