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

      Set your team up to cover 35 but target either 34 or 37 to maximise dgwk players for BB, and TC in the other. Personally I always prefer BB in the earlier of the two doubles as potentially less rotation.

    2. GS456
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      like it mate. i have silva in my midfield which is where youve funded alonso from, but basically the same as me.

      up the Wildcard Template

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Really not sure about leaving firmino out of the team.. but it still looks pretty sexy to me

    4. seewhyaxe
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      nice. value seems high

  4. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan , Kennedy,but I know it's beacuse of budget
      They are OK picks just not perfect ( Fabianski )
      Great team mate

  5. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    DDG / Ryan
    Alonso / Mustafi / VDH / Lowton / Morgan
    Salah / Mahrez / Son / Silva / Willian
    Aubameyang / Firmino / Ayew

    Kane plan:
    Upgrade Auba by downgrading Willian (2FT)

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Similar team to mine,so for now GTG

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Any weaknesses?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          You have Ryan,VDH,and Firmino ,I have Fabianski Fernandez and Vardy,rest is the same,so I don't see major weaknesses

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Who is VDH?

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Van Der horn Swansea defender

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Obviously.. duuh 😀

  6. GS456
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is there a 4.5 playing newcastle defender??

    Not feeling the Fabianski/Fernandez double up

    1. Ronnies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      dummett... 4.2m

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        sounds tempting...

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yedlin 4.4

  7. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one for gw32:

    A) Miki
    B) Willian
    C) Arnie

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Leaning towards this.. but Willian has proven he can get points against any team..

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I just feel that Arnie is going to bring some points
          Only gut

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            His recent stats backs up that statement

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      C

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        His recent stats are off the roof though.. bit of a dilemma id say

  8. Skyarm
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    On WC would you rather Lingard and Valencia or Arnie and Bailly

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Well, the WC team has stayed like this for a good few days, although can't help but feel something needs to change, must be through seeing so many other teams getting some good feedback.

    Anything glaringly obvious to change here? 0.1 ITB

    DDG
    Otamendi - Alonso - Robertson
    Son - Mahrez - Salah - D.Silva - Willian
    Aubameyang - Firmino
    ________________________________
    Pope/Fabianski: Barnes/J.Ayew, Morgan, VDH

    Aware of all the 'if City wrap the league up stuff and rotation, so still undecided on Ota & D.Silva.
    Unsure between Pope & Fabianski, & Robertson also.

    Anything you definitely change for the good here? Appreciate any input.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would lose OTA and leave Silva and monitor him for next 2

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hey man! cheers. Yeah more i look at it the more i am tempted to lose Ota. For Bailly perhaps and double up on utd defence?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Also this would at least have me some Utd as not keen on Lukaku

          1. CRO KLOPP
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Mustafi or Bailly

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Oh yeah! Forgot about Mustafi, good shout.

  10. LSP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    RMWC please 🙂

    Pope Fabianski
    Christensen Bailley Mustafi Lowton Chilwell
    Son Mahrez DSilva Salah Willian
    Aubameyang Firmino Barnes

    Note: I'm 0.1 short for Morgan

  11. GS456
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pick one from each please lads

    a) Mkhi or Willian??

    b) Aub or Vardy??

    c) Mustafi or Christensen??

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        yeah this is my current 3

  12. GS456
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    de gea/smalling double up is so tempting isnt it.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If Jones stays out

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not when Jones returns it isnt

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just DeGea.
      They play at the Etihad in 33.

  13. GS456
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Like this alot

    De gea/ Fabianski

    Christensen, Smalling, Yedlin, Chilwell, Lowton

    Mkhi, Silva, Salah, Mahrez, Son

    Vardy, Lukaku, Barnes.

    If arsenal double is confirmed for 34 can go aub and mustafi back in...

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Smalling is super risky..

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah leaning back towards Mustafi

        alot depends on when arsenals fixtures gets put..

  14. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Cech, D. Silva, Firmino, Kenedy
    B) Ryan, Willian, Lukaku, King

    Have Fabianski and Kenedy/King are 5th mids.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Considering most if not all of b, but Firminio from A

  15. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Warming up to an Alonso Christensen double up wys?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso is enough I think.
      You have to cover other teams' defences.

    2. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I like it.

  16. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    DDG Fabianski
    Alonso Mustafi Fernandez Morgan Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Son D.Silva Willian
    Aubameyang Firmino ayew

    This is my team with 0.0 itb

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      That’s quite excellent

  17. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Will Ayew drop again before deadline?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe,it would be great

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Most owners will ditch him I'd expect.

  18. GS456
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Save FT in 33 is a must. 2 transfers to build for GW36 (more spurs!)

    And the free hit in between.... cant wait for these GWs

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      GW36 or GW34?

