Scout Notes

Kane asking tough questions of non-owners as effective ownership increases

Spurs 3-3 West Ham

  • Goals: Son Heung-min (£9.3m), Harry Kane x2 (£10.7m) | Fabian Balbuena (£4.4m), Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m)
  • Own goals: Davinson Sánchez (£5.4m)
  • Assists: Kane, Son, Sergio Reguilón (£5.5m) | Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m), Vladimir Coufal (£4.5m)
  • Bonus points: Kane x3, Son x2, Cresswell x1

The New Kane

Harry Kane (£10.7m) is back… just not as we know it. Fantasy Premier League managers have been waiting for this day for some time and many of them have finally got what they wanted: a Kane capable of exploding nearly every week.

Against West Ham, the Spurs forward delivered once more, registering another three attacking returns, posting a third double-figure haul in five matches and now heads into Gameweek 6 as the top-scoring Fantasy asset with 60 points.

That huge haul is made up of five goals and seven assists, which means Kane has already matched his personal-best total for assists in Premier League campaign, putting up seven in the 2016/17 and 2014/15 campaigns respectively.

A big reason for the player’s resurgence this season is that Jose Mourinho has finally found a way of building the Spurs team around Kane’s altered role in recent years.

Rather than trying to force him back into the more traditional number nine we once knew, Mourinho is making the most of Kane dropping into midfield. However, the premium forward is not just sitting deep, as we often saw over the last few years. In 2020/21, his success has come from balancing both areas of his game, knowing the right moments to drop and when to press forward to attack space.

Kane now knows the best time to drop into midfield is when space is opened up by the opposition and, as we saw for Spurs’ opening goal on Sunday, this is often combined with well-timed runs by Son Heung-min (£9.3m) on the left and whoever is occupying the right-hand flank. 

Spurs’ third goal against West Ham was a classic example of Kane knowing when to terrorise defences, peeling off the back of an exposed Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m) to head beyond Lukasz Fabiański (£5.0m) from Sergio Reguilón‘s (£5.5m) cross.

MOVE WITH THE CROWD

It would appear that the more seasoned managers are starting to cotton onto Kane’s Fantasy credentials a lot sooner than the rest of the world – worth knowing for anyone trying to scythe their way up the overall rankings, or avoiding the red-arrowed swing of an effective ownership axe.

While Son sits in 46.8% of teams, second only to Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m), only 32% own Kane at this point in time. That’s despite the Spurs man registering 17 more points than Everton’s leading forward.

Meanwhile, as you can see from LiveFPL.net’s captaincy analysis for Gameweek 5, Son was the most popular skipper with a 17.9% share, while Kane had to make do with the second-highest backing (16.9%).

However, when we consider the managers who came into Gameweek 5 as the top 10,000, Kane’s command of the armband was much more significant.

47.6% of these bosses captained the premium forward, compared to just 20.8% backing for Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) and 16.4% for Son. Such figures ensued Kane had the highest effective ownership among the top 10k for Gameweek 5 (118.4%), a mantle he may well hold onto for Gameweek 6 as the game’s top-scoring player and a trip to Burnley.

West Ham defence

It must be said that Kane and his team-mates were certainly helped by some poor defending in Gameweek 5, although that was largely only during the first 20 minutes.

During this period, the Hammers were all over the place at the back. Having switched to a back-five, there was no communication in the opening exchanges and it was often unclear who was picking up which attackers.

That led to very little pressure on the ball, allowing for more time for Kane, Son and Reguilón to create the three chances that led to goals.

While that period might have encouraged those looking at Manchester City and Liverpool assets for the Gameweek 6 and 7 captaincy respectively, it is interesting to note that West Ham were much harder to break down after slipping into the initial 3-0 deficit.

They have weathered the storm of their difficult fixture run since the beginning of the campaign much better than expected, especially in comparison to the rest of the Premier League.

Between Gameweeks 1 and 4, their expected goals conceded (xGC) score was just 3.71 having faced Newcastle, Arsenal, Wolves and Leicester. That was the fourth-best in the Premier League over that period and the second-lowest of any team that had played four matches.

Even after conceding three goals at Spurs, their xGC of 5.40 was still in the division’s top three prior to Monday evening’s matches, although of the teams that played last night, only Burnley boasted a better score anyway.

Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m) is sure to end up on more and more Fantasy radars as West Ham’s fixture swing approaches in Gameweek 8. Between then and 13, David Moyes’ men face Fulham (home), Sheffield United (away), Aston Villa (home) and Leeds (home).

And against Wolves, Leicester and Spurs, Cresswell has registered a clean sheet and three assists, averaging nine points per game in that time.

The New Sergio

Reguilón is slowly emerging as the eye-catching Spurs defender, grabbing an assist in his second successive start at left-back, while the more expensive Matt Doherty (£5.8m) has missed out on each of the last two matches to Serge Aurier (£5.2m).

Reguilón has been a persistent creator of chances in his two Premier League outings thus far. Despite playing just 180 minutes compared to the rest of the team, his five key passes this season is the most of any Spurs defender and behind only Son (16) and Kane (13).

However, clean sheets continue to prove elusive for Mourinho’s men as they managed to surrender a 3-0 lead in the last 10 minutes of Sunday’s London derby.

It was a just reward for West Ham, who had proved persistent, especially during the second half and finished the game with more shots (13 to 11) and more shots in the box (10 to five) than their hosts.

It meant that Spurs are still without a clean sheet since Gameweek 37+ of last season and have let in eight goals since then, 1.6 per game.

Even though it looked settled at first, the centre-back pairing under Mourinho remains complicated for Fantasy managers and could be the only thing that might temper further investment in Reguilón.

Eric Dier (£5.0m) missed out for the first time with a hamstring injury, allowing Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) to make his first start since Gameweek 1, this time alongside Davinson Sánchez (£5.4m). That was actually the centre-back pairing used the last time Spurs kept a clean sheet in the Premier League, although it did not work out on Sunday, with the Colombian netting an own goal. 

Meanwhile, after five matches, Spurs’ xGC of 7.18 remains inside the bottom seven so far this season. However, they do face Burnley (away), Brighton (home) and West Brom (home) before Gameweek 8.

Time to Bale?

After much fanfare, Gareth Bale (£9.5m) has finally made a reappearance in the Spurs team, this time as a 72nd-minute replacement for Steven Bergwijn (£7.1m).

The incredible performance of Son so far this season has largely pushed the Real Madrid man to the periphery of the Fantasy radar but managers would do well to keep an eye on him in the coming weeks.

As the South Korean’s price rapidly increases in line with Bale’s (now £9.3m to £9.5m), the latter may find himself less overlooked in the interest of value.

And if his 18-minute spell against West Ham is anything to go by, the Welshman is sure to find himself in the goals this season.

Stationed on the right-hand side of Spurs’ attacking midfield, Bale linked up well with Kane and was played through for what looked a certain goal in the closing stages.

We will also have to keep an eye on what impact Bale has on the key assets around him and whether or not he might detract from the amount of possession Son sees. Against West Ham, the two players had the same minutes per touch figure of 1.6.

Antonio latest

Finally, an update on Michail Antonio (£6.3m), whose 76th-minute substitution ensured he was not involved in any of West Ham’s comeback goals.

It was his first blank away from home this season and the forward can certainly consider himself unfortunate to have registered just one point, as he had more touches in the penalty box than any other player on the pitch (10) and was joint top for shots in the box too.

Moyes revealed after the game that Antonio had a tight hamstring and that the substitution was largely precautionary.

“Michail had a tight hamstring and I didn’t want to take any chances at that time so I changed it.” – David Moyes

While Antonio owners will have to wait on the next press conference before making a final decision, his chances of a start up-front were still boosted by the latest news on Sebastien Haller (£6.2m), West Ham’s only other senior recognised striker, who missed the Spurs game with a knock.

“We were pretty short, Seb Haller picked up an injury in training yesterday.” – David Moyes

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Reguilón, Sánchez, Alderweireld, Aurier; Højbjerg, Sissoko; Son (Moura 80′), Ndombèlé (Winks 73′), Bergwijn (Bale 72′); Kane.

West Ham United XI (5-4-1): Fabiański; Masuaku (Snodgrass 90′), Cresswell, Ogbonna, Balbuena, Coufal; Fornals (Lanzini 77′), Rice, Souček, Bowen; Antonio (Yarmolenko 77′).

