What to do with Harry Kane?

Fantasy Football managers are struggling with the late news regarding the Kane injury. Here’s the Fantasy Premier League community roundup!

There was a slight suggestion all week regarding the fitness of Kane, but it hasn’t made life easier for FPL managers. I’m on a wildcard this week and I’m still struggling with indecision.

Concerned that Kane is an injury doubt for GW10. @BenDinnery? Poch wouldn't want Jose to know that the Harry Kane Team is down the main man!

Managers everywhere are going into a meltdown, Twitter has quite literally erupted!

Here’s the official news from Ben Dinnery.

Harry Kane underwent assessment and investigation earlier this week, which confirmed a minor strain to the left hamstring. #COYS

— Ben Dinnery (@BenDinnery) October 27, 2017

Kane ruled out: "We cannot take a risk for tomorrow, we'll see after for Wednesday. But tomorrow, it is impossible." #COYS

Kane will be assessed again ahead of the UCL tie vs Real Madrid. #COYS https://t.co/LadL6056QH

The main information that could influence our decisions, is how long Kane is actually out. Ideally, he’d be the key captain contender for GW11 V Crystal Palace BUT he could miss out until after the international break.

Kane will be out for longer than GW10. They’ve been very coy about the injury ahead of MUN game, the same ahead of Real Madrid UCL tie…. https://t.co/c6RyCvMwTi

3) adding all of previous tweets estimations, Kane will not play for 18-21 days. Commence training day 5 post injury. Training at 75% next.. pic.twitter.com/VsVRjWetkD

4) training at 75% next week, miss @realmadrid game & CPL game. Return 18 Nov vs Arsenal pic.twitter.com/m8a5OVq2xs

Now there’s several options for Kane owners.

1. Bench

2. Sell

3. Free Hit

4. Wildcard

The FPL Herald has covered all of the options in another brilliant article.

My thoughts on whether or not you should sell injured Harry Kane and if so, who to replace him with https://t.co/tfMh7blYZI #FPL #GW10 #thfc

— David Munday (@DavidMunday815) October 27, 2017

Bench – if you’ve got Kane at a cheap price £12.4, there’s an argument to bench if he happens to only be out for a week as there’s value in him and you’ll want him for GW11. The United game wasn’t a favourable fixture anyway.

Is Kane worth keeping just for CPL in GW11?#FPL | #PL

Looks like the mighty Carroll will come in for Kane this week in a 3-5-2 formation. No point transferring out so bench for HK #FPL pic.twitter.com/c5ejxvuJKP

Free Hit – plenty have taken hits to ditch Lukaku and bring in Kane this week. Can the free Hit repair that damage?

Free Hit ??

Recommended Formation: 3-5-2 ?

Template MIDs
Sanchez – Hazard – Salah – Sane – Richarlison

DEF
Burnley (H) likely to get a CS
2x Burnley DEF seems wise ?

FOR
Avoid Aguero (likely rested). Jesus, Morata, Laca, Vardy all options ?

My thoughts! ⚽️ #FPL

Wildcard – some of us were already on a wildcard, some have activated now to repair the damage. Here’s my poll and thoughts. I believe that 3 premium strikers is essential this season and I will want Kane back if he happens to be fit for Gameweek 11 against Palace.

?It’s times like these where I wish Sanchez was listed as a striker. If I don’t have Kane, I need a strategy to get him back.

Choices ⬇️

⬇️Reason I’m sticking with 3 premium forwards despite Kane injury news. ESSENTIAL https://t.co/4vajQE4MyV

Wildcard ?

Money ITB for Morata or Jesus ➡️ Kane when he’s back.
