After taking a look at the main goal threat from Fantasy Premier League defenders priced at 5.0 and under earlier in the week, we now turn our attentions to the centre of the park.

With the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard and Raheem Sterling high up on our shopping lists after bagging double-figure hauls in Gameweek 3, the need for value in midfield is vital.

This time around, then, we look at the leading contenders in the sub-8.0 bracket over the first three rounds of fixtures.

    One player missing from that list who could be a decent shout for a few weeks at 6.4.

    1. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Chadli

      1. Dr Dream
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No...but now you mention him....yes, him as well.

    2. Albrightondknight

      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lanzini 6.4 on the button?

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Shaqiri?

      1. Dr Dream
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. Not saying he's the best pick but should make that list.

        Shaqiri Bony Arnie

        Three good picks possibly once the Spurs game is out of the way.

  2. Twiggy SRFC
    10 years, 2 months ago

    My punt for the next 2 weeks before I wc is Capoue

  3. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Alexis anyone, I think he'll bag a few 🙂 (Y)

    1. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez has better stats

    2. Sailboats
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard (c)

    4. Albrightondknight

      Hazard.

  4. PEPSIMAN
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Coutinho or Mane? if not suggestions for 8.0~9.0 MF?

    Thanks a lot.

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling is a steal atm, 8.2?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Really can't see Sterling carrying on what he's been doing, his hype will soon die down.

        1. Bullet Eder
          10 years, 2 months ago

          It really won't. United and Bournemouth in the next two and he could be playing up front. The derby will be the most hyped up game this year, if he scores in that he'll rise and rise and rise.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            10 years, 2 months ago

            This is Sterling we're talking about here......

        2. Netley Lucas
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Pep loves him, allowed te do what he wants, enjoying football again... scoring & assisting. Reassess your thinking.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            10 years, 2 months ago

            lol

    2. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Few questions:

    1. Is MU defender must have or 5.0, 5.0, 4.5 def is enough?
    2. Ozil or Sterling if money not a problem
    3. Best 4.5 mid
    4. Best two 4.5 defenders

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1. No not in the short term. Season wise probably yes.
      2. If not covered in attack with either team already I would say Ozil.
      3. Not much maybe Rodwell.
      4. Evans Kone Holebas

    2. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1. The new Bellerin, just you see.
      2. Money is always a problem so behave, depends.
      3. Fletch, get's further up than Rodwell.
      4. Evans & ...Friend, Kone et al.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 2 months ago

      cheers

  6. Phil Dagger ⭐
    10 years, 2 months ago

    insight of the day : payet better option than others under 9.5 for next 6 GW's

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait.

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Dont think hes better than Ozil

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Third time you've posted this. Not having much luck with it, are you?'

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        10 years, 2 months ago

        due to a little error

  7. A La Pelle
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts? 2FT 0.5itb

    Foster (Jaku)
    Valencia Williams Stones (Friend) (Amat)
    Hazard Firmino Lamela Redmond (Capoue)
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    A) Kun + Redmond > Lukaku + Ozil (0.8itb)
    B) Kun + Lamela > Lukaku + Sanchez (0.3 itb)
    C) Kun + Redmond > 8.3 + Sanchez

    1. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      C. Sanchez Sterling.

      1. A La Pelle
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Would need an 8.3 forward unfortunately. Have no room for sterling I think

  8. @fpl_phenom
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Foster (Pickford)

    Valencia Collins Baines (Evans amat)

    Haz Ozil Antonio Sterling (Capoue)

    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    too templatey?

    Haz as Captain!

    1. Squires FC
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team. Collins at risk when ried returns?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ....... il start again ;-(

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It's very decent who cares if template or not. Template here does not equate to general public template so still major gains if it works.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        10 years, 2 months ago

        cheers mate

    Adrian pickford
    Shaw stones williams amat evans

    Exact money itb for ibra to kun

    Thoughts?

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think you're Kun plan needs a back-up plan. Up the Gooner class in midfield, it can be done.

