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.
RMWCT
Heaton/ Robinson
Walker/Shaw/Evans/Kone/Amat
Hazard/Sanchez/ Sterling/King/Capoue
Ibra/Lukaku/Rondon
king and rondon im unsure on and defence aint exactly great
thanks!
1.3ITB
rather have redmond than king .. 6m mid playing as a first choice striker
Thoughts?
WC Team.
Foster. Pickford.
Williams. Valencia. Amat. Pieters. Holegate.
Sterling. Barkley. Hazard. Sanchez. Capone.
Zaza. Benteke. Ibra
2 FT for GW 6 -
Ibra to Kun (Kun has Swans away)
Sanchez to Mane (Sanchez has Chelsea Home, and Mane has Hull Home and great fixtures onwards)
GW 7. 1FT
Sterling to Ozil (City have Spurs away. Ozil has Burnley away.)
eerily sim to my team below!
like your moves as well
Nicely thought out
Pickford under threat?
Not sure on Zaza
good team though
Are people not keen on negredo anymore? I see his price is almost 7m but a few comments makes me think people are thinking otherwise
Underlying stats shows he's been very lucky to have scored
He's not performing well. He will be out of everyone teams very soon
Another question are people still with George friend of borough or have attentions turned elsewhere?
Plenty of other decent 4.5 defenders.
Evans.
Pieters (he is due a drop, keep an eye).
Holegate (possible OOPs and Watford's fixtures soon turns very good)
Holgate plays for Everton. You're thinking of holebas.
In my defence atm I have shaw, walker, McCauley, Kinglsey & friend - so not really sure whether to replace friend with say Pieters cause I think Stoke would concede less
happy with friend, will surely be fit now and looks a decent cheap pick
Boro's presser - 12:30
Finally we'll get some news about him.
Half of Watford's mini league have him.
Redmond -> Ozil for -4?
Or just play Redmond (ars), Capoe(wham) or Friend (CRY)?
Play Redmond
No more Pickford then. Boavista to go right in vs Everton this weekend? What say you?
http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37303147
I didn't realise they had signed their first choice keeper they was chasing. Thought it was a keeper on a free
Damnit.
Jackup it is then
Based on other quotes it looks like both keepers are fighting for the spot
Boavista is the name of the team 🙂
😀
lmao
Thoughts on this wildcard very grateful - thanks
Heaton (Jaku) - playing Heaton every game anyway
Baines Valencia Collins (Evans, Amat)
Sanchez Hazard Sterling Barkely (Capoue)
Zlatan Zaza Defoe
thanks
(0.5 in bank still to allow more room to get kun back in for sanchez plus a striker)
Very nice. Brave but like the Zaza shout. Some unsure on Collins place long term?
Honestly look set. Appreciate a look below at mine?
have done so, it looks good - not too bothered about collins as will play short term and can easily replace for another 4.5 ish when he doesn't
evans is in there as cover anyway
waste of a FT IMO
Zaza walks into the team. Glorious fixtures. Would be hard not to score - Payet back in the team too - should be chances
Collins is a risk
Consider Holegate - likely OOP and fixtures are very good after this weekend
I have same mids as you
Defoe to Benteke
Do Sanchez to Mane for GW6 (look at fixtures)
Then Sterling to Ozil
Thanks for reply to my team above BTW
Thanks for input earlier. Last ask for comments. WC-
Foster
Williams Valencia Evans*
Haz/Ozil/ Sterling/ Antonio
Lukaku/ Benteke/ Ibra
Jakop/ Kone*/ Capoue/Amat
0.6itb
* can be Friend or Pieters if they get price drops
Aguero plans
A. Sterling to 4.8 and Lukaku to Aguero (2FT's. hopefully!)
B. Sterling to 6.0, Luk to Aguero, Benteke to 6.5 (-4)
Thanks for any input
don't worry too much about future, as long as you have room to do it that's all you need - lot can change in a few weeks
team looks really nice
Thanks. Understand what you mean about the future but didnt want .5 upgrades all over defence for example, hard to get that cash back out for Kun. Thanks again
I hope Poch says something about Lamela. Currently hovering over a -4 to Ozil
Is his press conf today?
I'm thinking likewise for Antonio
Expect him to say something cryptic that gives little away tho...
Spurs news at 12:30.
Yes, very frustrating with this uncertainty. Fingers crossed he plays, should be points to be had in next two matches for Spurs
If it is today he will no doubt say that we will need to wait to see how he is on return before making a decision....so no use to us..
RMT
Heaton
Shaw Baines PVA
Sanchez Hazard(C) Antonio Bolasie
Ibrahimovic Costa Benteke
(Pickford, Evans, Capoue, Amat)
Hows it look?
Ready2Rumble?
Also have 0.2m itb so could do Evans》McAuley?
Really nice, if Bolaise gets going your on a winner.
