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.

    Own Lukaku, would you prefer Bolasie or Redmond going forward?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Both will go forward.

      1. A.T
        10 years, 2 months ago

        What keeper have you got?

      2. Twelve years a slave
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Im thinking Bolasie due to Evertons superior fixtures

        Redmond has ars SWA w ham lei

        Can we be sure Southampton will stick to Two up front away at Arsenal? There is also the new boy at Southampton could make Redmonds life difficult. The striker experiment did well in the first match, however they have not looked so convincing since. Everton on the other hand should continue to improve

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Neither if on WC. Redmond if you must.

    4. Sotamendi84
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond should be more nailed and gets more forward

    5. v12w12
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond

    6. Woy of the Wovers
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond certainly over Bolasie

  2. v12w12
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Jak or Pickford as 2nd 'keeper?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't waste your money on either, Jak if you must

      1. Cantonas Demons
        10 years, 2 months ago

        True

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      With the latest news I'm most likely going to stick with Jaku cause of the safety of the 0.1m rise. Not expecting much from either!

      1. Pasqualinho
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Marshall is a better keeper than Jaku so there's little doubt in my mind he'll be their No.1 - but Jaku might squeeze another game in. I've no idea about who's going to be No.1 for Sunderland.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Agree that nobody knows re Sunderland but Jaku deserves the place unless he shows otherwise imo, has made a great start

          1. Rainer
            10 years, 2 months ago

            This x2. Hoping Phelan keeps the faith in him cause he has looked impressive. Sunderland too is now an unknown and the 0.1m safety over a drop helps a lot too.

    3. A.T
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 2 months ago

        You know they signed a new keeper today?

        1. A.T
          10 years, 2 months ago

          The one that's back up to Pickford? Yep I had heard 🙂

          1. Rainer
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Backup? Source of just a wishful owner?

            1. A.T
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Moyes has stated he's looking to bring in a back up to Pickford. If you google it you'll find the quotes. Personally I still think it's risky but not as risky as Jakupovic

              1. Rainer
                10 years, 2 months ago

                Cheers! With it coming so late surely it'll be mentioned in the Presser so hopefully Moyes gives some insight!

      2. v12w12
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers fellas

    4. BbBb
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If you have Heaton go with Robinson (4.0) as backup

      1. v12w12
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

    5. Jersey
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford.

      If Heaton is your keeper, you might consider Paul Robinson instead.

  3. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Would you go

    A - Mane, Barkley, Zaza
    B - Lamela, Antonio, Lukaku

    Front line is:
    Hazard Sanchez xxx xxx Capoue
    Ibra Benteke xxx

    1. v12w12
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. mr gruber
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A, not barks

  4. Sotamendi84
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of bringing aguero back in gw6 what would you recommend:
    A) antonio + tadic (just 1 ft for kun)
    B) payet and tadic (2 fts for kun but loosing payet in gw6)
    Thanks

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Really wouldn't recommend either. Both poor.

    2. Sotamendi84
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I am stuck with tadic and redmond and i was thinking of taking out redmond instead of tadic due to ser pieces

  5. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    On WC which would be your Defender of choice for the next 4 - 6 GWs from West Ham

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Masuaku. Nailed attacking full back.

    2. Sotamendi84
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mazuaku for the attacking returns

    3. Davido989
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think Arbeloa should be a bonus point magnet.

  6. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone fancy Ibe to get anything at home to WBA this weekend? Not got enough FTs to get rid of him...

  7. Netley Lucas
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Has anyone figured a way of having Kun, Ibra, Haz and Sanch for Wk 6 with quite a good squad?

    1. tm245
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I had them for gw3, will try to reconstitute on my wild card for gw6.

      1. Netley Lucas
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I see, 3-5-2 and lighter at the back. Tricky isn't it?

        1. tm245
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, and figuring out how to use the Aguero money for the next two weeks is even trickier.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      10 years, 2 months ago

      All the professors of numbers say it's more impossible than complex numbers.

      1. Netley Lucas
        10 years, 2 months ago

        It's a tough one for sure.

    3. enrico.palazzo
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, snoddy as 4th mid and a 7.0 3rd

  8. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    As a season-long move--Rémy or Abel Hernandez?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Remy 100%. Going to be gold that lad IMO.

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I like that confidence. Have Zaza but might downgrade him to Hernandez after West Ham good spell and in time for Hull's good fixtures.

  9. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I have Jak and Pick. Loving the intensity. Hopefully get lucky and get 1 nailed before the other is dropped otherwise I would be happy with covering 3 GWs before sorting Heaton in there.

  10. Long Juan Silva
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I haven't played FIFA in 5 years now but I always give a look over the overalls when they're released.

    Courtois 89 is the funniest one.

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sadio Mane 79 is strange in my opinion.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Aye. I wonder how they come up with them?

  11. jernej93
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Best 4.5M midfielder ? Rodwell? 🙂

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The one who will play 90 mins every week so you've at least 2 points coming in in the week that something mad happens.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Good shout. I think he will do well under Moyes who really brought him on at Everton.

