Monitor – Romelu Lukaku

After starting our series of members’ articles on Wildcard targets with a look at Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, our sights turn to another in-demand frontman.

With Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero currently nursing injuries, Romelu Lukaku’s recent resurgence has not gone unnoticed by Fantasy Premier League managers.

Three goals and a pair of assists in the last five Gameweeks, allied with a trio of strikes over four cup outings in the same timeframe, means that the Man United striker is the second most bought player in FPL ahead of Gameweek 32.

Following a barren autumn period, Lukaku seems to have stepped up his output following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez.

With two double Gameweeks anticipated for the Red Devils, can the Belgian claim a place in our frontlines for the run-in?

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Hen doesn't double, Robertson could rotate around CL, Fuchs can muck Chilwell up, even Firmino can be rested around CL.

      Ryan has quite poor fixtures outside Gw34, fabs rotates better with DDG

        Having said that, I'm likely going Ryan and a Swansea defender.

          Maybe 33 too, although Ryan arguably has the best fixture of the three that week

      Steer clear.. too much rotation in uniteds front bar Lukaku and Alexis.. Even the latter might get rotated due to his recent form
