The best strikers to buy, sell and hold based on FPL goal threat from open play

With so many goals already this season, it’s all about strikers in Fantasy Premier League – but which ones should we sell, keep or buy?

We have already witnessed 103 goals over the first 28 matches of the campaign, an average of 3.68 per game. To put that into perspective, the previous Premier League record across the course of a full season was an average of 2.82 goals per game. 

With nets bulging up and down the country, it is natural to assume that the bulk of the goals will be scored by strikers and, with the new handball regulations leading to more penalties being awarded, it is only natural to favour front-men on spot kick duties.

The FPL Eye Test - Gameweek 3 3

For example, the following forwards take penalties for their respective clubs:

  1. Neal Maupay (£6.5m) – Brighton
  2. Chris Wood (£6.5m) – Burnley
  3. Richarlison (£8.0m) – Everton
  4. Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m) – Fulham
  5. Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) – Leicester City
  6. Callum Wilson (£6.4m) – Newcastle
  7. Danny Ings (£8.4m) – Southampton
  8. Harry Kane (£10.5m) – Spurs
  9. Charlie Austin/Hal Robson-Kanu (£5.4m) – West Brom
  10. Michail Antonio (£6.4m) – West Ham
  11. Raul Jimenez (£8.6m) – Wolves

CHECK OUT THE FULL PENALTY TAKERS LIST HERE

That’s a pretty large share out of the 20 teams. So, while 3-5-2 has been gaining popularity over the last few years, the number of penalty takers available at budget prices in forward positions may very well help cement the classic 3-4-3 as the preferred formation.

But do we want to be investing in strikers who rely exclusively on penalties? While there could be merit in that approach, surely we want to investing those who offer plenty of threat from open play as well.

So, let’s have a look how the league’s strikers have done so far using the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area.

    Which is the best midfield combo for a budget of 11m -
    1. Podence, Costa
    2. Burke, Townsend
    3. Burke, Foden

      1

    2. Konstaapeli

      Do you have to play both?

      1. subhojit123
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No...but will have to rotate with Dunne in defense

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Podence + Klich is my favourite for that formation 352

    ASM dodged another price drop, here's hoping he can last one more night...

      Still don't understand the Brewster hype here, another FFS train that lots board for no real reason

        4.5 for a playing striker.....

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah. In a decent side too. It would easily enable 4 big hitters

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 5 months ago

              That's actually my point lads, there was nothing stopping you doing that with another 4.5, sure nobody at 4.5 plays but if this is your ideal strat then surely you've done that anyway because the upgrades players with that price saving is who you want to play all the time?

              How often is Brewster gonna start for you? Very rarely, and even rarer that you time that with him getting points

              1. Pukki Blinders
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Can easily become starting quality... next cheapest starting striker is 5.5. Bit of a difference in price wouldn’t you say?

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    Yes 5.5 is a larger number than 4.5 , great insight!

                    Just pointing out he's not a cert to get points, and if you're saying ah he's 4.5 he enables funds then you could have done that any time really

                    1. The Big Fella
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      1) You're being a nob 2) nobody's bench plays that often in FPL but it is better if the bench plays in real life so when they are called on, you get points (even if it is 2). I don't see how after 7+ years of playing this you don't see the benefit of having a 4.5m first choice/first team playing striker

                    2. Pukki Blinders
                      • 4 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      Look at Greenwood last season, starting games at 4.5 and this season he’s priced at 7.5...
                      why would a non starting 4.5 striker be the same as a starting one? The ability to play Brewster every week is what makes him a potential bargain, I can’t see what your point is

          2. DRIZ ✅
            • 12 Years

            Free's up cash nothing about his skills

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 5 months ago

                I know that, my point is if your ideal strategy is having a 4.5 to enable upgrades elsewhere then why wouldn't you have done that anyway? As I doubt Brewster is gonna get many minutes in anyone's team starting

                1. Limbo
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Not the case. If he starts, then you could play him plus a huge midfield with a pair of premium strikers to boot.

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      What would your team be with him in then?

                    • Limbo
                      • 13 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      Eg.

                      Fernandez/KDB/Hamez/Salah
                      DCL/Vardy/Brewster

                        Exactly

                I have a 4.5m Forward in my team, name me a better option than Brewster.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    Youre the caveat and excluded as you've already got the 4.5 tactic, so Brewster totally makes sense for you

                    My comment is mainly aimed at people that haven't used that strategy and will do it just because of Brewster

                    i think im going to wildcard after this week for that very reason. will be benched most of the time but if he plays in gameweek 5 he is at home to Fulham. Welcome aboard Brewster!!

