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

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.

    Those WH fixtures are amazing...Beside Arnie, would you rather choose Anderson or Yarmolenko?

        Just tinkering, I guess Mendy is back for GW10.
        My plan was to get Kane in now and WC in int.break but now Im settled on saveing my transfer and keep WC.

        My plan is:
        GW8: Save
        GW9: Trippier->Mendy (Or TAA if Mendy still out)
        GW10: Aubameyang+Mane -> Salah+Arnoutovic

        + get TAA/Mendy in aswell for -4 for Holebas.

    For the Liverpool Swing most on here are saying they are going for TAA and Roberston at the back with Salah up-front.

    Why the double defence?

    Surely another attacker like Mane or Firminho would be better? Is it the cheapness of TAA? or wanting attackers from other teams?

    or Is this a classic example of herd mentality?

      Controversial probably, but I don't think they're awful.
      Last night they pressed well, won the ball back when it came into their defensive third, worked hard, seemed to be playing for the manager.
      Just Sanchez, and Lukaku both in poor form.
      I wouldn't play a Newcastle defender against them personally.

    I have to think Kevin Long is a potential 'differential' (to use the parlance of the fantasy gaming universe) - towards the end of last season he was Burnley's best defender, having taking his chance following injury to Mee and others - he kept that slot... He should keep a starting berth for this weekend if there's any justice in the world, and from there you'll see him stake a claim once again.
