The best FPL forwards for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard

Having already assessed the best goalkeepersdefenders and midfielders on offer, our position-by-position analysis of the stand-out Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard continues as we take a look at the forwards.

All stats taken from this article are from our Premium Members Area.

BEST PREMIUM FORWARDS

Lukaku on target as Chelsea assets prosper at Arsenal

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) may now be 36-years-old, but remains one of the world’s best players. The Portuguese scored 29 Serie A goals for Juventus last term, averaging 5.4 shots per match, and will surely pose a serious threat now at Old Trafford. 

Following an isolation period, Ronaldo could feature for Manchester United in their next Premier League outing, an appealing Gameweek 4 fixture against Newcastle United at home.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) looks like an equally enticing prospect.

The Belgian enjoyed the most productive season of his career for Inter Milan last term, scoring 23 goals and providing 11 assists for the Serie A champions.

Since his move to Chelsea, he has scored against Arsenal and already racked up 10 goal attempts in just two appearances. 

The Blues have a particularly appealing schedule from Gameweeks 7 to 11, but getting him in early could pay off, with Aston Villa up next at Stamford Bridge.

However, during the international break, Lukaku revealed that he has been nursing a minor injury and will have a scan on his thigh. It certainly doesn’t sound too serious, but of course, is one to monitor ahead of deadline.

Elsewhere, with Ronaldo and Lukaku dominating Fantasy discussion, it does perhaps feel like Harry Kane (£12.3m) is going a little under the radar. Last season’s golden boot winner returned against Watford in Gameweek 3, and will now hope to open his 2021/22 Premier League account at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Also consider…  

Jamie Vardy (£10.5m) has a tough fixture against Manchester City up next, but it is worth noting that he has scored eight times against Pep Guardiola’s side in the last five years, and follows it up with games against Brighton and Hove Albion (a), Burnley (h) and Crystal Palace (a).

BEST MID-PRICE FORWARDS

Five-time top 1k FPL finisher Tom Freeman on Calvert-Lewin, Wolves and his Gameweek 2 plans 6

For Wildcarders, picking the Premier League’s most in-form striker Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is a bit of a no-brainer. 

The West Ham United forward has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, producing double-digit FPL hauls in each of the opening three Gameweeks. 

Given his history of hamstring problems, the only real concern is his schedule. Antonio has featured for Jamaica during the international break, while the Hammers Europa League campaign kicks-off next week.

However, on current form, he does feel like a must-have, and if he were to pick up an unfortunate injury there are at least plenty of alternatives we can turn to at a similar price.

Everton’s start to life under Rafa Benitez has been promising, with two wins and a draw from their opening three fixtures. During that time, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) has netted three goals, and providing he can recover from injury in time for Gameweek 4, looks like an excellent option to lead our lines. 

As the focal point of Everton’s attack, with penalties in his locker too, Calvert-Lewin could be an effective set-and-forget option.

Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) also deserves a mention here having blanked in only one of his three outings so far. After Gameweek 4 has passed, Leeds United’s fixtures are excellent, and with an ownership of just 12.3%, is perhaps going under the radar.

Raul Jimenez (£7.4m), who currently sits in just 2.8% of FPL squads, has blanked in each of his first three fixtures, but could do well when you consider that Wolverhampton Wanderers face Watford (a), Brentford (h), Southampton (a) and Newcastle United (h) next.

It’s also worth noting that he is the only Premier League player to register double-figures for both shots and chances created so far this season:

Also consider…

Callum Wilson (£7.5m) has already scored twice for Newcastle United, though it has been reported that the Magpies no. 9 could be out for a number of weeks due to a thigh injury. 

Danny Ings (£8.0m) has made a real impact since moving to Aston Villa, scoring on his debut, before then netting an excellent overhead kick on his home debut. However, his immediate fixtures – Chelsea (a), Everton (h), Man Utd (a) and Spurs (a) – do suggest that there are better options available on a Wildcard.

That could be his replacement at Southampton, Adam Armstrong (£6.0m), who is a nice cheap option to go alongside the premiums. After scoring on his debut, he was involved in the goal in the 1-1 draw against Man Utd, and also won the late penalty which saw the Saints grab a point at Newcastle in Gameweek 3.

That leaves Ivan Toney (£6.4m) and perhaps Chris Wood (£6.9m) as alternatives, though it does feel like other forwards have the more appealing schedules.

BEST BUDGET FORWARDS

The best FPL forwards for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard 1

Having dropped to £5.9m, Teemu Pukki is the standout budget option on offer. The Norwich City forward scored 26 goals in the Canaries Championship-winning side last term, and converted a penalty against Leicester City in Gameweek 3 after a couple of testing opening matches against Liverpool and Man City.