Thanks buddy.. Think i should save the 0.2m or upgrade Evans to McAuley?
I probably would, I always feel Jevan is injury prone and McAuley is better for the odd attacking return.
I take it Costa will make way in time for Aguero.
Yep thts the plan
I am considering taking a 12 point hit rather than wildcarding. I am not convinced of any further changes yet, although I could tinker. My team looks in good shape and I am happy with my start. I can draft Aguero back in by saving my FT next GW.
Is this madness or is it a reasonable play given the potential value of the WC later in the season.
Thanks for your help
I dont mind tits and think i could justify a rare -8. -12 is WC in my opinion
* hits too!
How bad is your team rn?
WC
Madness -12=WC imho.
- 12 lol. Why cant these people play im my mini leagues
-12 is just too much for me. Would rather use wildcard in this case.
Would need to see your team but I would say madness
team as follows:-
Foster/Jaku
Baines/Valencia/Friend/Amat/Soure
Hazard/Ozil/Lamela/Antonio/Capoue
Ibra/Aguero/Gray
Thanks for the input thus far!
Heaton v. Foster game week 4?
I'm thinking its a toss of a coin no?
I'd go Heaton
foster has better fixtures in the coming weeks... unless your rotating both
Im rotating both, wanted to know who was the best bet for Gameweek 4? Also already have Evans starting so leaning on Heaton for this gameweek....
Defoe or Rondon?
Defoe all day.
This
This is my WC which I was very happy with;
Foster
Shaw - Williams - Evans
Sterling - Antonio - Ozil - Hazard
Benteke - Lukaku - Ibra
Pickford - PVA - Capoue - Amat.
However now that Sunderland have signed a new keeper I doubt that Pickford will get any minutes.. and I have 0.0 ITB.
So I'm now going to have to downgrade a player to upgrade Heaton.. Any suggestions?
needs more sanchez
don't worry about Pickford.
stick with this team if you're happy with it.
looks good
PVA to a 4.5
or
watch for Friend and Pieters to maybe drop then switch with Evans?
or just stick, play foster every week is fine too
Play Foster every week.
Or else Williams > 4.5
Gtg guys? Anything worths a hit?
Foster
Shaw-McAuley-Friend
Hazard-Sanchez-Eriksen-Firmino
Zlatan-Defoe-Gray
Jakup-Hojbjerg-Amat-Stones
no i would save with that
Foster Pick
Shaw Gibson Stones Williams Amat
Firminho Sanchez (C) Hazard Ramirez Capoue
Ibra Lukaku Inheanacho
RMWCT
solid team only Inheanacho concern if start or not
Seems like I've to post everything twice to get a response. RP
Sterling & Bentekke
OR
Snodgrass & Costa
dont be moaning, we all do 😉
sterling and tekkers for me...
Haha maybe I need to change my grav/ name to make it more mainstream/ appealing
A
easily A
a
Thanks guys 🙂
Thoughts on this Wc Attack
Hazard Payet Ozil Mane Antonio
Costa Lukaku Diomande
No Kun or Ibra
No Worries. Got a plan to get them in!!
Gw6
Costa> Zlatan (Lei Stk)
Downgrade a mid to Januzaj( CPL WBA)
Gw8
Zlatan > Kun
Payet,Mane,Lukaku,Hazard to stay Long Term
Hows my plan??
Diomande isn't nailed
Don't like it.
Make the moves now, and the team will be a better team (Barring Aguero at this stage obvs)
You mean Zlat in for Lukaku and Januzaj for Payet or Ozil?
I still have Payet love and just got him now. Never mind the price drops. Class is eternal.
A) Zaza, Sanchez, Barkley, Baines
B) Lukaku, Ozil, Antonio, Williams
Thanks!
B, by the slightest margins.
A for me
Made early transfers last night to avoid Tadic and Deulofeu drops, but they didn't.
Hope I don't regret it 🙁
I'm considering WC for this:
Foster Jaku
Valencia Stones McAuley Amat Friend
Ozil Hazard Payet Lamela Capoue
Ibra Zaza Benteke
That's 6 changes from my previous team.
Any suggestions?
Will be hard to bring Aguero back from here.
Why?
Ibra to Kun. Lamela to a 5-6m Mid.
Easy
Appreciate it and I agree
I assumed he would want both.
I do not understand what is going on with Payet.
For me, he was along with Mahrez, the player of last season. He played well for France in the Euro's so further solidifying his star potential. Ok, he came back late and subsequently got injured, but the amount of people getting rid of him is extraordinary. He played 45 minutes for France so must now be fit, his price is now £9.4 million and look at those fixtures! What is not to like.
Can you guys please tell me and give me reasons why I shouldn't get him on my WC. I understand the arguments that there are other top midfielders available, ie. the Arsenal boys to name a few, but this is a man who pretty much runs West Ham. For me he is a definite starter at the weekend and I'd rather have a player who dictates play and is involved in everything than midfielders from Arsenal and Liverpool who in my opinion will share points between them.
