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?

    Anyone handing Duffy the triple captain?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      plenty

    2. asquishypotato

      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Those that are bold

      Triple up and triple captain, I salute

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        That’s effectively 5 Brighton defender it’s pretty season defining if you do that!

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Could be insanely effective

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I don't get it. No other week in the entire season would this be logical

  2. The Red Devil

    A- Laporte mane jota Deeney Doherty (0.3 ITB)
    B- vertonghen kdb son deeney Jonny (1.8 ITB)
    C-vertonghen KdB Son deeney Doherty (0.8 ITB)

    B enables me Salah in 35.
    Which combo?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      B looks good although C tickles the fancy, that said I’ve been burnt by the Doc so can’t participate in the love in

    Play 1:
    Robbo (CHE)
    Doherty (sou)
    Valery (WOL)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      1

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Can’t see clean sheets for any so who do you think will be the most attacking?

  5. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Not sure if it’s a bit imbalanced but like the punt on KDB

    Ryan Foster
    Robbo Vert Duffy Valery Bednerak
    KDB Son Erik Mane JWP
    Aguero Laca Jiminez

    1. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Nice team

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Cheers

    2. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      even if KDB doesn't work there are great alternatives and plenty of points in there.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Hope so, KDB is a punt but can’t squeeze sterling in and have to fill the budget somehow

    3. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      almost similar team with few minor changes,
      Foster is Gunn
      Bednarek is Jonny
      Mane is sterling
      Laca is Deeney

  6. Champions united

    Missing spots for my WC

    1.Rash+sterling +salah

  8. goriuanx

    This has to be one of the hardest WC's I can remember.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Tough one ain't it 🙂 worry about rotation seems to increase every year !

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yep

    3. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Agreed, had it all sorted with Kane and felt like i was going to boss it. Only just settled on my team after a LOT of tinkering.

    4. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Are you having Camarassa in it Berb?

  9. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    I hate that I'm so obsessed with having Auba in my team. Someone talk me out of it

    1. JuulKrapuul
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Emery

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Just go with your guts !

    3. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I'm wondering if Laca is the better option?

    4. Mattymo23
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Don't

    5. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      There are lots of players to obsess over but I assure you Auba isn’t one. Even if you don’t have him and he does great it won’t matter as no one else owns him

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        But if he does great I'm golden.

    6. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      On a podcast (always cheating) they said, find the guy your putting in because you think he is different and is going against the obvious... and take him out your team.

      I removed Sanchez because of that.

  10. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    A)Doherty+Jota
    B) Laporte+JWP

    Jota/JWP will only play in 35,37

  11. chelseabrad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    On a Wildcard, how am I looking? 1.4 ITB, only TC left.

    Leno Ryan
    Trippier Robbo Doherty Dunk Valery
    Eriksen Son Sterling Jota Camarasa
    Laca Jimenez Murray

    Cheers

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

      Knockeart instead of Camarasa??

      2 home games instead. That's what I went for

      1. chelseabrad
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Already got 3 Brighton

  12. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    A) Salah
    B) Mane

    to

    1) Son
    2) Erikson

    Thought?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      You’ll want them back for 36 so I’d just do 1 of the transfers - if you can keep Salah then great

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Yes, I think I'm just going to 'ride it out' as you said.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      B1

  13. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Who do we think starts for city this week? Do we think aguero and sterling are still pretty essential in premiership games

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      There's no point going for the title for 33 weeks then throwing it away in the 34th. Pep has to start both imo.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        This is my thinking but wanted to check it makes sense rather than just being blind hope on my part!

        So you think both start this weekend?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          I would think so tbh.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Fully expecting neither to start this week and expecting tears with spurs too. Don't mind though.. For the run in they'll be gold

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Aren’t we at the run in already?!

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Run in post the spurs UCL saga I mean 🙂

      2. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Aguero will start 1000%

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          That’s a very high %

          1. ㅤRising
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Thats how confident I am of him starting!

            1. TheDragon
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              What about Sterling? I hope you are right

              1. ㅤRising
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 15 days ago

                I dont know about Sterling, but Aguero for sure.

  14. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    With Salah and Mane uninspiring recently, anyone considering going with Robertson and no other Liverpool assests on WC? Doesn't count if you're saving money to transfer in Salah for GW36 😉

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      No Liverpool in 35 and particularly 36 is very very risky

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Saving money and 2fts for Robertson and mane/Salah gw 36.. Yes that's a lot of Money in the bank

    3. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      mad

  15. diplodocus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    On WC can't decide

    Lloris, Foster
    Dunk, Duffy, Robbo, Doherty, Bednarek*
    Son, Eriksen, Sterling, JWP, De Bruyne*
    Jimi, Laca*, Firmino*

    or

    Lloris, Foster
    Dunk, Duffy, Robbo, Doherty, Valery*
    Son, Eriksen, Sterling, JWP, Mane*
    Jimi, Aguero*, Deeney*

    Going without Aguero & Mane could be costly due to ownership but think De Bruyne, Laca & Firmino could do well and don't like Deeney pick Watford very unpredictable

    1. AB.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Be bold - go with the first team!

      1. diplodocus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Cheers, gut it is!