His next five fixtures suggest that he could be a shrewd pick, too:

Below Pukki, options are limited.

The majority will struggle to see enough minutes, but Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) and perhaps Josh King (£5.5m) could be the exception, especially with Troy Deeney and Andre Gray departing Vicarage Road.

However, it is worth noting that Dennis took up a wider role against Spurs in Gameweek 3, with King operating through the middle, which is something to keep an eye on moving forward.

    We will probably never find out the truth about Firmino’s fitness

        Cheers, I suppose Jota has to come in!

    News coming in of Fifa pushing ahead to ban those who didn't go to their international games.

    Take with pinch of salt please source may not be accurate but worth looking into before making transfers

    I tweeted from my own account who could be affected based on the rumour that the ban is happening.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      You're using yourself as a source?

        2 years, 6 months ago

        No? I said take with pinch of salt that it may not be reliable but to be aware that this was just going around before doing transfers.

        I retweeted the below original source and made my own judgements

        https://mobile.twitter.com/askomartin/status/1435356740137148424

          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          This rumour has been going around for weeks though, it's not new, BBC only put up a story about it about 2 days ago yet didn't have any further information in it than what people knew from what was in FIFA's rules

          1. g_jannyg
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            The BBC put an article today saying the clubs still don't know https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58470358

            There are now further although unconfirmed rumours of this now being enforced.

            What is the issue of me saying to beware before making transfers tonight but to take with pinch of salt?

            1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              There's no issue but it's the same info as before that most people here have known since before GW3, that a number of Brazilian players may not be available for GW4, either due to quarantine (which we now know isn't happening as they haven't travelled) or as FIFA can sanction clubs by not allowing players that were blocked from travelling from playing up to 5 days after the last international fixture was supposed to be played. Nothing wrong with the info or warning, but it's not new or factual about a ban

            2. ksmith5666
              • 14 Years

              There is a quote in that article - "Wolves, Newcastle, Watford and Blackburn will all lose players this weekend after complaints from the Chilean, Mexican and Paraguayan associations"

              However Jimenez, for example, is not flagged on FPL. More confirmation is required.

    2. Yank Revolution

      WC team. Players in CAPS I already own, pre-WC.

      SANCHEZ/Steele
      TAA/SHAW/Semedo/AMARTEY/B. Williams
      SALAH/BENRAHMA/RAPHINHA/Jota/Allan
      ANTONIO/DCL/Ronaldo

      0.0 itb

      Players sold on this WC include: Foster, White, Tsimikas, Bruno, Wilson, Brownhill.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn't wildcard

    3. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For a start, FIFA can't do sweet FA over the Brazilian players, since Brazil officially deselected them.

    4. CrouchDown
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who would this rule out?

      1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Most likely no raphinha, allison, ederson, firmino, thiago silva, fabinho, jesus, jimenez, sirealta, almiron

        1. CrouchDown
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers

      FIFA are a complete joke if that’s the case after the debacle in Brazil. Do PL have to comply? They must have appeal right if FIFA make such a decision

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Absolutely. You cant get players to quarantine for 14 days on arrival. Plays 2 or 3 games and then quarantine in Croatia for 10 days as well. It will be the next international break before they can play again, which they couldn't do anyway as they would have to leave two weeks before the international break started. Fifa are a joke

  4. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How's this looking fellas?

    Sanchez
    Shaw Dias Rudiger
    Salah Greenwood Raphina Benrahma
    Ronaldo Antonio DCL

    Foster, White, Gilmour, Livramento

    0.5ITB

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      U look up, I'll look down 😉

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood is a talent, but makes me nervous for PT. Get Foster outta there. D seems too expensive (Rudiger AND Dias?) and I dont like going without TAA, ever.

      7/10

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        thanks for the feedback. Who should I get for Foster?
        Do you think I should downgrade Rudiger to a 4.5 and replace Dias with TAA?
        Ayling maybe?

        1. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Steele so have Brighton back up keeper too

    3. golly28
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      TAA surely a must?

    4. One Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Greenwood and bring in a Pool defender maybe even also bring in Meslier to rotate with Sanchez. Good team tho.

  5. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the Toney replacement in GW5? Budget of approximately 6.8

    A) Pukki
    B) Dennis
    C) King
    D) Anyone else?!

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Armstrong, although he has City so I'd wait until GW6.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you mean for after GW5 what about Armstrong? He's in a pretty attacking team and apart from GW7 v Chelsea he has pretty good fixtures from GW6

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Armstrong

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      why waste a transfer on him for other weak players when he can always pop up with a goal … just let him sit there and concentrate on better moves or sell him as part of a WC?

  6. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best WC team in the world?

