The best forwards for a second Wildcard squad

A vacuum has been left in the forwards department by Harry Kane’s (£12.6m) recent injury – and those on the Wildcard this week have the opportunity to fill it with some decent options.

In this article we assess each striker by their goal threat, creativity and fixtures to find the best trio for the season run-in.

As we’ve used members data for this, only Fantasy Football Scout members can view our analysis.

Which forwards have the best goal threat?

    Last conundrum to be sorted unless Pressers throw in wrench in the works.
    Pretty torn to be honest.

    A) TAA & Jota
    B) Robbo & Ward Prowse

    Thoughts?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a

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

      A

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B less rotation risk

    4. Mclean as a Whistle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmm...
      Think I'm leaning more towards A)
      Cheers

    Which pair on WC?

    A) KDB + Vardy/Laca
    B) Martial + Aguero

    Thanks

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B but not overly convinced on Martial

    2. Mclean as a Whistle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think Martial is a risk too far.

  3. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A: Leno, TAA, Bednarek & Jota

    B: Lloris, Robertson, Valery & Hojbjerg

    Ryan - xxx
    Doherty - Robertson - Valery - Duffy - xxx
    Sterling - Son - Eriksen - Jota - xxx
    Jimenez - Aguero - Deeney

    a) Pogba (got him early), Dunk, Foster

    Thanks!

      B

  7. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you start

    Doherty or TAA?

    1. simong1
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doherty for me. Tough choice though.

  8. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Please help to bench 3 😮

    Etheridge
    Dunk Duffy TAA Doherty Bednarek
    Knockaert Sterling Mane Eriksen Camarasa
    Jimenez Vardy Aguero

    Gunn

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bednarek, TAA, Knockaert for me.

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Knockaert with DGW home games?!

    2. Old Boots
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe switch Camarasa to Hojberg... Gives you a doubler for next week instead and removes the bech headache in your front 8

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers OB, will have a look

      2. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Like that suggestion, went with Camarassa ahead of Knockaert as he may not start both and Cam on pens etc.

  9. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who starts Lukaku or Rashford ?

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku imo

  10. cigan
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What are your opinions on Jota vs. Deulofeu and which combo would you prefer?
    It's very 50:50 for me but on A right now

    A) Jimenez & Deulofeu
    B) Deeney & Jota

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      can also get Jimenez & Jota but the Watford dgw looks too tasty to skip

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B as Jota more nailed than deulofeu

    3. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Mclean as a Whistle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      J & J for me.
      Don't trust Deulofeu's minutes

    5. Manani
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I got B (but also got Jimenez), feels like Jimenez is a must have

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best combo ?

    A taa kdb deeney
    B vvd pogba Murray

    Thanks a lot !!

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I like A

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years

        Thank you

  12. simong1

    Good to go for this week (WC)?

    Lloris
    Duffy - Doherty - Laporte
    Mane - Son (c) - Eriksen - KDB
    Jimenez - Aguero - Deeney

    Bench: Foster - Jota - TAA - Valery

  13. Dave Dreamer

    I have lost 0.5m transferring players in and out this week!

    Lesson to learn for me, use paper and pen unless the prices are going UP!!

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      With experience you’ll get used to keeping players at high prices until just before the deadline. Happens to most.

      1. Dave Dreamer
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I've been playing for 8 years, experience isn't the problem stupidity is lol

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          😀

  14. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to start:

    A. Valery (WOL)
    B. Robbo (CHE)

    ?

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, Chelsea may well have European hangover and Wolves may be wounded after their FA Cup exit so probably the right call.

  15. Manani
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    g2g?

    Ryan Lloris
    Valery Duffy Laporte TAA Dohetry
    Eriksen Mane Jota Knockaert Son
    Deeney Aguero Jimenez

    4.8m ITB to get Salah

  16. Origi-nal
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Low TV. BB35. How does this WC look?

    Lloris
    Duffy(C) Laporte VVD Tripier
    Eriksen Mane Maddison
    Aguero Jiminez Lacazette

    Foster Deulofeu Hojberg Valery

  17. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any sensible way to shave 0.1 off this? Really want Spurs and Watford defence for the double. Or revert back to like I had?
    Llloris, Foster
    Robbo*, Doherty, Duffy, Dunk, Bednarek*
    Salah, Erik, Son, Jota, Holjberg*
    Aguero, Jim, Deeney

    * would be TAA, Valery, JWP

    1. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Salah>Mane or Foster>Gunn

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure I like the saints double up at the back, and really want Salah, feel he may repay me. Would you prefer VVD and Holjberg or TAA and JWP?

  18. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Tempted by Lukaku now.

    Reckon he'll start?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why now ?

    Hmm opinions on this? 0.0 itb
    Foster Gunn
    Duffy Dunk Doherty Bednaerk Robertson
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota Deulofeu
    Aguero Aubameyang Jimenez

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is auba really a better pick than laca ? Great team

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That is my biggest thinking point at the moment. Could also do
        RYAN Foster
        LAPORTE Robertson Doherty Dunk Bednarek
        Sterling Eriksen Son Jota Deulofeu
        Aguero LACA Jimenez

  21. borko
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    for gw 35

    a) son , jimenez

    or

    b) sterling , aguero

  22. Dave Dreamer

    Verthongen Vs Trippier.

    Seen a lot of love for Verthongen on here

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd still say Trippier is a better option

    2. JuulKrapuul
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha indeed. Also think Rose is overlooked.

    3. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vert for nailedonness, Tripp for glory.

  23. JuulKrapuul
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Will Rose be rested more than Trippier?

    1. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A lot more likely with Davies fit

    2. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rose has competition not sure about Tripps unless Walker-peters comes in.

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    One last time, this is really killing me! First to three wins
    A)Vardy+Jota+Doherty
    B)Aguero+Hojbjerg+Cathcart

    The midfielder will be the 8th attacker and will only play in 35,37.
    Already have Sterling.

  25. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sounds like Mendy will start this GW, anyone taking the risk and going with him!?

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why does it sound like? Has Pep mentioned him?

  26. Laporte In A Storm
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    It's all very templatey, but the forward issue is definitely tricky. I don't like requiring a transfer to complete my GW35 team (Vardy > Deeney), which I would prefer to spend moving back to LIV, but I don't like Deeney or LIV fixtures this week either. I am fairly settled on this, I think:

    Ryan - Foster
    Laporte - Vertongen - Dunk - TAA - Valery
    Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Doucoure - Stephens
    Kun - Vardy - Jimenez

    GW18 rank: 34, 8xx

    Thats progress, up a measly 12 places in 15 gameweeks 😎

        I'll be top in approximately 3,528 years 😀

  28. frenchfries
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg?

    Lloris
    Robbo Duffy Dunk
    Sterling Mane Son Jota
    Aguero Vardy(c) Jimenez

    Foster Doherty WP Valery

  29. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Think I may be settled at last:

    Lloris
    TAA - Dunk - Duffy (vc)
    Son - Eriksen - De Bruyne - Siggy
    Vardy (c) - Lukaku - Jimenez

    Foster - Jota - Bednarek - Boly

    £2.8m itb. Is KDB enough cover for Man City? Need points in GW34 and concerned that Sterling and Aguero won't start. Siggy a one-week punt. Anything obvious I'm missing?

  30. Iggypop
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    think im actually hoping to hear Mane is out for this week so I can swap to KDB, bit unwilling atm as I have so much value in him and want a Liverpool asset for 36
