Player VS: Harry Kane v Southampton

This looks at the next opponent of Fantasy Premier League‘s (FPL) top players, assessing whether they have a good or bad record against them. The player vs data, of course, it’s just for fun and doesn’t take into account factors such as the player moving clubs. A lot can change in the years since Striker A scored a hat-trick against Team B. However, if a player enjoys playing at a certain ground against a particular centre back, that could be useful information for the FPL community.

(NB. Premier League matches only. Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t included because his 2003-09 appearances were too long ago to be relevant)

The player vs data can be very helpful in assessing whether a player is worth investment based on previous meetings.

• Harry Kane scored against Southampton in Gameweek 20. He has at least six points in seven of his last eight against the Saints, including a 21-point haul (one goal, four assists) in last season’s Gameweek 2.
• All Josh King‘s returns against West Ham have been at home.
• Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick for Wolves against Leicester in 2018/19, grabbing 19 points.
• Four goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin‘s last three trips to Newcastle.
• Mohamed Salah missed a penalty in the New Year meeting with Leicester, alongside only one goal from six meetings versus the Foxes.