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Shaw - Dier
    Salah - Jota - Torres - Raph
    Antonio - Ronaldo - Jimi

    1. golly28
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Actually I quite like this. Although not convinced by all the Wolves hype

    2. MountainBeach
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      bench?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        either in prison, disabled or pure ****

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Torres might not play again in the PL once UCL starts.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Pick Sarr instead

    4. EugeMurts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota and Torres are rotation risks

  7. golly28
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ok I think my wildcard is settled. I don’t like 3-5-2 but got to be 7 attackers. Thoughts? GTG?

    Sanchez
    TAA | Dias | Reguillon |
    Salah | Jota | Benrahma | Torres | Raphinha
    Ronaldo | Antonio

    Subs: Dennis, Amartey, Duffy, Steele

    Dennis and Duffy good back up subs.

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like it a lot. Maybe Amartey > Livramento if you have the extra 0.1

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sarr over Torres

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      imagine Jota, Benrahma & Torres all benched the same gameweek 😉

  8. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres Jota Greenwood all rotation risk so the answer might be....Mount! Anyone agree or rather punt on Torres with better short term fixtures?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota's only real threat is Firmino and he's out for at least 2 matches. Even when Firm is healthy, I think Jota will cement his place as an every week player.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is he out for at least two matches? Have seen reports of anywhere from 1 - 4 but with no confirmation.

    2. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      i would go Mount over Torres, am tempted to bring him in as no Lukaku

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      From GW 7 yes, for sure

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood is cementing himself in the line up until Rashford is back. I’d worry then

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How do we know that Mount is less of a rotation risk than the others?

  9. jackoasean
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I’m going for golden boot Kane over the ronaldo band wagon

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good4u

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3 London derbys in a row, Kane wants to be the bigger man?
      The best differential money can buy

      1. jackoasean
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Raya

        Duffy TAA Dier
        Salah Torres Greenwood Benrahma
        Antonio DCL KANE (C)

        Subs livremento Gilmour Williams ward

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          u started with Raya? I know that isnt wc team

          1. jackoasean
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            No it’s not, had him in from the beginning.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably worth a punt. You will shoot up the rankings if it pays off.

    4. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kane holder myself, and had every intention to keep this week. But the Son injury concerns me. Those 2 get their big scores due to working with each other.

  10. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) 4.5 def, TAA
    B) Shaw, Rudiger

    Which one?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ayling?

    2. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is Ayling the best 4.5 option?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Are there any spurs or wolves defenders at 4.5?

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Coady at 4.5 looks good.

          2. OneDennisBergkamp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Marcal for me

            1. MountainBeach
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              he's nailed on?

          3. MountainBeach
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Sanchez for Spurs

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Depends really.
          Ayling best 4.5 for attacking potential
          Coady best 4.5 for CS potentail.
          Or a gambit on getting the right 4.5 spurs starter.

  11. Pulp Minion
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Fernandes out for Ronaldo in
    Which of these is better:

    1) Fernandes + Toney -> Benrahma + Ronaldo
    2) Fernandes + Ings -> Jota + Ronaldo

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Firmino is out for a while then probably 2

      1. Pulp Minion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that's what I was thinking. There is also Torres and Gray.

        1. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Good choices currently looking at Torres and Jota on WC maybe

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2

  12. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Conor Gallagher anyone?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      who is that? Character from shameless?

      1. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        haha, second highest points per game on FPL midfielders

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😀

    2. Pulp Minion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Prefer Gray at that price point.

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ESR for now, but a good watchlist option for when the fixtures ripen.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      nah, drop to 4.5 and upgrade someone else

  13. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Still lingering over the trigger, would love some thoughts on below. Would you WC or do one of the other moves

    Current team
    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Dier White Amartey
    Salah Bruno Son Benrahma Gilmour
    Antonio Ings Obafemi

    WC
    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Semedo Dier White Livramento
    Salah Jota Torres Benrahma Allan
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

    A: WC (Benrahma/Semedo could be Raph/Marcal)
    B: Ings > DCL
    C: Ings Bruno > Ronaldo Torres/Jota (-4)
    D: Ings Son > Ronaldo Sarr/Traore (-4)

    1. Bobby Digital

      2 years, 6 months ago

      E roll a transfer

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Really?

        could get priced out or left behind with all the in demand players I don't own

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or take out Son only if he's injured

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah just seen that flag. Will probably wait till Thursday before making any decisions. Wont have chance to get on on Friday unfortunately

  14. squ1rrel

    How's this WC?

