The best strikers for Sky Fantasy Football before Overhaul

Fantasy Football Scout are bringing you even more content on Sky Sports Fantasy Football this season.

Having made our way through the best goalkeepers, defenders and midfielders, we now set our sights on the strikers to target before the post-Gameweek 3 Overhaul.

Don’t forget to check out our team reveals below from two elite Sky managers, Luke Williams and Niall Murphy, who also provide some general tips on how to play the game.

BEST FORWARDS FOR SKY

Mohamed Salah (£11.9m) is currently the most-selected forward in the game at over 41%. That is no surprise given Liverpool’s fixture list, with the Egyptian a stand-out captaincy option against Norwich (a) and Burnley (H) in the first two Gameweeks. Salah is also a man of the match candidate in any fixture he plays and a prolific accumulator of shot bonus; while all those missed chances might be infuriating in FPL, there is at least the compensation of the shots on target bonus in Sky.

Diogo Jota‘s (£9.4m) impressive per 90 stats and likelihood of starting in Gameweek 1 at the very least make him an intriguing differential option to the Egyptian, meanwhile.

Harry Kane (£12.0m) is some distance behind Salah, sitting in 29% of teams. The rumours over his future persist and there are suggestions he could miss Gameweek 1 anyway due to international exertions, so perhaps he’s more one for the Overhaul in the international break or at least an early-season transfer to ponder for Wolves and Watford. Only Kane (six) hit tier 2 shots bonus more often than Salah (five) last season.

The uncertainty around Kane could lead those who want a Spurs attacker to simply go for Son Heung-min (£10.8m), save a transfer and revisit the striker situation in the Overhaul period. The Korean is currently owned by just 11.9% of managers, with his aversion to bonus points – just 16 in 2020/21 – a possible reason for that. But 17 goals and 10 assists, plus a strong pre-season and a possible ‘out of position’ tag, have put him well into the premium bracket this season.

The midfielders to target before the Sky fantasy football overhaul

Ollie Watkins‘ (£9.2m) ownership is dwindling, despite a kind run of three games for Aston Villa. A pre-season injury and the Villans’ move for Danny Ings (£9.1m) has dented his appeal, with the ex-Southampton striker perhaps now the more attractive proposition. Ings hit double figures for tier 1 shooting bonus last season but struggled to convert those to tier 2, although the extra creativity behind him at his new club could boost those totals.

New man Ivan Toney (£7.9m) is just behind Watkins in ownership terms. The Brentford forward is set to be one of the top armband options for Arsenal’s visit on Matchday 1 of Gameweek 1, a single captaincy day. Given that the unremarkable names of Jordan Ayew (£7.9m) and Michy Batshuayi (£7.7m) are at this price point, Toney’s starting cost does seem a bit of a steal given his talismanic status and fondness for a shot.

Pre-season concerns around a number of pre-season Fantasy strikers could also see Michail Antonio (£8.8m) up his ownership figure of 9.6%. West Ham welcome Leicester to the London Stadium in a single-fixture day on the Monday of Gameweek 2, while Antonio could also be the most-captained player on Matchday 3 of Gameweek 1 when the Hammers play Newcastle. He also presents a Gameweek 3 armband option at home to Crystal Palace.

The Magpies’ penalty-taker Callum Wilson (£8.7m) could be an interesting mid-price option. Wilson managed 12 goals and five assists in 23 starts over the previous campaign and while bonus points didn’t flow too often, Newcastle turned to a more attacking style towards the end of last season – something that could up his shot bonus potential.

Kelechi Iheanacho‘s (£9.1m) prospects of starting in Gameweek 1 grow dimmer by the day so for those of us who love their ‘nailed’ forwards, Patrick Bamford (£9.5m) warrants more than a mention.

Last season’s third highest-scoring forward, the Leeds man started 37 of the Whites’ 38 league games (only being benched on the final day).

He was third only to Kane and Salah for shots on target among Sky strikers in the Premier League last season.

    Do we think Manquillo is a starter at NEW?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No. Back up

    2. olly:)

      he's their best right back but Bruce has messed around with Jacob Murphy at right wing back in another system. for some reason he also rates Krafth who by all accounts of all newcastle fans I know and what i've seen of him is awful. so to answer ur question it depends on whether Bruce plays 4 atb and plays his best right back which I can't actually answer. I wouldn't be relying on him to be nailed in my team every week put it that way.

