The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts offer their advice on whether to sell Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) and Harry Kane (£11.7m) to make way for other players while using the Free Hit chip in Blank Gameweek 32.

I am always happy to back Newcastle United at home, therefore Trippier, with his multiple routes to points, stays in my team as part of my Free Hit. But I feel I can go against Kane, in what is a tough away match.

I am likely to pick Trippier and avoid Kane in my Free Hit team. This is mostly because I have been so underwhelmed with Tottenham Hotspur of late. If Newcastle can keep a clean sheet, and they've done that a lot this season at home, then we can expect Trippier to pick up bonus points too.

If you are playing your Free Hit then you are likely to want to mix it up a little. Kane and Trippier are heavily owned so you'll be going against effective ownership but it feels like a missed opportunity not to experiment a little more while using your Free Hit chip.

Since Gameweek 22, Newcastle have only kept one clean sheet and Trippier has also only produced two attacking returns. I think there are better defenders in Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m), Tyrone Mings (£4.6m), Gabriel (£5.3m), as well as Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) and Marc Guehi (£4.4m).

I will be keeping Kane alongside Ollie Watkins (£7.7m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.2m).

I'm finding this match really hard to call and might therefore avoid assets from this fixture altogether. I can see more viable alternatives up front to Kane than I can at the back with Trippier though, so I may stick with the Newcastle right-back.

I am expecting Newcastle to show a reaction after their 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa, and only Liverpool and Manchester City have scored more than one goal at St James' Park this season. With this in mind, I will be going without Kane as I think Newcastle will keep a struggling Spurs attack out.

Pranil Sheith (@Lateriser12)

This match is very difficult to predict and with other forwards in contention, I might take Kane out. Trippier may stay, though, since he has so many routes to points and Newcastle are at home.
