A vacuum has been left in the forwards department by Harry Kane’s (£12.6m) recent injury – and those on the Wildcard this week have the opportunity to fill it with some decent options.

In this article we assess each striker by their goal threat, creativity and fixtures to find the best trio for the season run-in.

As we’ve used members data for this, only Fantasy Football Scout members can view our analysis.

Which forwards have the best goal threat?

  1. MikeBravo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    What we do in WC week, echoes in eternity (or at least, for the rest of the season)...

  2. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling & Laca/Firm/Vardy

    or

    KDB & Aguero

    1. OzilFozzil
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      KDB Vardy, then Vardy to Aguero GW 36

  3. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Why are people going Trippier? Are we presuming Aurier is out long term and Walker Pieters not trusted?

    1. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I have so far, but still may change. Don't trust Poch not to rotate with Walker-Peters

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I’m going vert, feel like he’s more nailed

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Trippier unlikely to play vs Huddersfield imho. Looked injured and we need him fit for CL on Wed.

    3. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I’m on him at the moment. Probably foolish though.

  4. Bob Sacamano
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Any final thoughts on my low budget wildcard team would be apriciated:

    Lloris - Foster
    Dunk - Duffy - Doherty - Valery - Bennett
    Son - Eriksen (c) - Sterling - Mané - Knockaert
    Aguero - Deeney - Jimenez

    Will swap Knockaert to Deulofeu for Gw35.

    Cheers!

      Good team considering low budget, but I like your username even more 🙂

  5. Ruudy Van
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Wildcard with 5.6 ITB.
    Using the cash to get Aguero for Vardy GW 35 (dependant on Aguero champs minutes etc) and saving some money for a potential Martial to Mane.

    Lloris (Foster)
    TAA Lindelof Dunk Jonny (Valery)
    Son C Sterling Eriksen Martial (Hojberg)
    Vardy Jimenez (Deeney)

    Any thoughts?.

      1. Klein
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        We all know what missed training means. Captain them

      2. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Good news that's a Mane goal then...

  6. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Pick two to play:

    A- Dunk ( already playing Duffy)
    B- Laporte
    C- Robertson

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A & B

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      if on WC & you're getting Dunk then he's gotta play as 34 are his good doubles.

      you just want back up to bench a premium defender 🙂

      I'd bench B over C in that case

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        *other option is lose Dunk & go for a 35dgwer you like & bench him this week

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      This week a and b

  7. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Deulofeu a good option as I can bench this week?

    1. Klein
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would play vs ars

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        fear the knock he took puts him on bench this week? limited mins?

        if fit i'd def play vs ars

  8. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    How nailed is Laporte for the double?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      100%

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Good question....wondering myself with CL to come. Have him in my team now as well

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Useful!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheeky bloke started early!

  9. FPL Marc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    My attacking 8 has settled on Mane, Son, Aguero and Jimenez but I’m torn between:

    1) Eriksen (HUD) Camarasa (bur, bri) & Murray (BOU, CAR)

    2) Sterling (cry) Camarasa (bur, bri) & Murray (BOU, CAR)

    3) Eriksen (HUD) Sterling (cry) & Deeney (ARS)

    Option 3 has fewer GW34 matches but more in GW35. And next week, Deeney will be in Murray’s spot regardless. What would you choose?

    1. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Easily 3

  10. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Any chance Deeney gets rotated?

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nah

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Doubtful.

      I've seen a few say he's old & can't play 2 games in 2 days... he's 30 & he has 74hrs rest between games. I wouldn't put rotation down as a worry when picking between him & someone else

  11. mr_jones
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    No one any doubts that Poch could rest Son against Huddersfield for the two games against City?

    1. FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No they need Son in Kane's absense...

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      They could put Jimmy Greaves in v Hudd...

  12. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    How is my almost final WC team looking?? May do Vardy >> Lukaku for DGWk.

