Lets Talk about Kane
I'm guessing most people have Kane and Lukaku in most, if not all of their teams and are frustrated by his output. His shooting stats (total, in box and on target) are ridiculously good but he just isn't converting.
City have Palace this weekend after Spurs play in the early kick off but they also play in the early kickoff next weekend which means there are no 2-0 opportunities. City next week have Chelsea which doesn't seem as good of an opportunity as Palace this week. So what are people's plans?
a) Keep Kane and wait until next week's early kick off, if he blanks in both games then transfer.
b) Keep Kane no matter what happens in the next 2 games (barring injury or suspension).
c) Ditching Kane if he blanks against West Ham this week.
d) Ditching Kane even if he gets goals/KCs against West Ham this week.
I'll likely do a) although with 5 teams, all with Kane, I think I may gamble on c) for 1 team and get Aguero in (one I don't have Jesus in)

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
The player I'd be ditching Kane for is Aguero (already have Jesus). Whilst I'd love to have Aguero this week, Kane's next 3 are decent fixtures and as you say his underlying numbers look good, so I'm just going to have to swallow whatever happens at Palace, hoping that Jesus scores well...Will revisit after the next International Break, as Spurs' fixtures in October seem more challenging..

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
Well I don't have Kane or Lukaku but I am thinking of ditching Dele( also have Eriksen) for Aguero. With a congested fixture list all round I predict a lot of rotation. It may be best to do nothing. If I had Kane I would keep. People always regret selling him.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I have Kane and Lukaku, sticking with Kane for now, but will see; Aguero is looking tempting...

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
Interesting Jesus played 90 minutes last night with Aguero given a rest. Potentially Jesus will get a rest Saturday which isn't ideal for my teams.
I'm still likely going to stick to my guns for this week at least. City's fixtures minus the Chelsea game are nice so it is tempting (yet again in the short term so are Spurs). Man United's start to slip soon so I may re-assess next week or the week after. May even be worth doing some Lukaku>Aguero's then.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I read the Jesus situation the same, and wouldn't be surprised if he was rested at the weekend. I have enough cash to go Jesus to Aguero and I fear I don't have the willpower to resist if he is rested.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
As a Jesus holder I'm perhaps looking through rose tinted glasses but I thought 2 games per week was too much for Sergio and his piano wire hamstrings but no problem for young Jesus (he is immortal after all). As such I'm hoping both start at the weekend.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I think both will play. Sane also played and he is the most likely replacement. If you switch to Aguero you may want to switch back the following week when it's Jesus turn to start. I'm thinking of having both. Win win

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I think you have to look at it this way. They have 3 games in 7 days... One against Crystal Palace one champions league and one against Chelsea. I don't think jesus will play all 3 games after playing 90 mins in the week (first time he's played 90 mins all season!) and with pep seeing him as a main player I'd guess he will be rested at the weekend. The players rested in the week are the likely ones to play all 3 games. Aguero silva Kdb etc...

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
Even on the bench a player like Jesus more than likely to come on and grab points especially if Aggro gets puffed out.
I think those already on the Jesus trail won't be too miffed if he is benched given the number of games to be played in this part of the season and the fact that he already scored plenty of points.
I always like to have Aggro is my teams sooner than later but at this particular junction he won't be drafted in to any more of my teams unless Kane gets an injury in the early KO.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I am unlikely to. If Kane does blank I may do it 1 out of my 5 teams. The rest I will wait until their early kick off next week and see.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
Im very much in the b bracket. I just think no matter what fixtures or form he has kane will always score goals. I've had him from the start so feel like I've seen out his tough run and he will eventually start banging them in again and I don't want to miss out. Especially on sergio who will probably score similiar points but could pull a hammy at any moment

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I was a firm (a) on Monday and at the moment (with no further grounds) I'm edging towards (c). No wonder I'm hopeless at this game

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
If i had Kane he would be a keep for me. What about Vardy in the late kick off? Looks very sharpe and on Pens again. Plus they have already played 3 of the top teams and no Europe to think about.

Not considering this and I'm out and busy tomorrow so should be little chance of changing my mind.

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
I think it was a genuine injury but he is a tough nut and always seems to recover well. I may put him in for Willian but had planned on Mane

Re: Lets Talk about Kane
Two for Kane already
Feel like there's a bit of knee-jerk about this conversation tbh, based around an Aguero hat-trick last week.
Kane scored, what, 4 hat-tricks last year? We're in game week 6 and going into today Kane was averaging fractionally under 5ppg - not ideal at his price, but far from a disaster, and he's a windfall waiting to happen. And with two goals in the first half an hour today, and West Ham having to chase the game now...
I would love to have Aguero but this year there is an abundance of good striking options - I can't in good conscience justify dropping Kane, Lukaku or Jesus really, better to wait for a proper reason to do that.