                    1. @persecuted_by_mods
                        3 years, 5 months ago

                        Yeah but if he's at home to Fulham he's still just a young striker playing for a not that good attacking team, who would you actually play him over

                    It's a no brainer at that price point

                    1. @persecuted_by_mods
                        3 years, 5 months ago

                        My point isn't he's bad, my point isn't that I don't understand a mostly starting 4.5 striker to upgrade elsewhere

                        My question is mainly if that's your main tactic surely you've done that already anyway, does Brewster starting make that much of a difference as surely most people will be benching like 90-95% of the time?

                        1. Sun Jihai

                          Well IMO, you can find good rotation options to play him for nice games and bench him for others e.g. Sheff Utd + Soton

                          (ARS) FUL (LIV) (MCI) (CHE) WHU WBA
                          WBA (CHE) EVE AVL NEW (WOL) (MUN)

                              Of course it's not impossible, I'm just pointing out the bandwagon is flying as if he's already amazing

                      • Mr. O'Connell
                        • 11 Years
                        3 years, 5 months ago

                        Got him on WC with Salah and Robbo. Need Trent but he's preventing that move due to 3 Pool. Only reason I'm happy about it tbh. I don't think Sheff U will score this season actually.

                        Also, a player gaining good TV on your bench vs. one like Burke (who could drop).

                        1. @persecuted_by_mods
                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            Okay good point there

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          He's an upgrade on my non-starting bench player Davis for sure.

                          Not a single comment/response supporting this opinion. I bet you said the same thing about Kane when he was 4.5m too 😉

                          He's a decent bench pick but wouldnt do it because it takes a liverpool slot

                              Tsimikas / Robbo are also options

                              1. Jebiga

                                Even Milner

                              Milner

                              N. Williams but they will probably be some jiggery-pockery and Milner will play there even though he prefers to play LB.

                              Jose Mourinho on Son Heung-min's chances of featuring in #GW4: "I don't believe. But because he is so optimistic and always trying to give us positive feelings and hopes, I don't want to say he is completely out - because maybe he can surprise us."

                              I think he is not going to say something more than what he already said

                            something like, "Sonny, I don't know, maybe, maybe not. maybe I trolled you all saying Sonny was injured to cover the bad decision I made to sub him off and manage his game time against NEW. Maybe not. I ssssink you will see on sunday"

                        Kane | DCL

                        Steer | Mitchell | Davis | Buur

                        Took a -4 this week (Son to Barnes & Wilson to DCL)

                        1.0m ITB for either Digne to Robbo or Bruno to Sterling next gameweek.

                        Thanks

                          Lacking City but nothing you can do given you have already taken a -4. You have some lovely differentials in there that would score big for you. GTG

                            Cheers mate, had a storming start and slightly annoyed to have taken the hit this week but given Son injury, DCL form and Leicester fixtures/form I’m hoping it pays off

                              I bet you did with both Son and Kane in GW2! 😉

                                Yeah mental, even last week nearly all of my players returned.
                                I’m sure the good luck will end soon haha

                            I guess ignoring the hit that has already been taken, is Bruno to Sterling worth a -4?

                        So is Brewster now the bargain you must have?

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          No. Still think 3-4-3 is the optimal formation and you want all 3 of your strikers to be top-notch. We have not seen Brewster even play yet for SHU

                            or could seriously pack a midfield with 3-5-2 and a likely playing forward as1st sub

                        Guys, other than FPL Blackbox and FPL Wire, which are other podcasts that are just as informative and stats-based as those two? I listen to Always Cheating and FPL General as well, but they seem to be more banter-based. I am after in-depth analysis podcasts.

                            After these rumors he's only going to rise. Don't forsee a drop.

                        I can already smell the delicious -4s from Burke to Brewster.

                            not really that's a hit guaranteed to pay off.

                              3 years, 5 months ago

                              How? Taking hits for bench fodders?

                                Surely the assumption is Burke would be upgraded to a better mid? Creating flexibility between 3-4-3 and 3-5-2

                                  I get that but why for a hit? Can easily be done for free and have the same outcome... it’s not like Brewster is due for a 15 haul

                              Only if you catch the points your fodder scores. Most times it'll be stuck on the bench.

                        Son and Mitchell to Barnes and Castagne worth -4 hit ?

                          I would, Castagne season keeper

                        Kane on a WC? Yes or no?

