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.

        Nice start for you.
        I'll get you sooner or later. 👿

        1. I am 42
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          maybe he is the last man standing

    Currently on WC:

    Any suggestions for this lot:

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Valencia - McAuley - Souare - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Redmond - Capoue
    Ibra - Costa - Defoe

    1. Redmond > Snodgrass or Bolasie?
    2. Costa > Lukaku or Vardy?
    3. Jaku > Pickford?
    4. Change something in def?
    5. Other

    Please & thank you.....

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Holebas to Kone and Costa to Vardy/Slimani imo

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

        Kone, cheers will consider that....

    2. Sanchit
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      McAuley -> Collins? Not a fan of doubling up with Foster

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Costa to Vardy,
        Antonio seems a good punt and you need 1 Everton defender

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

          Cheers Cyllus, maybe Williams as have 0.5m ITB....

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I would keep, looks good.

      Is Sterling long term?
      For me i went Antonio over him as want Kun back asap and needed cash

      Maybe Look at Stoke/Kone/ Double West Brom over Holebas?

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Didnt see McCauly

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks Joggers.....Sterling isn't really long term, just for his h streak and City cover.

        Will do Costa & Sterling/Sanchez > Aguero & someone (Antonio) when time comes...

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Defoe to Rondon and McAuley to a West Ham defender

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

        Not a fan of Rondon (West Brom attack in general).......cheers Kante...

    5. AA33
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Holebas to Kone
      Redmond to Bolasie
      Defoe to Benteke or Zaza or Remy

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Why loose Costa? Great form and most transfered in player atm

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

        Probably won't now.....

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Any suggestions for a mid to complete this front 8? Budget 8.6m

    hazard ozil firmino Antonio xxx
    rooney lukaku diomande

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Capoue and upgrade strikers

    2. Postman Ty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      capoo, upgrade diomande and swap/upgrade rooney

    3. Igor! Pulis(w)ic!
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Sterling

  4. Joggers Nipple
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    WC and last choice

    Haz/Ozil/Antonio/ Capoue/ ????
    Ibra/ Betnteke/ Lukaku

    A. ???? is 4.5 mid (Rodwell).
    Play Capoue every week. Money ITB saved for straight Luk to Aguero

    B. ????? is 6M mid(Bolaise etc)
    2 moves to get Aguero back
    Lukkaku and Benteke out
    Aguero and 6.5 forward in

    Sorry for long format! Long term its really-
    A. Benteke and Capoue (plus cash itb for Luk to Kun)
    B. 6.5 forward and 6M mid

    Thanks

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      How much do you have in the bank currently for 4th mid?

  5. Joggers Nipple
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Haz/Ozil/Antonio/ Capoue/ ????
    Ibra/ Betnteke/ Lukaku

    plus 8.8

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Could make Ozil into Sanchez. Could get Lamella etc but spreading that Aguerio cash around too much is so hard to extract again

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Would only be two transfers tho. Maybe Sterling for 2 weeks
        If your WC is good enough one would hope you wouldn't need a 1FT for GW5 🙂

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Thanks. Had Sterling there before.
          Thing is he would be there for 2 wees and one game is Manu Away

          Then 3 transfers
          Sterling to 6m
          Luk to Aguero
          Benteke to 6.5

          Cheers for input. Think im going odd and keeping 4.3 itb, playing Capoue as my 4th mid and ending up with a front line of-
          Kun/ Ibra/ Benteke

  6. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    I am set on this till any new tinkering happens in here

    Heaton
    Walker, Mcauley, Valencia
    Hazard (c), Antonio, Mane, Ozil
    Vardy, Defoe, Benteke
    Subs : Pickford, Williams, Amat, Capoue

    Does it look good or any changes needed.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Pretty nice.. you not keen on 60% owned Ibrahimovic

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        No I am hoping Ibra blanks against Man Utd, BOU would be one game he might do something but going against the highest owned player could make me go higher in ranks or fall. Hoping for the best.
        Augero will be back in Gw 6 in place of Vardy

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Ibra plays for United not City

          1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            Yes that's the same thing I meant he blanks vs City and then Bou

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

      ITB 6.3m 😮

      You need to get some of that money in your asap, so yes to Antonio

      1. xtremesid
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Sold Aguero for Negredo hence the 6.3. Thanks mate.

