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?

    Punting on Camarasa..

    Wish me well. 🙂

      Okay, but only because I have him too.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looking for differentials. Couldn't resist.

          DGWer, with decent fixtures and can easily be benched in the future...although they have Palace and Fulham in the run in, so might actually give me a headache. Not sure why he isn't in more teams, I guess because he doesn't have a DGW in 35.

            • 9 Years

            He will become JWP in GW35 for me.

              5 years, 1 month ago

              I may switch him to Jota ahead of 35...but it's not an essential move.

      Wish you loads of luck

        Thanks, mate. GL to you too. 🙂

    3. Tempestic

      I'm going to do the same

      This sounds dangerously tempting...

      Sterling & Laca/Firm/Vardy or KDB & Aguero is a tough one.

      Your team looks pretty good!

      Benching Laporte over Robbo?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        think so bro

        fancy robbo for some attacking returns

        and feel more confident of a liv cs compared to a city

        palace are good at home, and liverpool are strong at home

        hazard don't turn up in big games so an easy cs there imo

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

    Cant decide who should be benched.
    GTG??

    Ryan
    Pereira - Duffy - Doherty
    Pogba - Mane - Son - Eriksen
    Aguero - Jimmy - Vardy

    Subs: Guaita, Hazard, TAA, Valery

  4. UnitedFan

    What do you think of Alderweireld as a safer alternative to Trippier? Joint second for goal attempts among defenders over the last six before the blank one gone by. Worth a shot?

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

      Id prefer him to Tripz yep

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's a good option. I'm currently deciding between him and Vertonghen. Not sure about Trippier, can see Walker-Peters getting a start soon.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I am going Vert though. Slightly more nailed. Could work well for you.

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like the fact there are 4 CH's all fit for Spurs...

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

      What about Vertonghen?

  5. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Deeney or Vardy?

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

      Vardy

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney on WC.

    3. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney

  6. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone taking Pogba on WC?

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

      Can't imagine.

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

        I was up to last night
        Went for kdb instead
        Still not totally decided though

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'm likely going Laporte in defence, so third City isn't possible.
          Pogba or Eriksen for the last midfield spot right now.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, he is almost near my team. Think he will do well.

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

        Gut feeling ??

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          They have Westham, then Everton away which tbh will be difficult, then the derby. Scored 2 last season. Gut feeling 100%.

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

            Ok

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes - will be become Salah/Mane in 36 though.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have similar plans for Liverpool assets prior to 36.
        I'm not understanding seeing so many Liverpool players in WC34 teams.
        2 games, and 1 of them is CHE. when lots of teams have 3, and better fixtures.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Zidane is.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ha, Real Madrid wildcard team would be epic, especially with the rich uncle chip

    5. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've gone Martial as he's very likely to start against West Ham and has a high points ceiling

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds like he'll play against WHU for sure.

    Anyone for a Son/Eriksen/Moura treble up to go proper Huddersfield hunting.

    Moura to A N other with GW35 FT when more info on Spurs/City/Pool available...

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

      Nah, I've been boring and gone Lloris. Will probably captain Eriksen though.

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

        Understandable but I just want to max that Hudd game. May even go Bavies with a view to swapping out after...

        1. Jedi_Reed
          • 8 Years

          Do you reckon anyone will be rested?

    Boly Eriksen De Bruyne

    2. Kolasinac/Cathcart/Boly, KDB and Deeney

    Foster TAA Hoj Valery

    1. jomikijiq

      Have the same team but Lloris&Dunk instead of Ryan&Doherty, so yes

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Identical to mine haha

    1. Ruudy Van

      A or B. Leaning towards A

  18. FPL-Gutten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What combination do you reckon is the best?
    A) Jota + Aguero
    B) KdB + Rashford
    C) Sterling + Deeney

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

      A.x

    2. Ruudy Van
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B as it's a double differential

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

    - 2 BHA-cover and 1 Spurs-cover.
    - Have value caught up in TAA & Doherty, so I cannot take them back if I sell them on WC.
    What would you do?

    A) Lloris - Foster (10)
    Robertson - Doherty - Duffy - Dunk - Valery (24,5)
    ITB: 0.8

    B) Ryan - Gunn (8.7)
    Robertson - TAA - Trippier - Duffy - Valery (26,5)
    ITB: 0.1

    Thoughts on this WC:
    Lloris Ryan

    Sterling Son Eriksen Jota Mane
    Aguero Deeney Jiminez

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

      Lloris&Ryan combo doesn't really make sense. Foster rotates better with any of them

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

    Mane or Salah that is the question...

    Lloris Foster
    Laporte Doherty Duffy Valery *
    Eriksen Son * * *
    Aguero Lacazette Jimenez

    A) Mane, Jota, Camasara, Robertson 1.3ITB (Camasara to Deulofeu/JWP gw35)
    B) Salah, Deulofeu, Camasara, TAA 0.0ITB (Camasara to Hojbjerg gw35)

    Thoughts on this? Feels quite template and wondering whether to keep Laporte... Would appreciate any input 🙂

    Ryan, Gunn
    Laporte, TAA, Doherty, Dunk, Valery
    Sterling, Mane, Eriksen, Son, Jota
    Aguero, Jiminez, Deeney

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, as usual I only comment on what I would do differently:

      I dont want Aguero because coming fresh of an injury I think he will be saved for CL, especially this weekend and possibly again if they qualify for the semi. But youve probably thought about that. It does look tasty for 34/35, you will have benchind headaches thereafter though with no attacker worth less than ca 6.

      Gunn is rotating a bit with their other GK and I would not be confident in getting 2 starts from him in 35, which is the one you probably want him for. I'd try to find the cash for Foster. If you downgrade Laporte (check fixtures, of course City are great but they do look tough) you can do Gunn > Foster and Dunk the own goal merchant > Duffy.

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks man - really appreciate the comments and like the grav.

        I was thinking potentially doing:
        - Gunn + Laporte to Lloris + Duffy and tripling up on Brighton.

        Out of interest, what's your front line like without aguero?

  26. Il Papera

    Wildcard with 5.6 ITB.
    Using the cash to get Aguero for Vardy GW 35 (dependant on Aguero champs minutes etc) and saving some money for a potential Martial to Mane.

    Lloris (Foster)
    TAA Lindelof Dunk Jonny (Valery)
    Son C Sterling Eriksen Martial (Hojberg)
    Vardy Jimenez (Deeney)
