After taking a look at defenders priced 5.0 and under and midfielders costing no more than 8.0, our batch of members articles now focuses on the men up front.
With the Fantasy Premier League market in overdrive due to Sergio Aguero’s three-match ban, we cast an eye over the strikers worth considering in the sub 8.0 category.
Great timing for this article.
This is like the 43rd article today. Are the Mods on something?
Pure adrenaline at this point.
been a strong day, well done to all involved!
and still counting ~
mods high.
Is Ozil off corners and set pieces?
Sharing them with Cazorla at least.
Tm.your thoughts on giroud as a pick?
will be a decent pick if he plays... questions over that more so than ever now though with Perez also in the mix
He's a decent pick for sure. Conversion rate is normally low so will need a few chances to score.
Nice to see Rondon shaping up well. He'll prob just get the one more week for me unless he produces. Still just feels so wrong having a Brom attacker.
Your feelings are correct!
Class player. Hope Chadli can spark some more attack from WBrom
Chadli more likely take shots himself
Who would you prefer on WC ?
A) Lamela (lets say he'd start this gw)
B) Barkley
C) Cazorla
Hazard Sanchez Antonio ____ Capoue
Lukaku Ibra Benteke
I would go Barkley
Lamela cause you have Lukaku & Sanchez
yeah icurrently on him as i like to spread the risk. feel like cazorla and barkley could be fine picks too
A
I'd be thinking cazorla, think he stands a good chance of attacking returns.
Oh, btw, i tweaked my team somewhat from your advice below, any opinions this time round again? 🙂
So which 4.0 keeper is next in line after Jaku and Pickford? Im guessing none?
You guess right.
Robinson if you have Heaton
is robinson the burnley #2? i see they have a couple at 4
More articles than FPL points 😉
Poor Scouts working 16 hour days in the article mines. FFS getting a bit Dickensian.
Pretty sure they can write up articles and use scripts to schedule the uploads of articles automatically.
Don't tell the banned posters that, they keep thinking the mines are their penance.
Hows this for a midfield?
Snoddy Hazard Antonio Capoue Ozil
Pretty standard for an Ibra, Kun, Benteke (mid priced forward) front line
Baines vs Williams...?
I've managed to raise the funds for Baines. Williams not a bad pick.
Williams is a great pick but you will always have the voice in your head, pleading with you to find 0.5 somewhere, anywhere, to upgrade to Baines. Penalties will do that to a man.
is baines guaranteed to be on pens ?
might give it lukaku to find his goalscoring feet back and give confidence
What if Lukaku misses.. 😉
williams
I've baines since the start.
shameless repost, because of new post 🙂
Well, after remaining adamant with myself i would stick wit ha 4-3-3, some opinions on it have been mixed, so i come up with two teams.
Which one do you fine people prefer?
Team 1: 3-4-3
Foster
Masuaku - Valencia - Baines
Sterling - Hazard - Sanchez - Antonio
Benteke - Defoe - Ibra
______________________________
Pickford, Evans, Capoue, Amat
Team 2: 4-3-3
Foster
PVA - Bellerin - Baines - Valencia
Hazard - Sanchez - Antonio
Benteke - Lukaku - Ibra
___________________________
Pickford, Capoue, Hojbjerg, Amat
This will make or break my decision so any opinions on which team is preferred i will be inclined go with. Thanks gents.
Team 1 looks best to me
Cool, thanks JR 🙂
I like team 1 better as it has Sterling for GW5 and it's 3-4-3.
4-3-3 is fine on paper with attacking defenders but it's just as likely to get get you only 1 CS per GW, same as a 3-4-3.
If that happens 3 out of 4 GWs (could easily) then everyone with a 4th midfielder will have a fair chance of outscoring you.
Hi RCA, cheers for your feedback, i think i have to agree, was on this 4-3-3 for a week, but i have to be realistic i guess, and the points out make only back that up. Will likely be going 3-4-3 then.
