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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. HurriKane

      9 years, 5 months 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.”

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

    3. Z
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

  2. La Di Da
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    a) Sanchez and Lamela
    or
    b) Ozil and Firmino

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

      B

  3. jam sandwich
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, but Defoe-Lukaku are, at least atm

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

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

    May not have either come the end of WC deadline

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

      You have a question?

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

        A or B

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

          B

  5. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

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

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not if it's just to avoid the price drop

    2. bennyp
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would

  6. Davido989

    Goooooodnight 🙂

    1. Jazz!

      Night 🙂

    2. Slam

      3 more sleeps 🙂

  7. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
      9 years, 5 months 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
    9 years, 5 months 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
      9 years, 5 months 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
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Martial to Sanchez worth a 4 point hit?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yea

  10. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

  11. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        considered it . its a recipe for disaster ttho 😉

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

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

      2. Le _ Professeur
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Any internationals left to go involving epl players?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        All done I think.

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks TM

    • Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

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

        Banned for 20 games for biting Amat?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                The one before was 10 games, the Ivan one.

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

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

    • Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Gascoigne8
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yay
        Nay
        Nay
        Nay

        Unfortunately.

        1. Gascoigne8
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          🙁

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

            Lamela has a slim chance.

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

        Probably only Sterling

    • Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Worth taking a hit ?

      A) Redmond > Ozil (-4)

      B) Lamela > Sanchez (-4)

      C) Play Redmond & Lamela - no hit

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

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

      2. GS456
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      3. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months 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.

    • HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months 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.

    • GS456
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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.

    • Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months 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
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

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

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months 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
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months 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.

    • Cantonas Demons
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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 ?

      Cheers, Thank you

        1. Frucke

          Alright, maybe swap for antonio or Mirallas!

      Which one?

      A) Sanchez, Antonio, Valencia

      Cheers

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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