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.
Spurs double up
Spurs double up
Martial a good punt?
I'd say so, yeah.
looks good for the west ham game following ole's presser
i think so
Please help..Gtg??
Ryan
Duffy Alder TAA
Mane Son(c) Eriksen Kdb
Vardy Kun Murray
No kdb
Anh particular reason??
What would you say about this one?
Just lacks Wolves def and Im not sure about JWP.
Lloris/Foster
Laporte/TAA/Duffy/Dunk/Bednarek
KDB/Mane/Eriksen/Son/JWP
Kun/Vardy/Jimenez
Vardy>Deeney>Firmino
Prefer gunn to foster. Holeb?
I'd keep Foster personally
Verthongen better option than Laporte the next 3?
Yup
I think so to. I also think Ryan is a better option than Lloris. 1 extra fixture!
All I see is Lloris + Laporte on all wc. Thats why im asking
Capt vardy or son
Vardy
murray or ryan for -8
Neither
Own only duffy for double
Yes good move imo
Which one geeza
Laporte + JWP or Doherty + Jota on WC? Already got Jimenez in my team.
Think I will go Vert + JWP
laporte and JWP- not even close imo
Gtg? Doherty or TAA?
Ryan
Laporte Doherty Duffy
Sterling Mane Eriksen Son (c)
Aguero Jimenez Deeney
Foster TAA Hoj Valery (0.3 itb)
Same dilemma edging Doherty.
Any good ?
Lloris - Foster
Laporte - Trent - Duffy
Salah - Eriksen - Son - Jota
Aguero - Jimenez - Vardy
Foster - Deulofeu - Doherty - Valery
You know it is
Laporte risk of a rest. Kompany and Stones fit
Not sure on Jotas numbers ...off the boil
Not a fan of premium keepers but looks good
Not sure on dels game time but can be decent if starts
So uncertain captaining Son. Stick or switch? Other options are Eriksen & Vardy.
Erik
Reason?
Surely Spurs will smash Hudds and you would expect him to be involved and to start.
Right lads help would be much appreciated.
Ryan Foster
Vert TAA Duffy Coady Valery
Mane Eriksen Son Martial Jota
Kun Vardy Jiminez
With Vardy to Deeney next week.
Good
Will Ramsey start games? Quite like him, if he does...
Think we'd all have him if he were even 80% nailed.
Is JWP that much better option than Hojbjerg? The money saved would be useful later on
Planning to do this downgrade if need be later on but for the double I think JWP edges it. Depends what you can do with the money now for me I can't do alot.
JWP home form is good, but both games are away in 35, what do you think? I im planning to use the money later, just not sure JWP+transfer later is better than Hojbjerg
Yes I don't like planning transfer either really. Tough choice.
Overall JWP safer I think. Hojboj likes a shot and sometimes they go in - a couple of those happen to have been recent.
From what Ive seen in the away matches they pretty much play on the same position, in home games JWP is further forward
JWP is more creative. I've had Hojberg for most of the season as my cheap midfielder and he scored on my free hit week, but hardly ever in my team.
JWP seems more creative and on set pieces, but he is the most overachiever in XG and Hojbjerg even has higher XA that the set piece taker JWP, + both games are away, JWP is significantly better at home.
Would appreciate a quick show of hands... who should I start?
A) JWP (352)
B) King (343)
King has only scored in one away game all season but is a striker on pens. JWP home form is brilliant but has probably lost pens to Ings.
B
B, btw considering JWP both games are away in 35, is Hojbjerg equally good option as him?
laca or auba as cap ?
Laca for me
Boly or Kola?
Boly for me if you don't have Doherty. Arsenal don't do away games if they had more at home Kola would be in my team.
Cheers. Yeah dont have Docko so
A: Robbo & Doherty or B: TAA & Laporte?
A
A
WC team g2g?
Ryan (Foster)
Robertson Laporte Vertonghen Duffy (Bednarek)
Sterling Mane Eriksen Son (c)(Hojbjerg)
Aguero Jimenez (Deeney)
Your team value must be insane to own all those big hitters.
Solid imo
Thoughts on this WC team ?
Ryan (Foster)
Laporte Trippier Duffy (TAA Valery)
Sterling Son Eriksen Mane (Jota)
Kun Jimmy Deeney
GW35 BB, hopefully save FT
GW36, 2FT to get Salah
Good team, good plan. Vertonghen bit more nailed than Tripp?
Your thought please
A) Deeney (H) v Arsenal
B) JWP (H) v Wolves
Also playing Doherty and no Arsenal Defs
Tricky. Deeney. If he does well should say something entertaining to press so more fun going for him.
People are going against the Arsenal defence but the Leno and Ryan rotation gives:
Ryan - DGW
Both - DGW
Ryan - NEW
Leno - BHA
Leno - bur
Surely this is attractive?
Only one single GW away fixture for Leno so all the talk about away form is redundant.
Ryan/Gunn gives you
BOU/CAR
wol/tot + new/wat
NEW
whu
HUD
Is Gunn nailed for sure though ?
See no reason why not.
Depends how much you need the coin but i'd prefer
CRY/wol
BHA
over
new/wat
whu
only the HUD that is better for Gunn
Yeah sure if that's your preference go for it, for me Gunn is cheaper, and Arsenal defence is not appealing for me, regardless of fixtures.
