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?

    Play 2

    A. DLuiz
    B. Schlupp
    C. Brooks
    D. Batshuayi

    1. Bucket Man

      CD

  2. TheDragon

    5 years, 8 days ago

    At last, down to 3 options, * are players who could change.

    A)
    Lloris, Foster
    Duffy, Dunk, ROBERTSON*, Doherty, Valery
    Eriksen, Son, STERLING*, Mane, JWP
    Jimenez, DEENEY*, AGUERO*

    B) Same as A but Vardy over Aguero

    C)
    Lloris, Foster
    Duffy, Dunk, TAA*, Doherty, Valery
    Eriksen, Son, KDB*, Mane, JWP
    Jimenez, VARDY*, AGUERO*

      Right. Settled on this Wc squad... worth putting vardy in now and planning the switch to Aguero next week. Gives a lovely captain option too... ?

      Thanks

      Ryan
      Duffy. Robertson. Doherty
      Sterling. Mane. Son. Eriksen
      Aguero. Deeney. Jimi

      Lloris. Jwp. Cathcart. Valery

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      think I prefer A & then transfer out Dunk for a cheap Watford defender for GW35?

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks for replying - that’s the plan I’ve been on just worrying a bit about not having Vardy this week

  3. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Ward-Prowse or Deulofeu?

    1. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Deulofeu if fit

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Deulofeu

    3. zotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I would rather have Deeney though and jwp has lovely fixtures in last three

  4. OzilFozzil
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Really struggling with what to do with Vardy who is currently my captain.
    Long term he shouldn’t be on my team.

    Which is the best option on Wildcard:

    A) Vardy, Sterling
    B) Aguero, KDB

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I'll probably keep him until GW37 tbh, all three of those fixtures are really good

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Exactly this, then swap to Rashford who has Huddersfield and Cardiff

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      What about vardy kdb. Then switch to Aguero 35?

      1. OzilFozzil
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        I like this...

  5. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Would you transfer out Mané for a 8.4m or less option to afford Vardy > Kun on WC?

    Ryan
    Robertson - Vertonghen - Duffy
    Eriksen - Jota - MANE - Son - Sterling
    VARDY - Jiménez
    (Foster - Deeney - Doherty - Valery)

    1. OzilFozzil
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Who would you get for 8.4 though?

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Probably a Watford mid, and do minor upgrades elsewhere – while having a bit of cash in hand if needed.

  6. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Bench one:
    A) Doherty (SOU A)
    B) Perreira (NEW H)
    C) Robbo (CHE H)

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

    2. quayle99
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

  7. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    How does one determine who is the better option between Sterling and Aguero?

    Have KdB and Laporte already.

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I've chosen them both. But since you can't pick both I'd say Aguero is a better pick. He will most likely play at least 60min every game if fit.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        It’s a fair point.

    2. quayle99
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Ditch KDB and get both

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Would love to but I don’t have unlimited funds.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I'm on all 3. No Liv attack though.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        I’m guessing if you had to drop one it would be KdB?

  8. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Bottomed

    Think I may be settled at last:

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

    Foster - Jota - Bednarek - Boly

    £1.4m 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?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Like the Lukaku punt could always get Aguero in from there later on.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Would be tempted to captain Rom if you have him.

    3. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Different. I quite like it!

  9. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Which uis better?

    A) Get Deeney know instead of Vardy and have 2 Free Transfers in GW36 to get Salah in for free

    B) Get Vardy know and swap for Deeney next GW even if it means a -4 hit to get Salah in GW 36?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I would avoid planning hits on WC

    2. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      a

  10. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    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.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        B

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      B. Don't like Jota on bench.

  11. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Could I get a little vote on the following, as I literally have no clue.

    A) Laporte, Sane, Deeney
    or
    B) Cathcart, KDB, Rashford (with a view to downgrade Rashford to Deeney for 35)

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Rest of the team:

      Lloris Gunn
      TAA Duffy Dunk Bednarek ***
      Eriksen Son Mane Jota ***
      Aguero Jimenez ***

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A easily

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A. I have a suspicion Rash will have a rest against WHAM whereas Sane involvement in some form not unlikely (vague, I know).

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    There is something in the air so right,
    The stars are bright, Llorente
    They are shining there for you and me
    And for Spurs you see, Llorente
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Llorente
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Llorente

    Llorente it is 🙂

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      5 years, 8 days ago

      Very sweet

  13. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    A) Laporte and JWP
    B) Doherty and Jota

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A

  14. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Eriksen and Laporte
    OR
    KDB and Tripps

    Cheers.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      A for sure.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      E & L

  15. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    What would you say about this one?
    Just lacks Wolves def and Im not sure about JWP. Also, is it worth having Laporte?

    Lloris/Foster
    Laporte/TAA/Duffy/Dunk/Bednarek
    KDB/Mane/Eriksen/Son/JWP
    Kun/Vardy/Jimenez

    Vardy>Deeney>Firmino

    WC. G2G?

    Lloris.

    1. Iggypop

      Triple C Aguero next week?

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Will bb next week

    2. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I'm definitely keeping Vardy for now. Aguero may not start this weekend and even if he does he's notoriously poor away from home.

  21. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Bar Brighton and Spurs who do you reckon is most likely to get a CS this week?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Leicester perhaps

      1. Dave Dreamer
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        This

      2. TheDragon

        You’ve not owned Leicester defenders this season have you...

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years

          Pereira still haunts me hahaha

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      City

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      City

  22. Dave Dreamer
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    My 3 predictions

    1. Pep will screw us over with rotation
    2. Deeney is a trap.
    3. Defence will be where the points are in the double.

  23. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    How's this wildcard looking?

    Lloris Ryan
    Robertson VVD Laporte Duffy Valery
    Sterling Eriksen Son Martial JWP
    Kun Jimenez Murray

    Murray to Deeney for 35 and Martial to Mane for 36 would be the plan

    1. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Looks great... apart from Murray.

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    G2G?
    Ryan(Foster)

    1. MartialMatas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good. I'd start Doherty and jota this week though

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        Cheers mate, Doherty over TAA and Jota over Deeney you mean?

        1. MartialMatas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yeah

        2. Dave Dreamer
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 8 days ago

          I'd start TAA and Jota (for Deeney)

  25. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    A) VVD (have value) and Hojbjerg
    B) TAA and JWP

      Vardy for me unless no other Pool attack.
