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.

      Hazard always plays better (as do Chelsea) when playing under a new manager. In mou's first 2 years and Conte's first year hazard was scoring and assisting loads and got over 200 points, it was only in mou's 3rd year and Conte's 2nd year when hazard (and Chelsea) were well under form. Hazard will have a good year.
