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.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A???

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is that your final answer?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aye!

  2. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    RMWCT please?

    Foster, Jaku
    Valencia, Williams, Collins, Evans, Amat
    Hazard, Ozil, Antonio, Mane, Maloney
    Ibra, Lukuka, Benteke.

    If price rises go my way (Sterling, Defoe, Costa) I'll have enough to do Collins > PVA/Mas/Stones

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like it.
      Maloney under the radar and has been impressive.

  3. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    To get what I want today i would have to take a 4 pt hit.
    Ivan/Bellerin and Pogba/Lamella.
    Do I wait until next week with the knowledge Valencia might not play leaving me vulnerable at the back?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes wait till pressers at least

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You do know that lemela could be dropped according to reports?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting Bud. I am so hooked up on Ivan atm. Maybe Kos and Erik then?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Wait and see with erekson. He not looked interested last few weeks but reports he had a new deal offered to get him up with the top earners.

  4. Nesvy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hi all,

    a/ Kun + Townsend > Costa + Sanchez (-4)
    b/ Kun > Costa/Vardy (i have Hazard)

    Thanks.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Normally not a hit but Sanchez has a good chance of nullifying it.

    % chance Mark will get Baines on WC?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      bout tree fiddy

  6. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I took my first hit (-4) of the season and this is where I am at:

    Foster
    Valencia | Kone | Friend
    Hazard (C) | Ozil | Firmino | Redmond
    Ibrahimovic | Lukaku | Gray

    Jakupovic | Capoue | Stones | Amat

    G2G?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      G2g

  7. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    tempted by a slutty I-bra-less WC since I intend to get Mkhi the moment he's nailed on at such a lovely new price

    Foster - Stryjek*
    Valencia - Baines - Evans** - Pieters - Amat
    Hazard - Alexis - Mane** - Antonio - Capoue
    Costa - Lukaku - Benteke

    *0.0% ownership
    **could also be PvA/Sterling

    makes the road to Kun a touch trickier and it's obviously a touch scary with no massively-owned-movic..

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good but as many will surely say, needs Ibra. Wouldn't feel happy being without Ibra or Kun at any stage this season

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Only had Kun week 1. Then a radical change I have none and sitting 14k. I am still scared though!

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Looks great, Stryjek aside.

      Don't fancy Williams and Heaton?

      Love the rest of your picks. What's the Kun plan?

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Also planning for life without Zlatan. Too many good midfield options now... It's Aguero or Zlatan for me, and we all know how noguero ends?!

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        haha I'm a one keeper man, Stryjek looks the least likely to fluctuate in price.

        half tempted to keep Jaku in the hopes he has a few good outings and possibly gets a sneaky extra rise before Marshall takes over

        haven't fully assessed the Kun plan yet, so this is all preliminary. it would involve selling Costa though and possibly use a hit. keeping Ibra has the benefit of an easy in to Kun while minimizing risk given his current ownership

  8. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best Burnley defender to own?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Michael Keane...but Hull are soon having good fixtures for get C.Davies.

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pope - you'll need the divine intervention.....

      thanks

  9. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Still haven't found my Aguero replacement...When will we find news about Lamela?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa is a good replacement

      1. Eskimooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Disagree , card magnet and fixtures aren't great after this week ..

    2. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Awaiting news also. I just bought him and considering shipping out for a hit... the marvels of FPL.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch. If he will miss, I might change him for a hit and keep Aguero in Bench...as he won't fall before the deadline..that's for sure.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What might be this Lamela news of which you speak?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Reports he coming back late so could be benched. He does have a full training session though which will be today so hoping spurs presser is tomorrow

  10. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A. Williams - McAuley - Redmond

    B. Baines - Evans - Snodgrass

    Cost exactly the same......

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Williams -- Evans -- Snodgrass

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        And save 0.5m?

        What about those Baines penos 😮

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Wouldn't you just hate if Everton were awarded a penalty and someone else took it? It can happen...I think the 0.5 will go a long way and During Corners Ashley Williams has a goal threat as well..

