Son on FPL radar as Kane underwhelms in Spurs win

Tottenham Hotspur’s premium Fantasy assets caught our attention for different reasons on Saturday.

We assess Spurs’ four-goal demolition of Crystal Palace in our latest Scout Notes article.

Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Crystal Palace

  • Goals: Son Heung-min (£9.5m) x2 Erik Lamela (£6.1m) Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m) own goal
  • Assists: Serge Aurier (£4.9m) x2 Toby Alderweireld (£5.5m) Harry Kane (£11.0m)
  • Bonus Points: Son x3, Aurier x2, Alderweireld x1

A brace from Son Heung-min (£9.5m) helped Spurs to a surprisingly easy home win over Crystal Palace.

While the performance ensured the South Korean’s Fantasy Premier League star is on the rise – he is currently one of the top five transfers-in ahead of Gameweek 6 – just the one assist for Harry Kane (£11.0m) has already prompted plenty to sell the striker on.

That could prove premature as Spurs have a decent schedule all the way through to early December, a Merseyside double-header in Gameweeks 10 and 11 aside.

But even a cursory glance at the statistics from the Palace match make for uneasy reading for the 22.3% of Fantasy managers still heavily invested in Kane.

The striker had only one attempt and two penalty area touches at the weekend, whereas the 4.7%-owned Son had five and eight respectively.

Throw in Champions League duties, and fatigue and form might well trump fixtures for Kane, with his premium price the final deal-breaker.

Son opened the scoring, finishing sweetly when the returning Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) made a mess of a long, cross-field ball from Toby Alderweireld (£5.5m).

Sakho’s error was a team-wide theme of the afternoon, with mishaps aplenty in a Palace rearguard that had previously made a virtue of frustrating ‘big six’ sides.

Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m) was unlucky to deflect Serge Aurier‘s (£4.9m) cross into his own net and the Eagles emphatically failed to learn from their mistake when Son volleyed home his second from another Aurier delivery.

The Ivory Coast international was making his first start since February as Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.9m) remained sidelined with a hamstring issue.

Two assists, a clean sheet and two bonus points later, Aurier had racked up a 14-point haul and at his price point could be a great value way into Tottenham’s defence – if coach Mauricio Pochettino can ever bring himself to handing the defender consistent minutes.

Erik Lamela (£6.1m) rounded off the scoring when he converted a Kane cross just before half-time.

The Argentinian has been quietly going about his business this season, with two goals and as many assists – he managed four of each last term – in just five appearances for his modest 3.8% ownership.

It’s easy to forget that he is now something of a Premier League veteran, with six seasons under his belt. If he can stay free of injury, he could be on for a repeat (or better) of his 2015/16 personal best of five goals and nine assists.

After the major low of their Gameweek 3 home defeat by Newcastle United, Spurs got things emphatically back on track against Palace.

Pochettino held a meeting to ‘refocus’ his players after previously complaining that his squad was the most unsettled it had been since he joined the club.

That comment was, in part at least, a dig at wantaway midfielder Christian Eriksen (£8.8m), although the coach was rather more loved-up by the end of Saturday’s win:

The attitude was amazing, and the performance. We were very concentrated and had tremendous quality. I’m so happy for the team. I think it’s important for their confidence. The plan was to be aggressive, to show intensity from the beginning and all the credit to the players, they made an unbelievable start to the game.

Palace made an equally unbelievable start, entirely in a bad way, as they shipped more goals in the first half than they’d conceded across the first four matches of what had been a steady start to the campaign.

Sakho, so often the side’s defensive anchor, clearly upset the backline’s balance on his return from injury, but he will surely bed back in sooner rather than later.

Roy Hodsgon said as much in his post-match analysis:

The only real positive I can take from the game is that Mamadou Sakho, after such a long lay-off, such a long time out through injury, got through 90 minutes in a very, very tough game. So if you are looking for me to give some positives from a Crystal Palace point of view, I can’t come up with anything other than that.

