Kane and Son turn the screw on dominating effective top 10k ownership

Harry Kane (£10.9m) continues to turn the screw on his effective ownership among the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Following what looked like a close-call in the Gameweek 7 captaincy debate, the latest statistics from the top-level managers told a completely different story.

Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) was the winner of the latest Fantasy Football Scout captain poll for the second week in a row, his 28.9% share of the vote just 4.1 percentage points ahead of Kane’s backing.

However, just as we saw last week, there is considerably more love for the Spurs man among the top 10k.

As you can see from the pie chart above, he has made a mockery of the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll at this level, by sweeping up 58% support for the armband at this level for Gameweek 7. That is an increase of 8.4 percentage points on last round.

19.3% went for Son Heung-min (£9.5m), which means that, even though he won our captain poll, just 15.9% of top 10k managers backed Salah for the armband. Perhaps West Ham’s recent improvements in defence was a key reason for the Egyptian’s lower than expected performance in this area.

There is a much more even spread for the captaincy at an overall level, but the Spurs assets still came out on top ahead of their hosting of Brighton.

24.6% have chosen Kane as heir skipper, 21.5% went with Son and a similar portion that we saw in the top 10k trusted Salah.

Kane and Son turn the screw on dominating effective top 10k ownership

With Spurs proving more and more popular among the top 10k, the effective ownership figures for Kane and Son are approaching frightening levels.

The former boasts 146.7% ownership at this level for Gameweek 7, with Son the second-highest on 110.1%.

While West Ham’s defence has provided stern tests for their opponents in recent weeks, Salah backers will probably be pleased to see him mostly overlooked. His 81.6% effective ownership is certainly enough to cause waves if he outscores the Spurs pair.

Even after just one match, Gameweek 7 has not been kind on the defensive template among the top 10k managers.

Following a seven-point score in Gameweek 6, Romain Saïss (£5.3m) came into the latest round of fixtures as the top-scoring defender. Unsurprisingly, his ownership at this level increased accordingly, rising from the fourth-most to most-owned between the two deadlines.

However, much to the chagrin of the 35.9% of top 10k managers in possession of the Moroccan, he dropped to the bench for the Friday night meeting with Crystal Palace, losing his place to goal-scorer Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m).

That event was compounded by the fact that the top 10k’s third-most fashionable defender Tyrick Mitchell (£4.2m), owned by 32.4% missed the match completely, following a knock he picked up in training.

After Liverpool failed to keep a clean sheet at home to Sheffield United last time out, the stock of their defenders continues to fall.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) slips to 24.9% ownership inside the top 10k, while Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) drops out of the top-five in this position.

Ben Chilwell (£5.8m) appears the most popular replacement for those leaving Liverpool defenders behind, the Chelsea left-back a new entry into this template at 26.4% top 10k ownership.

We have already seen that Son, Kane and Salah are fast-becoming must-owns in the top 10k, based on their ownership at this level, but Wilfried Zaha (£7.3m) is challenging the boundaries of such a status.

482,570 Fantasy managers signed the Crystal Palace man for Gameweek 7, more than any other midfielder. That means 50.3% of the top 10k now own him, handing him the fourth-highest figure in terms of effective ownership.

However, it was a poor start to such commanding ownership levels as Zaha blanked and picked up a yellow card against Wolves.

The Eagles face Leeds (home), Burnley (away), Newcastle (home) and West Bromwich Albion (away) between now and Gameweek 11 though.

Patrick Bamford‘s (£5.9m) Gameweek 6 hat-trick has also re-shaped the forwards’ template in the upper echelons.

Kane, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Callum Wilson (£6.5m) were the top-three most-popular forwards last time out, with the latter holding onto just 23.4% ownership.

Fast-forward to Gameweek 7 and Bamford has smashed his way into that trio, sat in 42.5% of top 10k squads.

Finally, a look at the chip usage demonstrates the credentials of the top 10k even more.

This group can no longer be referred to a selection of managers who wasted their chips early or rode their luck when doing so.

As you can see 44.1% of them are still yet to even deploy the Wildcard, let alone the Triple Captain, Free Hit or Bench Boost.

37.3% have used one chip, while no more than 13.3% are inside the top 10k on the back of using more than one.

94.4% of top 10k managers went chipless into Gameweek 7.

The Triple Captain was the most popular, but only 2% used it, mostly on Kane.

1.7% opted to use the Wildcard.

        Ings has as many goals as Jiménez and scored just 4pts more than him last season.

        Not sure I can see that move as anything other than sideways.

    Semedo with a farewell 8 pts. Not too bad. Zaha meanwhile staying after just 1 pt. Doesn’t feel right

    Saiss is currently the 5th most bought player ahead of next weekend

    After debating a nothing move...I took Podence out for Boden...DOH!

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen

      Bowen...

      1. vandebeek
        • 7 Years

        Great to see someone who did the same as me! But mark my words - Bowen will outscore him!

        1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Podence just hasn't been great...one week doesn't out do the previous 6 GW

          1. Werner Bremen
            • 5 Years

            I don't know what you mean, Podence was great. Fantasy wise maybe not, but he was playing pretty decent.