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            If Miralles stepped up to take the next one, you're right, that would destroy me 😆

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I would be concerned over Baines Pens. but then again, I have him!

    2. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B for me.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Must be B surely? Snoddy's fixtures turn much better in a few games but he might do well in any match.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking Oldo........

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He's definitely in my WC team in GW6/7/8

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Snod it......reckon I'm gonna go for it.

            Baines & Snoddy way more fun than Williams & Redmond.....

            1. zøphar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              agree with this

  11. MisterMaster
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster
    Valencia stones friend morgan
    Hazard sanchez(c) capoue firmino
    Lukaku gray

    Subs: jaku, amat, carrick, aguero

    Im thinking of just waiting for kun to come back and firmino to sterling next week

    Thoughts?? Thanks

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would swap Aguero out

  12. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Worth to take a -4 to get in Sanchez for Barkley?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not with Barks fixtures. Don't you have someone worse?

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Rest of midfield is Lamela Hazard Redmond Capoue. I can only afford Sanchez if i get transfer out Barkley otherwise i can get Ozil with any other mid

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I just would think Everton will do well over the next few fixtures.
          I would probably stick. If Lamela could have been Sanchez that would have been nice

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      it depends on other Everton assets you may have.

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Barkley is only Everton i have

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Then Keep him with upcoming fixtures.

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Another 0.1m rise for Holgate before deadline?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no chance

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Doubtful only at 27% right now.

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks both....

  14. ejaknian
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster, Heaton
    Shaw, holding, love. (McAuley,
    Amat)
    Sterling, hazard, sanchez, Barkley, (capoue)
    Ibra, lukaku, negredo

    And whom to captain? Thinking of lukaku or hazard

    Thanks buddy

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Holding and Love not exactly nailed any FT and / or money to sort it?

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Just two more days of holding off the WC button..

    However, can I get a few thoughts on this possibly WC?

    Foster.
    Valencia. Baines. PVA.
    Sanchez. Hazard. Sterling. Antonio
    Ibra. Benteke. Bony.

    Sub: Pickford. Capoue. Evans. Amat. 0.0 ITB.

    5 penalty takers. All players in good form, OOP or with excellent fixtures. Gives me lots of possibilities to play 4 at the back if there's an unfavourable fixture.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hard to say without seeing current team but that looks v nice. But if you lasted this long no point giving in now.

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who are the 5 penalty takers?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Baines, Haz, Ibra, Benteke & Bony - but some of these look speculative!

        1. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'm pretty confident they'll all be on penos

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            It changes quickly. Koeman has already mentioned there is a list at Everton with Baines/Lolkaku/Barkley on it.

            Stoke has Bojan and Arnautovic.

          2. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Hope you're right.

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Snodgrass on penos?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Abel Hernandez.

      1. Jafooli

        Cheers Midwicket.....

  17. AA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo do you prefer?

    A - Payet + Bony

    B - Lanzini + Kane

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A just

  18. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone looked into stats for Alexis vs Ozil ?

    Of course I'd rather Alexis and he's more explosive, but Ozil usually ticks on nicely with assists, baps, and the odd goal.

    The only reason is while tinkering Ozil over Alexis makes it much easier to get Aguero back in GW6.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      At the same time I could always get Alexis, WC in GW6 and swap to Ozil if he looks the better buy..

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        There is an article dedicated to the subject if that helps

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Do you have a link ol' pal Cheese?

          & if it's a members article I'll be left wanting as I have yet to renew my membership this season.

              Yeah I heard. Was reading Mark's explanation on his collaboration with FPL.

              Sad times.. but understandable from Mark's perspective.

    Final WC team

    Foster

    Valencia - McAuley - Baines

    Hazard - Antonio - Sanchez - Barkley

    Ibrahimovic - Negredo - Banteke

    Subs: Jakupovic Capoue Mee Amat

    1.6M in the bank to upgrade to Sterling if necessary or Benteke to Lukaku even.
    Thoughts?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Negredo (2 shots in 3 games) -> Defoe /Bony etc.