Palace had more attempts on target – six to five – than their hosts and Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) collected a season’s-best eight points as a result. His Palace counterpart, Vicente Guaita (£5.0m), was forced into action just twice, unless you also count the four times he had to pick the ball out of his net.

Back on the downside, Wilfried Zaha (£6.8m) had just two shots and has now blanked for five straight Gameweeks.

That’s a worrying state of affairs for his 10.6% ownership as the Eagles edge ever closer to a brutal five-match run, starting in Gameweek 9, that involves home games with Manchester City, Leicester City and Liverpool and trips to Arsenal and Chelsea.

Their reputation as big-game spoilers will be severely tested by that schedule and they’ll certainly need to be infinitely better than they were at Tottenham.

As for Spurs, it could be a matter of a rising Son, a falling Kane and a sprightly Lamela emerging as a viable differential option.

    If you could only have one, would you rather have Mount or Abraham for Chelsea's good fixtures?

      Abraham.

    2. Schliegs
      • 7 Years

      I do think Tammy will score more, but when it comes to value I’d say they’re pretty on par.

        True, decent price difference.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Would've been out if I had benched Pukki, which I had done for a few hours.

  3. JBG
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Need help picking a WC team:

    WC team 1:
    Pope
    Digne-Robbo-Zinch
    Salah-Sterling-Martial-Mount
    Abraham-Pukki-Haller

    Bench: Button-Rico-Dendoncker-Lundstram

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Damn pressed post by mistake :/.

      Or WC team 2:
      Pope
      Digne-Aurier-Zinch
      Salah-Sterling-Son-James
      Pukki-Abraham-Haller

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe B due to Son and poor pool fixtures.
        Same. Each for B as A?

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Bench not each

          1. JBG
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Same bench yeah.

      2. Majestic Chanka
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        So Robbo, Martial & Mount or Aurier, James & Son?

        I’d go team one

  4. Rowsdower
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope button
    TAA Digne Lund Soy Rico
    Sterling Salah KDB Mount Cantwell
    Haller puuki Barnes

    2 FT

    Generally happy with the team, but kinda want son. Not interested in selling Salah, Sterling, or KDB.

    Currently thinking:
    Haller > 4.4 forward
    Mount > So

    I really love Mount for the price but I just think Son is gonna be huge with those fixtures. Is this move crazy? Any other suggestions?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son is great but is it really worth giving up 2 more than decent players for 1 great one. I don't know.

  5. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play Rico or Lundstram next week?

    (Bottomed)

    1. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would play rico and let lund come in if he gets sent back to the bench. Remembering someone said howe was more likely to play boruc at left back than rico

  6. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is this too punty for a WC? No Salah/Mane or City def.

    Pope
    Digne TAA Aurier
    Son Sterling KDB Mount
    Pukki Cilson Abraham

    4.0 Cantwell Soyuncu Lundstram

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lund

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling auto captain?

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling/Son rotation maybe for the next few: WAT, SOU, WOL, WAT, AVL, SOU & SHU.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Looks good. Keep an eye on Sterling’s role with Aguero in the team. Blanks against Brighton and Norwich aren’t ideal for a captaincy option.

          Aguero is a riskier pick, but a better captain.

          1. ryacoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, I'm trying not to worry too much about Sterling based on the fact he's outscored Kun for the last two seasons now but could really do with him coming good vs WAT!

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              You have plenty of depth elsewhere to cover, I reckon. Very nice team.

          2. Alan Watts
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Funny that if it was suggested that Sterling not an obvious Captain / or not essential 2 weeks ago, you would have been laughed at...

            How quickly things can change in a couple of weeks..

            Agree on Aguero

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I probably was laughed at. I sold Sterling before Norwich.

              1. Alan Watts
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Well that was an unorthodox move...

                I remember the usual who is essential / season keeper questions, and I suggested none, and Sterling was the obvious example put forward..