1
think team A gives you more flexibility when likes of kun is back
spending too heavy on the back prevents this
Cheers man, yeah like i said above, think i had to think realistically about it, flexibility being key etc, cheers man.
Thanks too WG.
I am an addict to fantasy football.
Is it worth paying £12.50 to become a member?
100%
Great value imo
Yes. You can back up gut feelings with hard facts.
As the international break has dragged on, I'm considering Antonio more and more.
I'm now looking at Aguero, Capoue -> Lukaku, Antonio (2FTs). It will bank the Capoue 0.1 profit and allows me to play Ramirez this week and bench Redmond. Leaves me 2.1m ITB.
GW4 ; Hazard (swa), Firmino (LEI), Antonio (WAT), Ramirez (CPL), Ibra (MCI), Lukaku (sun), Costa (swa) bench Redmond (ars)
Then, GW5, Firmino -> Ozil, allowing me to play Redmond (SWA) and bench Ramirez (eve)
Then a GW6 wildcard.
Comments on the plan please 🙂
Talk of Ramirez and Stuani being benched. Play Redmond.
Oh, thanks for the heads up! Ramirez benched would indeed scupper the plan.
BULLET EDER
Choosing Sanchez over Ozil I can understand. He's explosive, a goalscorer and captain material.
However, I think many people are overlooking Cazorla to select Ozil which I find more difficult to understand. The saving is 1.9, more than the 1.5 between Ozil and Sanchez.
They play similar roles in the Arsenal side, admittedly Ozil plays further forward and is previously the king of assists, but with Cazorla seemingly on corners, free-kicks and penalties this season, I believe that more than makes up for his deeper position.
He's historically a very effective fantasy league player, and with no international duty, I think he'll be more nailed than people think, especially against the lesser sides where there is no need for Wenger to choose Xhaka and one of Coquelin or Elneny.
Wenger adores playmakers and will play as many as he can whenever possible, hence Ramsey on the right when fit.
Thoughts?
Sorry for the repost but it was lost on the previous article.
There is no alternative to Ozil or Sanchez. They are both as good as each other.
This. Wouldn't have Arsenal if it wasn't going to be Alexis or Ozil!
Valid points I like the cazorla pick
I don't think ozil will hit the heights of last year, rather have Sanchez. Cazorla is a good budget friendly pick, goals and assists in his locker
Bang on the money as ever WR
Best 4.5 defender? 🙂
JEvans then Pieters for me.
Wat def long term if on wc !
foster(pick)
mcauley/morgan/Valencia(amat/love)
haz/ozil/sterling/coutino(gibson)
lukaku/defoe/ibra
G2G?
or shall I just walk away...
Looks good to me. Best of luck.
Thoughts. Obviously forward line is a bit experimental. Maybe Hernandez instead of one of them.
De Gea Stekelenburg
Bellerín Alderweireld Rose Williams van Dijk
De Bruyne Mané Bolasie Redmond Snodgrass
Pérez Zaza Rémy
You might face Perez and Remy on the bench this GW 🙁
That's cool. It's a draft team, so anyone who's decent has to be a season keeper.
Is this a serious team? Five premium defenders? Are you playing 5ATB every week?
Draft team.
I'd keep Williams, Mane & Zaza and start again!
I meant to mention it's a draft team.
wow... just wow....
even autopick doesn't come up with this
Barkley, Baines and Lukaku .. too much Everton ? :O
Definitely
Won't be come Monday night.
Baines & Kaku just for me.
Who would I pick over Barkley in his price category? 🙂
Antonio maybe? I'm going with Zaza but would strongly consider at least looking at Hammers attackers for the next few GWs!
Antonio Hazard Barkley Ozil
Lukaku Benteke Ibra
The only one that I would consider is Lamela but I rate Barkley highly 🙂
Not necessarily. Good fixtures. Definitely a punt but could pay off.
On WC:
Shaw (bought at 5.5) -------> Valencia (rising soon)
In same position. The 'word' on here seems to be Valencia...