    2. ejaknian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Foster, Jakupovic
      Shaw, holding, love. McAuley,
      Amat
      Sterling, hazard, sanchez, capoue, Barkley
      Ibra, lukaku, negredo

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Will there be any 0.2m risers during this period?

    In fact has a player had a 0.2m rise in a GW this season?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      not as far as I know.

      1. QPR expects... glory!
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ibrahimovic and Negredo both did between GW2 & 3

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That is what I mean. 2 out of hundreds.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I fact. How many +.3 risers over the total period? Lots of WC's so that impacts also.

    3. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Doubt it. Maybe this Gw would be Sterling, Hazard, Costa, Capoue

      Am curious to know if there is a 0.1 rise when you sell it does it round to 0.5 or nothing. Thats why 0.2 is the rise everyone looking for to bank the 0.1 profit

  21. bebe_ftw
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    need some opinions: Firmino (LEI). keep or sell for -4?

    my shortlist for replacement are: Cazorla (SOU) / Antonio (WAT) / Sterling (mun).

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Keep! (Leics fan too)

    2. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Keep.

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster
    Valencia - Souare - Amat
    Capoue
    Ibra

    After WC, is all that remain from my original team.......

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years

      show us the rest...you tease!

      Take it off! Take it off!

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Jaku/Pickford
        Baines/Williams - Evans/McAuley
        Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Snoddy/Redmond
        Costa - Defoe

      Wait for the presser on that one..

    Is this new Sunderland keeper likely to be first choice? 🙁

      Who knows?! Doesn't look like Pickford is a sensible inve stment though. Wait and see is the order of the day I suppose.

    Bolasie a decent shout if I have no other Everton attack?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's never been a good FPL option. Terrible stats, terrible at shooting. I'd strongly consider avoiding unless he hits some form.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I don't agree with you...I had him when he scored a hat-trick 2 season's back and helped me get a great rank..

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          None of the sub 7 mids are appealing. Lanzini is my pick for now but apparently he isn't nailed on. Bola might be the next best

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I am hoping he is *Bolasie Owner*

    3. HNI

      Very erratic like Mane..SO if you patient types keep him

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nah. I'm more 3 games no returns your out kind of guy

  26. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Help me Pick one that looks best

    1) Antonio + Barkley + Rondon
    2) Antonio + Sterling + Benteke
    3) Sterling + Puncheon + Benteke

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Also 1 and 3 help me have Baines over Williams

    2. Eskimooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      2 comfortably

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        So Williams over Baines is okk?

  27. ChristoBisto

    The bandwagon is firmly on Antonio over Barkley huh? I could switch as on WC but I bet if I did Barkley would troll me. He still looked good despite points last game. I'm going to swim against the bandwagon and stick!

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I am trying to fit both but then will have to go with a 6.5mn fwd like Rondon...Or benteke worth ignoring one of them?

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I don't know but I'm going 4-4-2 until Kun is back with Diomande as 3rd forward. Don't fancy getting Rondon at all but yes if you had both of those that would some choosing. You presumably wouldn't have a heavy hitter like Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling in that case though

        1. HNI
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I will have a midfield of Sanchez + Hazard + Capoue + Barkley + Antonio...Can you help me with my query above?

          1. ChristoBisto
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Can you not do Sterling, Barkley, Benteke? Personally I want to see more from Benteke before picking him.

    DAMN MISSED THE PRICE RISE FOR OZIL YDAY...have to pick heaton & evans over foster & mcauley now in order to make up for that 0.2m......

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He rose 0.1 calm down.

  29. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    After my moves for (-4) I'll be tight on cash to do Gray > Benteke next week.

    0.1 wiggle room.
    Benteke 88.6% to rise
    Gray 50.7% to drop

    Here's hoping 😐

    Something will surely go wrong.

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Surprise you not playing WC...will help you boost in future though

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years

      Get Benteke Saturday after his game. Might be lucky and save 0.1m. If he gets any attacking returns his price will rocket.
