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?

    On WC (BB35). What changes would you make? Have 2.1m to play with.

    Ryan Foster
    Vertonghen Duffy Robbo Doherty Valery
    Son Mane Eriksen Deulofeu Hojb
    Vardy Aguero Jimenez

    1. MDK

      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think that's pretty much the template that seems to have formed with the exception of Deulofeu Hojb

      Looks strong

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

        Thanks

    2. footballcandy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      My exact team, apart from Mane/Salah, Hojb/JWP, Vardy/Deeney.

      Salah obviously messes up for me getting Vardy this GW, but I just want to keep him without using FTs on him in GW36.

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

        That is the choice for me as well. Salah/Deeney or Vardy/Mane.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hoj to Jota, surely?

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

        That is certainly an option. Thanks

    4. King Kun Ta

      Raheem?

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

        Could get him in by downgrading Vardy and Doherty.

  2. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Sterling/Jiminez
    B. Jota/Aguero?

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      A

    3. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a

  3. All For One
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    GW 35 Mane>Hazard -4 dumb move or not?

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

      Selling Mane for a hit before Cardiff and Huddersfield isn't dumb.

      It's insane.

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

      Very very dumb yes

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Lol thanks guys Hazard vs Burnley looks worth it but true.

  4. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    who to captain?

    A) Son
    B) Duffy

    also TC this week or GW36 (Salah)

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

      Duffy TC is a strat

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

      Son if you’re chasing a lead possibly. Duffy to protect. I would not TC this week.

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

      Son. Wait and tc Salah

  5. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Sterling and vardy
    B. KDB and aguero

    can change though

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

      A I think

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    Do you think that Mane can match Salah's points? If yes, I could get team like this:

    Ryan
    Doherty - Kolasinac - Duffy
    Sterling - Mane - Eriksen - Son - Pogba
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Foster - Deeney - Bednarek - Cathcart

  7. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    What about this WC ?

    Lloris Foster
    Duffy Dunk Doherty TAA Valery
    Sterling Sané Son Moura Jwp
    Aguero Vardy Jimenez

    Sané + Vardy out for Salah + Deeney -4 GW 35
    Salah TC GW 36

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

    Vardy and Martial
    OR
    Aguero and Hojberg?

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

      For GW34 I'd go Vardy and Martial
      For long term I'd go Aguero and Hojberg

  9. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Foster or Gunn?

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

      Foster if don’t need cash as assuming u already have a sou def

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

      Foster

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

      Gunn actually rotates very well with ryan

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Foster
      Valery can give you a way in Southampton Defense cheaply.
      Can't do that with Watford

  10. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A mistake I do every year is picking players ahead of others that I actually want just because I have spare cash ITB.. Anyone else?

    1. Gloria Leicesterfan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. MDK
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Every year

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

    This is my Final team locked in! G2G?
    Ryan(Foster)
    Duffy Trippier Laporte (TAA)(Valery)
    Son Eriksen Sterling Mane(JWP)
    Vardy(C) Jimenez Deeney

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

      yes. But captain Duffy

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

      Looks good

    3. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would want salah and aguero on a wildcard

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

        I just switched Aguero to Vardy a while back and upgraded Elsewhere, I think Mane can cover Salah tbh

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ok I can understand the reasoning but I want to TC salah against Huddersfield.

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

    Have gone Murray for Brighton attack. Is c him a step too far ??

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

      Don’t fancy it. Might get limited mins bc of his age

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

      Yes. Given Brighton seem better at the back than up front, Duffy is the choice if captaining a Brighton player. Tottenham fixture also looks too good to miss

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

      Thanks all

    4. LOL LINGARD SCORED

        Makes things exciting for me 🙂

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

      Yes

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

    Anyone considering players like Mendy and Marial on WC?

    1. Gorbitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *Martial

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

      Nope. Mendy is not nailed and neither is Martial

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Considering Mendy. Will probably go for him if there's no bad news from the press conference.

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

    Ok now I think I'm finally done. Any opinions? 0.0 itb
    Ryan Foster
    Robertson Laporte Doherty Dunk Bednarek
    Sterling Eriksen Son Jota Deulofeu
    Aguero Lacazette Jimenez

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty solid imo. No Mane could hurt, but can't have em all.