  2. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Romero priced at 5.0
    That's a decent price actually, not that I'm considering the Spuds defence just yet.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I thought it’s called price point.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      If Nuno can sort their defence, they have some fantastic options tbh.

      1. olly:)
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        this. but definitely wouldn't start with any

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Considering you can get reguillon for the same price it’s not that great really

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      never had any joy with a sp*rs defender, except Bale. But that was different.

      avoiding for fpl and personal reasons

  3. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Good to go?

    Sanchez - Foster
    TAA - Cash - White - Amartey - Omabamidele
    Salah - Bruno - Jota - Greenwood - Barnes
    Ings - Antonio - Obafemi

    Plan is -

    GW 2 - Jota or Greenwood > Gundogan
    GW 3 - Save FT
    GW 4 - Ings + Cash > Jimenez + Semedo

    Not thinking beyond that.

    Thoughts? 🙂

      Beast of a mid.

      1. pundit of punts

        Cheers

    2. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      a lot of planned transfers and 0 bench depth, any injuries or unexpected rotation and its hit central. I do like most/all of ur picks though and the structure is okay. I would just be prepared to be more flexible as its unlikely for a 3 week plan worth of transfers to fall perfectly into place.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers.

        All of Amartey, Omabamidele and Obafemi are likely starters for the foreseeable. Ings > Jimenez would give me a 0.5 to upgrade one of the defenders to 4.5

        1. olly:)
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I dont think thats totally true. Adam Armstrong from Blackburn seems to be nearing completion of a move to southampton so that rules Obafemi out. Amartey won't be nailed as soon as a defender returns which is a guessing game but i'll agree for 3 gameweeks and similar with Omabamidele he's not first choice. Ings > Jiminez I really like in GW4 as u've planned but not from the off. I would personally rather downgrade Greenwood/Barnes to be honest.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      3-5-2 from the off, yeah? I've been on 3-4-3 for the past number of weeks, but am seriously tempted to go with the former.
      Team looks good, BTW - hard to pick any holes... 😎

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate

        Pleased to hear that 🙂

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Cash to 4.5
      Oma to 4.5

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I tried that

        But no rotation look good to me.

        Amartey covers gw 2 and 3 when White will be benched.

        Then ings > Jimenez will give me 0.5m to upgrade one of the 4m defs to 4.5

    5. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Liking the Cash pick - looked really good in Villa's friendly yesterday (nice assist for the Young goal)

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Ta

  4. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Right guys, here’s my first draft. It’s only for the first 3 weeks as per usual. Feel I’ve got good cover even if the Deliveroo cheap players are benched.

    Sanchez Virginia
    Shaw TAA Tmis Ayling Amartey
    Salah Bruno Gundo Raph Baah
    Wilson Antonio Ings

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      For 3 weeks you can't go far wrong with that.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Looks great.

        Only thing that I’d change maybe is the third pool slot going to a more reliable scorer

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Hmm.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I know Virginia is a non-entity, but if it matters to you he'd be 3rd choice behind Begovic now.

      I personally don't like 2 x 4.0 defence, but may be okay to start.

      Who is Baah?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Ah thanks for the keeper heads up. Defenders only very short term and I have no idea who Baah is but I like the name.

    3. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      really like this. quite similar to my draft would say its more than g2g for 3 weeks.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah it could be. But out of 14 seasons I’ve probably wild carded during the first international break 12 times.

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      great team but Raph or barnes
      Gundo or Jota or Greenwood

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry, I’m not sure what this means.

  5. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    what do people think about saint maximum as an option? He is registered as a forward this year and costs 6.5. I am looking at a 6.5 forward besides Toney and he pops out as an option. He is a really fun player to watch, but not always efficient

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Answered your own question there. If you want a Toon, Willock's joining and he's 6m

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        fair shout, willock overperformed his xG quite a bit last season, but still got a xG90 of 0,44 according to understat. Think he might be a good option, but will he be available in GW 1? Not sure

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He’s great if you time him right, but as he’s a forward maybe just go for Willock.

    3. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      think he is a non option to be honest. even pukki + 0.5 entices me more

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        yeah, not sold on him myself. Just wanted to check if someone believed in him

    4. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      fair enough, moved some money around and got Wilson in, which is who I originally wanted... Means I have to go without Mahrez, but he always lets me down anyway

  6. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Liking the look of this:

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas
    Salah Fernandes Greenwood Barnes Raphinha
    Ings Antonio

    Subs: Foster White Ayling Obafemi

    1. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I have amartey instead of tsimikas, but otherwise identical team. So it must be good...

