GW7 ONES TO WATCH;HARRY KANE

Harry Kane (TOT) £12.4m

The Tottenham Hotspur striker seems to have rediscovered his eye for goal ahead of their trip to Huddersfield Town.

Kane ended a two-match scoring drought by netting the opener in a 2-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

He was also awarded the maximum three bonus to tally nine points. That was his second-highest haul of the season.
Stats boost

Kane's 25 per cent ownership will take encouragement from his underlying statistics.

He recorded four shots on target in Gameweek 6, more than any other player.

That matches his four shots on target over the first five Gameweeks.
Warning signs

Kane's improved accuracy looks ominous for the Terriers, who have struggled defensively.

No side have conceded more goals than Huddersfield's 14.

They also rank third bottom for shots faced this season, with 95.
Travel happy

Kane arrives at the John Smith's Stadium having impressed on his travels this term.

He produced a goal and an assist in the 3-0 win at Manchester United in Gameweek 3.

The forward also has history against Huddersfield, scoring twice in a 4-0 win in the corresponding fixture last season.

In a Gameweek where Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) go head-to-head, Kane is shaping up as a big captaincy alternative.

Alan Shearer says that in Felipe Anderson, West Ham United fans have found a shining star to be proud of. The Brazilian playmaker scored his first Premier League goal in stylish fashion on Saturday, producing a skilful backflick that set the Hammers on their way to a memorable 3-1 win over Manchester United. And Shearer, who includes West Ham's No 8 in his Best XI for Matchweek 7, says Anderson's growing influence is beginning to tell on a Hammers side who have earned seven points from their last three matches. "The summer signing scored a wonderful goal against Man Utd," he said says of Anderson. "He is showing the star quality that will get West Ham fans off their seats."
