Is Lukaku back to his FPL best ahead of Gameweek 5?

Romelu Lukaku has the potential to complicate the plans of Fantasy Premier League managers in the coming weeks.

That’s because the Manchester United forward appears to be back to his best ahead of a run of favourable fixtures.

The Belgian’s underlying numbers have yielded three goals in as many matches so far in 2018/19, and five bonus points to boot.

When he was in form at the start of last season his ownership peaked at 60.2 percent in October, with his price at the time £0.8m higher than it is now.

So we’ve had a look at whether he’s worth including in our Fantasy squads again, especially considering he is backed by just 7.5 percent ahead of Gameweek 5.

Fantasy Football Scout members can read ahead, and also pour over Lukaku’s data in the Members Area.

    IF i want to maintain my stable rank of 60k now and then make a strong boost after WC in gw9, who is best captain from
    Hazard or
    Aguero?
    Did -4 to bring in Hazard but now tempted with Kun due to his good rest in the break

      More points equals better rank.

    Disappointingly, it seems that nearly every article is now restricted to members. I’m not after sympathy, but I don’t have a lot of disposable income.
    I’m still greatful for all your help over the last 8/9 years. I just can’t justify paying the members fee when I have people to provide for.

    Vardy or Wilson?
    Already have perreira, maddison and fraser. Any other option on 6-9 m range?

      Mitrovic.

      If you already have him then indeed, for me it’s between Wilson + Dilva or Fraser + Vardy. And I cant really choose.
