Comparing Kane, Son and potential replacements as I plan for Spurs’ fixture swing

Fantasy Premier League managers need to start making a plan for their Tottenham Hotspur assets as their incoming fixture-swing approaches.

Leading the way with their 71 points each, Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) have been the catalysts for success during the first seven Gameweeks but that may not be true for much longer. 

Many of us will be relying on Jose Mourinho’s men yet again this weekend as they travel to face an out-of-form West Bromwich Albion side – but we cannot allow ourselves to get too attached.

From Gameweek 9 it will be a case of form versus fixtures as we see Spurs run into Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool in four of the five matches between Gameweeks 10 and 13.  Even though owning both Kane and Son has been almost essential in the early weeks of the season, I definitely think it is time we seriously examine the merits of keeping the pair beyond Gameweek 8.

      Nice, other than I'd look to lose Jimenez but only for a FT

    Are all of the experts who sell premiums they won’t Captain also getting rid of Salah? 🙂

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not an expert but Salah is a prime captain option in GW12

        That’s quite a long time away

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Will probably be my captain GW9 as well as I'm not bringing in any Utd

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Are you bringing in a City player in gw 10?

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

      I'm not getting rid of Son or Salah as long as they are not injured.

      Kane could become KDB in 2 weeks though.

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m an expert and won’t be selling Salah, he’s captainable in the next few weeks for sure

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah is 1 player u will almost certianly captain once every 2 weeks

    Morning all. Would you do of TAA > 6.4m (Chillwell/Zouma/Dias/Lapotre) to fund Ings > Vardy? Cheers.

    McCarthy
    Justin - TAA - Kilman
    Salah - Podence - Hamez - Son
    Kane - Ings - DCL

    Konsa - Lewis - Stephens

      1. Bobby_Baggio

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Yeah boi

  4. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha or Grealish? (next 6 gws)

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

      Grealish long term but Zaha for the next 4.

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

      1. BilalM
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'd go Zaha and Watkins. Covers the penalties as well

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Personally its best to go with Form

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

    4. Snooze ya lose

    WCT GTG?

    McCarthy Button
    Bellerin Cresswell Zouma Kilman Mitchell
    Salah Son Grealish Zaha Soucek
    DCL Kane Wilson

    £2.1itb

    Pretty happy with this set up, other than Zaha & Mitchell not set in stone. Thoughts?

    1. Ayling Buyers Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why not Forster as the 2nd goalie?

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry mate, it is actually Forster. Used to be Button pre-WC

        1. Ayling Buyers Club
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          All good, then. Although I'd might consider just banking the money earned from Mitchell and get some 3.9 fodder instead.

          1. Evasivo
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            That's my thinking too, as I've had him since the start so tempted to bank that £0.1 😀
            But would want fodder that plays 90mins and that's hard to find

            1. Ayling Buyers Club
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I guess your 5th defender won't ever be needed, but you never know. Depends what kind of FPL manager you are, really.

              1. Evasivo
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Yeap, I think the value of Mitchell is worth more than £0.1-0.3 and a nonplaying defender.
                Just hope he keeps getting minutes, otherwise that will change things. An upgrade to £4.3-4.4 probably more likely if so

      Who are you benching this week, i have the same front 8 apart from Adams for Wilson, it’s a tricky one?

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Soucek Kilman Mitchell

        1. Martin66
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Grealish at Arsenal is the one doing my head in against Soucek against a poor Fulham side

          1. Evasivo
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I think you have tompkay Grealish over Soucek but agree it's a tough one

  6. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo is better to carry on from next GW?

    A) Kane & Podence

    Or

    B) Wilson & Son

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years

      Tough but B will score more i think

    Hi...thoughts on foden to bowen - 4 with the team below please?

    Regret having foden on wildcard. Plan on getting martial and kdb gw9 and 10. So never going to be easy to shift foden for free.

    Think I may as well make the hit now when foden has lpool and may not start, and bowen has fulham

    Thoughts appreciated

      I'm in a similar boat - can't decide to hold or get Bowen/Fornals for a -4

    Ryan Saiss Reed Mitchell

    Already done Ings to Wilson and Pulisic to Ziyech for -4. Should I do any more transfers? Team seems on it's knees.

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have Son. Is it the right call to get Kane for Ings now or should I look at other options?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth it for one week

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane has bad fixtures coming up, I’d jump on another premium player from City/Utd instead personally

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Doing my head in. Please help by benching two:

    A) PvA (LEE)
    B) Bam (cry)
    C) Vestergaard (NEW)
    D) Hamez (MUN)
    E) Lamptey (BUR)

    1. Evasivo

    2. Baines on Toast...

      A, E

    3. Pukki Blinders

      What’s with the expensive bench? Will only create headaches like this every week.
      AC

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, it’s not good. I need to get rid of PvA if I don’t intend to play him.