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          No

                          1. FPL Daniel
                            • 14 Years
                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            why not? I will captain him next GW? I watched the EL he looks amazing to me

                              • 4 Years
                              3 years, 5 months ago

                              When Son plays he looks like he’s playing as an AM... when Bale comes in I imagine it will be worse for Kane’s goal output

                          Not for me. Rather use money from Jimi / Ings / DCL in MF

                          1. FPL Daniel

                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            Ings fixtures worry me after WBA and I won't captain Ings

                              3 years, 5 months ago

                              I have Vardy + DCL - so it's Jimi for me.

                          Tentative yes. I actually really like Kane. And he's a differential.

                          I think definitely. Fixtures are lovely after the IB and it can be easy switch to Kun once back fit

                            I am tempted by Kane surely

                          and I just sold him. Great. But we need 3 playing strikers the time is like that

                        Sure not the first to ask this, however:

                        Werner to Jimenez for -4? My instict says no, but I'm worried about the market mooving

                          Jimmy hatrick against Fulham would be nice

                          Definitely no for a hit

                        Son & Werner > Barnes & Ings -4?

                          Could well feature on rough with the smooth next week in either camp.

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          I wouldn't do hits for players who are not injured or if it doesn't enable you to switch an injured player.

                          In your case, you can do Son to Barnes, without -4. So then I think no, don't take the hit.

                          Werner could easily outscore Ings, and then you are just throwing away points.

                          Really scrutinise the players your bringing in. You’ve got to be happy with them for the long term, even if they blank a couple of games.

                        How likely is ASM to play? And what about Podence, is he someone I could bring in for ASM?

                          Podence back in training and has been called up to the Portugal squad.

                            I’d sell ASM for Podence in a heartbeat.

                        Trying to reign in my aggressive attitude to taking hits this season, but this move is gnawing away at me.

                        Would you do JRod to Sterling(c) for -4 ?

                        1. Camzy

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          I would do it. It's a very strong upside chasing move and you have the funds to do it.

                          1. Twisted Saltergater
                            • 14 Years
                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            There’s always consequences to spending that budget though, which is what’s holding me back. I could upgrade 1 of my defenders to Trent or even Trent and Robbo, but I like playing the fixtures with defenders.

                            Digne, Saiss, James, Lamptey, Mitchell

                            Only Saiss is worth upgrading there imo, what do you think? I know TAA and Robbo give attacking returns but if I got them, I would never play Lamptey, who has great fixtures.

                          For sure

                          JRod is more of assist the assister

                          1. Twisted Saltergater
                            • 14 Years
                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            Yes, I think he may well be.

                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          You want to sell Rodríguez for a hit before a home game vs Brighton?

                          Who would you captain otherwise?

                          1. Twisted Saltergater

                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            I don’t want to, per se. I can see Sterling scoring double points and JRod isn’t on penalties as I had hoped.

                            Kdb(c) otherwise, which I may stick with even if I bring in Sterling.

                            1. Goonsquad245
                              • 7 Years
                              3 years, 5 months ago

                              I would a million percent keep and captain KDB.

                              Lateriser’s success last season has got everyone making crazy -EV moves this season.

                          Who is on penalties without Richarlison, Surely James...

                            Richarlison will probably start

                          me too. Wondered in the real transfer deadline might beat me 🙂
                          But watch his ownership go through the roof.

                            Looking forward for his cameo in my team and finally get the 3rd pool player

                        With Brewster almost done can already see benching headache next GW with this team. I had set it up for a 3-5-2. Please expect multiple posts seeking suggestions. Haha!

                          He's still playing for Sheffield United who don't create much

                          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

                            True but I would still chance it out with him playing Fulham next GW. There ain't a better time to test it out.

                              Something will prob happen over IB so you'll be well set with a good first bench option

                                Exactly my thought process right now...Hahaha!

                          I’d downgrade one to get a better defence

                          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

                            3 years, 5 months ago

                            Podence/ Foden/ Brewster on my assessment list!

                          Sheffield United - 0 goals

                          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

                            That is the reason they are buying him. Plus, I don't think they have lacked in creativity so much to have zero goals registered till now. Finishing has been poor. They even missed a penalty. And with Fulham next, Brewster deserves a chance! If only for that one game.

                        Own two players in a draft league that are considered injured but will chances to play, both with great fixtures so could use either of them ahead of Dier. Any news on Redmond/ Evans?

                          I think Redmond is out for a period

                          Looks fine. Werner isn't someone I like, but could produce vs Palace still so best to hold.
