With Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) set for a spell on the sidelines and a ban ruling Michail Antonio (£7.9m) out of Gameweek 5, many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are unexpectedly in the market for a new forward.

At the time of writing, the pair are the two most-sold forwards in FPL, but should we be selling them, and if so, who are the best replacements?

In this, our latest Fantasy Football Scout Members article, we’ll attempt to answer those questions.

      Sarr*

      Not for me geezer

      Watford’s next 2 couldn’t be better, I like it

      I think most people who have Sarr probably want to get rid of him, but will keep because of the next 2 games.

    5. WVA

      • 9 Years

      No way

    6. WVA

      Did you watch Ben v Saint's?

      No

    Quite the stat...

    13% - Manchester United have lost seven of their 11 UEFA Champions League matches under Ole Gunnar Solskjær. 13% of their total defeats in the competition have come under Solskjær (7/54), despite the Norwegian only being in charge for 4.8% of their matches (11/231). Fall.

      Loves basking in the glory, utterly clueless when things go wrong.

    United reality check confirmed

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I thought that happened Vs Southampton

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Needed this humbling, will finish 4th place this season, talks off a title challenge are laughable!

    3. Swills
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      They played with 10 men for 60 mins !

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Against Young Boys...should have been able to beat them with 9

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Ole is clueless as soon as a game goes off script. Not even sure who or what he was trying to blame in the post game interview.

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      It's not a reality check. We already know Ole's in game tactics are generally poor.

      How he thought sacrificing the midfield battle and leaving two players on the pitch who won't move about as much was a good idea is beyond me.

      Dalot > Sancho was fair enough, go back to a back 4 but surely you'll put three central midfielders in there and play pace on the counter.

      Just annoying, it's last year all over again.

  4. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Let's go Bamford!

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Hey?

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Rumours he's a hamstring injury

  5. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I brought in Lukaku last night, if anything happens to him the curse is real!

    1. One Man
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs tough fixture tho.

  6. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Bayern all over Barca

  7. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Wicked deflection

  8. ZTF
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is Dennis nailed for Watford?

  9. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is Bamford injured??

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      No?

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Talk he was caught on audio at the end of his interview that his hamstring 'pinged'

        Could be bollocks obviously

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Not bollocks I've heard it, but doesn't mean he's injured and he didn't mention it at all once the interview actually started

          1. BrockLanders
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Be incredible if him, DCL and Antonio all out

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Possibly

  10. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Alonso basically playing left winger here.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      So dangerous isn't he

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd happily buy him if he started vs the easy teams, and let Chilwell play 90 in the tough games

  11. Penang Sandman
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Man it is sad to see Sane's decline. he was really good couple years ago

    1. Swills
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Didn’t he get an assist

      1. Penang Sandman
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Stats doesnt mean that much. He can barely run and hes a winger

    2. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Sane is playing well.

  12. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    What price do you think Lingard will be at West Ham…

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      ...in January

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yep 😀

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      6.8

  13. Swills
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    WC 1or2

    1: Sanchez 4.0
    TAA Shaw Marcal Duffy Livrameto
    Salah Raph Gray Gallagher Sissoko
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    2: Sanchez 4.0
    Shaw Marcal Matip Livrameto Omo
    Salah Jota Gray Benrahma Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Any advice for either team appreciated

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      1. Looks very nice.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      1 better but with a Antonio on the bench & Gallagher at Liverpool not good team for next week

  14. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Arent Wolves traditionally better against top six? Seems to be analysis by connecting dots rather than thinking

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Alanis Morissette

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Ten thousand spoons indeed

    My Leeds fan mate said Bamford trained today, moderate intensity, full session. (I don’t think he’d lie to me)

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nice one mate

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Would you lie to us though

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I brought Bamford on last night mate haha so I’m just hoping my mate is telling me the truth!!!

  16. Fred the Red
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure what to do with my team, thinking about wild carding ahead of GW7 but this current team would possibly do with some improvements. 1 FT and 0.1 in the bank...

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Coady TAA Tsimikas Amartey
    Salah Son Raphinha Benhrahma Bissouma
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    Any thoughts or suggestions? Cheers

  17. Rainer

    It pinged for Bamford again today, his phone this time.

  18. denial

    Anyone considering Kovacic?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Khark
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Absolutley not.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        OK. That's fairly unanimous.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      For?

      1. Corona is not good 4 U
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Not me. Sorry!

        On a WC as a 5th mid

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          GW7 onwards maybe he is an option

    4. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes til Fridays WC hoping for a double rise, but doubt it.

  19. And nothing else Mata'…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Raphina or Pogba for the next 4-5 fixtures?

    1. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Pogba.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably go Pogba. Raphina hasn't impressed me at all this season, but neither have Leeds tbf. Bizarre so many are considering on WC

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I guess it’s for the same reason people are getting Wolves players.

  20. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    A) Toney -> Saint Maximin for free
    B) save

    Thank you!

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      For free, yeah. Nice Friday night fixture too

  22. -GK22-
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    DCL & Antonio

    To

    Lukaku and Pukki/Hwang -4

    1. Your Man With The Hair
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Rudiger 😮

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      What?

  24. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I think bam bam was just tired, put a big shift in, his hamstrings were cramping a little bit, I think if he’d actually ‘pinged’ a hamstring he wouldn’t be standing around doing interviews

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      And what happens next week when is more fatigued?

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        He gets to watch cbeebies with cup of warm milk ?

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Doubt he gets more fatigued against Newcastle than he does against Liverpool ?

      3. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Physiologically speaking - From that game he will have unloaded most/all of the fatigue by Friday and be ‘fresh’

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      he is certainly a risk, I wouldnt take on WC

  25. tractorjess
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with this? Or save til next week? Was hoping to keep Antonio.

    Sanchez
    Shaw Digne White
    Salah Bruno Torres Saka Bissouma
    Lukaku Toney

    Foster Antonio Tsik Amartey

  26. Your Man With The Hair
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    On a WC, I've 15.1m left for 1x mid & 1x forward and really can't decide what to do with it.
    Suggestions really appreciated.

    Sanchez
    TAA | Cancelo | Marcal
    Salah | Pogba | Raphinha | xxxx
    Lukaku | Antonio | xxxx

    (Foster, Duffy, Williams, Bissouma)

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      you could do Auba and Doucoure/Gray maybe (nearly).

  27. HD7
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Trent James Dias -
    Salah Raph Gray -
    Ronaldo Lukaku

    Steele Sissoko Livra Scarlett

    A) Marcal, Sarr/Traore
    B) Semedo, Gallagher

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B

  28. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like Greenwood is a long term go to United asset. Can’t go wrong having him at 7.5

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I think so.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Probably the best option of him Jota and Torres

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        What with KDB, Foden & firmino returning

  29. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone going Doucoure over Gray?
    If so what's the reason?

  30. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Play Rudiger or Ayling?

    1. yeahbuddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger every game without a doubt for me
