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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Both will go forward.

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What keeper have you got?

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Neither if on WC. Redmond if you must.

    4. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond should be more nailed and gets more forward

    5. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond

    6. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond certainly over Bolasie

  2. v12w12
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jak or Pickford as 2nd 'keeper?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Cantonas Demons
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        True

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 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
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 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 Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 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
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pickford

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You know they signed a new keeper today?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

            Backup? Source of just a wishful owner?

            1. A.T
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 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
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

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

      2. v12w12
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers fellas

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

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

      1. v12w12
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

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

      Pickford.

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

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

      B

    2. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

    3. mr gruber
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A, not barks

  4. Sotamendi84
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Really wouldn't recommend either. Both poor.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 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
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku. Nailed attacking full back.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mazuaku for the attacking returns

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think Arbeloa should be a bonus point magnet.

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

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

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It's a tough one for sure.

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

  8. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

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

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Colonel Klink
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 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.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 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.

      • Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 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
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sadio Mane 79 is strange in my opinion.

          1. Long Juan Silva
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Aye. I wonder how they come up with them?

      • jernej93
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Best 4.5M midfielder ? Rodwell? 🙂

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

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

      • GHB
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I dont need stats. I just watch their games 🙂

            1. GHB
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

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

          • Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Why?

          • HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 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
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah for sure. Trying to fit Tekkers in my wildcard

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

          Go on Murray son

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            C'MON TIM!!

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

              🙂

        3. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

            1. Hurricane Gilbert
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

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

        4. SheBangsTheDrums
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Lamela late back into training from Argentina.

            30M Sissoko on the bench.

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

              Ahh that makes sense then!

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

        5. PussyGalore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            1 Coutinho shot 1 Firminho shot.

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

              *Firmino

          2. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

            coutinho is known to shoot from distance

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

            Lukaku. better players behind him

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

              Interesting.

        7. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

          2. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

          3. mr gruber
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            agree a lot

          4. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 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!!!

        8. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 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…
            • 9 Years

            not with my team... i can keep ozil

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

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

          1. HurriKane
            • 13 Years

          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
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years

          Is Redmond to Ozil worth a 4 point hit?

          Thanks

            • 13 Years

            yes ozil higher chance of double digit figures than redmond

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

              ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶ More hits probably

          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?

            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.

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

          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.

            Other mids are Hazard Barkley and Capoue btw.

          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

            sterling

            mirallas

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

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

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

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

          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!
