Monitor – Romelu Lukaku

2,266 Comments
Share

After starting our series of members’ articles on Wildcard targets with a look at Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, our sights turn to another in-demand frontman.

With Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero currently nursing injuries, Romelu Lukaku’s recent resurgence has not gone unnoticed by Fantasy Premier League managers.

Three goals and a pair of assists in the last five Gameweeks, allied with a trio of strikes over four cup outings in the same timeframe, means that the Man United striker is the second most bought player in FPL ahead of Gameweek 32.

Following a barren autumn period, Lukaku seems to have stepped up his output following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez.

With two double Gameweeks anticipated for the Red Devils, can the Belgian claim a place in our frontlines for the run-in?

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          He played 9 straight games plus CL before his rest against Bournemouth ... Spurs chasing a top 4 finish and Poch will flog them from now to the end of the season. Plus Rose has been rubbish

      I had him in, but kept seeing that seemed a bad idea. Mainly because of Rose.

          They're all still sold picks even though their not in most wc teams

          I regret selling Ota and Kenedy is a fine 5th mid if you go big up top, or have a big back 4

          Otamendi or Davies could be swapped I guess for Robertson maybe?

      monreal isn't nailed because of kolasinac, would go mustafi

      Also unsure on D Silva, too streaky compared and Sterling and Sane only .5 more

      Bavies has burnt me before too.

      Would save yourself .5 on mee and get lowton
