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.

    Patricio - Hamer
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - A Smith - AWB
    Salah (C) - Mane - Rich - Fraser - Masuaku
    Aguero - Arnie - Mitro

    1FT & 2.2ITB. Not getting Kane because I dont want him beyond Cardiff. With particularly the next 3 GWs in mind:

    A) Mane -> Haz (C)
    B) Aguero -> 4.5 & Masuaku -> Haz (C) for -4
    C) Save (forget about Haz)

    1. Brian950

      A. Salah and Robbo are excellent Liverpool coverage and Hazard is on fire atm.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Cheers. Leaning against A, but also considering B because I'm not gonna captain Aguero in the next 3. Can consider getting Sterling after that.

      Zaha to Arnautovic and Chilwell to Doherty/Jonny

        Why get rid of Chilwell?

          Wolves Wingbacks are better

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

            Some tough games coming up for Wolves. Yes they’ve done well in hard games this year but they’ve been pretty low scoring. Would think there’s a higher ceiling for Chilwell in his fixtures

              Maybe but Wolves only conceded 1 goal to City and Utd. I like Wolves next 3 for clean sheets while I think Leicester City concede in all of their next 3

            Yeah, i'm talking a load of nonsense bringing in a 4.5 defender who plays as a wingback, gets clean sheets and has 2 assists.

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

        Think about doing Mane>Hazard and Silva>Fraser, what do u think?

          That's not a bad option. The sooner you get Hazard in, the better

      Change Wilson to one of Jimenez, Mitro, Arnautovic

    2. MTPockets

        save - 2ft over international break

    3. Homo Neanderthalensis

      Aubameyang & Tosun to Kane & Inacheo?

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

        Kane + Jimenez

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yea? I don’t know much about Jimenez.. why would you recommend him? Better than inacheo? His games coming up don’t look much better

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

            Far better. More nailed on, good involvement.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years

        Richa all day

      2. Tshelby

        Rich

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years

        Fraser

      4. LD
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fraser short term, rich long term. But prefer to have neither, better options at the same price points

          Knockaert or Maddison FTW

      Which move should I do?

      2FT

      Hennessey, Hamer
      Trippier, Alonso, Monreal, AWB, Bennett
      Hazard, Salah, Rich, Fraser, Billing

      A) Alonso, Rich, Kun -> TAA, Sterling, Vardy (-8)
      B) Alonso, Zaha -> TAA, Vardy
      C) Monreal, Zaha -> Jonny, Vardy
      D) Hamer -> 4.5 goalie
      E) Zaha -> Arnie
      F) Something els?

    6. Jebiga

      Moura or Son ?

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

        Would monitor first

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

          Why ?
          Lucas Moura looks like season keeper. I think hes nailed for Spurs

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

            Oh sorry I thought you asked Moura to Son. If Son gets enough minutes I would pick Son

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

        Kane

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

          It feels unfair to dump salah or aguero for him... :/

      3. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Leaning Son even though he lacks the underlying stats

    7. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Dilva worth keeping ?

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

        Don't think that moving him out is a 'necessary' transfer

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'm keeping the little magician.

      3. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No, player of 8.5 which is rotating doesn't deserve a place in the team

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

      Interesting if Gundogan is out and KDB not back. Means Dilva, Bilva and Fernandinho are likely to be the midfield three against Liverpool.

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Except Dilva won't start as Pep said before...

        1. Meinhoff
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          When did Pep say David Silva won't start vs Liverpool?

        2. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years

          What did he say...??

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

            I'd be very surprised if he didn't start...!!

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

            He said nothing. Reliable media report the reasoning for not starting David Silva against Cardiff was a reluctance to play him 3 times in 7 days.

            I think this is 100% true, but that there are other factors playing in. Factors such as Cardiff being awful, City playing the CL game on a Wednesday, City playing away and possibly the desire to play Foden with the experienced Silva in the league cup.

            1. Eden Wizard
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              100% This, i wasn't scaremongering as it might have been interpreted.

                I am on this currently, WC activated.
                Hope he retains his place, will be golden

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Leno has 3 GWs before Cech is expected to return.
                Yes he could keep his place in the team, but it's not a risk you'd want to take with a non playing back up keeper.

                Ederson also has tough games coming up.

                Fab/Dubravka works okay.

          2. mikess

          Kane(c), Mitrovic

          Patricio, AWB, Fraser, Kamara

          Some controversial benching decisions. Been struggling between Doherty, Holebas and first two on bench. Went with assist potential of D and H in the end

          Appreciate your input?

                It's a tough call.
                Personally I'm playing AWB over TAA this week.

                In your shoes I'd probably go Fraser over Doherty, Holebas, or AWB though.