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Haha, hope you are right!

  7. tom66
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which 1 from Sarr, Benrahma and Mbuemo? (assuming none are a rotation risk?). Thanks!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dodgy assumption. I'm on Benrahma and he IS a rotation risk.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Benrahma

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Benrahma

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sarr sure

    5. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Benrahma but agree that the non-rotation thing is a big thing to assume and kind of important not to ignore.

    6. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mbuemo

  8. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think grealish will start againts tottenham or not?

    1. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      doubt it

    2. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd have said not. He'll get 30 mins I think

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think he will. Who else could Pep play? Edozie again?

    5. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      64 minutes exactly. You read it here first.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I’ll take that

  9. highsguy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any reasons not to go with this 3-5-2?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas (Amartey Ayling)
    Raph Salah Bruno Son Benrahma
    Antonio Toney (Obafemi)
    0.5 ITB

    Tsimikas to Veltman if he doesn't play

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It looks but I would use that 0.5m to upgrade Amartey maybe.

      Also worth considering Mahrez over Son.

  10. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best option out of these?

    A) Son & Benrahma
    B) Mahrez & Barnes
    C) Mahrez & Jota
    D) Mahrez & Wilson
    E) Ings & Jota

    With option C & D will have to get 2 x 4.0m defs (Tsimikas & Amartey)

  11. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Gundo or Barnes?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gundo.

    2. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gundo I think early on with no KDB

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gundo

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers guys, what about:

        A - Gundo, Barnes and Obafemi (3-5-2)
        B - Gundo, Brownhill and Toney (3-4-3)

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

    4. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I feel good about Gundo at least until KDB gets back. Feel like he has license to get up among the chances. Once KDB is back and Grealish is fully on board, I stop feeling so confident about Gundo's minutes and how he gets deployed.

  12. alfast1c
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Greenwood or Barnes (got Bruno)?

    Coufal (1mil ITB) or Dias?

    1. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes and Dias unless u have a plan for the money ITB i'd rather have the money on the pitch

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dias

  13. mattyb09

    2 years, 9 months ago

    With City and Chelsea destined to finish 1 & 2 this year, is it worrisome to go without any assets in the outset? Two ultra-rotating, deep clubs that are difficult to figure out currently.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I have one asset between the two of them and feel fine about that until the fixtures turn around week 7.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool + United to start with. City + Chelsea from GW7 or 8.

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Looking at the top scorers from last season, you can see that you could easily win FPL and never have a player from either.

  14. Blues for Salah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Pick one to play GW1

    1) White
    2) Amartey
    3) Tsimikas (assuming Robbo is declared out GW1)

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      3

    2. I Member

      3. Could be the only chance you get to see him play.

  15. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What do you guys think of this team if Robertsons out long term?

    Sanchez, Foster,
    TAA, Shaw, White, Tsimikas, Amartey
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Raphina, Benrahma
    Toney, Ings, 4.5

    Could potentially downgrade Ings to Wilson and upgrade to another 4.5?

  16. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A Bruno Benrahma White
    B Greenwood Mahrez Cancelo/Dias

    1. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      A. Feel like it might take a few games for City to start firing.

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best 4m defenders?

    Best 4.5m mid?

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      What a question.

    2. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Tsimikas (depends on extent of Robbo injury but gamebreaking if plays), Amartey (nailed for a few weeks until CB returns from inj)

      Brownhill, Gilmour

      1. Rog.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        +1

    3. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      In at least the short term, best 4m defenders are Tsimikas and Amartey because there's a route to playing time for decent teams. Longer term I am keeping an eye on Brandon Williams to see if he goes out on loan to a team where he will get regular play. Southampton just took on a loanee from Chelsea who might amount to something.

      Best 4.5m to me is Gilmour. Playing time and upside. At worst he's a regular 2 points a week security blanket on the end of the bench. Some early interviews suggest that the might be asked to be a bit more involved in the offense than he showed at Chelsea. I'll let some Brownhill supporter make the case for him. I'm open to be convinced as well.

  18. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    4.5m
    Taa 5m 5.5m
    Mo Bruno Barnes Gundog
    Ings Toney Antonio

    We Move.

      Gundog certain starter you think?

      1. Blues for Salah

        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        To me, yes. So many latecomers back to City camp and KDB ruled out with injury. There's a spot behind the front three with his name on it.

