Sell Ronaldo for Lukaku in Gameweek 7? What FPL managers are thinking

866 Comments
Share

A favourable fixture swing for Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) going into Gameweek 7 has seen the Belgian attract around 175,000 new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) at the time of writing.

The Blues rise to the top of our Season Ticker for the medium term, with their next five league matches, in particular, standing out:

For those FPL bosses keen on Lukaku, how to acquire him is the next dilemma.

A ‘three premium’ set-up means that Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) wouldn’t have to be sold to accommodate the Belgian, although that would require considerable sacrifices elsewhere.

For those with space for only two heavy hitters, then it might be a case of ditching the top-scoring Fantasy asset, Mohamed Salah (£12.6m), and reallocating funds up top, or, more likely, offloading Ronaldo in a like-for-like swap.

The veteran Portuguese is the second most-sold forward of Gameweek 7 so far, with just over 100,000 transfers out at the time of writing.

We delve into the responses from both our on-site poll and Hot Topic to see what the Fantasy Football Scout community is thinking.

    Anything worth a -4 hit here? 2.6m in the bank.

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Marcal
    Salah - Jota - Gray - ESR
    Antonio - Bamford - Cr7 (c)

    Steele - Sissoko - Livra - Williams

    You would expexct UTD to bounce back vs Everton. Not sure there will be clean sheets in this game. I would not bet against Ronaldo going big GW7.

    As for who to get rid of, difficult as Lukaku has not really hit the ground running with 3 blanks in 5 matches, could not score vs a poor Spurs side. Chelsea midfield is also not creating much and Lukaku has not really been involved that much has he? With Ronaldo he is running the show at UTD. Like he is the only player on the pitch for them at this point lol.

    I have both and will see what happens GW7. I am capping Ronaldo, Soton only conceded one shot on target vs City, let's not forget that.

    0itb. How do I fit Martinez in here? Not willing to lose Ronaldo or Lukaku. Was planning on downgrading Antonio next week but am now thinking it's silly with him having the 2nd highest pts despite having negative pts one week and being suspended for another. Was thinking of moving Sarr on in a few weeks too but not too sure of doing it just yet.

      Wouldn't consider Martinez a must with those fixtures and Villa's unpredictability so far... And especially when Cash exists

      Sanchez has Arsenal and Norwich, then an easy switch to McCarthy. So you can focus that 1.0m elsewhere, right?

        Hmmm good points. I didn't even think I fancied any of the 5m Keepers but Martinez looks like he's not far off last season's form and has 4bps and 1 save point in the last 2, and I guess I just don't feel like I can rely on Brighton to not concede in their next run maybe up to GW15 apart from Norwich, while I like Villa's run up to GW13. 5.5 is a lot though. I guess I'll give it another week or two and see what happens.

I'm gonna have to take any absences on the chin, but I think I'm prepared for that in the 11+ GW run.

            Saka's stats don't remotely compare to Grealish's at the moment, and he's been historically just as bad at getting returns. Remember that Saka started vs Norwich. I simply can't trust him long term until he switches his end product up remarkably

        Thing is, I won't have that spare FT to change him for a while. So I'll just roll with it and hope that if both City attackers are benched, at least one must come on for 1 point, with D Luiz bringing 1 to 3 points

        When I pulled the WC I also had 2FTs, however, Son's injury in the IB, Ronaldo/Lukaku and other mitigating factors kind of forced my hand. Otherwise, of course, I should have looked to have made an extra transfer the week before.