    Ryan/ Foster
    Duffy(c)/ Dunk/ Laporte/ Robbo/ Valery
    KDB/ Son/ Eriksen/ Salah/ Jota
    Jimenez/ Vardy/ Deeney

  13. BulgarianOwls
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    start JWP or Jota ?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

    2. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Jwp

  14. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    (c)ammarassa ? anybody lets go for a punt

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      1st time I've seen this, GL if you do it

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        no clear captain choice.
        Captaining Duffy goes against all the FPL ethics

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I think a Brighton clean sheet is more likely than a Camarasa goal.

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        brighton has to win , so they will attack, cardiff is comparitively attacking , i can see 2-2 or 2-1 on either side

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I disagree.
          Brighton has to avoid defeat.

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Which option for WC gw 34 and BB gw 35?

    A) Lloris, Dunk, Camarasa, KDB

    B) Ryan, Trippier, one of Redmond/JWP/Deulofeu, B Silva

    Also have Kane, Sterling, Eriksen and Son.

    1. BulgarianOwls
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

    A. Laporte, Jota, Vardy
    B. Robertson, KDB, Rashford

    1. MikeBravo

      A, just

  18. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Vertongen or Trippier?

    1. WannabeScout
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Verto starter for sure

    2. BulgarianOwls
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Lloris for me

  19. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Who scores more

    A) Camarsa(bur,bri) & Duffy(wol,tot)

    B) Deeney(ARS) & Kolas(CRY,wol)

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

    2. MikeBravo

  20. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Swap Fab to:
    A. Leno
    B. Pickford
    C. Ryan

    1. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan

    2. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      C

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Depends if you have dunk and Duffy. If you don't then Ryan. If you have both then go A

  21. moz_1983
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Is no-one considering Laca on their WCs?

    1. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Had him in, then decided not.

    2. Belgrade1976
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I am...

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Can't work out if he'll start on not. And then if he'd score away from home if he does play

    4. zLaTaN@uNiTeD
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Captaining him this week

  22. JollyGoodYellows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Worried about not having Vardy this week, could do Deeney + Lloris + Jota > Vardy + Gunn + Hojberg on my WC?

  23. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Captain:

    a) Son
    b) Erik
    c) Duffy

    1. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'm on Eriksen atm but really unsure

      I'm chasing but very nervous as could make a huge difference

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A
      B
      C

      In that order

    4. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one. I'm going Son due to higher ceiljng

  24. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    What’s more likely this week? A Kun goal or a Wolves clean sheet?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kun

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kun

  25. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    When will the scout picks be out ?
    Thanks

  26. HairlessGrealish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    WC on active and 0.3m itb. Any transfers or changes to starting XI ? 🙂

    Ryan
    TAA, Duffy, Trippier
    Mane, Sterling, Son, Eriksen
    Aguero, Rashford, Murray (C)

    Gunn, Camarasa, Valery, Doherty

    Thanks!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      What's the point in camarasa if you don't play him this week ?

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nice team mate but I'd choose Lioris over Ryan and Dunk over Tripper . Only because I'm worried Tripper doesn't start and saved for 2nd leg of CL next week. Maybe use the extra cash then to do Murray > Jiminez for dgw35.

  27. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Which to bench?

    A) TAA
    B) Jonny
    C) Luiz

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I still cannot decide on Kun v Sterling...

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I have Sterling and would rather have Aguero, but i'm not on wildcard

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kun all the way
      More nailed
      On pens
      As explosive !!

    3. NWA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I myself tend to think no city are essential to have for the last 5.
      Liverpool and spurs have better fixtures in the next 3

    4. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ended up with both thanks to Kane

  29. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I'm carrying 2.1m in the bank, with a view to going

    GW35 - Vardy to Deeney
    GW36 - Eriksen to Salah.

    That will still leave with a lot of left over cash. Was planning on bringing in some Utd players in 37 or 38, but should I reinvest the cash while still on a wild card? Can't really see anyone I'd want to change up and my team is pretty 'template' reading around here.
