The Watchlist Updated – Forwards

Having assessed the updated Watchlist rankings for Goalkeepers, Defenders and Midfielders, we end our four-part series by checking in on the current landscape up front .

The Watchlist rankings can be found in your sidebar on desktop, or via your slide-in menu on mobile or tablet.

These highlight our current take on player selection for each position, listing the factors behind each player’s given rank.

Harry Kane remains unchallenged at the summit, despite enduring a hugely disappointing double Gameweek 22.

Although his captaincy credentials continue to frustrate (he’s blanked in 12 of 21 appearances) the Spurs striker’s penchant for explosive points hauls is second to none – he’s scored at least twice on seven occasions.

The underlying numbers showcase Kane’s continued potential. Not only has he scored at least double the number of goals (six) than any Fantasy Premier League (FPL) forward over the last four Gameweeks, he also leads the way for shots (24), efforts in the box (17) and attempts on target (10).

Granted, Mauricio Pochettino’s men face three tough fixtures in the upcoming six (EVE sot MUN liv ARS cry), yet Kane’s ability to deliver in big matches against rivals keeps him ahead of the chasing pack.

An injury to Gabriel Jesus has eased concerns over the pitch-time of Sergio Aguero.

With the Brazilian sidelined for a reported four-to-six weeks, his fellow frontman can benefit from three very favourable home matches (NEW WBA LEI) over that period.

However, trips to Liverpool, Burnley and Arsenal are a little more testing and those already holding Man City midfielder Raheem Sterling may be reluctant to double-up with the 11.7-priced Aguero.

Nonetheless, he has also fired more shots (67), efforts in the box (57) and attempts on target (28) than any team-mate, despite starting just 15 of their opening 22 matches.

Aguero’s average of 6.5 points per match is more than Kane’s 6.4 at the top of the forward standings, with the Argentine second only to the Spurs man for transfers in this Gameweek after netting twice against Burnley in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Roberto Firmino goes head to head with Aguero at Anfield next weekend and also faces a visit from Spurs in Gameweek 26.

While those clashes could curtail his recent momentum, Liverpool offer five favourable encounters (swa hud sot WHU NEW) between now and Gameweek 29 that may persuade many to invest in Jurgen Klopp’s attack.

That schedule, allied with his current form, means that Firmino remains high up in our latest rankings – over his last six starts, he’s delivered six goals, two assists and four sets of double-digit returns.

A double-up with Mohamed Salah looks a very viable option once the Man City match has passed, though it remains to be seen just how Liverpool regroup following the departure of playmaker Philipp Coutinho.

Furthermore, we are still waiting on the FA’s verdict on Firmino’s exchange with Mason Holgate on Friday night, with a possible charge and suspension looming.

Glenn Murray is our preferred budget striker as Brighton prepare for five favourable fixtures (wba sot WHU stk SWA) in the next six.

The veteran’s pitch-time has been managed over the festive period, with just three starts in the last six, yet with the schedule now easing, we expect his minutes to improve.

Crucially, Murray tends to favour playing sides in the lower reaches of the table. He has scored five of his six goals against teams in the bottom six, with four of his strikes arriving against his upcoming five opponents. He also impressed against Palace on Monday night, emerging from the bench to fire a late FA Cup winner.

Yet with Pascal Gross very similarly priced (5.9 to Murray’s 5.7), there’s an obvious alternative in the Seagulls’ midfield.

Alvaro Morata and Alexandre Lacazette present us with the classic “form vs fixtures” scenario.

Unfortunately for their loyal owners, it is form that both players are lacking. Morata has two goals in seven and missed three gilt-edged opportunities to find the net at the Emirates last time out, while Lacazette has failed to score since Gameweek 15.

Chelsea’s upcoming five (LEI bha BOU wat WBA) could yet bring Morata back into consideration, though it’s fair to say that a return to 3-5-1-1 against the Gunners saw him overshadowed by Eden Hazard, who revelled in a central role once again.

However, with an array of alternatives in our midfields, with strong value on offer, Morata offers coverage of Chelsea’s attacking potential. Despite recent form, he has still been involved in – scored or assisted – 47% of the Blues goals when on the pitch this season, a statistic that betters Hazard’s 43%.

The next four Gameweeks (bou CRY swa EVE) offers Lacazette a reason for optimism, though a price of 10.3 remains prohibitive – particularly if Aaron Ramsey (6.9) can recover from injury and offer an option in the Gunners’ midfield.

Romelu Lukaku could yet become a factor in our seasons once again, though the astonishing recent form of Jesse Lingard as a mid-price midfield option has severely dented any chance of a revival for now. Lukaku’s strike in the FA Cup victory over Derby County perhaps hints at a renaissance and Monday’s Old Trafford clash with lowly Stoke City is an ideal platform to build on that goal.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy has four kind home matches (WAT SWA STK BOU) twinned with a trio of testing road trips as Leicester make their way to Chelsea, Everton and Man City in the next seven.

Yet with concerns over his form and fitness, the Foxes frontman has suffered more FPL sales than any striker ahead of the visit to Stamford Bridge.