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

        Well yea. But after GW35 I can just downgrade Deulofeu and get Mane for Eriksen/Son if needed. He is not hard to get

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Tbh I think you midfield look very good. Think I might go the same.

  15. Lord Bendtner
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hi,

    A) Redmond - Cathcart
    B) Hojberg - Kola

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      A with JWP instead of Redmond

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond is garbage

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

        What Aapoman says. Redmond is like the love-child of Nuno (appearance) and Tadic (actual performance v stats).

  16. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I just talked myself into a last minute Midfield power 5 since I didn't want to lose KdB

    Ryan (Foster)
    Duffy Vertonghen Boly (TAA, Valery)
    Son Eriksen Sterling KdB Mane
    Vardy Jimenez (Deeney)

    Hopefully this team sticks till deadline, let's see where that goes. Anything you'd change?

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

      Nice good luck !!

  17. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What EO do we think the following will have in top 10k

    A) Brighton defence/ keeper
    B) Son
    C) Aguero
    D) Sterling
    E) Vardy
    F) Salah

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

      Brighton defence 150%

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

      60
      90
      60
      75
      60
      50

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

        The first 3 seem too low. Brighton defence wil certainly be over 100 if not 200!

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

          You're presuming everyone has a wildcard. They don't

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

            60% are Wildcarding. 40% have already done it

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

              Literally every person wildcarding will have at least 1. So even ignoring the other 40% of teams that already gives you a floor of 60% EO

          2. TheDragon
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I’d be amazed even if only 50% have wildcard. I hope you are right and then Brighton keep some clean sheets!

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

              Not many had Brighton players beforehand with them blanking loads. Safe to presume all the wc get them in. It will be possibly 90 once people captain Duffy imo

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

              The how the top 10k lined up articles states chip usage each week

  18. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Duffy and Lloris

    B) Vertonghen and Ryan

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A easy

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        TA

  19. HNI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    With Kane out, will that make Son nailed for all matches or Llorent will eat into his time? Son could be rested vs hud but can Pochettino gamble on epl top 4 for the ucl quarter?

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

      I’m justifying Erickson and Son to myself based on:

      Spurs have an incredible new stadium, they therefore HAVE to have champions league football and it’s much easier to get that by finishing too 4 than winning the champions league. So if I was Poch I’d play my strongest team in the premier league each week (the slight issue is it’s huddersfiejd and spurs under 15’s could beat them)

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

        Spurs not likely to win CL (or even reach next round). Think better for Spurs to smash Hudds and rest Son etc last 20, 30 mins. Saw them scrape a win at Craven Cottage a few weeks ago and don't think they will want to do that again.

  20. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Lukaku is worth a punt this week but it might mean taking a -4 next ?

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

      Came off early midweek and good record vs West ham and a proven bully. I'd say worth a punt

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

      Great record against Hammers, and they are not good at the moment

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon he starts and would be great differential captain.

  21. zeepeee
    • 7 Years

    Whats with captaining Duffy???

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lmao.

      1. zeepeee
        • 7 Years

        Hahahahahha chances of our question getting ans doubled then

    2. Kiwivillan

      Boulevard of broken dreams

  22. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So people are really going to captain Duffy ?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      8 Points minimum, bournemoth and cardigg are atrocious away

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's in my team too, along with Dunk, but I believe a double up is enough, I don't want to rely all my GW34 around Brighton even if they play two games.

        Vardy is my captain.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Counting Brighton CS before they've hatched is a fool's errand. I've owned Duffy since 24

      3. Klein
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Minimum lol. Really doubt that. Its brighton not city/liv

      4. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Minimum lol

    No love for Murray (c) this week? Two matches at home and on pens too....

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        But will.end up in tears haha

        1. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years

          Same here. Prob gets injured after 30mins

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

      Big gamble

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Then Murray -> Deeney after this GW.

    4. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Might get 90 mins and then you’ve just captained an SGW Brighton player

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

        Who's going to be playing up front against Cardiff? I would say 60mins + 60 mins

  28. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best cheapie midfielder for the dgw?
    Tempt to take a pinto on Hudson-Odoi against Burnley rather than the boring 4-5 point defensive midfielder options elsewhere...

    a Hojbjerg
    b Hudson-Odoi
    c Dendonker

    Someone else?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
