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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

      1. Balotellitubbies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        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.

    Any Suggestions for my Team?

    Patrico
    Alonso Robertson Chilwell
    Salah Mane Bsilva Maddison
    Ageuro Zaha Mitrovic

    Foster AWB Billing Peltier

      Zaha to Arnautovic and Chilwell to Doherty/Jonny

      1. LD
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Why get rid of Chilwell?

          Wolves Wingbacks are better

          1. LD
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 14 days 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

        2. JJO

            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
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

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

    £1.5 ITB and 1 free transfer

    Hennessey (Speroni)
    Shaw - Trippier - Wan-Bissaka (Bennett - TAA)
    Fraser - Hazard (VC) - Mané - Richarlison (Hojbjerg)

    Cheers

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Change Wilson to one of Jimenez, Mitro, Arnautovic

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 14 days ago

      save - 2ft over international break

  4. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Aubameyang & Tosun to Kane & Inacheo?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Kane + Jimenez

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days 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
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

          Far better. More nailed on, good involvement.

  5. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART

    Who would you get between Fraser and Richarlison?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Richa all day

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Rich

    3. Holmes
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Fraser

    4. LD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

      1. danishdynamite

        Knockaert or Maddison FTW

  6. Tshelby

    Which move should I do?

    2FT
    0.8 ITB

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


    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?

    1. theodosios

      E

  7. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Moura or Son ?

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Would monitor first

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

        1. Tshelby
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

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

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Kane

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

    3. Sjaugen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Leaning Son even though he lacks the underlying stats

  8. EL_FENOMENO
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Dilva worth keeping ?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I'm keeping the little magician.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 14 days 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

      1. Meinhoff
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        What did he say...??

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

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

        2. Ramboros
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 14 days 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
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 14 days ago

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

      3. Gianfranco Zola
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        0 chance Dilva doesn't start

  13. EDUARDO DA SILVA

    Best GK combo for next 10 gameweeks?

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      ederson + 4

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        or Leno + 4

        1. Urchin
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

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

        2. HamezMace
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 14 days 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
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Patricio and Fabianski/Hart

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Ederson and don't think about rotation any more. We already have a lot in our minds for the midfielders and strikers haha

    4. LD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Fab and Pat/Hart

  14. mikess
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Hart
    Doherty, Robertson, Alonso, Holebas
    Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Richarlison
    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?

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Is this a WC team?

      1. mikess

        Nope. Just worried about my bench

        1. HamezMace
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

          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

            Cheers. I'm not feeling Fraser. I'll check some stats

  15. Champions united

    Mee
    Neves
    TAA
    Fraser

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      No go for me

    4. Peter Ouch

      Risky

    5. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 14 days 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
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Compared to Wenger that is

    6. LD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

  17. Urchin
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    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....

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

      1. Urchin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Massive shock that Bayern game, think Liverpool will score 2 do keep kimmich in

      1. Urchin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

    3. Warby84

    4. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        True

      2. Urchin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

  18. Sjaugen
    • 11 Years

    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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Lucas Moura for me. Hes brzilian...

    3. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

    4. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

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

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years

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

          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.

  19. AnarChYs7

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

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A bit like Salah, lacking end product

    2. Klein
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Getting chances. Could go riot anytime

  20. Miguel Sanchez

    Bench one:

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

    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
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

    2. Ramboros
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Westhams attack should be better than all 3

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

  22. SantiClaus
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Patricio or Fabianski long term?

    Bench Wan-Bissaka or Doherty?

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Patricio, WB

    2. AnarChYs7
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

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

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Fab has hard schedule ahead, maybe after 14th.

      Bench wb

  23. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Play one:

    1. AWB
    2. TAA
    3. Bennett

    ?

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Also i decided to play Ings, so need to bench 2 more 🙂

    2. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      AWB

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      AWB.

  24. FPL Touches

    Benching 50/50. PLAY:

    A) Jonny Cry(A)
    B) Pereira EVE(H)

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      B

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Play Pereira

  25. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    Keep or sale Fraser long term?

    1. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days 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
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 14 days 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
      8 years, 14 days ago

      I'm losing on wc next week, currently benching this week

    3. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Keep. Should provide good value long term

  26. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    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
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Get shot of Tosun

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        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!

      2. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

        Done

        Allison
        Alonso Robertson Walker Bellerin WanB
        Hazard Richarlison
        Kane Aguero Jimenez

        Hamer Fraser Kante McTominay

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      A

  27. Gunner1290
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

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

  28. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    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...?!

    1. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Wait til after CL

      1. FPL Touches
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 14 days ago

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

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 14 days ago

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

  29. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years

    Ederson;
    Alonso, Pereira, WanB
    Salah, Haz, Rich, Fraser
    Kun, Zaha, Mitrovic

    hamer, Robbo, Westwood, Bennett

    Haz cap

    0.0 itb, 1FT

    A) Do nothing
    B) Free hit

  30. Loðbrók
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 14 days ago

    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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 14 days ago

      Not sure about Mendy, reat looks solid

    2. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 14 days 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.