  12. GHB
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I don't need to ask why I haven't seen Negrado in many wildcard teams this week now

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I dont need stats. I just watch their games 🙂

      1. GHB
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I kind of discounted west brom game as so bad, didn't realise his stats were so poor

    2. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

    3. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      difficult fixtures comming. i think benteke and bony and defoe are better options

      just casuals picking the cheap striker ]with most points

      1. GHB
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah for sure. Trying to fit Tekkers in my wildcard

  13. KingNidge
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Go on Murray son

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 2 months ago

      C'MON TIM!!

      1. KingNidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        🙂

  14. Hurricane Gilbert
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Fear for Antonio and Costa this GW. Scary thing for non-owners.

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      get antonio. very good option atm. not too expensive like costa

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Hurrikane will do so on a WC in GW6. Currently on a -4 so will probably miss his haul this Gw.

  15. SheBangsTheDrums
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I've seen a few posts suggesting Lamela and Gaston may not start this week! Where's this info come from?

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lamela late back into training from Argentina.

      30M Sissoko on the bench.

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ahh that makes sense then!

        Do you think it's worth doing Lamela to Antonio for a hit in that case?

  16. PussyGalore
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Why so much love for firminio over coutinho...coutinhos getting all the chances no? Hes in my WC draft I think..

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1 Coutinho shot 1 Firminho shot.

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        *Firmino

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      firmino had better goal/assist ratio last season and plays more advanced

      coutinho is known to shoot from distance

  17. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I expect to pick-up Lukaku and Benteke in the next two weeks.

    Which one scores the most this week please?

    Sunderland defence doesn't look too shabby IMO.

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku. better players behind him

      1. t4thomas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting.

  18. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Mkhitaryan likely to drop to 9.1 tonight. He could provide a lovely option once bedded in.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I wanted him at 9.5, will be great for Prem when fit

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      nice spot. once he's nailed on could be a very good option

    3. mr gruber
      10 years, 2 months ago

      agree a lot

    4. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Let him fall! Can picture a DGW late on when he is 8.8 or something and golden along with Shaw/Valencia & Ibra!!!

  19. HurriKane
    10 years, 2 months ago

    When getting Kun back we have to downgrade Alexis/Ozil no ? Unless you are selling one of Hazard or Ibra.

    This is where i feel Cazorla could come in handy.. Thoughts ?

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      not with my team... i can keep ozil

  20. Tmel
    10 years, 2 months ago

    a) Kun & Redmond > Lukaku & Ozil
    b) Kun & Barkley > Lukaku & Sanchez

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Sweetboi
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. mr gruber
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B

  21. ZeBestee
    10 years, 2 months ago

    ok i did a mistake substituting without playing wildcard, if lets i play wild card will i still get the points deducted?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Make another transfer and select to play wildcard. The points hit will then be removed.

      1. ZeBestee
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ok thanks. i thought i was gone lol

    2. Twelve years a slave
      10 years, 2 months ago

      no

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      WC takes away hits.

  22. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Redmond to Ozil worth a 4 point hit?

    Thanks

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not.

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yes ozil higher chance of double digit figures than redmond

  23. flippetyflop
    10 years, 2 months ago

    For those of you Wcing this week - what is your plan to get Aguero back in???

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Save FT, use 2 to get him back for Swansea.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶ More hits probably

      2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        save ft... swap ozil for sanchez gw 6 then use 2 to get him back for spurs

        1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          sanchez for ozil **

    2. Dr Dream
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not doing.

  24. ohoracon
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Current WC team:

    Cech (Jaku)
    Azpi Valencia Collins ( Walker)(Evans)
    Haz Bojan Redmond King (Capoue)
    Ibra (C) Costa Negredo

    With money ITB for Costa -> Kun after suspension...

    Ant thoughts? Perhaps on alternative budget mids?

    1. VS10_
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I understand the idea of leaving money in the bank for a straight swap, but that midfield doesn't look too good. Would like another big hitter there. Defence a bit expensive and if you believe in stats Negredo is a bad pick.

    2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      mate, where is your mid?

  25. amsemp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Best option/most nailed on £4.5m Burnley defender - Lowton? Will Flanagan play? Or any suggestion for another £4.5m defender?

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ben Mee!

  26. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How excited are you that FPL is back this weekend? 🙂

    http://goo.gl/jRNfLl

  27. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do with 4.1 ITB after Aguero > Costa

    A) Upgrade Tadic to Sanchez (0.5 leftover)
    B) Upgrade Ibe to Ozil (0.1 leftover)

    Only a two week punt as I'll be WCing in GW6.

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Other mids are Hazard Barkley and Capoue btw.

  28. mr gruber
    10 years, 2 months ago

    WC - I think things would fall in to place if I could settle on which of these to have as my 4th / 5th mids in 352, so any views welcome to tip it...

    sterling or nolito
    and
    mirallas or bolasie

    (realistically cant have the more expensive pair although would probably be my preference). ta

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 2 months ago

      sterling

      mirallas

      tbh not a big fan of either. but could work as they've already shown

      1. mr gruber
        10 years, 2 months ago

        thanks, I find the eve good fixtures appealing I suppose.

  29. Niemi
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How nailed is Holebas? Watford have so many players around.

    1. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Tonnes of defenders but I think he's nailed at LWB. Really good option from GW6 at that price.

  30. king_jackson
    10 years, 2 months ago

    For the next two games only pick one

    Barkley
    Antonio
    Firmino
    Carzola
    Lamela

    Currently have firming but on WC. I think he'll explode if I drop him!