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

            Better options as I'd class him as a premium. Hazard, Sterling or Salah/Mane are ahead imo

          2. Tshelby
            • 11 Years

            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            The system emery is playing doesn’t fit well for Ozil atm.. he’s not involved as much. They are very static attacking atm as emery is a positional whore.

            1. Homo Neanderthalensis
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Compared to Wenger that is

          6. LD
            • 8 Years

            Decent differential I guess, would still prefer other players for cheaper. Maddison etc.

          In UCL fanatsy, should I bring in Rui (at home VS Pool) in place of 2 point Kimmich. I am worried that if Pool go nuts tonight, Napoli defense night score less than 2 points....

            Rui almost score a goal from free kick (hit the bar) in Belgrade. Good player

              Is he regularly on set pieces? I doubt though that Pool might even concede, even with that Napoli attack.
              Thanks for the feedback!!

              Not as big a Madrid's loss though?
              Thanks for the response.

            Dude it's 2 points ffs Rui can get an attacking return

            1. Warby84
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              True

              When you put it that way...
              Am already disappointed with manzdukic captain yesterday night!!! Not even an assist in 3 goal rout.
              Thanks!

                I have Mbappe tonight over Messi, and need perisic to step up

                  I am also going Mbappe captain tonite.
                  Not sure how Messi is mentally after that alleged fight with his friend Pique

          There's some hints that offensive midfields does will vs Cardiff (compared to pure strikers)
          GW7: Gudmundsson 1G 1A
          GW6: Gundo 1G 1A, B Silva 1G 1A, (Mahrez 2G as a sub)
          GW5: Hazard 3G
          GW 1-4: Weaker "evidence"

          I'm struggling between
          a/ Son (and Jonny)
          b/ Moura (and Doherty)

          Any opinions?

          1. Peter Ouch
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            A

          2. Jebiga
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Lucas Moura for me. Hes brzilian...

          3. mikess
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            A but it's nothing to do with the wolves players

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Can you do Son and Doherty? I'd have Son all day over Moura anyway

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

              But why ? Is son that much fresh or is better player ?

                • 15 Years

                Better player for me

            I'm gonna give the unhelpful opinion that you should either buy Kane or not invest in the Spurs attack. Sorta like the article above says.

        14. AnarChYs7
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Has anyone watched Richarlison since his return? How's he doing?

          1. Peter Ouch
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            A bit like Salah, lacking end product

            Getting chances. Could go riot anytime

          Bench one:

          A) AWB (WOL)
          B) Fraser (wat)
          C) Ings (CHE)

          1. AnarChYs7

          A lot of people are looking at Zaha to Arnie.. is Arnie's fixture really that much better this week?

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

            I wouldn't do it this week if I had Zaha.

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

            I would say no. Brighton are good at home. They have conceded 2 goals per home game, but they've played against United, Fulham and Tottenham.

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

              Westhams attack should be better than all 3

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Palace havent scored at home this season including games against Newcastle and Southampton

        17. SantiClaus
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Patricio or Fabianski long term?

          Bench Wan-Bissaka or Doherty?

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

            Patricio, WB

          2. AnarChYs7
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Well, Palace's fixtures are taking a turn for the worse. And Wolves are getting results. I'd play Doherty.

          3. Peter Ouch
            • 7 Years

            Fab has hard schedule ahead, maybe after 14th.

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

            Keep for 3 more gw's, then he can do one.

            Knockaert is the obvious swap, so you'll wanna weigh up whether you think Konckaert is gonna outscore Fraser over the coming three

            1. Peter Ouch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Knocka is a good one but gudmo looks solid as well, just got Fraser in my wc last week and already regret it

          2. mikess
            • 15 Years

          Need to wiggle Kane in for Aubameyang and am down to 2 options:

          A) Tosun (vs Leicester) to Jimenez
          B) Walker (vs Liverpool) to Doherty

          1. FPL Touches
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Get shot of Tosun

              I'm desperate to get rid of Tosun myself. I don't think he'll start this GW...he played 90-plus minutes last night!

          Ramsey - Knockaert for a hit this week? Don’t think Ramsey will start but may be wrong.

          • 14 Years

          I am quite tempted to do Sané to Son (am 0.1 short of getting rid of Pogba) and sticking the armband on him. Thoughts...?!

              Personally don’t think Son is fully up to speed yet

                • 14 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah, won't be doing it before tonight. Only other armband choice is Hazard.

          I can get this team before gw 10 with 4 changes and -4, will you rate it?

          Patricio (Hamer)
          Alonso Mendy Robertson TAA (AWB)
          Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser (Gunnarsson)
          Aguero Arnautovic (Deeney)

          1. Peter Ouch
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure about Mendy, reat looks solid

          2. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Problem is that we don't know what the deal with Mendy is, and Fraser is about to have an ugly fixture turn...planning 3 GWs ahead never usually goes to plan.