    Can anyone explain what the hell has happened to TAA? Whats holding him back?

    1. tc93
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      apart from allison getting injured.. whats happened to goals/assists

      1. Heisenberg W. W.
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Your better off with Robertson -- cheaper and more of a threat this season

        I took him out last week using my wildcard after having him for 4 gwks

        1. tc93
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          is it worth burning a transfer though? I'd personally say no

        2. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Wish I did the same on WC.

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool lost Alisson. Adrian is mediocre compared to him
      Liverpool lost van Dijk to deal with Everton's aerial threat

      Attacking wise?

      He has come close to a few goals and assists off free kicks and set pieces

      1. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        yea he'll come good

    3. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      variance. He will get his points soon enough.

      1. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        yea I'm sticking with him- he's been the top scoring defender for a couple of seasons- dont know if a transfer to robbo is worth it

    4. SKENG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      His role as deep lying playmaker is going to be limited by Thiago

    5. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      From defensive perspective whole Liverpool plays below last season pre-lockdown standards . Attacking wise - just unlucky. He could have an assist and goal against Everton. Pickford stoped Matip's header and decently saved his free kick. Personally, I will give him two more fixtures and reconsider after that.

    2. Runaway

      Hi!

      Werner to Kane and Doherty to 4.6

      OR

      DCL to Kane and Taa to 4.6

      What you think?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't like either of those. Doherty isn't starting and TAA is far inferior to Robertson.

        1. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Tim's getting rid of both though..
          A for me

            Ah misread that, oops!

      2. Dexters Laboratory
        • 3 Years

        A.. Hard to get rid of Werner after that brace though

        1. tim
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I know!

          But no way I can afford Kane any other way.

          1. tim
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I think getting rid of Werner is the way to go. I had a nice 80p week and he gave me what I needed. Everyone in my ML is getting Kane now so better do the same.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm keeping - think him and Jimenez will tick along nicely all season without European football to 20 goals each and 200 points

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ticking along won't be enough when Kane and Aguero are both firing

          1. tc93
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I've got kane- got ings and DCL along side

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I was replying to MS who has neither Kane nor Aguero

              1. Miguel Sanchez

                • 7 Years

                Have Kane in now for Richarlison

        2. tc93
          • 5 Years

          same mate- think everyone is massively underrating him

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Keeping for now but it's only a matter time before he becomes Aguero

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years

        Decent games? His fixtures are awful

    • Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on:

      TAA + Mitro -> Lamptey + Kane (-4)

      Wouldn't be against giving TAA and Mitro another week, but looking at price changes could be very costly...

      1. Dexters Laboratory
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Do it

      2. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Alternatively, could do Jimi to Kane for free...

        1. Dexters Laboratory
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Get rid of Mitro first

        2. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          same position, Jimi -> Kane more tempting for me

          1. Marcin the Pole
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'm thinking so too. Watching the games, I'd be inclined to say Mitro actually looks more like scoring than Jimi

    • Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      McCarthy ¦
      TAA - Coady - Ward
      KdB* - Salah - Jorginho - Son
      Kane - Maupay - Wilson*
      ¦ Bissouma - Justin* - Taylor

      A) Justin -> Fernandes + Reguilon
      B) Wilson -> Grealish + Aguero

      Which option seems better?

    • Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is Jim to Kane worth a hit this week?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Nope

      2. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Could go either way. Also depends who you'll be downgrading. If tight on budget, do it this GW, but no Kane might not kill you this GW as most will be captaining Salah anyway.

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I did it.

        Like taking risks.

        If you are a conservative player I wouldn't do it.

      4. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        yes I would- imo every team needs Kane/Son right now

    • JakeTheRed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Martinez - (Steer)
      Robbo - Saiss - Dallas - (Mitchell) - (Lewis)
      Salah - Son - Pulisic - JRod - Grealish -
      Kane - Maupay - (Brewster)

      My current team. Should I hold Pulisic, or get Zaha in instead?

      & no, I don't want DCL.