Quite a few players quoted in single figures in the "To Score Two Goals Or More" market this weekend. Diego is the 6/1 favourite closely followed by Harry at 7/1. Roberto, Alexis and Zlatan are right behind them sniffing their overpaid arses at 8/1 while Andre at 9/1 just separates himself from the double digit masses. On the outside looking in at this sexy sextet is The Garden of Eden at a whopping 10/1.
Looks like the bookies wouldn't have Mr Hazard at the top of their Captains Poll for GW4.
Already changed my captain from Hazard to Costa.
Me too.
Bookies don't factor YC/RDs and lost BAPS
How's wildcard looking?
Foster (Pickford)
Evans, Coleman, Masuako (Valencia, Amat)
Hazard, Ozil, Barkley, Lanzini (4.5)
Lukaku, Ibra, Rondon
Why Coleman over Baines?
Way more attacking/predicting Lukaku to be back on pens
That's a worry coming from an Everton fan. Do you think Williams is the better pick over Baines then considering you save 0.5?
I would pick Williams over Baines, he isn't worth another .5 and I reckon Williams will get more bonus points in the long run
I don't pay my membership for you to keep posting a pic at the top of the article with the content of the article there for all to see!!! 😡
Oh wait, you have Rondon and Llorente first and second? Carry on 😉
So much this 😆
You old dog you !
RP
Mkhitaryan dropping to 9.1 tonight... can't wait for him to become a first team regular (hopefully instead of Rooney), he'll be a bargain at that price!
If he's fit he'll start Saturday I reckon. Is he fit?
Any news on Valdes?
She's looking in over her head after the Lobos mess up!
LOL! smartass!! 😀 😀
They not playing on the same position but who will score more points until december wc ?
1. Lamela
or
2. Benteke
2
Lam risk
both good options. could be lamela as he's playing for a better team.
i might be wrong if tekkers find his goalscoring rythm soon
Close but if I was betting then Benteke
Any word on whether Remy will start?
He should but waiting for pressers. Confident him and Tekkers up front.
both good options. could be lamela as he's playing for a better team.
i might be wrong if tekkers find his goalscoring rythm soon
reply fail
Their chairman said on TalkSport today that the idea is to change the style and score more goals. (Was asked about Benteke and Remy)
so 2 up top. Remy was always coming in my team but good news there.
Very good news, thanks.
No not atm
RMT WC Please! Thank you
Foster - Heaton
Valencia – Williams – Masuaka – Mcauley (@ 4.6m) – Cathcart (long term/ Pieters if he drops to 4.4m before deadline)
Sanchez (C) – Hazard (Vs) – Antonio – Puncheon (Snodgrass later on) – Capoue
Ibrahimovic – Lukaku – Benteke (Bony, later on maybe)
ITB 0.7m
Aguero Gw6 Back Plan! 2FT
Lukaku to Aguero
Sanchez to Cazorla
Cheers, Thank you ! Any Suggestions welcome eg. Risks ?
alexis to ozil and upgrade 4th mid... also lamela or barkley are better picks than antonio
Cheers, but if i did that then i have to downgrade ozil to a 5.5-6m mid to get aguero back in so i would be back to square one with no ars mid then.
Does my defence look ok. Any risks ? except the wat def as he is long term as they have good fixs coming up !
New article repost
May have just found my Aguero plan, but comes with a hit.
Current:
Heaton, Foster
Shaw, Williams, Valencia, McAuley, Amat
Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, Antonio, Capoue
Ibra, Benteke, Stuani
1.3 ITB
GW6: Shaw, Sanchez &
Benteke > 4.5, Cazorla & Aguero
Thoughts on this midfield?
Sanchez haz antonio lamela capou
Too weak or? Forwards being ibra kaku tekkers atm
I had the exact same mids and forwards earlier until pickford became a risk. So i had to downgrade lamela to puncheon and was then able to upgrade pickford to heaton and amat to a 4.5 wat def.
Whats your defence like atm ?
It's great when you work alternate weekends and the International break is on your weekend in 😎
Have fun on the next international break 😉