      1. Netley Lucas
        10 years, 2 months ago

        *Your, bit pessed.

  10. Jersey
    10 years, 2 months ago

    this Andre Gray issue is a pain.

    it was so certain that Kun was getting 3 games that you could act in advance of the news. that is not the case here.
    extending it to next week makes it far worse for those on wildcard, who will want Kun back pre-GW6.

    Gray's fixture this week is great. but if you keep him and he gets banned next week, you'll want him out.
    using a FT on that will leave one FT the next week when you'll need 2 to get Kun back. it will take a -4.

    like i said, a pain.

    can we hold Gray here if on a wildcard? I'm thinking not.

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You obviously sell him on a wildcard

      1. Jersey
        10 years, 2 months ago

        thanks, Bubz.

        that's what i think too, which means he will probably brace against Hull.

        1. Bubz
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I have sold him too, so he will definitely score

  11. makaveli123
    10 years, 2 months ago

    England U21 struggling so far. Odegaard has been all over the place.

    1. makaveli123
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1-0 Rashford.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford 😎

    3. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nathaniel Chalobah 2nd

  12. Nazz
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Stones or Friend this week?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Friend I reckon.

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Man Utd away or Palace at home.... Friend seems the clear choice

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Friend

  13. CrouchDown
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Haven't logged on in a while so I just have 2 quick questions:

    1. When will we know about Gray? Is he sure to play this weekend at least?

    2. Is it worth a hit to get Sanchez in for Barkley/Tadic/Lamela? If so which one?

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      FA haven't even updated to the hearing news, wait.

      Dunno, depends.

  14. Carcetti
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez going down tonight? He's on -98.7!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not but prediction sites can be wrong.

      1. Carcetti
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers TM. I'll probably end up removing him for Ozil anyways.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Seeing Germany only had one game then you can nearly make that transfer now safely. Always wait if you can but it's getting close.

  15. Ziegler1988
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford goal

    1. Delhidynamo
      10 years, 2 months ago

      His enthusiasm is awkward and refreshing

      Keeper should have kept it out though

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nathaniel Chalobah 2nd

  16. The Gohan
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling + Evans or Lamela + Vertoghen ?

    If Sterling, then Sterling or Coutinho?

    1. Deulofail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stervans

      Don't get Vertonghen.

      1. The Gohan
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Any reasons, decent fixtures coming up.
        And secondly,
        Sterling or Coutinho?

        1. Deulofail
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Stervans

          Can't afford Walker?

          You still got better options in Shaw, Valencia, Baines. Even Dann, Fuchs, Clyne, Bailly, VvD are arguably better for attacking potential.

          Personally I'd pick some 5.0s over Vertonghen even if they were the same price, but maybe you know something I don't know 🙂

  17. Scotty B
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Beat 4.5 defender to rotate with McAuley home and away?

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Baggies' rotation is a myth, play 1 at all times.

      1. Scotty B
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No I mean best 4.5 besides McAuley?

        1. Netley Lucas
          10 years, 2 months ago

          If I said Evans would you go te the pub? 😉

        2. Netley Lucas
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Okay non-Baggies? Regardless of fixtures I think Kone & Friend are the best, Pieters once Butters is back deserves a mention.

  18. Amatteos
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think either Holgate or Holding will start this week. Made an error in playing my wildcard gw3 and now im regretting putting them in. Going to take a hit and go -4 to get one of them out. Whos more likely to start?
    A. Holding
    B. Holgate
    Any help is much appreciated thanks:)

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Holding might start if Mustafi is not at 100%

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Neither. Holding will lose his spot to Mustafi. Holgate to Coleman.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait until pressers. Mustafi and Coleman are the competition so see if they are ready.

    4. Jersey
      10 years, 2 months ago

      don't take a -4 for a defender.

      Holgate more likely to start, since the chance of Holding starting is 0%

      who are you other 3 defenders?

