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.
Last Man Standing up to 2993 qualified for GW4.
Safety scores needed after hits
GW1 = 43, GW2 = 48, GW3 = 34
Code is 18487-7273 if you pass the 3 GWs.
Profile for more details, entry closes on Saturday for rest of month
easy game
Nice start for you.
I'll get you sooner or later. 👿
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.....
Holebas to Kone and Costa to Vardy/Slimani imo
Kone, cheers will consider that....
McAuley -> Collins? Not a fan of doubling up with Foster
Costa to Vardy,
Antonio seems a good punt and you need 1 Everton defender
Cheers Cyllus, maybe Williams as have 0.5m ITB....
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?
Didnt see McCauly
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...
Defoe to Rondon and McAuley to a West Ham defender
Not a fan of Rondon (West Brom attack in general).......cheers Kante...
Holebas to Kone
Redmond to Bolasie
Defoe to Benteke or Zaza or Remy
Why loose Costa? Great form and most transfered in player atm
Probably won't now.....
Any suggestions for a mid to complete this front 8? Budget 8.6m
hazard ozil firmino Antonio xxx
rooney lukaku diomande
Capoue and upgrade strikers
capoo, upgrade diomande and swap/upgrade rooney
Sterling
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
How much do you have in the bank currently for 4th mid?
Haz/Ozil/Antonio/ Capoue/ ????
Ibra/ Betnteke/ Lukaku
plus 8.8
Could make Ozil into Sanchez. Could get Lamella etc but spreading that Aguerio cash around too much is so hard to extract again
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 🙂
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
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.
Pretty nice.. you not keen on 60% owned Ibrahimovic
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
Ibra plays for United not City
Yes that's the same thing I meant he blanks vs City and then Bou
.....
Please help
Heaton
VVD-Valencia-Friend-Evans
Hazard-Tadic-Barkley
Ibra(C)-Gray-Negredo
DDG-Fletcher-Routledge-Amat
ITB 6.3
FT 0
Do I do Routledge>Antonio or any other change ?
ITB 6.3m 😮
You need to get some of that money in your asap, so yes to Antonio
Sold Aguero for Negredo hence the 6.3. Thanks mate.
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
Cheers mate ! M skeptical bout doubling Everton attack - waitin on Lukaku. Benteke yeah hoping he can put away some crosses.
Thoughts on Alli guys? Nailed on? worth getting in on a wc?
I wouldn't as he is yet to get in form
Not yet, seems a bit off form I think.....
quick vote please guys...
A. Ozil & Costa
B. Sanchez & Benteke
thanks 🙂

Should I WC? or just sell aguero?
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
A goal is still a goal. Wont get a yellow every game
Ha, I'm not so sure, I reckon a YC is more likely than a goal every game.....plus he doesn't like baps
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.
Okay cheers Shadow.....every time I see him playing, he looks like a RC waiting to happen....
Can't argue with that 😉
😆
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
5 is better than 2 though right?
On wc,
Pickford
OR
Jakupovic
Not sure Niel, I'm in the same dilemma....gonna hope for some clues in the pressers
I think Pickford is going to keep his place.
Do you have any idea about Jakupovic ad Marshall situation?
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?
Excellent Feghouli fit. Another piece of puzzle.
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.
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
Cheers! I can sleep well now.
How much do we expect Aguero to be when we want him back in two weeks time? 12.8m?
I saw stats saying that his ownership would have to drop by a further 30% to go below 12.9 which seems highly unlikely.
I guess 12.8.
Hope 12.7
hopefully less than 12.5
12.9, not more not less...
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?
What about Collins for McAuley as you already have Foster?
Like it - keeping Redmond?
solid team well done
Will Shaw be fit for the derby?
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
I would do what you can to get one of each.
West Ham
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
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!
think you will need wc later,i would make the hit
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?
Why the love for antonio?
Form yes
But payet is back...it seems that antonio is in about 50% of teams here..
2g in last 2 games.
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.
Regretting using my WC now, I even had 2 FT ffs
naasty!
no ragrets
See a knee specialist!
Valdes/guzan
Amat/stones/McCauley/Friend/paredes
Barkley/lamela/Redmond/hazard/Fletcher
Gray/ibra/kun
2.6ITB 1 FT
Should I WC? or just sell aguero?
Thanks
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
Diamonde could be the best/worst pick ever in FPL history.
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.
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.
looks ok to me
Diamonde a nice gamble with not too much at stake. Good or bad remains to be seen
Which one?
A) Foster
B) Heaton
*** - Pickford
Valencia - Williams - Evans - Friend - Amat
Hazard - Ozil - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
Ibrahimovic - Costa - Benteke
Cheers.
toin coss..i have Foster
Tina are you on WC currently?
Thinking about it, not sure. Too late?
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?
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?
Do the -4 I reckon. Not sure which striker though....
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.
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.
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 😆 )
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.
Gtg? Just did Ramirez to Alexis and Kun to Defoe.
Foster
Shaw-McAuley-Friend
Hazard-Sanchez-Eriksen-Firmino
Zlatan-Defoe-Gray
Jakup-Hojbjerg-Amat-Stones
Which is a better pick of the two?
A.
hazard ozil firmino Antonio Snodgrass
rooney lukaku benteke
B.
hazard ozil firmino sterling Antonio
rooney lukaku diomande
B
cheers