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Smith Rowe
    Antonio Toney

    (Steele White Ayling Obafemi)

    £5.0m ITB ready for Antonio to Kane.....am I going mad?

    Anyone considered the risk of going with 2 goalies from the same team (eg 4.5 & 4.0)? Im thinking cancelled games due to Covid. Less likely to happen going forward?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think it's pretty unlikely but you never know, I think as risks go it's a pretty small one, chances are your 4.0 won't play either way so only way to spread the risk is 2 x 4.5 from different teams

    2. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Unlikely to be any playing 4.0 GKs anyway. So even if your keeper's game is cancelled, it's unlikely your 4.0 gk would be playing.
      If you're set on 4.5 and 4.0, best to at least cover the eventuality of GK injury.

      Yeah it’s very common. That’s what I’m doing.

      If a game does get cancelled and you have no keeper it's not the end of the world.

    % chance of these three starting gw1

    A) Buendia
    B) Lukaku (assuming he signs)
    C) Sancho

    TIA

      Ings

  23. Saint Tim

    Will Tuanzebe start? Would be nice to have a nailed Villa defender at £4.5m

      No

  24. RamaJama

    Benrahma or Buendia?

    1. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Benrahma, Buendia is a doubt for gw1

    2. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Isn't there some injury doubt hovering over Buendia? Don't quote me on that, but there's been a buzz on the board.

  25. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Outside of Salah, TAA and Coufal there is probably a reason not to take these player on.
    I have 2 subs in Sarr and Dunk which ties up 2.5 mil that could be spent elsewhere and 1 mil ITB too.

    Tell me a way to spend the 3.5 on hand pls.
    Martinez
    TAA Coufal Cancelo Shaw
    Jota Salah Raphina Mahrez
    Ings Toney
    Foster/ Dunk/ Sarr/ Obafemi.
    Don't like Toney much and I will want Son by GW3

    Apparently, Southampton are bringing in Adam Armstrong. Can anyone who's seen him play for Blackburn lately comment on how good he is?.

  27. Carlton P

    Quick poll as my head is rather mashed
    1. Which Liverpool 3?
    2. Which 7.5 mid?
    3. Which 7.5 striker?
    4. Bruno + other (7.0) or Son + Mahrez

    1. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      1. TAA, Tsim, Salah
      2. Greenwood
      3. Antonio
      4. Bruno + other

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      -TAA, Salah, Jota
      - Gundo
      -Antonio
      -S&M

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        So you’ve gone Salah, Jota, Son, Mahrez and Gundo in midfield?

        1. cravencottage
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Dont have Son yet- will transfer Mahrez for him later

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      1 Salah TAA Jota
      2 Jota
      3 Antonio
      4 Son Mahrez

  28. Philosopher's Stones

    Jota or Greenwood? (*already have Salah and Bruno)

    1. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I went Greenwood to allow for 2 Liverpool spots in defence but would go jota all other things being equal

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Agree with this. Greenwood will get more minutes and probably be up front for the first game. Jota might play the first 2 but then will be a team after waiting to happen

          people thinking Norwich will be easy. Wont be surprised if Liverpool dont even win.

    Serious question
    Why no love for Sterling here - he’s not in any drafts.
    I know - rotation.
    But:
    Best team in the league; Jesus/Kun gone or on the way out; Torres and Mahrez poor last weekend; great Euros; might come back firing.
    Huge differential?

    1. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think just the fact he'd have to replace Salah or Fernandes, both of whom are way more reliable and tend to score more points?

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      People are theorising he's one of the 4 that want to leave. Played very, very little at the end of last season and Grealish has played LW more often than not before so he might be direct threat unless he's wanted to play in an 8 or 10 role.

    3. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You are far braver than I am if you're considering starting an 11.0 asset who has zero preseason minutes.

      As a City fan, I was happy to read that the club is re-opening discussions with him about a contract extension, but I don't know about leaning on him for week one. Wait for Pep's presser, but I feel like there's better places to park the money for the first week or two at least.

      I wouldn't put a ton of stock into Saturday's game unless you want to reach a general conclusion that the season is starting too soon for City to be firing on all cylinders.

      1. tricpic
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        All fair points and - yeah - he’s not in my GW1 plans. Too early. But if he settles back and there’s no Kane arrival…who knows.

    Think I've nailed it finally, any issues with the following?

    Bachmann
    White/TAA/Coufal/Dunk (Amartey)
    Son/Salah/Fernandes/Willock (Brownhill)
    Bamford/Ings (Davis)
