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

1,070 Comments
Share

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.

    I’m playing 3 at the back and my defence is:

    Robertson, Semedo, Lamptey, KWP, Mitchell

    A) Robertson -> Chilwell
    B) Semedo -> Chilwell
    C) Save FT (who to bench?)

        The next 2 fixtures aren’t that bad. Would get rid after that regardless

        The huge decision is Liverpool defence - I just can’t bring myself to remove Robertson.

          Yeah don’t remove Robbo, I have him in my team too. Chilwell in my opinion will regress soon as he won’t be able to sustain the level he is currently performing at.

      There's two: Williams and Phillips. I assume you meant Phillips as he's the one who played last week, my guess is he will play some odd games when Klopp needs him. As far as I know he's not in the squad for CL games so he should be more available for PL games than his buddy Rhys Williams but who knows really.

      Are you transfering him in or using WC during IB?

    Kane's Last game for me this week. Feel sad. My GW1 pick that I can be proud of.

    You will be missed, Harry.

    Just to be clear Bamford's surname is unique in the game and you don't gain any time on keystrokes.

    Its FPL not the Flintstones....

    Morning all,

    Not sure where to prioritise, I have 2FT and 1.1 ITB. I took a gamble a few weeks back on Bale which hasn't really paid off and I think the defence needs some attention?

      Saiss out. I'd be tempted to keep Bale for WBA

        Thanks Turfdom, leave it as just the 1 transfer?

        Also do you think it's worth getting Chilwell even though I have James or go with someone like Bellerin?
