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.

    Do we keep Pickford with Mika arriving?

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

      Well, don't plan on playing him that's for sure

    2. HurriKane

      10 years, 13 days ago

      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.”

        Tbh he's hardly likely to say much else. He's trying to build the lad up for a big performance.

    3. Z

      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yes, but Mannone will probably be back by next international break

      If you are on WC sell, if not wait and see. If you don't own him, don't buy him

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

        On WC and need a 4.0 keeper to ensure I can bring back Kun.

  2. La Di Da
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    a) Sanchez and Lamela
    or
    b) Ozil and Firmino

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      B

  3. jam sandwich
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    is this defence too sh*te:

    Heaton - Pickford
    Valencia - Evans - Kone - Souare - Amat


    allow for:

    Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
    Ibrhahimovic - Lukaku - Defoe

    1. Gianfranco Sola
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      No, but Defoe-Lukaku are, at least atm

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

    A. Shaw - bought at 5.5
    B. Valencia - rising tonight

    May not have either come the end of WC deadline

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

      You have a question?

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

        A or B

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

          B

  5. Too Mane Men
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    VVD > Baines for a -4 and avoid VVD's price drop?

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

      Not if it's just to avoid the price drop

    2. bennyp
      • 12 Years

      I would

  7. flippetyflop
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    What should I do with this mob guys?? WC??

    Foster Jaku

    Valencia Amat Stones Morgan Kone

    Hazard Townsend Redmond Firmino Capoue

    Aguero Ibra Gray

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Kun to Lukaku, Townsend or Redmond to Arsenal mid fielder. If you got 2 FTs, grand. If not I would take a -4. Gray will likely need to be addressed next week. Save your WC for either getting Kun back or further down the road.

    2. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Kun > Lukaku as you have no everton attack cover. and then id consider switching Redmond to someone as well, Townsend has the better fixtures which is why ive kept him over the saints man

  8. mos_def
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Pretty please rate my team:

    Foster - Manone
    Stones - Valencia - Amat - Friend - Pieters
    Tadic - Hazard - Townsend - Capoue - Barkley
    Ibrahimovic - Aguero - Gray

    Thinking Aguero and Tadic to Sanchez and Lukaku / Costa for a hit?

    Or should I wildcard?

    Cheers in advance

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah looks good to me! Id -4 and get sanchez and costa, very similar to my team, except ive gone for ozil

  9. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Is Martial to Sanchez worth a 4 point hit?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      yea

  10. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Sorry, repost

    A, B or C for -4?

    A) lamela --> ozil
    B) redmond --> caz
    C) firm --> sanchez

    Already using 1FT for kun --> costa (already have haza)

    1. Gianfranco Sola
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 12 days ago

      A

  11. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 13 days ago

    All this GK talk is exciting. I actually love owning Jaku and Pick. Adds a bit of excitement to my team. Will they wont they.....

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

      considered it . its a recipe for disaster ttho 😉

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

    So Jakupovic had the performance of his life against man united and he is to be dropped next game for marshall ?

    Dont think so. He has to have a lot of errors in a couple of matches on the trott to get dropped imo

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah i think he'll play as well, hes done ok!

    2. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      This is True .. I'd be very surprised to see him dropped so soon

  13. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Any internationals left to go involving epl players?

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

      All done I think.

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 13 days ago

        Thanks TM

  14. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Costa prediction:
    1. Brace at Swansea and a double rise.
    2. Sent off against Liverpool.

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

      Or not...that'd be too lucky for Arsenal. He'll get Xhaka sent off in the game after.

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

      Banned for 20 games for biting Amat?

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

        I'll take that. How much did Suarez get?

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

          Was 4 months I think, but included the Summer break if memory serves me well, and it often doesn't.

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

            Right, it happened close to the end of the season. Crazy 🙂

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

              Well it was WC v Italy, then they got shot.

              The one before was 10 games, the Ivan one.

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

                Oh yeah that was extra. And he moved to Barcelona in that time if I remember right.

  15. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Scared by the Cazorla rise at only 90 on FPLstats yday. Some tasty forwards already at 90 and now less willing to take the risk, just to gain a couple of 0.1s through second rises elsewhere

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

      Yes, I pulled the trigger on Costa>Benteke an hour ago on my WC.

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

    Need three of these four to go up in price before the weekend. What are the chances (yay or nay to each)

    A. Sterling
    B. Lamela
    C. Ibra
    D. Negredo

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

      Yay
      Nay
      Nay
      Nay

      Unfortunately.

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

        🙁

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

          Lamela has a slim chance.

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

      A. Yep
      B. Nope
      C. Super hard to call. Could explode into life on Friday as 1.4m still own Aguero
      D. Nope

    3. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Probably only Sterling

  17. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Worth taking a hit ?

    A) Redmond > Ozil (-4)

    B) Lamela > Sanchez (-4)

    C) Play Redmond & Lamela - no hit

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

      B or C, I'm hearing Lamela could be benched.

    2. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      B for me. Although ive done A, cos cant afford.

    3. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      Alright thanks, probably will do B. The only issue is it will leave me 0.1 short of doing Gray > Benteke next GW so hopefully Bony/Zaza hit the ground running.

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

    So whats the verdict on Capoue.?

    Was his preseason and fine start to the season a fluke. ?

    Asking this as i dont want to bench any more points.

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

      I only watched him in a game where he didn't score and I can say it wasn't a fluke. He's got a different role, he's definitely not a defensive mid, has corners and gets into dangerous positions.

  19. GS456
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    hows this looking lads? -4d rather than wildcard

    Cortois
    Walker, Shaw, Evans
    Barkley, Ozil, Hazard (c), Townsend
    Gray, Costa, Ibra

    Subs: Jaku, Stones, Amat, Capoue

    Would rather have had sanchez but almost impossible, priority with wildcard is to get some money out of that defence.

  20. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    is chadli going to start for wba? he doesn't really seem a pulis player

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

    When did these damned annoying international breaks start happening?...I'm sure that when I was a kid they just played a lot of internationals midweek didn't they?

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

      Yep, they played Int's midweek with no breaks.

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

        I seem to remember some long distant England manager moaning that he needed to get the players together for a while before games if we were to ever start winning things. That's working well then....

        Who was it?

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

          It's been an excuse for decades, we now seem even worse.

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

            We've always had an over inflated opinion of ourselves.

            For years and years Man United couldn't, and wouldn't, shake off the Law Best and Charlton routine. Whilst they were a fantastic team back then they actually hung over the club like a bad smell in terms of moving on...well until Fergie arrived.

            Same at Liverpool right now with their dominant team from a few decades ago..

            And so it is with England....winning that World cup on home soil really haunts us...we'd do better with a reality check instead of thinking we're at the top table.

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

              I thought '96 was okay, good spirit, decent quality and a good manager. Not quite sure how they can rekindle that kind of set-up, don't think Big Sam is the answer though.

  22. Cantonas Demons
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 13 days ago

    Well my wc has come down to this, please help me !

    (A) Heaton, Masuaku, Pieters (after drop hopefully), Puncheon.

    Or

    (B) Pickford, Collins, Amat, Lamela.

    I known there more risks with B, but is it worth it ?

    2. Fanta sea

      1. Frucke
        • 11 Years

        Alright, maybe swap for antonio or Mirallas!

    Which one?

    A) Sanchez, Antonio, Valencia

    B) Ozil, Payet, 4.5m defender

    Cheers

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 13 days ago

      A for me if no other United defender, not convinced on Antonio though.