    2. AA33
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I would have taken an 8 point hit to do Routledge to Antonio and Gray to Lukaku/Benteke assuming you are using wildcard after GW 5

      1. xtremesid
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Cheers mate ! M skeptical bout doubling Everton attack - waitin on Lukaku. Benteke yeah hoping he can put away some crosses.

  14. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    When was the last time Costa had a decent haul? 10pts plus.....hardly ever seems to do it.....forever goal, YC and no baps = 5pts

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      A goal is still a goal. Wont get a yellow every game

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

        Ha, I'm not so sure, I reckon a YC is more likely than a goal every game.....plus he doesn't like baps

        1. Postman Ty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          He will definitely score more goals than yellows, 12g+7a last year in a horrible season with 8 yellows and no reds. 20g+3a in a good year with again 'only' 8 yellows and no reds.

          An in-form Costa will get a brace here and there, or pick up a goal an assist, both of which will net him some bps and a safe 10+ points. Don't be fooled by last season or his mediocre 5's to start this season.

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

            Okay cheers Shadow.....every time I see him playing, he looks like a RC waiting to happen....

            1. Postman Ty
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 12 days ago

              Can't argue with that 😉

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

                😆

        2. Kante Be Bothered
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Yea thats true. He looks hungry for goals this season and if he can control his temper he can be a decent choice for a striker

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      5 is better than 2 though right?

  15. Beautiful Game
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    On wc,

    Pickford

    OR

    Jakupovic

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

      Not sure Niel, I'm in the same dilemma....gonna hope for some clues in the pressers

      1. Beautiful Game
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        I think Pickford is going to keep his place.

        Do you have any idea about Jakupovic ad Marshall situation?

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

          Not really, other than folk saying he deserves a chance (Jaku) because of decent start etc. But my guess is Marshall will take over eventually.

          What about Misa (?) who Sunderland got late on?

  16. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Excellent Feghouli fit. Another piece of puzzle.

  17. Postman Ty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    I'm really on the fence about keeper selection.

    Currently on Heaton+4.0 planning to play Heaton every week for those sweet saves. Never gone this route before so I'm very excited about it, but understandably a little scared.

    Option 2 is to do Heaton+Foster and rotate, but I've been burned a lot in the past with getting the selection wrong (no matter how good of a decision it was on paper). I'm not worried about emotions, strictly efficiency. They have decent rotation potential but they honestly don;t cover all of each others 'hard' fixtures and WBA complicate things by being better defensively away from home.

    I have the 0.5m needed to do this, even after getting Aguero back, but the issue would then be it tied up essentially until the end of the season, and it (probably) prevents me from getting someone like PVA once my current defender's fixtures turn bad. The upside would be hopefully rotating points potential, but more so the security of having 2 good keepers in case one gets injured or really goes downhill.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Short answer 4.5 and 4.0

      At the end of the season one of the 4.5 keepers will be around the 3rd or 4th scoring goal keepers.
      Home away rotation = frustration of missed clean sheets.
      Maximize cash on the pitch early on, i did go DDG end of last season as team value high and wanted nailed on Man U defense.
      That 0.5 early makes a 4.5 defender to 5.0 which can really help rather than have tied up in gk rotation.
      Just my opinion

      1. Postman Ty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Cheers! I can sleep well now.

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    How much do we expect Aguero to be when we want him back in two weeks time? 12.8m?

    1. Postman Ty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I saw stats saying that his ownership would have to drop by a further 30% to go below 12.9 which seems highly unlikely.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I guess 12.8.
      Hope 12.7

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      hopefully less than 12.5

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      12.9, not more not less...

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Foster - Jakupovic/Pickford
    Valencia - Williams - McAuley - Souare - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Redmond - Capoue
    Ibra - Costa - Defoe

    Okay, think I'm about there......any final thoughts?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      What about Collins for McAuley as you already have Foster?

    2. davies
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Like it - keeping Redmond?

    3. aleksios
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      solid team well done

  20. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Will Shaw be fit for the derby?

  21. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    On WC would you use choose a Defender from West Brom or West Ham to be in your team for at least next 4 GWs

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Postman Ty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I would do what you can to get one of each.

