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.

    2FTs, 0.0m in the bank... Would you wildcard this lot?

    Perhaps do Alli + Aguero -> Sanchez + Costa/Lukaku on a free?

    Foster Jaku
    Shaw Stones Friend Mee Amat
    Hazard Firmino Alli Ramirez Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    1. Rainer

      I would personally. I'd keep Shaw, Haz, (maybe Firmino) & Ibra and then plan to get Kun back in with 2 FTs!

      No need to WC. As regards the transfers - not a fan of Costa - no baps and a card magnet but then Lukaku not been in great form but goals last night for Belgium might trigger that. Go with your gut.

    Ben Davies will play in place of Rose right?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

    Benteke or Defoe?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Tekkers and Bony > Defoe for me.

    2. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      D

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Either one. Both are capable, and have, mixed it up with the premium picks.

      Defoe is second highest scoring fwd in calendar year 2016 btw.

    4. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Tekkers

  4. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 17 Years

    Murray needs to break.

    1. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Some serious returns incoming

  5. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Nice little 4-1 win for my junior footy lads tonight.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Nice work.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Only conceded goal was the dreaded bobble up over the keepers shoulder...ala Tim Flowers.

        Not much you can do about that.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          How much would the 1st team beat the team you played tonight?

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 13 days ago

            Not sure. We played much, much better tonight than our first game. I'm not sure we'd have lost that playing like we did tonight.

  6. Hochoki
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    RMWCT

    Foster Jakupovic
    Shaw Williams Morgan Evans Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Redmond Capoue
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Negredo

    have 0.1m ITB. An suggestion regarding the team would be very much appreciated.

  7. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Which big hitter are you selling in gw6 to fund Aguero back in ?

    A) Ibra

    B) Sanchez/Ozil

    C) Hazard

    D) Any other ?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Out of form one

      1. HurriKane
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        What if all are in form. my thinking is Cazorla can be a viable route to arsenal attack

        With Chelsea and united we yet to have a cheap option. Hence selling Sanchez/Ozil could be the way to go

        Thoughts?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          Not sure, haven't thought about it yet. All I am hoping for is to approach gw6 with 2fts

          1. HurriKane
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 13 days ago

            Well I have to plan ahead after playing WC 😉

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Mane or Ibra most likely.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      A, preferably. Would depend on two of Benteke/Bony/Lukaku/whoever being on form though.

      If one of the other big hitters are doing worse though then they'll have to go.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Sterling & Lukaku I think?

  8. Gascoigne8
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Please choose one:

    A. Costa / Rooney / Vardy

    B. Ibra / Vardy / Iheanacho (for two week punt)

    ??

  9. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    What a match!

  10. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    So is the consensus Benteke or Lukaku? Lukaku means a double up in my Everton attack.

    1. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Have both. Lukaku if i were to chose (double up could work. if it doesnt then never touch an everton attacker again 😉 )

  11. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    I quite like the top player in that table, but he just doesn't have the FPL pedigree of Tekkers...such as it is.

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Murray going home.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Wouldn't have beaten Djokovic anyway

    As non-owners, which one player are we most worried about going without this weekend? Who'll do the most damage to OR?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Not worried but at the same time I'm not happy that I'm going without Lukaku.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Ibra

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          Rooney to the rescue 😉

      1. HurriKane
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        damn being a united fan how are you holding ?

        being a united fan myself didnt have the courage not to go without after his brace against soton

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          I'm on WC and currently without him haha. Truth is I really enjoyed his goals v Saints, despite now owning him 🙂 Love the man but not in my team atm.

          1. HurriKane
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 13 days ago

    7. HurriKane

      Liverpool mid and Costa

    8. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years

    9. mr gruber
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

    10. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Glad the Pickford news has come out now and not Saturday afternoon, that could have been disastrous on a WC!

    1. jg7u

  16. Z
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Shaw (bought at 5.5) -------> Valencia

    On WC, worth it?

  17. FPL Mentor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Heaton
    Evans Walker Williams
    Hazard Sanchez Townsend Bolasie
    Negredo Kane Ibrahimovic

    (Pickford, Shaw, Capoue, Amat)

    Hows it look?

    Good to go?

    1. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Different . Yeap good to go .