Vardy’s stock suffers as a result of his identically priced team-mate Riyad Mahrez (8.6) in midfield. Over the last nine Gameweeks, the Algerian has blanked just once and bettered Vardy for both goals (five to three) and assists (four to one).

Setting you back the same as Seagulls’ frontman Murray, Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson has found the net in two of the last three Gameweeks, scoring against West Ham and Brighton.

Trips to the Hammers and Huddersfield, in addition to home clashes with Stoke and Newcastle in the next six hands him the opportunity to stake a claim as a compelling budget candidate.

Similar to Leicester’s Vardy, Jay Rodriguez has a run of eye-catching home fixtures (BHA SOT HUD), though his appeal is dented by visits for Everton, Man City and Chelsea.

Having fired more shots on target (nine) than any team-mate since the arrival of Alan Pardew, Rodriguez – who could now be assigned spot-kick duties – could be another cut-price option at a mere 5.5. He converted a penalty against Arsenal in Gameweek 21 and was also among the goals in the weekend FA Cup win over Exeter.

Overall, the forward position remains a trouble spot in FPL squads, compounded by the points and value being generated by midfield options.

Both Kane and Aguero are now front-runners in the premium bracket, though we are lacking a convincing third striker option in the mid-price or budget price points.

Everton’s Cenk Tosun could yet be that missing link and unlock the option to revert back to a 3-4-3 with confidence.

As it stands, the strategy of two heavy-hitters, alongside a cut-price bench-warming third forward appears to be the most favourable route to explore.

      Not even Jack Bauer could save them, though they may end up on 24 points.

        Very good.

      Bit strange signing someone whose club doesn't have a permanent manager.

        The deal was done long before Sparkys departure i think the lad had already done his medical at Stoke last week.

        Glen Johnson needs replacing he did not work out for Stoke unsurprisingly.

  1. The Alli Way
    • 7 Years

    Which move, A or B for next week?

    Lloris (Elliot)
    Azpi Otamendi Mee (Ogbonna (Duffy))
    Salah Eriksen Sterling Lingard RLC
    Kane Firmino (DCL)

    A) Firmino > Aguero & Eriksen > Arnautovic
    B) DCL > Quaner & Eriksen > KDB

    In other words, KDB & Firmino or Aguero & Arnautovic?

    Thanks 🙂

    It's my 1st season playing fpl what overall rank should I be aiming to achieve and what were your own goal or in your 1st season? Thanks

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      aim was top 10k, finished higher (550) due to some Kane luck at end of season.....humble brag

    2. The Son Haz got Atsu on
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      high as possible, there's no separate trophy for beginners

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Top 100k would be very respectable for a first outing.

      I suppose my first goal and probably still my most important goal in fpl is to get the better of my mates to have the local bragging rights.

    4. Jaunty Jonty
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Top 100k is about right

    5. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Top 500k is acceptable, top 100k is good.

      I've played since 2009-10 but the first season I really started planning in depth was 2015-16 where I was incredibly lucky and went with Leicester from the start and finished about 7k. Last year 50k.

    6. Alex_thekid
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'm currently at 60k and I am aiming for 25k and under

        Impressive start mate. In my first 'proper' season, (when i wasn't just a teenager who picked a team and left it) I was 44k haven't topped that since. Best of luck!

    7. JJJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      top 100 K is great for first season.
      mini leagues and bragging rights over others you know is the first thing to aim for though.

      my 1st season- 500k
      2nd 50 k
      currently 3K

    8. kennethrhcp

      my aim each year is win mini league & break top 100k... your question led me to look up my history. been playing since 2006 & only finished outside 100k once 🙂 very happy with that!

          Remember that a top 30k finish is a lot better this season than 08/09, as there are many more players and a lot more taking it seriously as well + the rise of sites like this one.

          100k could be a goal. It's doable in a 1st season and the fact you're already on this site means you probably take it seriously and look for information on players. I just missed out of 100k in my first season, but was still proud of it in the end. Most important is acknowledging what you could have done better and you learn from your mistakes. Which everyone makes in their first season. But have fun while making them!

        • the snazzy viking
          • 8 Years

          Everyone saying top 100k

          I finished top 131k last season and if I hadn't done that silly Alonso to Daniels move for a hit before his 21 point haul then I would've got top 100k in my first season

          But I was still very happy with my rank.

          I think if you get in the top 300k with your first season you should be proud of yourself

          I'm playing 'properly' for the first time. I've played casually some other years but could go months without checking my team. So I'm familiar with the game mechanics etc so not a total beginner. Delighted to be on 4K atm, I'd be delighted if I managed to stay in the Top 10K by the end of the season.

          Well - Aguero

        5. TallestJohn
          • 7 Years

          Kun at the moment but need to see how Sanchez affects the attack.

        6. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Easy. If you don't have Kev, go Kun for a shot in the arm. If you have Kev, keep Kev.
          Simply there are good midfield alternatives, there are no good alternatives right now bar Kane and he has crud fixtures.

      5. Jaunty Jonty
        • 13 Years

        RIGHT
        How am I gonna get Aguero into this lot?

