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.

      I'd drop Mane and try upgrade ings to Mitro or Vardy. Kane isnt the best option medium term, Id hold on him until fixtures change.

      Maybe take out Kane and replace with Vardy. Use the extra cash to upgrade mane to Salah as Liverpools fixtures are sweet after City.

  2. Brian950

    7 years, 6 months ago

    With Aguero having played 95 minutes, do you think it would be better to bench him and start Bennett?

      Totally 😉

    The article is right

      What exactly?

    How much would you pay to have your guttering cleared?

    Being quoted £90 for a 3 bed end of terrace...

    Is it really that difficult a task??

    Thoughts appreciated

    1. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just by a new house.

    2. SackWenger
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Too much - about half that would be ok

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is it just the 2 sides of the house with guttering? I do this sort of job and charge around £40/50 for such a job, £90 is too much if it just front and back terrace house.

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It is front and back and one side so three overall...

        Ok good to know, think I am being taken for a slight ride then...though I am in Zone 4

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I am not sure what zone 4 is, but 3 sides of guttering on a terrace house would not be too much work, £50 should be max. Some people just try to charge what they want and take advantage of people, I have plenty of customers that have been ripped off by their previous window cleaner.

          1. Jack Sparrow
            • 7 Years

            Zone 4 means you stay with your parents.

      Have the neighborhood kids to it for a tenner or two.

        Haha perhaps in the old days...the kids of the modern day are glued to electrical devices rather than wanting to work

    5. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Seems like a lot of cash for an easy job.

    6. Monkey Hanger

      Any roof jobs always worth getting the first quote to take pics on your phone, so you can show them to other tradesmen.

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I put a post on my builder, first one came in at £90!

        Now I know the realistic value is £45, I am going to use that on the other quoters

        Will revert back on the end result.

        Thank you all.

      Gutters up coming fixtures don't look good - I would take a hit to move them out before GW9.

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Lol Xmas is expensive enough already! Bad timing for these kind of jobs.

        Worst thing is regroutin the bathroom every 6 months!

    Tripp enough Spurs coverage for me, Kane has to score firstly just to match the expected clean sheet.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I skim read that as triple Spurs coverage at first.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years

        Cuz you know what should be done

    Anyone notice Everton are playing Southampton tonight in the Carabao Cup? That was kept under the radar!

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes - noticed it when they did the draw and the BBC had Everton or Southampton in one of the ties.

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        And Ings has scored

  8. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Can u believe my luck? I had Kolarov all day on limitless WC but switched to manolas due to injury doubt to Kolarov. Turns out Kolarov starts , gets an assist in 3 mins, most likely a cs and manolas mpicks up a late injury!!!

  9. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Kane has bad long term fixtures? Did you even look past the next 5?

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      **When** he's playing well, it matters very little. Not exactly known for being a flat track bully.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He has though, compared to Salah in the immediate future.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not looking past the next one. Out for Salah with 2 FTs for GW9.

      West Ham enjoy the big games at home, that wont be easy. Then the fixtures start to turn, even the two 'easier' fixtures in the next five are away to two solid units. Wouldn't be captaining then either.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      People don't care, blind panic

  10. AnfieldLad

    Shaw likely to be rested at the weekend?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hopefully.

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Meh

    3. Emp
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No

  11. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A week too late for Kane. Last week enables a move back for Salah without a hit for Huddersfield/Cardiff (assuming that was the switch). Kun / Hazard more important to own than both right now.

    1. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed, and that's the plan I kicked off last week.

  12. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Just read the previous article.
    Honestly how can you take the advice of an 'expert' who refuses to put Pool players in his team, because he is an Everton fan?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Because he won the whole thing two seasons ago

    Scoutcast tonight?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9:00 apparently.

  14. Zebrahimović
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do Wilson —> Arnie tonight or just roll the transfer and bring TAA+Robbo for free next week

    1. PattBrofield
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Roll

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you do it tonight?

      1. Zebrahimović
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Oops meant Thursday

    3. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I will do that move after 2 weeks

  15. PattBrofield
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mane and Bilva -> Hazard and Maddison for a -4?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mmh pool fixtures are turning after that..

