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.

    United has been dying a slow death since SAF retired and all the life is gone at this point. Need a complete clearout of Fraudinho as well as Mino Raiola's mercenaries, then let someone new and exciting rebuild without the pressure of getting into the CL instantly. Cant stand watching this shite any more.

      What about upstairs?

      Liverpool are doing well, have you thought of switching?

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I reckon City a better shout for the glory hunters out there.

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 15 days ago

          Man Utd have the monopoly on that one

          What glory hunters? Only a plastic would see what's happening to United and mindlessly support it.

          1. Fantastisk
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 15 days ago

            Yeah because the United fan base is renowned for its authentic Manchester based fans.

      You can't be on top forever, in 5 years time the demise of City will be the talk.
      Teams rise and fall, If anything United spent too long on top.

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        20 years too long for my liking

  2. Fantastisk

    Mourinho should consider bringing Sanchez on for the second half.

      He's playing great. He's made a few good tackles in his own box...Maureen will be delighted with him.

  5. Scotty B

    2. Fantasy Gold

      Pogba

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    I’ve had a decent enough start but picking Fraser over Maddison has to be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made.

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Yup.

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      It takes a strong will to go against the template.

  7. Jack Sparrow

    Any Man U fans thinking about jumping ship to support their local team in India, Malaysia and London?

  8. rokonto

    What's the chances Hazard rising tonight?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      87% currently.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years

        What is this witchcraft 😮

    2. jtreble

      8 years, 15 days ago

      Zero.

  9. Dr Dream
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Is this team worse than Moyes's and Van Gaal's version of United?....

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      The scoutcast?

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      No, but they probably still won't finish in the top 4

      1. Dr Dream
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I'm not sure. I think I may be remembering this kak as the worst United team I've ever seen.

    3. child of God
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I think there's a genuine case that it is as the dressing room back then had someone like Rooney who commanded greater respect from the players

      1. Dr Dream
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        I see lots of teams every year from the top of the prem to the bottom who are committed and energetic. Some may lose but still look like they want to win and give everything...even if they get thumped.

        This is rubbish...just painting by numbers rubbish...

    4. Clintymints
      • 17 Years

      I’m just watching for something comical to happen

      Can they go 5 minutes without humiliating themselves

    5. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Worse than Van Gaal, better than Moyes.

  10. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Why's everyone saying Aguero was amazing? He only got one goal. Jesus, keep it in your pants, people.

    1. cjk17
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Neither. Much better options for 4.5 I'd say

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      pickford

  14. cjk17

    Just playing around with some WC drafts. Any thoughts on this?

    Foster
    Robertson, Trippier, Alonso, Bennett, Wan B
    Knockhaert, Hazard, Mane, 4.5, 4.5
    Jiminez, Kane, Aguero

  15. Clintymints

    Isn’t it annoying when the two city players you have both score in the wrong competition

    1. Jolly Good
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      True, don’t think it reduces their odds of scoring in PL though so rather they score than not

  16. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Is Will Hughes worth a punt over Fraser to free up some cash for Kane... upcoming Fixtures are looking decent

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      Could be I brought in pererya to fund Kane Watfords fixtures look good

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 15 days ago

        Bournemouth at hm who got battered by Burnley, Wolves away then a nice looking home tie vs Huddersfield

    Salah Hazard Dilva Richarlison Ward
    Lacazette Mitro Zaha

    What to do with this lot?
    Dilva out for who? Maddison/Özil?
    Other suggestions?
    Feel like saving Salah is a good option now with the good fixture coming up after city...

  19. Jolly Good
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Harry Kane anytime goal odds: 67%
    Tot clean sheet odds: 50%
    Hazard anytime goal odds: 43%

    Clearly Kane is the best captain choice, but would argue Trippier is better than hazard for those that don’t have Kane

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      But would always choose an attacking player over a defender.. Cardiff could nick one

    2. Cok3y5murf

      Cardiff will score.

    Evening all

    What do you think about:

    Mané, PVA > Hazard, Jonny/ Duffy (-4)

    Would give me:

    £0.4itb
    Fab, Foster
    Alonso, Robbo, Doherty, AWB, Jonny/Duffy
    Salah, Hazard, Rich, Fraser, Hughes
    Aguero, Wilson, Mitro

    Not convinced now is the time to jump for Kane as it means dropping Kun. Will play WC in IB

    Alternatives are to do nothing and go without Haz or to do the Kane / Kun switcheroo

    Thoughts?

    1. Maneonthemap
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 15 days ago

      I’m wildcarding ib and am planning to transfer Kane in for Aguero for just this week to captain him, then assess whether I want Aguero back when wildcarding. Obviously budget lost if you do get him back but I think Kane’s worth the risk for this week

  21. Jay_
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Have to play 1 of each (I’m starting AWB, fwiw)

    Hennessey or Patricio

    Bellerin or Jimenez

    Currently on Hennessey and Bellerin and really backing Palace for the cleanie. Right call?

    Thanks ! 🙂

    1. Warby84

    2. Jay_

      Same old Aguero. Played 90. Gundogan injured, hammy I think.

  23. Eytexi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 15 days ago

    Play One:
    A) Leicester's Pereira - potentially wont start, but potentially OOP on the right wing, home to a defensively weakened Everton.

    B) Liverpool's Robertson - always assist potential, but may sit more defensively against an attacking City side. Clean sheet looks unlikely but Liverpool have been strong defensively at home this season so a clean sheet isnt off the cards.

    A or B, and why?

    Was there any particular incident that caused all the players to start talking to each other while covering their mouths with their hands? Some rag hack paying for lip reading? It seems like a thing this season that I don't recall last year.

    1. Epic Fail

      Wannabe gangsters. The moneys gone to their head. Truth is, most pro footballer in the big leagues have to be boring AF. So 99% of them are goody goodies. It’s so cringey to watch. They’re not gangsters, they’re muddy coddled, privileged muppets.

      I may be wrong but I think it was a Barca thing under Pep.

      Really annoying. Like people who say, 'I've got some INCREDIBLE news. But I can't tell you...'

      Yeah not new this season, but a lot more of it the last couple of years.

      Probably advised by their club’s press officers so that they can’t ever get themselves in trouble, but it defo comes across extremely arrogant that they think people would care.

    I really think i need Hazard, of course after midweek games.

    A. Salah to Hazard
    B. Mane and Zaha to Hazard and Jimenez/Wilson (-4)
    C. Mane and Moura to Hazard and Knockaert/Gudmondsson (-4)
    D. Mane and Alonso to Hazard and Laporte (-4)
