Juggling FPL forwards to make up lost ground

“It isn’t enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.” – Timothy Ferriss

The quote above quite accurately sums up how I like to approach Fantasy Football. However, this season is making it harder to act outside the box and be successful.

It’s been a decent couple of weeks for me, as I moved off of bottom place in Greyhead’s “The Great and The Good” series – and moved up around 200,000 places to join some better company in most of my mini-leagues. David and Andy are both in my sights and, thankfully, I’ve overtaken my fellow TopGuns presenter, Luke. Hoorah!

My resurgence has however come at a time where I’ve played quite “dullard”. I haven’t taken any real risks. I dropped Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) for Danny Ings (£6.3m) when his injury was announced.

I’ve brought in John Lundstram (£5.1m) (finally!). I’ve been a bit jammy in getting Martin Kelly (£4.3m) (hardly the sexiest option) and his points off my bench… and bar this week, where I indulged in a bit of a punt on Dele Alli (£8.7m), I’ve been a regular captainer of Jamie Vardy (£10.1m).

In fact, with Vardy continuing his monstrous run of form, decisions of captaincy are made easy, and this has been an area that I have been pretty woeful in this season. When you try and do something different, it seems as though you get punished.

Last week, Luke took a punt on giving the armband to Lundstram, and was rewarded with a one-point captain. This week, I decided to back myself and go for Alli in the hope that he could outscore his English compatriot; I was wrong, and the decision cost me four points. Not a major problem, but they all count at the end of the season.

In fact, Gameweek 15 saw Vardy attract 58% of the captain poll vote on Fantasy Football Scout. Wilfred Zaha (£6.8m), Sadio Mané (£12.3m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.2m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m), Raheem Sterling (£11.8m), Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.5m) were the only players to get over 2% of the vote. Out of all of these options, all but Mané blanked. Ouch for anyone who took a punt.

In Gameweek 16, Vardy was actually only second in the poll. However, out of the top ten “best” options, only Harry Kane (£10.9m) outscored him. Again, people were punished for acting outside of the box.

At the moment, moving the captaincy away from Vardy means you are banking on two things – one, your player actually delivering points (which is proving a lottery), and two, Vardy blanking so you actually get some benefit from it. For those betting against Vardy each week, those four, five, six points that you are missing out on each week are likely mounting up.

The trouble is, when you take the captaincy out of the equation, people in my position have to find other ways of making up ground. However, the rest of our squads are so damn settled, with players such as Lundstram, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m), Mané, De Bruyne, Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m) etc. all featuring heavily in almost every team I see bandied around on the boards and on Twitter – and rightly so. These players are delivering returns when there appears to be only a small pool of players who are regularly doing so. The question then becomes: where and how can we start thinking a bit differently?

The biggest differentiator I’m seeing in people’s teams at the moment comes in the shape of which strikers are being paired with Vardy. In fact, I’ll go as far as to say that the biggest decision going into the Christmas period is which three strikers do we get into our team.

There are a number of forwards in form at the moment, which is making this decision an important – and tricky – one.

Abraham came straight back into the Chelsea team at the first opportunity and delivered a mighty 13-point haul for those that kept patience with him. A blank then followed against a resurgent Everton, but the Golden Boot contender will hope that was just a blip – as will his loyal army of managers.

Those, like me, who made the switch to Ings, must be feeling pretty smug despite Tammy’s quick return from injury. A frankly incredible run of five goals in five games, coupled with bonus points in all but one of these, is making a mockery of his price tag. Managers are flocking to the Saints man and, with West Ham and Villa to come, it’s hard to argue. But after that, could his time be over? Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Leicester are next up. Nasty.

Raùl Jiménez (£7.5m) is actually falling in price, despite only one blank in his last six appearances. He has struggled for any real explosive returns this season though, with only one double-digit score back in Gameweek 8. However, this consistency is hard to find; are managers simply thinking the grass is greener even though he is a nice safe pick to hold on to?

Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) is another name on everyone’s lips. He may be playing out of position, with Anthony Martial (£7.6m) the preferred man up top, but having just broken 100 points – and with returns in seven of the last eight games – it’s hard to begrudge those who are going for him.

I have to admit, I’ve not considered Rashford for my own team, and constantly find myself looking the way of Martial. The fixtures look great right up until Gameweek 23 and, really, an attacker from the in-form Red Devils looks a shrewd investment. I think one of these two players is a good idea for anyone over the festive schedule.