      1. PattBrofield
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It’s true. I should say I also have Salah and Robinson

  16. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Does a Salah -> Hazard(c) -> Salah next week hokey cokey make sense here?

    Fab Fos
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Awb Bennett
    Salah Mane Bilva Richarlison Fraser
    Kun Mitro Kamara

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not really as you may need both after the break. Maybe look at removing Mane for Haz by some means?

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Netley - trouble is now Haz has risen Mane -> Haz isn't east to do. Would have to do Bilva-> Knockaert rather than Maddison to afford it I think.

  17. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A mane to Maddison
    B Kun to Kane
    C save transfer

    1. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      C

  18. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Keeping De Gea for one more week,
    does it make sense to have a punt on Leno or is there any other GK you'd look to bring in next week? (excluding Ederson & Alisson)

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Plenty of value picks at 4.5/6m.

      See which one works for you. Ryan is a sea of blue from now. Premium keepers looking less and less worth it every week.

      1. Bob B
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Brighton are a standout for fixtures but they haven't kept a CS yet and have conceded 2 goals in 6 out of 7 gameweeks.

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero in danger to be benched after making 90mins today?

    Aguero ➡ Kane - yay or nay?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hes never been more nailed on for a game.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He’s in no danger of being benched at all. He’s the number one striker that will need to play against Man City’s biggest rivals in the league.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If you think he gets benched, absolutely do it.

    4. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      5 days between matches

    5. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pep isn't going to play Jesus alone vs their title rival.

      1. Ramboros
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He played Jesus away to United last season. Jesus wasn't playing well at the time.

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No but go ahead, looks like you want to do it anyway

    7. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Good move imo. There wont be as many goals in this fixture as last season.

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, city look watertight vs hoffenheim....

    8. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting one. Does Pep not trust Jesus or is Kun getting rested

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Away to their title rivals - Pep has to play his strongest team.

    9. child of God
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Plenty of recovery time

    10. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wrong assumption, right conclusion

    11. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I don't believe there is any chance of an aguero benching this weekend. But Kane could well outscore aguero by some margin in this specific gameweek!

      1. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe but most of Kane’s supporting cast is injured at the moment. Not good.

        1. Subzero (-4)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Fair point, I definitely prefer aguero for the next 5-8 games over Kane except this one nagging fixture. Surely Cardiff will continue to try and attack the big teams the same way they have all season? I mean if Burnley got a couple then surely spurs will stuff them

          1. jtreble
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I’m on Kane (C): in spite of the score line TOT really struggled against HUD. Now the injuries. I’m not confident at all.

  20. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fabianski (Foster)
    Alonso Robertson Trippier (PvA Wan-Bissaka)
    Salah Mane Fraser Richarlison (Gunnarsson)
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    1FT. Have the exact cash for PvA and Mane to Bennett and Hazard for -4. Should I do it tonight given Bennett may rise?

  21. Forza Papac

      Where have I heard that before?

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kun has got to go then after tonight? 90mins when he has a niggle and Jesus fukly rested. Cant see him playing

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sell him then

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It's a tough call. Just very surprised he didn't get the usual 60mins with Jesus raring to go.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Against probably their biggest title rivals?! Behave.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He's done stranger things. Maybe y'all are right.

    3. Sif
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If they were playing Hudds I'd agree but against potentially their biggest title rival?

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pep was asked in pre match interview if Kun was 100% fit to which he replied "yes"

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He was talking about surgery a few days ago. No way is he 100% fit.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Well, he wasnt playing like he was suffering from injury. Ran at defenders, pressed constantly and went on runs all the way up to the 90th minute. I was positively surprised.

          1. Lord.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            This. No doubt Pep would have hooked him early if the game was won, but he could have hauled on a night when City did not have that many chances. Five days rest should be enough; then a nice break before feasting on Burnley.

    5. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'll be honest. I've just came in from a long day at work and may have jumped to a conclusion. Still seems strange Jesus didn't come on for him at some point

      1. Sif
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        At around the 75min mark I decided to ignore the action and watch Aguero for 5 or so minutes and with the ball being played in the midfield all he did was walk or at most jog a little on the edge of the area, flick on a ball to someone, walk around looking for midfield to create something etc. Did not look taxing.

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He also got a rollicking from Pep for it.