  18. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years

    Lamela to Antonio for a hit worth it?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      Nope

    2. Coldplay
      • 14 Years

      I wouldn't

    3. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      nahh lamela good chance of points if he starts.

      your bench is decent ?

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Not particularly - Maloney, Kone and Amat!

  19. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Did Rondon play/score/assist during this int break ?

    1. HurriKane
      • 14 Years

      yeap assist against argentina

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Crikey...he's got some decent returns against some good teams of late over there.

        1. HurriKane
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          is he in your team ? considered him but westbrom playing style puts him off. cant see too many goals

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            Yeah. Only because Tekkers wasn't a pick though from the off. I piggin hate WBA tbh.

  20. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Re Moyes saying he needs a back-up keeper, didn't he try to get Hart?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Wages probably an issue.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Point being, just because he has bought a keeper, it doesn't mean he is back up 😉

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          *sells Pickford* 😆

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      I'm sure he wouldn't have mind a keeper or a backup, need 2 keepers though.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        primary keeper*

        Not sure who'll be ahead between Pickford and this new lad since I have no clue who or how good he is.

    3. A.T
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      I've found the article I was on about. This is the quote from it
      Moyes said: “We have an injury to Vito Mannone, we want to give Jordan Pickford a chance to show what he can do, but we will definitely have to bring in cover or someone who can challenge Jordan.”

      http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sunderland-transfers-david-moyes-insists-11831395

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Cheers, so assumption that Mika is cover could be way off the mark

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 13 days ago

          Not according to the quote above. Fair assumption.

          1. THE Wild Rover
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 12 days ago

            "..but we will definitely have to bring in cover or someone who can challenge Jordan.”

            1. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 12 days ago

              I read the quote as it says cover or to challenge Pickford. Why would he challenge Pickford unless he is planning on starting Pickford. As clear as day for me

            2. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 12 days ago

              Confirmed when he says he wants to give Pickford a chance.

        2. A.T
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 13 days ago

          Could be. Although he does say we want to give Pickford a chance to show what he can do which to me sounds like it's his place to lose.

      2. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Nice, didn't see that. Cheers.

  21. joersherman

    The tinkering has got to stop soon...thoughts on this WC team?

    Pickford / Mandanda

    Baines / Masauka / Holebas / Evans / Kone
    Hazard / Ozil / Antonio / Firmino / Capoue
    Ibra / Lukaku / Benteke

    Thoughts on Giroud punt?
    Sterling over firmino?
    Collins nailed?
    Rondon decent shout vs benteke?

  22. Niemi
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    A) Firmino + PVA
    B) Mane + 4.5

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      B with Kone but very tight

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

        It is tight indeed, I really want both PVA and Mane.

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      PVA's stats..I love them. And Firmino is good at this football sport. A.

      Pretty good, I quite like it actually.
      GKs and defence is a little light but I think you know that.

      What makes you think Everton will start scoring all of a sudden, is it more hope?

  25. HurriKane

    Some people are looking at Caz the wrong way. Agree He's not an alternative to Alexis or Ozil

    But for 7.6 apart from Antonio i dont think there's better option with great fixtures who's on pens/setpeices

    SOT hul CHE bur SWA MID sun (planning to double up with Alexis/Caz )

  26. RohanVaswani

  28. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    I'm not quite fully up to speed with this Sunderland keeper lark.

    I assume that they've applied for special dispensation due to injuries and have been granted it as a back up keeper. Surely they wouldn't get special dispensation for a first choice keeper....that must surely be viewed that they fecked up when they had their chance in the transfer market...shouldn't it?

    Or have I got it wrong?

      I don't think it matters how good the keeper is because that can always be debatable. I believe the amount of keepers atcthe club with first team experience but don't quote me on that

      I think they did have Mika signed but it kind of went wrong at the other end so they appealed to FIFA and won? Not sure they could have got a loan etc on the grounds that they have 2 keepers anyway? They could have got a free-agent I think, or when one of the keepers is crocked get a loan.

        Ah, right...That makes more sense.

        Although you could argue that clubs risking things very late in the window with transfers are gambling on everything running smoothly...which it might not.

          Yeah, especially with keepers and current injuries etc. It's a position that can quickly deteriorate so I guess that's why they allow some room re. loans.