                That said he was unlucky not to return vs Nor and could do well home to WAT

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  The members’ area has a great stats database and since Aguero started games in GW2, I noticed Sterling’s touches and shot positions had been less central than in GW1 when he played with Jesus.

                  That’s not to say he’ll never haul with Aguero, just that his xG is lower when he does. Very small sample size but enough for me to want Aguero as the better captain option.

                  The Salah part of the move was a no brainer. Annoyed for having sold on my WC.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No, that's a nice one, but you might find yourself getting back one of Mane Salah soon.

      You need to ditch Son or kdb plus downgrade one more player.
      Or just simply get rid of raz.

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, think it would have to be Cilson/Tammy to Greenwood (Cantwell promoted into the XI) to fund Son back to Salah down the line.

    4. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice. TV? I thought about using my WC but was gonna go Firminho or Mane and drop Sterling. But probs won't tbf

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty low TV I think, will be around 101.3 maybe after locking in that team.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mines 100.2 TV. Would just have to go Sterling to Mane or Digne downgrade. Could be worse 🙂

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It's very nice Aurier comes with risk as you know.
      You are gambling Pool attackers don't go crazy, the points will tick over for them despite fixtures.
      The team looks so good I would nearly so go for it and risk it.

  7. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    I'm looking forward to Essential Abraham getting sold en mass after Liverpool give Chelsea a spanking GW6 -.-

    1. Peter Ouch

    With Everton fixtures coming up can’t afford Richarlison or siggs but considering attacking asset.

    A) Iwobi
    B) DCL
    C) Kean

    1. Pep's Money Laundry

      D. Avoid

    2. Sloths
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Everton were awful!

  11. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

      Which move are you considering?

  13. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I have exact money for Robbo and Dendo to VVD and Cantwell. Good idea or wait for mid week games?

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn’t switch Robbo to VVD.

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        i would

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      do it if you'll be priced out

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Are you gonna play cantwell often? If not it seems like a waste of transfers (hit?) and a downgrade

  14. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Given there is no community article on the UCL Fantasy, could we get a HT RMT going?

    If not, here is mine. Thoughts appreciated:

    Håland (c1) Lewandowski (c2) Martinez
    Mane Sensi Ziyech
    TAA Kimmich Süle Tagliafico
    Vlachodimos

    Lloris Lodi Mahrez KDB

    1. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Those names look like somoene got angry with a scrabble board

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It wasn’t easy spelling them! Had to switch tabs back to the teamsheet to check the names again every 3 letters.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Does C1 mean that Håland is gonna be your captain?

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. I am very confident in Lewandowski on Wednesday that I’m happy to take a gamble on Håland tomorrow night.

        (If you didn’t know, you can change your captain to a player that hasn’t played yet on the second day of fixtures.)

        1. mrodgers91
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Not if they get sent off though

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah true. This happened to me with Pogba last season. Thankfully Messi did not haul the next night.

  15. Zladan

    I somehow managed to beat second in the league in the FFS Head-2-Head leagues... with just 48 points this GW.

    Asserting dominance by retaining my place at top of League 6 Division 2.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Where can you see where you are in the FFS H2H leagues? All I still see is an overall place in the “FFS H2H league - entry”

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers!

          Had no idea

          Can’t believe how low I am!? League 7 Division 30?!

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I never figured out how it was calculated, but I guess that means there are years upon years to get to the top league.

  16. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who to get in for lanzini?
    Cantwell
    James
    Mount

    Will wildcard gw 7

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      So its for one week only? Then prolly James or Cantwell

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If wildcarding in gameweek 7 punt on Iwobi!?? Home to Sheffield United

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This actually

      2. Toby Lerone
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Everton bobbins tho? Was leaning towards James his stats are good. Think Chelsea Liv will be tight game

  17. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes or Haller to Abraham?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on what you do with the extra funds

    2. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Well haller to Tammy would save 0.1

      Barnes would cost 0.7 more currently.