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      West Ham

    3. Kayz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      both have relatively easy fixtures for next 4 GWs incl. playing each other

      i would go with WBrom as they have shown more solidity then Ham

  22. Kayz

    guys need some thoughts on below

    current team

    jakupovic/de gea
    alderweireld/friend/parades/stones/taylor
    tadic/puncheon/hazard/bolasie/barry
    ibra/musa/ageuro

    take a hit of -4 and save on WC
    Tadic >> Sanchez
    Ageuro >> Costa

    OR use WC to make below

    jakupovic/de gea
    amat/macauley/stones/collins/valencia
    ozil/sterling/hazard/bolasie/antonio
    ibra/diomande/lukaka

    need to catch up as 40 pts behind leader hence really considering WC

    goin bonkers!! any suggestions would really help...cheers!

    1. aleksios
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      think you will need wc later,i would make the hit

      1. Kayz
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        but im stuck with a lot of dead wood mate

        -musa doesnt start which i thought he would..and with slimani in his chances dwell further
        -taylor doesnt start for swansea
        -parades not in the 23 man squad
        -friend not 100% starter
        -have 2 everton mids

        WC helps me atleast get in 100% starters

        views?

      Antonio has the potential to grab a goal for each assist Payet makes, plus he's MUCH cheaper. And Payet hasn't played a full game in a very long time.

      Think if you will need WC to get kun back first.

    Final tweaks, how's it looking?

    Cech (Jako)
    Valencia Baines Collins (Evans Amat)
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Antonio (Capoue)
    Ibrahimovic Costa Diamonde

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Diamonde could be the best/worst pick ever in FPL history.

      1. Steevo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Agree to an extent. Best case scenario is he keeps his place & averages c.3.5ppg (maybe ambitious). Worst case scenario is he gets dropped & I have to play one of Capoue/Evans every week. That worst case scenario is worth the risk if it enables 10 strong starting picks.

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Yeah, only problem is Capph & Diomande both run in to a good fixture chain soon. Murphy says you will pick the wrong one week in week out.

    2. aleksios

      looks ok to me

    3. Eze Really?

      Diamonde a nice gamble with not too much at stake. Good or bad remains to be seen

  27. davies

    Which one?

    A) Foster
    B) Heaton

    *** - Pickford
    Valencia - Williams - Evans - Friend - Amat
    Hazard - Ozil - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
    Ibrahimovic - Costa - Benteke

    Cheers.

    Tina are you on WC currently?

    Thinking about it, not sure. Too late?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Hey Acqua, no I'm not on as WC. To many unanswered Q's still for me that will prob be answered in next 4 or so weeks.

      Why do you want to WC?

      1. Acquafresca
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Not really sure tbh. My team is ok, but could be better.

        Lukaku or Benteke this week? Can have both by next week.

        Current team:

        Foster Jaku
        Valencia, Stones, Evans, Friend, Amat
        Haz, Firmino, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue
        Aguero, Ibra, Gray

        Aguero + Lamela > Lukaku/ Benteke + Alexis (-4)
        Next week Gray > The one I don't buy this week.

        Thoughts?

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Do the -4 I reckon. Not sure which striker though....

          1. Acquafresca
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            As dumb as it may sound.. leaning Lukaku simply based on MNF. 😐

            I remember him doing really well on the last day of the GW last season, and he just scored 2 for Belgium...

            Also gives me another week to scout Benteke/Remy/Bony/Zaza.

            1. Christina.
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 12 days ago

              All I remember was owning him vs Sunderland last year when they lost 0-3 away and Kone(2) and Pva scored.

              What put me off Lolkaku was that Everton have only scored 2 goals in last 4 games away at Sunderland and those were games that Big Sam, Di Canio, Poyet and Dick were the managers.

              Now it's Moyes.

              1. Acquafresca
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 12 days ago

                So are you predicting a low scoring game?

                All I know is that result was near the end of the season (GW37 I think, a DGW, since I somehow owned PVA for that goal and CS 😆 )

                1. Christina.
                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 12 days ago

                  Yeah, I also owned Pva. No idea, but history says it could be tight and knowing Moyes he will be up for it vs his old club.

                  I've got Barkely, so not keen on doubling up.