Lads, help very much appreciated please. This is the WC team & I’ll bench boost in 35.
(Foster) Ryan
Trips Duffy Doherty (Valery X)
Son Sterling Mane Jota (JWP)
Kun Jimmy Vardy
5 million left for a defender. Do I go cheap at 4 with Benarek or Yosh or Dunk maybe. Or use the 5 and go Lindelöf? Cheers
Kola?
Dunk if you are feeling Brighton, but would then have to bench an attacker this week. Otherwise, maybe Bolly? I'd give Utd defence a miss.
Captain 1:
A) Vardy (have both form and fixture)
B) Son (rotation concern?)
C) Eriksen (explosive enough to captain?)
D) Sterling (rotation concern?)
E) Aguero (rotation concern?)
I am thinking C ...low captaincy %
I'm coming round to Erik. Surely Spurs will smash Hudds and you would expect him to be involved and to start.
From now, until the end
With Aguero and Jimenez;
A. Auba
B. Laca
C. Rashford
Will Lukaku get a rest we reckon?
I'd say 50-50 for him and Rashford this week.
What hits do I take with this. 0 ITB, 0 FTs, no WC, BB35 & TC36
Ederson Gunn
Robbo Periera Duffy WB Bednarek
Salah Hazard Mane Pogba Brooks
Vardy Wilson Rondon
Which option?
A) KDB & Jota
B) Sterling & Hojbjerg
GTG?
Ryan
Trippier Alexander-Arnold Duffy
Mane Eriksen Son Jota
Aguero(v) Lukaku(c) Jimenez
Foster Ward-Prowse Valery Bednarek
Any reason why you didn't go with Sterling ? I'm Interested that's all.
Sterling may not play both matches in the DGW. I think Aguero is more nailed.
OK thanks. Think you might be right.
For most of us, our WC teams will be coming together nicely; but up until the deadline we're likely to have a few spots that we can't decide on.
What are those spots for you? Can you not decide on your 5th midfielder? 3rd striker? Or are there more fundamental changes to heavy hitters you're weight up?
What do you still need to decide on for your GW34 WC?
Ooh bottomed, nice!
I don't count posts 😉
I still need to decide to go for
A) Sterling and Boly or
B) De Bruyne and 6.5 (any suggestions)?
A
Probably A
Robertson and KDB or TAA and Sterling is a tricky one, can't decide
Trent and Sterling
Trent and Sterling
Do you not think Robbo and KDB are slightly more nailed?
3rd striker (Aguero/Jimenez are nailed)
Premium defender - can't decide between Laporte/Trippier.
5th Midfielder - can't decide between Eriksen, B.Silva, Martial
Deeney
Laporte (with Lloris in net)
Eriksen
Jota and Foster or Lloris and JWP but I’m confident I’ll go Jota and Foster
So really it’s if I go Valery or Dunk. Dunk would mean triple Brighton DF and a transfer to Valery next week
Valery now
Strategy for moving Vardy out and who to bring in after.
Tripper or Laporte?
Plus - is it worth 3 Brighton this week, with a plan to shift one or two next week?
Is a one week punt on Camarasa and planned transfer to a Sot mid worth it or not is my only dilemma
Probably not tbh
Not for me.
5th mid
Salah or Sterling
Doucoure or another
I still cant decide on Doucoure. I just dont feel comfortable with him. Still not sure about Sterling or Aguero.
A- Laporte mane jota Doherty (0.3 ITB)
B- vertonghen kdb son Jonny (1.8 ITB)
C-vertonghen KdB Son Doherty (0.8 ITB)
B enables me Salah in 35
Which combo??
Basically, whether to go all out with my WC or have funds to do sterling to salah in 35, or get salah on WC
City 2nd & 3rd spots- which 2 out of Laporte/KdB/Sterling
Kane to Laca allows Ryan to Lloris, Valery to Doherty and JWP to Jota.
Kane to Kun only allows one of those upgrades.
Can't deciide which is the best option, and if I go with Kun which upgrade to make!
Aguero or not.
Vertongen or Tripier alos should start Taa or Doherty and Jota or Deeney
Salah/Jota/Boly vs Mane/KDB/Jonny is my last conundrum
Pick one from each:
1) KDB
2) Raheem
A) Mane
B) Salah
Y) Dunk (have Duffy)
Z) Valery (have Duffy)
Can you afford 2BZ?
Sterling v KDB
(Hojboj v Jota
Bennett v Coady
Bednarek v Valery)
Mine boils down to rotation concerns for Laporte...
A) Gunn + Laporte
B) Lloris + Duffy (have Dunk + Ryan)
I’m torn between:
A) Salah, Aguero & Jota/Doucoure
B) Mane, Firmino & Sterling
Or messing with structure & doing Van Dijk > TAA to fund:
C) Mane & De Bruyne,
(Over Salah & Jota in A).)
Someone nobody has mentioned... Pogba?! Crazy differential or just crazy? I'm considering him vs Jota + Cash.
To Vardy or to Eriksen. Probably going with Eriksen
Please tell me which is better for DGW 34+35. On a wildcard and will bench boost
1. a) Lacazette and pogba or b) Jota and Aguero
2. Ward prowse or Redmond
3. Rashford + Lacazette or Aguero and Deeney
5 years, 16 days agoAnyone keeping haz for this week? Either that or doubling up on spurs with eriksen and son