I am even thinking of doubling up on West Ham and start with Payet and Antonio, sheer madness? Just look at those fixtures!
Your replies would be much appreciated.
The hype has fallen just as quick as it was built.
See my team above!
My midfielder has the same 4 midfielders minus Mane at present. I've gone Costa, Negredo and Ibra up front. I'm glad people are agreeing with me. I was just looking at the amount of sales over the past week and found it staggering.
If anything West Ham look a stronger team this season so for me will score more goals than they did last season. And I would like to bet that Payet will be involved in a good majority of them.
Bugger the bandwaggon. Just got him myself.
He is a class player. And potentially worth every penny. But I am spreading the funds across my team to get at least one of each -
Ozil/Sanchez. Hazard. Sterling/Aguero. Ibra. Zaza/Antonio.
etc
A late start to the season. Hype elsewhere. But he's a class act. Ignore the hype IMO, he's a class act. One amazing free kick and everyone will be rushing around trying to fit him in.
And Watford at home at the weekend! Its Payet time!!
Mino Raiola..
- Says Jürgen Klopp isn't a good coach.
- Says Pep Guardiola has no balls.
- Says Pogba will be better than Messi.
It's like delusion is free in the red half of Manchester nowadays.
He's not exactly working for Man Utd is he
He's the agent for at least 3 or 4 of their players.
I know that mate, but United can hardly control what he says
He took a few of his players to United in the summer. And has been spouting nonsense since.
I know and I get what you're saying, he does love to spout rubbish. Just don't see what United can do about it, the only thing they possibly have done is not have signed any of the players he represents
When stupid people are rewarded with success they become more stupid. Ditto Mourinho.
he would have been a very good lawyer
Pep needs to draw the blinds before getting changed.
You'd think that United fans would sober up after the last 3 seasons. Instead they've got worse.
Some are a pleasure to talk to, honestly. But ever since Mourinho and his crew have come in, some have just become very poisonous.
Anyone know how Watford are likely to line-up with the new singing Pereya now in the team?
How will Capoue be affected? Is he likely to be more withdrawn?
Remains to be seen, most likely that Pereyra will be the furthest forward of the midfielders
Yeah this was my thinking too.
Although it doesn't ruin Capoue as a fantasy choice it certainly debts his potential if not playing right behind the two strikers as he has done this season.
Definitely, but like you say he's still worth keeping
Baines + Kone or PvA + Williams?
Baines and Kone.
Who will you be rotating Kone with?
Evans and Friend. Valencia will be other def and Amat as fodder.
Duh with Evans. Scratch friend.
I now have Baines and PVA
Anyone got a decent team with Kun and Ibra in!?
I did have but then Kün got suspended.
Don't people think Kun out makes the game a whole lot more interesting?
What are the percentage chances these players play this weekend -
Terry
Valencia
Stones
70%
70%
99%
Arsenal imo have the best double pivot in the league.
Discuss
Ramsey to destroy the hopes and dreams on the Cazorla buyers.
Too bad I'm too much of a chicken to go for Giroud
I genuinely don't see Ramsey taking Cazorla's position. Santi as class, Ramsey will fill in when needed most likely on the right wing
Too early. I'll let you know when i'm buying him 😉
Yeah I think you're right, Cazorla's distribution is unmatched.
His double footedness is what makes him so good, he's not the biggest or strongest but he can evade players with ease and pick a pass with either foot. Love watching him play, one of arsenal's most important players
Agreed.
Can't look past Matic and Kante myself. Santi is amazing, they haven't played enough together to judge them though (Xhaka and Santi)
They're both defensive though, the balance of the Arsenal pivot looks mint.
They are both defensive true. Just remains to be seen how well Xhaka will do, loves picking up bookings
Chelsea with Fabregas instead of Matic
Fab doesn't have the defensive workrate imo, Matic if he recovers his title winning form would make Kante and him formidable
neither does Cazorla
He doesn't but he's better than Fab at it, more to defending than just tackling. Losing the ball yourself holding on to it etc. Love fab but even in the title winning season Matic did a lot of his work for him so he could be freed up to focus on assisting
Xhaka's discipline is questionable. Chelsea are a good shout
Xhaka and Cazorla?
Matic and Kante stronger defensively
Dembele and Wanyama not too bad either
But you can't beat Henderson and Milner for endless headless chicken running
Kante and Gueye say hi
It will be unfair for Sunderland new keeper not to be classed as a back-up priced 4.0 but FPL know he'll start in the foreseeable future so will price him at 4.5.
Accurate?
I would say so, I think it's fair even.
nobody cares about him anyway
Might be 4.0 tbh. Mannone makes at least one SUN GK more than that