And then there are the options for the braver managers amongst us. Kane showed what he can do with a 16-point haul, making a mockery of my criticism of him on the latest Scoutcasts. Aubameyang – shunned from my own team – still has ten goals this season, and his strike partner Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) has five goals despite playing only 661 minutes at the time of writing, and looks to be the focal point of the Arsenal attack. If Arsenal can get their act together, you have to assume the goals will start flowing.

Finally, it might also be wise to consider the budget strikers, such as Lys Mousset (£5.1m), Neil Maupay (£5.8m), Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Jordan Ayew (£5.1m). These players have all put themselves in real contention for our teams too, and seeing these names in people’s teams are unlikely to raise many eyebrows, given the form and/or fixtures of these players. There truly is a plethora of talent for us to consider. I honestly cannot remember a time when so many strikers were vying for our attention.

It seems to me that juggling in-form strikers will be key to making progress over Christmas, and not being afraid to weave in and out of the aforementioned options may prove fruitful as we look to take advantage of congested fixtures and swings during a busy period.

Personally, I am rocking my trio of Abraham, Vardy and Ings. But as soon as the fixtures turn for Ings, I’ll be moving him on. I don’t like to sell an in-form player, but in a season where there are a few ways to really stamp your mark on the team – and with so many strikers scoring goals – I’m hoping that the loyalists are punished, and my shiny new forward, whoever it may be, will be a nice gift just in time for Christmas.

      Sorry this is top

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      Will have to be E) I'm afraid.

      Maroon or Ochre would have been better picks

      Tough choice though

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…

        Good answer

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Was more interesting than
          Tammy vs Rash and Soy vs Lunds questions!

    3. Our Man Charlie

      if this is about Smarties then its E. Orange 🙂

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN

      Yellow fruit pastilles are the best.

      Morning lads, need some help here.

      Really want Tammy but asking for opinions. Would you do Pulisic + Mousse to Cantwell + Tammy? That would mean having potentialy the best Che asset and also shifting to 433 with 2 fodders in midfield. What do you say, yes or no? If no what other move/s would you do here?

      Pope
      TAA Lund Kelly
      Mo KdB Son Puli
      Vardy Rash Mousse

      Button Soy Guilbert Dendo

      0,2 itb, 2 ft

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Feels wrong - losing to starters for one - but Tammy over Puli is an improvement.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          two

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers, I know. But this the only way I consider to get him in, Puli not impressive in last few and Mo, KdB, TAA all stay for now.

    7. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Team set with 1ft carry next week

      Pope
      TAA Soy Lund
      Son Mane Maddy Grealish
      Kane Vardy Ings

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…

        Good

    8. Fantasyfootballryan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts on my team below:

      Pope
      Soyuncu, Lundstrum, Kelly
      Martial, Mane, KDB, Zaha
      Vardy, Kane, Abraham

      Bench: Steklenberg, AWB, Willems, Cantwell

      Anything need doing? 0.6ITB and 1 Free Transfer?
      Have i got the right players on the bench?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks ok for this week. 2FT next week more useful than anything else you can do.

    9. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Which option is better here guys?
      2ft, 0.7itb

      1. Gw17: Saka-> Dendo/Hayden/Shelvey
      Gw18: Maddison-> Grealish
      Gw19: Jiménez->Rashford

      2. Gw17: Hanley-> Kelly
      Gw18: Taa saka-> Grealish 4.4def
      Gw19: Jiménez-> Rashford

      Basically loosing TAA or Maddison as a Grealish enabler?

      Henderson
      Taa Soy Lundstram
      Kdb mane Maddison Alli
      Jiménez Vardy Abraham

      Button aurier saka hanley

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years

        A ok, or P45 for Auba?

    11. TiAgoFPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Abraham (c) good decision ? Also have Vardy as my mini league rivals but they don't have Abraham and that Bournemouth defence... What do you think ?

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Owning is enough, cant go against vardy this week against that leaky Norwich defence. 2-3 goals from vardy very possible

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm too much of a coward to do that, but better to try and fail than not try at all.

      3. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Don't think so. Has to be Vardy or Mane this week.

      4. TiAgoFPL
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The thing is that they have Cook Ake and Smith injured

        1. BERGKOP
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Or two of the most in-form players in the game playing at home against two of the worst teams in the league.

          Tammy could haul but I'd only do it if you need to make ground.