      I’ve owned Bowen numerous times thinking I was way ahead of the curve.

      Always flopped for me

    Many of the top 10k are casuals I expect they will start panic selling Saiss next week, cant wait.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss looks to have lost his spot, poor fixtures coming too. I cant blame the ‘casuals’.

    2. Kodap
      • 6 Years

      You expect him to keep his place?

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'm no casual but can't see much point in keeping a 5.3M substitute.

      Strange post.

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hi there, didn't you question me saying Saiss not nailed and that nailed meant someone like Coady who plays 38 games a season?

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Never mentioned Coady or 38 games a season. I just focused on the fact that you post complete guff all the time. 😉

          1. ivantys
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I did say nailed is someone like Coady 🙂 And you questioning my Saiss post then mentioned an out of nowhere Bamford 🙂

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              You mentioned Coady.
              I was going from OP of "There's been a ton of luck so far this season but at least skill prevailed today when Saiss owners outscored Kilman cheapskates"
              But as I mentioned, it was on back of a number of posts including Bamford.ones.
              Your point?

              1. ivantys
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                No point, just recapping what you said and good that you actually remembered I did say Coady

    How did Jimi look tonight. I missed the game.

    1. wagwan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Didn't play that well but on another night he comes out of that match with two goals and an assist anyway.

    2. The Suspended One

      Terrible; glad I sold. Would much rather podence

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not great, but Wolves looked a lot better on the whole.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm not too convincing but but he had a few half chances

      Rather Ings up top and Wolves at the back

  7. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Bruno & Rash too much Utd?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

      Nope

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years

        Wich one if we have to choose...?

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      hope not, I got Rashford in this week to join Bruno.

      Was a good sign to see the pair rested in CL and kept for the PL games. Hope that continues.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Bruno too withdrawn, not certain to keep pens

    4. Clintymints

        There is always this.

  8. vandebeek

    Saiss to Creswell the obvious move at that price bracket, ya?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think so. Or cheaper defender from WHU.

    2. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Think I am doing Saiss to Chilwell

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Just did this.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yeah or chillwell

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

      Not really, no.

      Would prefer Coufal or Masuaku and save the change.

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Masuaku could be a risk if WHU change formation - plus Benrahma lurking in the background - I'm going to get Coufal

    B) Zaha TAA ➡ Bruno Coufal

    1. Bleh

      A as I wouldn’t want to lose TAA. Find a way to keep/swap for Robbo.

    2. ReindeerHotdog
      • 3 Years

      Why getting rid of Zaha? Is he suspended or something?

      Palace have a sea of green ahead of them.

    What’s the consensus??Do we think Cresswell is worth the extra 0.5 over Coufal folks????

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Absolutely

    2. Clintymints

      Probably

    3. Hart-ake

    1. fr3d

      I'd get rid of all Wolves attackers

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Amazing save kept one out of corner and assist denied by a touch, best player on pitch and easy keep for me

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I saw some Hazard moves from him last week. Cant see why people keep Jiminez at 8.5 but dont like Podence at 5.5!? Illusion?

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ok, keeping. Need to spend a lot more to get better FPL asset.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was planning to sell him after this game but it wasn't due to his performances of late as I've thought he's looked sharp every time he plays, my concern was more about minutes and maybe losing his spot. I really can't see it after tonight's performance though and although the early substitutions are annoying.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Oops, didn't finish post.....'and dampen his appeal, I'll be keeping I think and reassess after Leicester'.

  13. Bleh

    What’s the sudden rush for Rashford? Sure he did will in the CL this week but it was one game? Surely Bruno is the more reliable MUN option.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Playing striker and could take the next peno

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years

        Pens, really?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Yeah Bruno missed a couple

          1. Bleh
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Interesting, definitely worth keeping an eye over the next few weeks. Personally I’m not desperate for any United assets for a while.

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah I’m thinking by the time I get him he will be hurt or played out of position again, he is by far their best #9

    2. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno is the better option without doubt

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not clear cut, may lose pens, Telles took most corners off him too. The covid diagnosis helps Bruno, but I think his deeper role continues to hurt his value, not worth the extra points with rashford playing striker

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kids meals are sugar coating the move along with a Hatty against a limp leipzig

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

      I brought him in. The spare change is already looking handy because it allows me to do Saiss > Chilwell.

    5. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno is a better pick but that doesnt mean they both cant provide value, especially considering Salah or Son/kane are hogging the armband

      Don't think so at all. He just played a lot of games recently, no ? But it tells you that Wolves, with european football, are gonna rotate, so their assets will be at risk sometimes. They're not that expensive so you can cope with that with a solid bench imo.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Wolves fans say so

      2. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years

        What european football?

        2. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Lol I thought they were playing UEL this season. It's been a long year.

      3. MarcusAurelius
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You couldn’t be any more wrong. Wolves do have any European football this year!

        And his place was already under threat by Kilman and Marcal.. now Ait Nouri too

        1. MarcusAurelius
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Don’t

        2. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes you're right.

        3. Rhinos
          • 10 Years

          That's very bad English

      4. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That’s the problem. We can’t deal with 5.1 rotation risk def

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years

      Just one more thing...

