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.

    shame rashfords minutes are limited

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Should start on Saturday given Mkhitaryan is a doubt and Martial has been rubbish. But probably won't.

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Has he played on the left before?

      2. TheBusDriver
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I mean as a starter not sub.

      3. TheBusDriver
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I asked you a question.

  4. Elijah's Wood
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Evening Gents! Not my team but would you wildcard this mess, or can my friend get away with taking a couple hits?

    Valdes*** Pope
    Shaw Stones Pieters // Holgate* Gardos***
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Ibe // Fletcher
    Negrado Musa* Aguero***

    £1.8m banked, the asterix's are levels of risk of not playing i.e. Holgate/Musa under threat of not starting, Ibe could be another i suppose

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Id be tempted to

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks Garlana, ive tried to advise on going without a GK until after this GW just to sort out the attack with a -4

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      with this team, I would.

  5. MOZIL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    is zaza nailed?

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yes, they don't have anyone elese.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yep.

      Bilic: "We're all expecting a lot from Zaza"

      1. MOZIL
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Zaza or rondon would be better?

    3. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Should be, their only striker

      1. MOZIL
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Zaza or rondon and why?

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Still dont trust a Pulis attacker no matter how many theyre buying. Then again all ive seen from Zaza is that 10 second penalty he missed in the euros lol. WHU have the fixtures so him but would rather Defoe/Benteke

  6. Niemi
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    A) Lamela + Lukaku
    B) Mane/Firmino + Defoe

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      If you are fixtures man, A.

      1. Niemi
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I prefer points

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          RMT thinks Lukaku will score a lot of points.

          1. Niemi
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Yes, but RMT thinks Mane/Firmino will outscore Lamela by more points than Lukaku will outscore Defoe..

              1. Niemi
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 14 days ago

                I don't think they have included that in RMT, Lamela has the same projected points as Alli and Eriksen.

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Lamela supposedly not going to play this weekend due to getting back so late (check tweets/hot topics? Someone posted)

      Im tempted on Lukaku but Mane looks great

  7. Hanniballus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    What is the opinion on Iheanacho?
    Too risky due to not nailed, or decent punt?

    Just love his ppm.

    1. Niemi
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Not nailed, Aguero back in 2 games.

    2. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Risky. You might see Nolito or Sterling starting in a false 9 this weekend.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Nolito will start upfront

    4. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'm punting on him for two GW's until Kun returns mainly for the game vs BOU suppose we'll know if he starts both games if he starts this Saturday.

  8. Gascoigne8
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Pick one please:

    A. Lallana
    B. Lamela
    C. Antonio
    D. Barkley

    Thanks

    1. Niemi
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      C

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      C then D then B then A

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      d

  9. Blurryface
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Zaza or Benteke?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'm going Zaza but both good options.

      I just prefer the players behind Zaza actually passing him the ball

  10. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    1. Willian

    or

    2. Barkley

    ?

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Im not sure how nailed Willian is, dont trust Barkley for points though out of those 2 Barkley. Both not great picks

  12. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    With Giroud back in the team and Sanchez back on the left is Sanchez still worth it? I remember a while back Giroud stealing his points

    1. Gascoigne8
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Definitely worth it. Prefer him on left to upfront.

    2. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      For me it's far from clear who the right Arsenal asset is.

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        To my mind you can only have 3 of Aguero / Ibra / Haz / Sanchez, and of those 4 Sanchez is the only one who isn't the stand out choice in his side. Doubtless he'll do well, but will he do so much better than the alternarives?

    3. Calafiorication
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Sanchez is not a CF, he performs best when coming from the wing...

  13. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Seriously hacked off but this is the best I can come up on WC:

    Heatster

    Amat, Friend, Valencia, Collins and McAuley

    Sanchez, Hazard, Capoooeee, Sterling and Antonio.

    Ibra, Lukaku and Gray.

    Issues:

    Would really like Barclay but who on earth do you take out of that midfield for him?
    The front three are a conundrum right now.
    Which of the newly signed players will become fantasy assets?
    Used my WC to clear the deadwood namely: Townsend, Long, Kun, Stones, Mahrez and Ramirez.

    Rate Me.

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Don't like Gray. Burnley won't score too many. Midfield is great. Defence feels a bit light weight. Collins nailed on?

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        No better 6.5 than Gray I'm afraid BB. No reason for Collins not to be replaced is there?

        1. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          A lot of uncertainty regarding his ban as well. Could downgrade a keeper and do Gray to Defoe/ Zaza

    2. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Gray should be replaced. I am assuming that you want Kun back in 2 weeks.
      That will need 2 FT's. If Gray get banned next week, you'll want him out. That
      means -4 for Kun in week 6.

      Amat is playing so badly, he could be benched any time. I don't know your
      $ situation, but he should be upgraded to a 4.5

      Collins seems nailed, but i wonder.

      Sterling has ManU this week, and then CL and rotation starts. You want Barkley,
      this is the spot.

      Benteke for Gray, if you can afford. That situation at Palace is made for him.

      I know you're sharp. You can improve this team.

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Good ideas. I like your thinking. Convincing reply.

  14. Stuberry
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Foster Pickford
    Jagielka Valencia Smith Souare Stones
    Ozil Townsend Sanchez Hazard Capoue
    Ibra Negredo Benteke

    Then a plan of
    Sanchez + Benteke ---> Aguero + Janujaz/Fer/King

  15. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Which 4.4 mid will get the most minutes?

    A. Leko
    B. De roon
    C. Cattermole
    D. Mendy

  16. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Thoughts on doing rondon > benteke ?

    Free transfer.

  17. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Ooh, my defence look terrible this GW. Think Friend has the best chance of getting a CS.

  18. Jimmers

    • 16 Years

    Lukaku!

        Guys he has 10 goals in 7 games for Belgium this year (including 2 at the Euros)... it's the woeful club form that's the issue. It certainly helps though for confidence of course...

        By the way Diego Costa scored 2 yesterday... 🙂

    2. THE Wild Rover

    2. Jersey

      yes. (i assume if Friend's injury was serious, we would have heard . . . Boro presser Thurs or Fri).
