Fantasy football scout tips and picks gameweek 7: Harry Kane, Alexandre Lacazette, Richarlison and more

How many of our picks are in your squad?

Harry Kane

Could it finally be time to invest in Harry Kane? The fixture list certainly suggests so.

While other ‘top six’ sides meet each other over the coming weeks, Tottenham travel to Huddersfield then entertain Cardiff at Wembley.

Kane enjoyed himself last time out against Brighton, scoring from the penalty spot, and his worrying shooting numbers picked up slightly.

Our main problem, however, is that it is near impossible to have both him and Mohamed Salah in a competitive squad. As both show signs of hitting form, it's time for many managers to make a decision.

Alexandre Lacazette

Another emerging option up front can be found on the other side of north London in the form of Alexandre Lacazette.

Though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was preferred by many in pre-season, Lacazette is slowly establishing himself as Unai Emery’s first-choice central striker.

Watford’s early resilience at the back is set to be tested at the Emirates on Saturday, with Fulham (A), Leicester City (H) and Crystal Palace (A) to come for Arsenal.

Richarlison

Having served his three-match suspension for last month’s sending off at Bournemouth, Richarlison blanked in Everton’s defeat at Arsenal last weekend.

Even so, his return is a welcome one as the shot-happy winger promises to be Marco Silva’s chief attacking outlet over the months ahead.

The visit of defensively-suspect Fulham is exactly the sort of fixture Richarlison requires to rediscover the form that saw him pick up 23 points in the first two gameweeks.

Rui Patricio

Quickly emerging as the go-to budget goalkeeper of choice, Rui Patricio has seen his ownership steadily rise over the last couple of weeks.

The Wolves ‘keeper picked up clean sheets against West Ham and Burnley recently and earned a valuable save point for his work at Old Trafford last time out.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have looked defensively resolute so far and Southampton’s visit to Molineux on Saturday offers hope of another six points for Patricio.

Aymeric Laporte

Despite Pep Guardiola’s reputation for rotation, Aymeric Laporte has played every minute of Manchester City’s league campaign so far.

And though he does not offer the attacking potential of a full-back, the 24-year-old could offer a steady trickle of points if City can keep it tight.

Brighton’s struggles to score on the road are well established and Chris Hughton’s side are unlikely to find much joy at the Etihad on Saturday.

Ones to watch: DeAndre Yedlin, Kieran Trippier, Ryan Fraser, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Raul Jimenez.
