1. ST Harry Kane /// vs. Sunderland /// £10.9

*checks calendar* *notices it’s not August* *re-selects Harry Kane for fantasy team*

Kane’s August drought is the oddest thing, but no matter, it’s September. Kane is back.

Last week against Stoke City, Kane (rather unconvincingly, to be fair) broke his doughnut hole goal tally this season with an oddly unconfident two touch finish from about three yards out, after missing a chance. That sounds like a lot of qualifiers and not a lot of hope.

BUT. It’s still Kane and a goal is all it could take to get him back in form. Oh, and a home fixture against Super Davey Moyes’ sputtering Sunderland. That certainly won’t hurt.

Pick Kane and reap the rewards, even if his price is lofty.