          1. TiAgoFPL
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Ok cheers

      5. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Vardy or Salah, went Salah last week but Vardy vs Norwich is a no brainer

      6. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It is not a good week for differential captain, consequences may be too severe

    12. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bench one?

      A) Aurier (wol)
      B) Lundy (AVL)
      C) Soyuncu (NOR)

      1. KunDogan

        4 years, 3 months ago

        Whom did you decide to go for ?
        Rashford or Tammy ?
        Same dilemma here. Will get the other in GW19

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Havent decided but leaning towards tammy

          1. Stoic
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Me too. That Bournemouth game is really magnetic.

    14. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do we reckon Salah starts this weekend?

      Does anyone know from past years if KDB prone to rest over the Christmas perio? thanks

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Fairly sure all Man City’s main assets have been rotated after CL at some point. In the state they are in at the moment, i dont think Pep can afford to rest his main starts, besides the group is won. Expect KDB, Sterling ect to be rested tonight

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He is talking about the Christmas period.

          1. XABI 15
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            yep was in relation to Christmas period. I know he is a great asset but I would rather have someone like Son over that time period who I am fairly confident will start all those games.

            Any thoughts on Salah this weekend?

        1. XABI 15
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          thanks!

    15. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      This will come back to bite them big time 😉

      KDB sold by 164k before he faces arsenal

      Pulisic sold by 106k before he faces 2nd string Bournemouth defence.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I agree

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on what the replacements do ofc but I agree both should do well this week

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Does that mean you own both?

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Of course

        2. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ofcourse i do. Last chance saloon for both

    16. gelisiguzel
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      GTG? Too much option for captain but I will go with Vardy I guess.

      Henderson
      TAA, Lunds, Aurier
      Mane, KDB, Son, Maddison
      Abraham, Rash, Vardy(C)

      Subs: Button, JWP, Kelly, Simpson

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks great.

      2. fahad_jab
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That adds up to much more than 99m budget. I'm abit confused.

    17. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Struggling to justify TAA any longer...
      Pros
      - stats and eye test are great

      cons
      - Slightly more difficult games till towards end of Jan
      - No clean sheets hurt
      - 1 attacking return in last 5 GWs, with Liverpool scoring heavily
      - Expensive

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Has a blank coming.

        1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ah yes

        2. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          And an U and a N and a L and a I and a K and a E and a another L and a Y. Sorry, bitter and disgruntled pool clean sheet seeker here.

      2. Sancidino
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Keep for watford at least, even Allison would be getting returns against that defence

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping this week but will reassess next week.
        Not against selling him.

      4. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not delivering the best value atm. Aurier looking like a good alternative if Spur can keep a few cleanies.

    18. Sancidino
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martial a good diferential?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ah this again.

        1. Sancidino
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Good price, great player, nice fixtures...

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I know but then you’ll be cursing the day you bought him again ina few weeks.

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Probably not the best because of injury potential and Rash form, but you can risk atm and see what will happen

      3. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yes but his injury problems are irritating

    19. tibollom
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hi guys, 2FT and 0.4 ITB with WC left to play.. really want rashford..

      KDB + Greenwood to Cantewell and Rashford?

      Heaton Button
      TAA Rico Dunk Lunds Chilwell
      Mane Son Zaha McGin KDB
      vardy tammy greenwood

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        No. I'd rather WC than do that so wait.

        1. tibollom
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          thanks mate, what you reckon I should do then?

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            For this week, maybe just McGinn to Grealish then maybe your proposed move next week.

            1. Pep Pig
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              McGinn to Grealish is an excellent suggestion

            2. tibollom
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks guys, will do that...

      2. Pep Pig
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I think KDB is going to score well this weekend mate. It may seem like you have to use a transfer knowing you have 2FT. Though looking at your team, the 3-5-2 on offer is excellent this week.

        1. tibollom
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks mate, which 3 defenders you looking at?

          1. Pep Pig
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            TAA Lundstram and Chilwell for me (Dunk, Rico, Greenwood would be my benching order)

              Thanks alot for the feedback, just did that..

              Heaton
              TAA Lunds Chillwell
              Mane Son KDB Zaha Grealish
              Vardy(C) Tammy(VC)

                I too fell into the Zaha trap (so far anyway). Though it will add a bit of interest to Monday evenings game so good luck.

      Anyone actually holding Tomori? I need a defender but will probably chuck Pieters instead.

