Fantasy Premier League: Options to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku

2) Straight transfer – Harry Kane

A more out of the box option than moving to Vardy, FPL managers moving to Harry Kane in a single transfer from Lukaku would likely need to have at least 0.4 in the bank.

The 12.1m forward produced a double-digit haul last week and looks like he’s getting back to his former self with every passing week.

He’s producing an xG of 0.40 and xA of 0.36 per 90 over his last 3, very strong underlying numbers for a player with historically high-quality finishing ability.

His next 8 games look decent and the opportunity to jump on a prime FPL prospect with 5.6% ownership looks a tempting option for the upside chasing managers.