  16. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Ederson, Leno
    Robbo, TAA, Azpi, Schlupp, Valery
    Sterling, Mane, Son, JWP, Jota
    Jimi, Laca, Deeney

    Regarding DGW35 (NO WC, 2FT and willing to do a max of -8)
    concerned about sterling and laca minutes so considering, and JWP in two away fixtures

    currently considering :
    A) Sterl , JWP, Laca ---> Haz, Delof/Douc, Aguero

    B) Sterl, Laca, Ederson --> Haz, Aguero, Foster

    C) Sterl, Laca, Deeney ---> Delof'/Douc, Aguero, Vardy

    D) Sterl, Mane, Laca, Deeney ---> Haz,Delof/Douc, Aguero,Firmino

    E) Ederson, JWP, Laca ---> Foster, Delof/Douc, Aguero

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  17. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Best defender for 5 million? Wanting to transfer out AA. Currently, have Vardy but will want to transfer him to Firmino next week. (Already have valery and Duffy). Was thinking Keane?

    Help Appreciated!

    1. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I guess Kolasinac at that price

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Kola?

  18. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    TAA & Laporte or Robbo & Doherty?

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      b

    2. JurgenRocks
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I would go for TAA & Doherty, but keep Robbo if you want to.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        I think Robbo is way better pick than TAA if money isn’t an issue

  19. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    For the whole season I've been obsessing about team value. Now I'm on my final wildcard I don't know how to spend all the money.

    Even worse.. I'm sure I'll make bad decisions because I didn't want to leave money in the bank..

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I’ll spend it for you

  20. JurgenRocks
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Ok, I think I've made up my mind. Any advice on this WC team?

    Foster, Ryan,
    Tripper, Doherty, Valery, TAA, Duffy
    Son, Eriksen, JWP, Mane, Jota,
    Aguero, Vardy, Jimenez

    Planning to captain Vardy, then sell him next week.

  21. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    A) Kun
    B) KDB
    C) Sterling

    Is Eriksen on pens now? Anyone, cheers

    1. goriuanx

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Is there a particular reason ffs has alli and lamela as the peno takers? Would have thought it'd be the set piece specialists Eriksen or Trippier on them tbh

  23. Lord Bendtner
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Hi,

    Best def for 5.5 ?

    I have Robbo/Valery/Duffy/Doherty

  24. Clickzy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Who would you captain if you had all three:

    A) Murray
    B) Duffy
    C) Son

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Son. No doubt

  25. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Which WC plan do you think is better? GKs and defenders are same in both

    a)
    Lloris - Foster
    Dunk - Duffy - Valery - Bednarak - Boly
    Eriksen - Son - JWP- KDB - Camarasa
    Kun - Lukaku - Vardy

    Bench in 34: Foster - JWP - Boly - Bednarak
    Transfer plan: Vardy --> Jimenez AND Camarasa to a 8m mid

    b)
    Lloris - Foster
    Dunk - Duffy - Valery - Bednarak - Boly
    Eriksen - Son - Pogba- KDB - Camarasa
    Kun - Deeney- Vardy

    Bench: Foster - Deeney - Boly - Bednarak
    Transfer plan: Vardy --> Jimenez AND Camarasa to a 7.5m mid

    1. STORZ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Id go A, Lukaku could be a decent differ

  26. STORZ
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Crunch time on for WC. Feedback appreciated.

    (A)
    Lloris Foster
    Robbo Duffy Dunk Valery Bony
    Son(C) Lucas Salah Sterling Camarasa
    Aguero Jimenez Deeney

    Lucas & Camarasa > Jota & Ward-Prowse for GW35 (-4)

    (B)
    Ryan Foster
    Robbo Duffy Vertonghen Boly Valery
    Son(C) Eriksen ManeSterling Camarasa
    Aguero Jimenez Deeney

    Camarasa > Ward-Prowse for GW35 (Free)

    Chasing 47points in ML and he has Mane. Wanted to keep salah for TC in GW36

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years

      Pretty much (but that’s the problem, not 100%)

  28. zeepeee
    • 7 Years

    Who will get more points for GW 34-35?

    A) Sterling + Valery
    B) Sterling + Bednarek
    C) Sterling + Vestergard
    D) KDB + Robertson

    1. Eric Banternaaa

      D

  29. simong1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Bench TAA (CHE) or Doherty (sou)?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Doherty

  30. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Attempt 2. Any constructive criticism?

    Ryan | Foster
    TAA | Dunk | Bednarek | Valery | Bennett
    KDB | Mane | Eriksen | Son | Deulofeu
    Aguero | Laca | Jiminez

    ITB 1.7

    Upgrade defence. Valery to 5.7?

    Deul is flagged but will bench this week, want for DGW. WIll be transfering either Duffy or Dunk to Cathcart next week.

    1. bombayblues
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Coleman? Digne? Higher points ceiling

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Everton don't have a DGW and United next week.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Can’t see
      TAA, Bennett or Deulofeu getting anywhere near 2 starts in 35 and these guys must be a high chance of rotation too KDB, Laca, Jiminez

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Anybody from City is at high risk of rotation. Laca is at much risk as Auba and Jiminez has to much invested to sell and happy wkith fixtures.