      1. Amatteos
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ive got Shaw , kingsley and amat. Not great i know. Kinsley and amat were just backups. I didnt do my research on holgate and holding. I just saw that they had played all the games so far and assumed they were nailed. Stupid i know:)
        This is my team
        Jaku heaton
        Shaw Holgate Holding amat kingsley
        Capoue sterling haz bark mane
        Ibra aguero stuani

        1. Jersey
          10 years, 2 months ago

          you shouldn't have two 4.1 defenders either, no matter who the other three are. sort out your defense fully when you wildcard

          don't -4.

          start Shaw, Holgate, Amat -- Kingsley in the first defender bench spot, Holding last.

          you have other issues as well . . . Kun . . . Stuani is a poor pick.

          i would not AOA either, because of Stuani and a mediocre fixture for Capoue.

          good luck.

          1. Amatteos
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Okay then thanks for your help:)

  19. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Foster / Heaton
    Shaw / Stones / Morgan / Friend / Amat
    Hazard / Barkley / Tadic / Ibe / Capoue
    Aguero / Ibra / Gray

    Got 2 FT and 0.8 ITB so probably going to do Kun > Costa and Tadic > Sanchez once the international games are over, anything else worth taking a hit for? Will have 0.5 left in the bank.

    1. Concrete
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No good moves for this week

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers.

  20. The Gohan
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling or Coutinho? Anyone?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Pains me to say it, but Sterling.

    2. F4L
      10 years, 2 months ago

      sterling

    3. The Gohan
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling it is then

  21. F4L
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Choose two from:

    A - Antonio
    B - Barkley
    C - Sterling

    1. Concrete
      10 years, 2 months ago

      For how long? This week?
      A and B

      1. F4L
        10 years, 2 months ago

        at least next 3 gws

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      BCA

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      AC

  22. Rex Lapis
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Redmond to Ozil worth a hit?

    1. Sailboats
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably yes

    2. Concrete
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  23. Scotty B
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'll try again.

    Best 4.5 defender besides a WBA one who will rotate well with WBA fixtures?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley rotate pretty well with WBA.

      1. Scotty B
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Already got Heaton

  24. Hargo
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Ibe to Sterling worth -4 or should I wait til next GW?
    The fixtures this GW looks better for Ibe but probably gonna fall in price.

    1. Concrete
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait on sterling this week

    2. Ziegler1988
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait. ManU away and Champions League

  25. Concrete
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Posted a few hours ago, cheers for replies

    New crowd, new thinking...

    Foster Jak
    Shaw Stones Amat Friend Evans
    Haz Barkley Sanchez Ramirez Capoue
    Ibra Costa Gray

    I've taken a -8 so far but debating a WC. Unsure what to do really

    A keep the -8
    B WC - will change Stones, Friend, Ramirez, Gray, BarKley

  26. Bruno Bruno!!
    10 years, 2 months ago

    best striker under 8.6 million not including benteke as i already have him

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Defoe

    2. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It depends because of Kun issues. 6.5 is Rondon, above that Bony and Tekkers, Remy wait and see.

  27. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Aguero likely to fall again and are Sanchez and Costa set to rise?

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Most probably

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ugh. Early transfers it is.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe before deadline.

    3. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      400k needed for 12.9, on 9.9% atm. I don't think it's on this week, maybe wrong though.

  28. Tornado
    10 years, 2 months ago

    For many this wildcard comes down to

    A) sanchez and benteke

    Or

    B) ozil and lukaku

    I like lukaku over benteke but sanchez is more explosive than ozil

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I honestly think Lukaku and Benteke will be let downs.

      1. El-Kloppico
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Don't say that.. I got both for a hit.

  29. The Gohan
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A) Benteke + Sterling ? -> No everton coverage other than Williams
    B) Lukaku + 6.7 Mid ?

    If B, then Suggest mid. Is Lukaku worth it(Decent fixtures)?

  30. Shrimpy
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Pickford fit to play? When does Mannone return?

    1. Netley Lucas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Think so, a while. Might get another keeper though so it's iffy but @4 okay atm.