        Adrian / Elliot
        Tarkowski / Jones / Otamendi / Ogbonna / Dunk
        Sterling / Salah / Hazard / Richarlison / RLC
        Kane / Morata / DCL
        0.1 ITB

        A
        Hazard -> Lingard AND
        Morata -> Aguero

        OR

        B
        Richarlison --> Doucoure
        Morata -> Aguero

        But no-one wants Doucoure

        C
        Hazard --> McArthur or Carroll
        DLC -> Aguero

        1. TallestJohn
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          A or B. Depends how much faith you have in Haz/Lingard.

          1. Jaunty Jonty
            • 13 Years

          Thinking and getting Mertesacker should not be in the same sentence.

          Any advice ? I still have some budget aside but I'm waiting for the end of the transfer window. Then I could upgrade Linfgard and/or Son

          Pope - Adrian
          Cuco Martina - Marcos Alonso - Jones - Suttner - Gomez
          Sterling - Salah - Carroll - Lingard - Son
          Quaner - Tosun - Kane
          ITB 2.7

          I'm planning Carrol to Arnie (this GW) or Albrighton (after GW23).

          opinions ?

          Who will Sanchez put at risk of rotation the most? I currently have it as
          Sané
          Aguero
          Sterling

          1. navin
            • 14 Years

            Sane

          2. Arteta
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            We should discuss this later when/if the deal goes through

          Salah - lingard - sterling - son - richarilson
          Kane - rooney - depoitre

          A)
          rich > mahrez
          Rooney > kun
          Son > McArthur

          B)
          Rich > kdb
          Depoitre > mcburnie

          C)
          Rich > mahrez
          Rooney > firmino
          Depoitre > mcburnie

          Other? Quite confused on next moves. Rooney could be tosun with their fixtures if he looks hot

          • 13 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          So with much tinkering I finally think I've settled on this lot for my WC. Changing formation to 442. Any suggestions?

          de Gea

          Mustafi Alonso Jones Ota

          Sterling Lingard Mahrez Salah

          Kane Firmino

          Elliot/McArthur/Chilwell/Quaner

          1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Mustafi —> Christensen or VVD

              1. Podge
                • 13 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              That's similar to the team I'm working towards (3 transfers away) so yes I like it. I will have:

              de Gea

              Christensen Alonso Ota Duffy

              Sterling Lingard Hazard Salah

              Kane Firmino

              Elliot/Ogbonna/RLC/Quaner

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Is a 5-4-1 formation a little too negative?

            I could do it and get premium players in all positions from the top 6 clubs, looks amazing on paper !

            1. kennethrhcp
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I think I saw a few lads do it early on & 1 or 2 went well... no idea long term tho

            2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Negative? You aren't managing an actual football team!

            3. navin
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              post the team please.

            4. Pierce34
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I think most of the time 3-5-2 is the best formation because of its flexibility. A premium forward gets hot? You downgrade a midfielder and switch to 3-4-3. Top team defences clicking and facing good fixtures? Can switch to 4-4-2.

              5-4-1 might be a bit too short-term and inflexible, but who knows, it might work out longer term too.

            5. raoulduke71
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Pickford (Adrian)
              Christensen Otamendi Jones VVD Alonso
              Sterling Pogba Salah Sanchez (Surman)
              Kane (Ayew) (Quaner)

              Realised Pickford isn't top 6 but close enough! Sanchez is pencilled in if he goes city but happily go KDB etc if not

          3. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Azpi is so so neglected here at the moment

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Bitter because I got him instead of Alonso when he was 6.8 and Alonso was 6.9 and missed out on 4 goals since

              1. The Overthinker
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                At the start of the season, say quarter azpi outscored Alonso and he (Alonso) was considered waste of money 🙂

                Everybody has their turns

            2. Colonel Klink
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              It’s his price, for me. When I ditch Vert, I may get that sucka.

              1. The Overthinker
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                Looks sensible.
                Maybe consider an Arsenal defender

            • 10 Years

            Is Morata to Aguero obvious if you have the funds and it's free ?

            The rest of my team is fine (or can wait a for WC days) I think.

            Foster Elliot
            Alonso Jones Ogbonna Holgate Mbemba
            Lingard Salah Carroll Son Sterling
            Kane Mounie Morata

            1. Colonel Klink
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              Or save. It’s a good team.

              • 9 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Save your transfer or upgrade Mbemba to a starting cheap defender - Mounie, Holgate, Carroll and Mbemba is not a great 11th player choice and all may not see any game time this weekend

          5. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Am I foolish for thinking Wilshere could be a decent pick?

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah ramsey back soon

                • 11 Years
                6 years, 9 months ago

                But with Sanchez likely leaving, I can see Ramsey on the flank.

                • 11 Years

                I know he’s risky, definitely. Cheers.

              wilshere not a good pick even if he plays 90 mins every game for the rest of the season

              • 9 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Nope. There's more cons than pros. He rarely gets any attacking returns and is injury prone. Add possibility of yellow cards and you're looking at one or two pointers for most weeks. Just enjoy watching him play
