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.

    So Hazard has snuck ahead of Alexis in the captains poll...

    Was leaning toward him anyway.

    Time for some sleep, enough rambling. Goodnight

    2. Lord Flashheart

      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      i guess penalties sway it

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

      Baines Tekkers to Williams Lukaku?

      1. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed

    how to improve this front 8 with 1.1 ITB

    Mane Hazard Sanchez Sterling Capoue
    Rooney Lukaku Benteke

    firmino better option than mane?

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

      I'd go with mane. Looks good

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

      Mane for sure

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

    RP. Pick any one-
    A.
    Baines
    Sterling Lanzini (Leko)
    Lukaku Benteke

    B.
    Williams
    Antonio Januzaj (Capoue)
    Lukaku Costa

    C.
    Baines
    Sterling Bolasie (Rodwell)
    Costa Zaza

    1. xtremesid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B but it would be great to get in sterling as well. Not keen on Zaza as of now.

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

        Want Sterling and Costa but not sure about Zaza as well :/

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

      B

  6. Lord Flashheart

    will it be possible to listen to the scoutcast in a podcast form this week on a normal timing and night friday night/saturday morning?

  7. danishdynamite
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    One day to finalise my WC and it's come to this

    Benteke vs Bony

    I was all set for Bony but I'm getting the heebie jeebie's - what say y'all ??

    1. xtremesid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I wud go for Benteke out of those 2

    2. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Neither. Defoe.

    3. pax888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Tekkers.

      Definitely on pens now which makes all the difference this season.

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

      Bony for me. Used to the lone striker role, plus Benteke will be sharing points with Remy.

    5. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks chaps

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Tekkers

  8. wormface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Good morning all.
    Now don't bite my head off.
    But there's definitely a herd mentality thinking Ibrahim is essential ( me included )
    But I'm seriously thinking of going without.
    Probably safest to wait as United have 3 home in next 4 and the away game is watford.
    Or maybe not

    1. Hubert
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      212 goals in 171 club games since 2009-10.

      Ignore at your peril.

  9. xtremesid
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Collins or Masuaku? Who is nailed/better buy for a long run ?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku

    2. pax888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku as could see Collins getting dropped eventually.

      Maybe Arbeloa over both of them

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku

    4. xtremesid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks all that helped resolve the doubt 🙂

  10. samaael
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    is it just subjective anti-pulis bias deflecting rondon popularity?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Think they rely on long balls and set pieces

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      on a scale of 1 to 10, how crazy is it to not have Ibra on my wc?

  11. Net Gains
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What's happening with any possible Andre Gray ban???

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Gray safe for next game - the one after not so sure

  12. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I need to make a decision asap before price changes
    Who do i bring out for Aguero

    i) Kane
    ii) Lukaku (Got Mirallas)

    No WC

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      ii

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

      ii

      Kane will at some point get off the ground, but Luka has some solid fixtures and just scored 2 in internationals. I fancy him to score this week.

    3. xtremesid
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku. But personally I wud not want to double Everton attack. If I may suggest, go for Costa if you don't have Hazard already

  13. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku and Antonio

    OR

    Bony and Barkley

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      A easily

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A by 8 miles

  14. samaael
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Collins nailed on for the foreseeable future?

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

      I'd much rather Pieters or Kone.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

    3. pax888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No I've gone Francis he's captain so will never get dropped.

  15. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.5m defender who doesn't play for wbo?

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

      Think the general consensus is one of the following:

      Kone - Holebas - Friend/Chambers - Souare - Pieters?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Pretty much. Holebas is an interesting one with Watfords system..

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

          Yeah, possibly OOP?

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yep, quite advanced as a LWB

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pieters of Stoke, Francis/Smith. Don't expect much just get someone nailed on imo.

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

        or Kone imo.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I have no confidence in Sunderland keeping clean sheets

    3. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Holebas pieters kone friend francis

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Holebas. Oop and glorious upcoming fixtures

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

        Nailed?

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

    Who is going for Baines?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Prefered him over Williams but needed the extra 0.5

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

        Doing Redmond > Snodgrass would get me the required cash. What you reckon?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. That way you're bringing in two players on set pieces too!

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

      Really want him but him over Baines would mean a non playing 5th mid. Worth it in your opinion?