      Reason is I think we know Rudiger is nailed so it is one spot between 3. Zouma and Christensen were dreadful last PL time out and Frank was livid. I think the latter is way down the order now and gets bullied too easy. I'm not even sure Tomori as even dropped because he has been carrying an injury that eventually needed rest. Also Rudiger could break down again.

      At his price I am happy to hold as a 5th defender I think. If it looks like Zouma will win the battle I will admit defeat or even get Zouma in for the same price if Chelsea look better at the back. Kante is key to that happening I think.

      1. Sancidino
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Holding so far, but if he doesnt play bournemouth I think he is hitting the road

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Shipped him after first game he missed. How bad is injury?

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Minor i believe

      3. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Shipping next week

      Would you play Martinelli over one of:

      Lund
      Kelly
      Soy
      Pulisic

      Or bench?

      1. quayle99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Should add, up top he'd be alongside vardy and Abraham

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Would bench Martinelli

      3. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bench

      4. ResultatFar
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bench for now, he might be useful in other games than against City

    22. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Want to upgrade Tielemans to Son next week and Jimenez to Abraham after that.

      Which downgrade would you make next week afford these moves?

      A) Pulisic to Grealish
      B) Mane to KDB
      C) TAA to Maguire/Evans/Cahill

      1. quayle99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        A, maybe C to Evans

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        C for a hit next week.

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          If Pulisic delivers ill be tempted to keep him for longer

      3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not B

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yup will be tough getting him back too if I sell Mane.

          One of Pulisic or TAA only.

    23. J to the T
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pope
      Trent lunds Soy
      Mane sterling Zaha Ali
      Vardy (c) Jiminez Ings
      (Pope Kelly Dunk Cantwell)

      A) save FT
      B Sterling -> Son
      C Sterling & Jiminez -> Son & Rashford (-4)

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Might as well save if you still have Raheem

    24. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you still had your WC would you use it GW18 or GW19? (Have Mane & VVD)

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Probably GW 20 once the top 3 have played each other.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          As in for gw 20

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers

        2. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Can’t too late still on 1st WC.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            For gw 20. So once he 19 has started

      Is it worth swaping kane to Abraham this week ? Maybe getting kane back on the following week (lol).

      No other transferences needed on my team... so its either that or save the FT. (could also consider rashford?)

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Would sell him for either of those two tbh.

        1. migas2k7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          even after the 16pointer?

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Son is much better and I wanted Rashford.

    26. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone else feel like it’s Harold time?
      Wasn’t keen all season but under Jose he seems ready to kick on and I’m looking at options to get him in.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just sold him for Rashford last night.

        Alli & Son are better value and Son is more captain-able.

        1. KDB4PREZ
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Brave decision goodluck! I really wanna c United vs smaller teams with low block before I jump on him tbh but obv done great so far. Double with Ali&son may be on the cards but feel like Harry gona smash it over Xmas

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            If he smashes it even Son & Alli will be smashing it.
            Rashford and Tammy can easily match Kane for much less not many mids are performing like Son & Alli.
            Ill be using the money to upgrade Tielemans to Son next week already have Alli.

            1. KDB4PREZ
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Fair point mate cheers and gl

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No not yet.

        Harold who?

        1. KDB4PREZ
          • 4 Years

          Bishop!

    27. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Easiest hold ever?

      Henderson
      TAA - Kelly - Soyoncu - Lundstram
      Salah - Mane - Son - Maddison
      Abraham - Vardy

      Webster / Cantwell / Greenwood

      1. ResultatFar

        Nice Salah-Mane double, hold for this gw, you need both transfers for the next

    28. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Are we playing safe frm now till new yr or is it hits galore?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Maaybe be better to be conservative and take hits if needed to fix leaks as they appear rather than plan any.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Well with the fixtures, its hard enough deciding who to bench, let alone thinking about transfers or dare I say hits.

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I am going to try avoid hits.

      After the Liverpool's blank thinking Abraham/Pulisic for;

      A. Mousset + Salah
      B. Rashford + Grealish

      Current front 8 is;
      Son, Alli, Mane, Pulisic
      Jiminez, Abraham, Vardy

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        B (but only 7 in your front 8)

    30. ZakyJ

      My Team:

      Gazza, Button

      Mane, Sterling, KDB, Tielmans, Cantwell
      Abraham, Vardy, Greenwood

      0.4ITB 2FT

      Talk to me...

      Sterling for Son is obvious
      Then what? upgrade Greenwood, replace Tomori, replace Teilmans

      Thanks

        • 6 Years

          Tiels change was going forward.
