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?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      A???

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

      Is that your final answer?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Aye!

  2. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

  3. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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 …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Yes wait till pressers at least

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

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

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 12 days 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.

    Hi all,

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

    Thanks.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
      10 years, 12 days ago

      bout tree fiddy

  6. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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?

  7. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      10 years, 12 days 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?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 days 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
        10 years, 12 days 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™
    • 14 Years

    Best Burnley defender to own?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Costa is a good replacement

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

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

    2. Acquafresca
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 days 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
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      What might be this Lamela news of which you speak?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 12 days 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
    10 years, 12 days ago

    A. Williams - McAuley - Redmond

    B. Baines - Evans - Snodgrass

    Cost exactly the same......

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

      Williams -- Evans -- Snodgrass

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

        And save 0.5m?

        What about those Baines penos 😮

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

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

        2. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

      B for me.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
        10 years, 12 days ago

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

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

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

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

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

              agree with this

  11. MisterMaster
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I would swap Aguero out

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

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

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

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

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

      it depends on other Everton assets you may have.

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

        Barkley is only Everton i have

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          Then Keep him with upcoming fixtures.

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

    Another 0.1m rise for Holgate before deadline?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      no chance

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Doubtful only at 27% right now.

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

      Thanks both....

  14. ejaknian
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Who are the 5 penalty takers?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

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

        1. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

            Hope you're right.

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

    Snodgrass on penos?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Abel Hernandez.

      1. Jafooli

        Cheers Midwicket.....

  17. AA
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Which combo do you prefer?

    A - Payet + Bony

    B - Lanzini + Kane

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

      A just

  18. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
        • 14 Years

        There is an article dedicated to the subject if that helps

        1. Acquafresca

          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.

  19. Captain Vantastic™
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    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
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

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

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

      not as far as I know.

      1. QPR expects... glory!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        Ibrahimovic and Negredo both did between GW2 & 3

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

          That is what I mean. 2 out of hundreds.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

      Keep! (Leics fan too)

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

      Keep.

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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!

      Wait for the presser on that one..

      Antonio

    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
      10 years, 12 days 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
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 days 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
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 12 days 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      I am hoping he is *Bolasie Owner*

    3. HNI

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

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

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

  26. HNI
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    Help me Pick one that looks best

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

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      Also 1 and 3 help me have Baines over Williams

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

      2 comfortably

      1. HNI
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 days ago

        So Williams over Baines is okk?

  27. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 days ago

    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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days 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
        10 years, 12 days 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
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

      He rose 0.1 calm down.

  29. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 days 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

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

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

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