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No

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

          Still on Zaza WTH?

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Me. I've squeezed the extra .5m

    4. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      In my wc team

  17. lasmons
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any changes needen on this WC lot?

    Heaton - Robinson
    Shaw - Williams - Collins - Evans - Amat
    Hazard - Ozil - Sterling - Firmino - Capoue
    Bony - Tekkers - Ibra.

    0.4 ITB. Doing Ibra + Sterling -> Kun +

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Swap Collins with a nailed 4.5

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Quick RMT

    Foster
    McAuley Williams Valencia
    Hazard(C) Lamela Ozil Sanchez(vc)
    Ibra Defoe Benteke.

    Pickford, Capoue, Pieters, Amat.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nice, unsure on double ARS mid but guess when Aguero back that changes?
      All good

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, and yes it'll change: Sanchez Benteke > Fer Aguero.

  19. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Have I not really thought the Captain choice through?

    I saw the fixtures and straight off put it on Ibra. Seeing the popularity of the Haz pick now has me questioning.
    No right answer but thought Ibra would just be shading it.
    (dont own Sanchez, he would be C if i did)

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How do you select Ibra for the fixtures?

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard this week

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ibra? Why?

  21. wander
    • 10 Years

    what is the timeframe on a return for lloris

  22. Prøphet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What do people think of Puncheon as 4th mid? (Hard to stretch to Antonio)

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

      Would rather stretch to Bolasie personally.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's okay for the price bracket

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lanzini?

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

        Not sure if he is nailed on, thats the issue

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

        lanzini not nailes on

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Have you got benteke up front?

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

        Trying to decide on him or Bony i believe

    5. Hasselbaink Forever
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Decent, then switch to Snodgrass GW8

  23. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Ozil or Cazorla?

    Tempted by Cazorla as he is on pens & set pieces.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ozil

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

      Sanchez
      Ozil
      Cazorla in that order.

  24. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like Pieters will simply not drop before the weekend. Will have to change my plan a little now.

    Does this defensive line up looks ok?

    Heaton. Pickford.
    Baines. Valencia. Holegate. Evans. Amat.

    Previously.
    Foster. Pickford.
    Baines. Valencia. Holegate. Pieters. Amat

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Willing Pieters and Friend on too! Dont give up, many will log on Friday and sort their team then. fingers crossed

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Perhaps.
        Fingers crossed.

  25. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    on a scale of 1 to 10, how crazy is it to not have Ibra on my wc?

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

      8

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Borderline insanity

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        so there is a border? and i almost crossed it but didnt? hmmm 🙂

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          You'll cross the border when you officially don't have him after your WC 😉

          In all seriousness he's going to be the top scorer in a team pushing for the league. On pens too. Must have!

    3. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      10.

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      5

      I'm only using ibra as a placeholder for Aguero at the very least

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

    If Feghouli is deemed fit in the Presser, would you pick him or Snoddy? or Both?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      unlikely to be a strater

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would feghouli put Antonio game time at risk.

      Or vice versa

    Hi there.

    Team value issue here regarding WC. I want to sub out Tadic and Aguero for Sanchez and a striker, using WC to get the Kun back in.

    Howewer. Ibe, Friend, Pieters and Moreno (yeah, laugh all you like), are all somewhat close to going down in price, which could ruin my WC value later.

    Should I WC now and just plan for 2-3 transfers in two weeks time as a method for getting the Kun back in? Will have to take a hit either this week or gw6/7.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years

          I know, and im transferring him out this week no matter what. Question is if that is to be part of wc or not. Cant really pick a side that im happy with, and i dont like using wc to get a team that looks only half decent.

      Had similar situation with dropping or poor players
      Tadic
      Erikssen
      Shaw (wanted Valencia)
      Stones
      Ramirez
      Friend
      Aguero
      Gray
      Did WC to get better players (no WH or ARS), stop losing value. Have a 2 move plan to get Aguero back imo

      It depends how much you value 'team value'...personally, I think GW6 is the ideal time to WC...

        I honestly dont value it that much, but if postponing wildcard 2-3 weeks cost me 0,4 value then that is quite a lot.

        And I agree, wc gw6 looks very good. Trying to not pull the trigger now