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          PVA a great pick imo.

  14. CrouchDown

    Anything here worth a hit?

    Martinez

    Chilwell Bellerin Justin

    Salah Son Grealish Foden

    Kane Werner DCL

    Subs: Steer, Bissouma Mitchell Taylor

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      No, looks good.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      Gtg

    3. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This looks a great team I’d leave it

  15. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    TAA -> Chilwell
    Yes or no?

  16. Ayling Buyers Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have Ryan, Pulisic and 2 FTs. Don't really know who to bring in for Pulisic.

    A) Ryan/Walton -> another GK, bank the other FT, and hope that Pulisic plays (Brewster on bench)

    OR

    B) Pulisic -> KDB and TAA -> 5.1 defender, and hope that Ryan plays (will be down to 10 men if not)

  17. johnthepg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A. Robbo > Chilwell. OR
    B. Saiss > Cresswell

    Martinez
    Robbo Lamptey Kilman
    Grealish Son Salah James Ziyech
    Kane DCL

    Button Brewster Saiss 4.0 fodder

    Cresswell would replace Kilman in starting lineup

    1. Ayling Buyers Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B. Easily.

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

        why easily?

        I fancy Wolves CS at Lei

        1. Ayling Buyers Club
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Saiss the bigger worry. Liverpool fullbacks can always get you points. A benched player won't. But if I was you I'd probably just bank the transfer, as the Saiss replacement isn't really needed, like you said.

  18. Young Lingard
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I’m guessing spurs won’t have open training today so no look to see if Reguilon will train before deadline ?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Best hope for some nosey photographers

      1. Young Lingard
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Would they train though this morning ?
        I’m unsure about the travel back post europa schedule

    Hitting WC this evening. Best way to improve this team just for this week with 1FT?
    2.8 itb

    McCarthy
    Zouma, Justin, C. Taylor
    Salah, Son, Foden, Podence
    Kane, Werner, DCL

    A) Foden -> Zaha
    B) Foden -> Ziyech
    C) Podence -> Zaha
    D) Podence -> Ziyech
    E) something else

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Podence to Bowen

    2. Ayling Buyers Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden to Ziyech looks good.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      B I'd say

  20. Klip Klopp

    What’s the latest with Reguillon? Will Davies play instead?

  21. King Kohli

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this transfer plan?
    Gw 8: Ings + Robertson > Bamford + Chilwell (-4)
    Gw 9: Maupay > Antonio/Wilson
    Gw 10: Son > KDB

    Martinez Steer
    Robbo Konsa Kilman Mitchell Johnson
    Salah Sterling Son JRod Anguissa
    Ings DCL Maupay

    1 FT 0 ITB. No WC.

    1. FPL Daniel

      I like the minus 4

  22. Atimis

    Worth making any changes ?

    1FT 1.6 ITB.

    Martinez

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      can roll the transfer this week

  23. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How's this after 2ft? No Chelsea is a bit scary maybe

    Martinez
    Lamptey* KWP Coufal
    Salah KDB Son Grealish Zaha
    Kane DCL

    Forster; Ayling, Kilman, Brewster

  24. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Finally getting rid of Mitrovic... DCL or Wilson?

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

      Wilson

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    10+ years in and still fan of a Power 5. If you nail that top 2K is easy.

    Near future Power 5?

    Salah KDB Sterling Jota Grealish ?

    Anyone beating them?

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too early for Jota imo.
      Maybe Hamez.

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota won’t be in there

      Rodtiguez, Zaha or Chelsea mid

  26. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Coady to Bellerin for free

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      waste of transfer for me. but it depends on your defense.

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

        I had Coady, Saiss and Robbo.

        I transferred the first two for Bellerin and Zouma for free this week.

  27. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Early deadline, need to finish this WC. Any thoughts?

    Mendy, Forster
    Chilwell, Cresswell, Vestergaard, Lamptey, Kilman
    Salah, Son, Grealish, Ziyech Riedewald
    Kane, DCL, Wilson

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

      Decent team. I prefer Bellerin more than Creswell. Arsenal have looked stronger defensively than West Ham.

    2. jomikijiq

    Start in that order? Might as well just play the most attacking if clean sheets look unlikely

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't get the question

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

      I spent 5.1m of my precious FPL currency to bring you in this week. Please score a goal and don’t concede this week. 3 bps would be appreciated too.

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Wilson or Bam Bam?

    Antonio or Bam Bam?

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio
