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've done Taylor>Bellerin. Was considering Coady for Konsa soon! Mendy in goal, nice little 5.0 5.0 5.0 set-up I thought.

    Still don't know who to get as Ings replacement, not keen on expensive forwards and not convinced about long term Watkins\Bamford value.

    Got 2 FT and 1.1 in the bank - sometimes its easier when you don't have many options.

    Which 2 weeks punt would you pick as a TAA replacement?

    A- Reece James
    B- Bellerin

    I like Reece better but there's a rotation risk I believe over the next two games especially the GW9 game. There's zero chance T.silva will play on GW9 as Brazil play on the 18th in Uruguay and Chelsea plays on the 21th early kick off. Reece James has no Internation duty but he generally plays when T. Silva. Azpilicueta doe snot have any International duty so probably nailed for GW9. Could be be played in CB and James on the right?

    Reece higher ceiling but Bellerin safer?
