The best strikers to buy, sell and hold based on FPL goal threat from open play

With so many goals already this season, it’s all about strikers in Fantasy Premier League – but which ones should we sell, keep or buy?

We have already witnessed 103 goals over the first 28 matches of the campaign, an average of 3.68 per game. To put that into perspective, the previous Premier League record across the course of a full season was an average of 2.82 goals per game. 

With nets bulging up and down the country, it is natural to assume that the bulk of the goals will be scored by strikers and, with the new handball regulations leading to more penalties being awarded, it is only natural to favour front-men on spot kick duties.

The FPL Eye Test - Gameweek 3 3

For example, the following forwards take penalties for their respective clubs:

  1. Neal Maupay (£6.5m) – Brighton
  2. Chris Wood (£6.5m) – Burnley
  3. Richarlison (£8.0m) – Everton
  4. Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m) – Fulham
  5. Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) – Leicester City
  6. Callum Wilson (£6.4m) – Newcastle
  7. Danny Ings (£8.4m) – Southampton
  8. Harry Kane (£10.5m) – Spurs
  9. Charlie Austin/Hal Robson-Kanu (£5.4m) – West Brom
  10. Michail Antonio (£6.4m) – West Ham
  11. Raul Jimenez (£8.6m) – Wolves

CHECK OUT THE FULL PENALTY TAKERS LIST HERE

That’s a pretty large share out of the 20 teams. So, while 3-5-2 has been gaining popularity over the last few years, the number of penalty takers available at budget prices in forward positions may very well help cement the classic 3-4-3 as the preferred formation.

But do we want to be investing in strikers who rely exclusively on penalties? While there could be merit in that approach, surely we want to investing those who offer plenty of threat from open play as well.

So, let’s have a look how the league’s strikers have done so far using the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area.

          That's actually my point lads, there was nothing stopping you doing that with another 4.5, sure nobody at 4.5 plays but if this is your ideal strat then surely you've done that anyway because the upgrades players with that price saving is who you want to play all the time?

          How often is Brewster gonna start for you? Very rarely, and even rarer that you time that with him getting points

              Yes 5.5 is a larger number than 4.5 , great insight!

              Just pointing out he's not a cert to get points, and if you're saying ah he's 4.5 he enables funds then you could have done that any time really

                1) You're being a nob 2) nobody's bench plays that often in FPL but it is better if the bench plays in real life so when they are called on, you get points (even if it is 2). I don't see how after 7+ years of playing this you don't see the benefit of having a 4.5m first choice/first team playing striker

                Look at Greenwood last season, starting games at 4.5 and this season he’s priced at 7.5...
                why would a non starting 4.5 striker be the same as a starting one? The ability to play Brewster every week is what makes him a potential bargain, I can’t see what your point is

        Youre the caveat and excluded as you've already got the 4.5 tactic, so Brewster totally makes sense for you

        My comment is mainly aimed at people that haven't used that strategy and will do it just because of Brewster

        My point isn't he's bad, my point isn't that I don't understand a mostly starting 4.5 striker to upgrade elsewhere

        My question is mainly if that's your main tactic surely you've done that already anyway, does Brewster starting make that much of a difference as surely most people will be benching like 90-95% of the time?

          Well IMO, you can find good rotation options to play him for nice games and bench him for others e.g. Sheff Utd + Soton

      I wouldn't do hits for players who are not injured or if it doesn't enable you to switch an injured player.

      In your case, you can do Son to Barnes, without -4. So then I think no, don't take the hit.

      Werner could easily outscore Ings, and then you are just throwing away points.

        There’s always consequences to spending that budget though, which is what’s holding me back. I could upgrade 1 of my defenders to Trent or even Trent and Robbo, but I like playing the fixtures with defenders.

        Digne, Saiss, James, Lamptey, Mitchell

        Only Saiss is worth upgrading there imo, what do you think? I know TAA and Robbo give attacking returns but if I got them, I would never play Lamptey, who has great fixtures.