      1. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hold Pulisic, Zaha just doesnt do enough and Palace are a more counter attacking team so outside of the dreaded pen, its a no brainer , for me, to keep Pulisic (Very attacking team, explosive player, vs weak def in upcoming fixtures)

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can I ask why? Seems odd to go without DCL

        1. JakeTheRed
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Because I'm a brave, stupid man.

        Don't seem why he would be dropped. Think they are forming a strong unit between Coady, Boly and Kilman. Think Saiss is most at risk when Marcal is fully fit.

      TAA OWNERS
      If TAA blanks nesxt two games ?

      What will do with him ?

      1. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sell, pretty simple answer to that one. Very tempted to sell now but will likely give him at least this week vs SHU

      2. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        TC him

      3. Wingate
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        SHU and WHU.... surely he won’t. But it depends how they look. If they look crap then would consider shipping. But he won’t.

        I will make him watch 'Interstellar'!

        That is my question as well.

          Replied to the wrong question. Noob.

      Have a midfielder of:

      Best replacement for KDB this week?

      1. Vlekz

        TAA has 2 plum fixtures coming up for potential attacking returns. He has been unlucky with a few free kicks lately and he does take corners so I would keep at least for the next 2 games.

        Grealish didn't have 1 shot in the last game so I don't think at the moment he is worth bringing in although Villa have great fixtures in the next 10. Barkley is better than Podence I feel too.

      3. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Captain Salah or Kane ?

        1. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Salah atm for me

        2. dshv
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Salah

        3. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Salah

      4. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Anything worth a hit for next GW?

        Martinez

        Robbo Saiss Kilman

        Salah Sterling Son Foden

        Werner DCL Watkins

        Subs: Steer, Bissouma Taylor Mitchell

      5. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        KDB to Mane worth a hit? Tempting considering the fixtures and Mane seems like a juicy differential.

        1. 2OLEgend
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I would, but wait for pressers

          1. Over Midwicket
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Will do. Reckon it could backfire? Easy downgrade when KDB is back.

            1. Over Midwicket
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I would be removing 2 non-starters (James + KDB) for 2 starters (Konsa/Targett + Mane) so it'll workout in the long run I think.

      6. SKENG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Any chance Jimenez will be banned for that late tackle?

        1. 2OLEgend
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Doubt it

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Any excuse to sell

        3. Marcin the Pole
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Surely not as was looked at by VAR now? Would make my decision easier if he were though

          1. SKENG
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Oh so it was looked at then. Really struggling to decide if it's worth selling for Kane -4pts

        4. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Late tackle??

          1. SKENG
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Have you not seen it or are you making a pointless comment because of misuse of the word 'tackle'

            1. Rasping Drive
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              It wasn’t a late tackle though. Jimenez was lying on the ground and he tried to kick the Leeds player, missing his balls by a fraction. Fortunately the Leeds player didn’t make a meal of it, which is refreshing to see.

        Who to bench this week:
        a)Lamptey;
        b)Castagne
        c) Barnes

        1. tiltkamp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          A

        2. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          A think they could be a bit fragile without Dunk who is suspended

      9. MOZIL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mitchell to lose his spot next game?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I think so, PVA too good to leave out

        2. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Should do, yeah

        3. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Probably, but it's not impossible that PVA replces Schlupp and Mitchell keeps his spot. I wouldn't sell yet

      10. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years

        Pereira --> Pulisic for -4pts? Yay or Nay?

        1. tiltkamp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Pereira in for a decent outing against Brighton I reckon, a no from me

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not yet with Pulisic

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wanting to switch to 3-4-3 without having to rely on Brewster in the fwd line. Or committing to a 3-5-2 and turf Bissouma. So thoughts on this ?
        A) Sterling, Brewster > Hamez, Antonio (-4) (1.7itb)
        B) Sterling, Bissouma > Hamez, Foden. (-4) (1.4itb)
        C)Save 1 FT, for x2 ft’s next week..

        Anyone think Brewster is up for it? Looked pretty off the pace over the weekend, first game I know but he might take a while.

        Any ITK as to when Alisson will be back?

        Thinking of getting in Adrian for a couple of weeks.

        1. tiltkamp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          First game after the next international break was the latest eta

        2. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Reliable sources have him possibly returning end of the month
          Must me a gambling man to bring Adrian in. Can’t imagine why? For the next 2 games his ceiling is 12 points but will cost you a transfer in and/or out in doing so

        3. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Heard he might be back for West Ham in GW7