      Imo Chelsea will be better off than either West Ham or Burnley this year which imo would mean tammy would do better than either of these.

      But I would expect haller to then be better than Barnes points wise at end of season. So Barnes for me.

    Things as they stand, good to go?

    Heaton
    TAA, VVD, Coleman
    Salah, Sterling (c), Mount, Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Pukki

    Maguire, Dendoncker, Lundstram

  19. KDB4PREZ

    A) Salah/Auba
    B) Mane/kun

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      I prefer Salah & Kun but of those options, B.

    Any thoughts on what to do here?

    Pope
    TAA Montoya Lundstrum
    Sterling Mane KDB Mount Cantwell
    Aguero Pukki

    Button Pieters Soyuncu Wickham (1FT 0m itb)

    Save? Can’t see a way of jumping on the Auba/Son/Abraham bandwagon just yet

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Definetely play Pieters over lundstram

    All of my league (15 players) have sterling and none have aguero. I think I’m going to need to go for aguero instead of sterling and hope to have that something different to gain some extra points that they might miss out on.

    Not sure what to do

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for midweek games to be over

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Just a little cautious over the aguero price rise to 12.2 and sterling dropping from 12.3 to 12.2 and meaning my cost to sell would go to 12.1

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Same for me... I'm keeping none the less

  22. FC Hakkebøf

    When is autosubs due?

      Same question

    What to do here my friends?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Save or do something about your bench

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Monitor midweek games

  25. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    On face value which is better:
    A). Sterling - Salah - Lanzini - Auba
    B). KDB - Mane - Son - Auba

    Made a total balls of last post.

    A)Rico/Sterling/King

    B)Mings/Kdb/Wilson

    On a WC

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would B, don't like Mings tho'

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B by a very small margin

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B. But get Rico anyway and use the money elsewhere.

    Hi mates!

    1 FT 0.5 itb.

    Current plan is to save FT this GW and do AWB Barnes to Aurier Abraham GW7 for free.

    Ryan
    Robertson, Digne, Chenko, AWB
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Barnes, Pukki

    Button, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    Any suggestions or feedback, please?

    Cheers all!

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Reasonable.. w
      Then you also got time to see wether or not aurier will play in gw6

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agree!

        I think he’ll be able to nail his spot tbh, but GW6 will help us better evaluate it.

        Cheers matw

    2. stuarto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If Aurier earns the spot next week then agree it’s good to go for gw7. Or you could go hog wild and go Tomori instead

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Can be a nice shout too!

        Thanks mate.

        You think the team is G2G for GW6?

        1. stuarto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          If CL games don’t mess with you then I’d stick to your plan

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Nice.

            Thanks for the feedback.

            Cheers mate!

    Naturally, Haller blanks and King has his best haul of the season when i make the switch

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That’s harsh. I’m trying to time my transfers so that the player I’m selling has an away game and the one I’m bringing in, is at home, in order to avoid this.

      Also, note to self, don’t bench a striker playing at home (Pukki)!

  29. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather have:
    A. Salah + KDB
    B. Mane + Sterling?

    It's tough I know

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

  30. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    32 all out 🙁

    WC looking imminent.

    Taken a hit this GW: Kane + Wesley -> Abraham + Pukki (-4)

    GW6 Team:

    Ryan
    Coleman Otamendi VanDijk
    Salah McGinn KDB Sterling Cantwell
    Abraham Pukki

    Button Lundstram Greenwood Kelly

    - Defence needs a bit off work

    Any siggestions looking forward

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think WC might be worth. Allows you to ditch McGinn for someone better by downgrading defense.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Have 3m itb

    2. stuarto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t panic, Sterling and KDB will not net 3 points 2 weeks in a row. Wait for the CL games to see what happens but barring injury you could downgrade VVD to Matip/Aurier and upgrade McGinn with Lamela/Tielemans/Mount lots of choices there