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Well im just thinking of the most efficient way to use the 34 transfers as the free hit in 35 cancels them out...

        More spurs looks essential from 36 onwards (starting with watford at home)

        but we are going to need and want alot of our original wildcard teams in 34 anyway....

        So barring injuries/form its hard to see at the minute where the 2fts can be spent.......

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          So you want more Spurs for Man City and Newcastle/Brighton?

  19. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So after reading this article I decided to give a Lukaku draft a chance.

    I decided Auba > Kaku
    And then had to be Mustafi to Naughton leaving Swans double defence and no Arsenal with those nice fixtures.
    I think it looks good but triple Swans + Ryan for a possible 34 BB 🙂
    And not of lot of Kane in options down the line.

    DeGea Ryan

    Alonso Jones Morgan Naughton Fernandez

    Salah Mahrez Son Willian A. King

    Lukakau Firminio Vardy

  20. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling or Silva

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      silva for me.. seems more fixture proof.

      cant bring myself to have no man city just yet

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Dilva

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Get Barnes as 3rd forward, if you think he's nailed, and use a transfer to ditch him for JAyew just before the double in 34?

    B) Get JAyew now, who's suspended till gw33 and can't help me from the bench if needed, but save a transfer by already having him in for dgw34?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      besides the 34 bench boost he (barnes) will likely be on my bench anyway.

      so this does seem a good idea

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        only read the first part haha

        depends if you are playing Barnes in the next 2 weeks. If not and like my he will remain on the bench then getting Ayew now seems sensible...but price drops and no forward option on the bench makes it more difficult.

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He'd be first on my bench in case any of rotated starters I plan having from Arsenal MCity Livpool..

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      b
      saw ur team the other day looks good enough to carry ayew imo

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        The rest of the bench would be Robertson Fernandez.
        Rob will be playing vs MCity 4 days later, while Swansea play at Old Trafford in 32...

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If Ayew starts after his ban of course

  22. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Number of price changes tonight predictions?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      1 up 1 down

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      None, or Sako up.

    3. aborg
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy up tonight surely

    4. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just Couts down 🙂

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      None up.
      One down maybe

    6. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn’t mind an Aguero down

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Got your wish.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Ooo nice cheers

  23. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Generally happy with my WC for now and I’ve got enough funds for Valencia over Bailly, worth the extra outlay?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Bailly or DDG and use the funds elsewhere would be better in my opinion. Could work out great as a differential though if he manages to score one or two more thunderbolts!

  24. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking of going with this for 32.

    DDG Fab
    Ota Smalling Lowton Morgan Christ
    Salah Will Mhki Silva Sterling
    Aubam Firm Barnes.
    0.9 itb

    Chasing 34 pts so I'm going different with more city cover.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah superb team.
      G2G.

      Great 2 GO.
      You'll knock em dead.

  25. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Realistically, are 34 + 37 the only viable weeks for a double?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah think so

  26. Boom Xhaka-Laca
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    DDG Fab
    Smalling Mustafi Christensen Smalling VDH
    Salah Mahrez Mkhi WIllian ???
    Auba Firmino Vardy

    On WC, how's it looking?

    Best 5.2 mid to fill that spot?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Smalling ain't that good 🙂

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Who is that defender?

    2. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years

      1. Boom Xhaka-Laca
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thinking about him too, but no double right?

  27. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this first WC draft?
    Barnes over Murray..?

    De Gea / Fabianski
    Mustafi / Christensen / Morgan / Van Der Hoorn / Lowton
    Salah / Mahrez / Son / Willian / Miki
    Auba / Firmino / Murray

    1. OO
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      maybe ayew instead of murray/barnes

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nice team, but better have a MCI mid vs Everton, instead of Son who plays away to Chelsea.
      After gw32, MCImid->Son.
      I don't like LEI defenders.

    I ssem to be seeing a lot of teams booting Pope out and instead having a Burnlet defender and Fabs as a back up keeper. So.......

    1) I Pope or Fabianski the better bench keeper to have?

    2) Is Lowton nailed for Burnley?

      Fab is nailed, Pope isn't really with Heaton now fit. Having said that it will depend when you BB and what the fixtures are. It could be that Ryan may be the best, or even McCarthy.

    I've seen so many RMTs this week and very very few have even one of Hazard, Eriksen, Sanchez, Gross or Maguire and I have all five lol.
    Just call me the FFS anti-wildcarder 🙂

        I wildcarded in 25 as I was going nowhere at the million mark. Have halved my rank since but still nothing to be excited about rank wise after a horrible season! Fun time now for the run in with punts galore 🙂

          Been a wild season absolute shocker. Desperate to break the template for some enjoyment so we may end up very similarly