      I do Saiss so

    4. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Yes

  16. Brosstan

    The most relevant stat about top 10k managers is missing. 99.9 % of top 10k managers have been among the 0.01% luckiest managers in the game.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If being English Spurs fan and therefore owning both Kane and Son early is definition of luck, then absolutely correct.

      But I do actually agree with my current OR 😉

  17. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    a) -4 Trossard ----> Bowen

    b) -8 Trossard and Jimenez ---> Pulisic and Bamford

    c) Keep Trossard and Jimenez

  18. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why is everybody going Rashford over Bruno? He can't be captain material, can he?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More affordable and more hype rn.

    2. You've got red on you.

      Just Hype.

    4. ivantys

      He's back to the wings once Martial's back

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe so, maybe not. OGS has made some changes. Maybe he fears for his job now and won't risk too much vwith Martial.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He just scored a hattie from bench and I see no reason why he couldn't be C material just like Son.

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More affordable and will play as a joint striker when Martial is back.

  19. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any chance Aurier doesn't play at all on sunday ? Will get Podence 8-pointer if it happens...

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      On your bench?

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good chance Doherty starts.

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I hope so!

  20. HippY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With having 3 players play on Friday night returning 9 points, puts me in a top 10k place for the first time in.....5+ years? Lol

  21. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    As much as I'd love to keep Podence moving down to Soucek would allow me to move for Rashford in 2 GW's.

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

    Saiss > Chilwell before price rise. Too risky with all the games to come or worthwhile move?

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Worth it if you you will be priced out otherwise.

    2. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      coufal

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think I’m pulling trigger, he could easily rise 1 or 2 more after tonight

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

        It's pretty risky to move now and he still has two full games. Tricky spot.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I know but he’s pretty fit, I’ll hope for a rest in one of those two.

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

          Decided not to do it. The option to go down to West Ham is a real option that I have to consider. I might not plump for Chilwell especially since I still have James.

          I have a pretty interesting set of moves in Saiss + Foden > Pulisic + Balbuena as an option.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I am buying both cresswell and Chilwell just deciding order

    4. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Worth it now. You can assess whether any other move is worth a hit

    5. Kabayan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go cheaper, need fund to City's Mid(s)

  23. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather take a punt on Bowen or get Bamford instead?

  24. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How did PVA look for his 0 points ... time to sell?
    Worth keeping Mitchell still?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Won a pen but it was offside, he was good, I expect him to take schlupps place or Mitchell to RB

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks - got an assist last week, but that was also offside

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If u already own then its an easy keep, these fixtures are what u bought for

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Palace gash

      Mitchell priced aptly

  25. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Few of my transfers in the last few weeks:

    Removed Adams in GW 5, scores first goal of the season
    Removed Doherty in GW 6, keeps first CS of the season
    Removed Podence in GW 7, scores first goal of the season

    In case anyone was wondering, I'm planning to get rid of Foden next week.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do it! I’ll hold

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ha-ha!

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden looks great value, stop chasing points

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fixtures are difficult for a few weeks. And I want to downgrade to eventually make money for KdB/Sterling. I may very well end up keeping him. These are just early thoughts.

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What can you downgrade Foden to? Are there any good options?

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Grealish was in my thoughts for Villa's fixtures.

            1. WE GO FOR IT

        2. FPL_trail_runner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Foden has some amazing fixtures coming after Liverpool and Spurs.

          City have basically the best run of any team this year starting week 10 and going for 10 weeks.

          Im looking to triple up on city. Selling Foden now is prime to cost you soon.

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            City haven't shown any form in the league for me to consider even doubling up, let alone tripling up. Factor in the Pep roulette in that. If they do show form, double up with KdB/Sterling and Foden is plausible but anything more than that just doesn't make any sense given how the season has gone so far.

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

      Pulisic could easily outscore Podence this week.

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Looking back, given a chance I'd still make the transfers I have made in the past few weeks again.

  26. Robin Van Greenwood

    -4 worth it?
    A) saiss mitchell foden to chilwell cresswell soucek
    B) saiss Mitchell dcl to chilwell cresswell bamford

    Or
    Just saiss Mitchell to cresswell and 4.5

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      C

      1. Big Hands Barry
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A hit to sell foden or dcl does not make sense

  27. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Triple United looking good for the Spurs swap Bruno Rash and Martial in, great differentials. I expect 0.5 price rises on some of those players.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Great show, bad take

  28. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Taylor and Stephens coming in for Hames and Saiss... taylor CS and stephens 1 pointer would be great...

  29. g40steve

    Thoughts-

    Too risky to go double Chelsea defence?

    Got ChillyB & toying with Zouma?

    Or just Mitchell > Kilman & Saiss > Koufal or similar?

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Im debating Cresswell or Zouma as my Saiss replacement. (Have Chilwell already too)

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea seem solid?
        The other two free up some funds?

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          More solid but still prone to conceding. Has mitchell lost his place?

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Creswell on set pieces?
        Koufal scoring well for 4.5

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, creswell No2 on the ICT index. No1 creative defender in the league so far.

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Goes off to look at Creswell 😉