    Sa
    TAA - Rudiger - Tierney
    Salah - Torres - Raph - Sarr
    Ronaldo - DCL - Antonio

    Steele - Livra - Sissoko - Williams

  15. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A)Tierney and price myself out of Toney>Jimenez next GW
    B) Brandon Williams and keep money ITB

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Williams not an entity you'd want to start week in week out

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        For sure, he would be last on my bench……this is a matter of a Tsimikas replacement to get Jota in……I’d start Livramento against West Ham this week if I got Williams. Rest of the defence is TAA Shaw Ayling

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if you need to play them, Williams more than fine for your bench.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B. But if you don’t need to do it this week just do it next.

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, I would have to do it this week to accommodate Jota

  16. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you WC this team? I have 2 FT & £0.5m ITB

    Sánchez | Foster

    TAA | Shaw | Ayling | Tsimikas | Livramento

    Salah | Bruno | Son | Raphinha | Benrahma

    Antonio | Toney | Perica

    Thinking of this move at the moment -
    OUT: Bruno & Perica
    IN: Sissoko & Ronaldo

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

      Anyone with 2fts and money itb doing a WC is wild to me. Not even reading your team.

      1. Bounce
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nonsense.

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          You asked!

          And reading your team - it’s freaking great (like just about everyone’s on here)! Do those transfers if you want, they might make your team better they might not.

          For me I’d upgrade Toney to Ronaldo and Bruno to a playable cheap mid (Gray maybe).
          Use the cash next week to really upgrade Tsimikas to a 5.0-5.5 or something. (Or maybe do all 3 this week for a hit).

          1. RogDog_jimmy
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Can you do
            Bruno + Toney + Tsimi > Gray + Ronaldo + Rudiger/Christenson?

            1. Bounce
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              0.2 off doing those moves with Christensen.

              1. RogDog_jimmy
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Dang - that's a close one.
                wouldn't feel great dropping below Gray for someone who will play.

                Maybe White is a decent idea then - but I would wait on that move and not take a hit.

          2. Bounce
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Okay thank you. Toney to Ronaldo only leaves me 4.5 to replace Bruno.

            1. Bounce
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Sorry, ignore that. I'm still thinking of Perica.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      wait for GW7, just fix bad things with FT.
      Take Tsimi out already

      1. Bounce
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No point wasting a FT on Tsimi if WC'ing in GW7.

  17. Avery
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Preference ?

    A. Mount
    B. Torres

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B, GW7 for Mount

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Torres might start UCL, meaning rotation for PL.

      Who knows

  18. AF90
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is there a chance of any 3.9 defenders anytime soon? 0.1 off my ideal team. Thanks

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      that Norwich guy maybe

    2. Bounce
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No but there's a 4.4 MID

  19. AF90
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Rudiger worth the 0.5 extra over Christensen?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup - More certain of starts. T. Silva is due back plus Christensen just played 3 games for Denmark.

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is it ok going against the template?

    Raja Foster
    TAA Alonso Reguilon Duffy Livra
    Salah Torres Benrahma Gray Murphy
    Jesus Ronaldo Antonio

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sure. Like the Jesus pick

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      of course, it can work both ways.

    3. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you post about 10 times that Jesus and Torres are nailed, that you have to be on them, now post 'is it ok if i pick them, its not template'?

  21. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What % chance do you think Ronaldo starts?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      99.9%

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      At more than 500k a week in wages I reckon very good.

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo will just take the team sheet and scribble his own name on it.
      Of course he starts.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm 92% certain he starts against The Young Boys.
      I'm 72% he comes on to the rapture at OT.
      Makes perfect sense. Cheers Ole!

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Greenwood > Ronald 64th minute.
        Score at the time 1-0 Utd. Slabhead goal, Shaw assist.

        Full time score 1-0.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He looked dangerous though.

      2. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You getting him sir?

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          No doubt, It's the timing that;s crucial for me.
          I may wait for one g/w of pain and I'm hoping that it aint this New. one with Champ about to kick in.
          Loving the buzz though.!

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I’m on him too… it’s inevitable to bring him in long term so why wait a week, even if a small chance we are let down

            1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Inevitable is a strong word; unless you are addressing something like death, which he is a lot closer too than most of the upstarts playing in the Prem. at present.
              Brown Stuff happens all the time and an injury v the Young Boys will of course scupper the Catholic "New World Order" of things.
              It's fluid innit! This game is reactionary.

            2. Utopsis
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Because of the person you'd be selling to fund him. 90min Bruno vs 30min Ronaldo - most would rather Bruno for one more week.

      3. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This still leaves me undecided. Could you please take these figures to the first decimal point for clarity.

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It depends on who you ask.

    6. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      wheel him out at 72 mins

  22. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is White back for the next GW?

    1. CrouchDown
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I assume so

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Should be, flag has gone and I haven't seen anything to suggest he'll miss again.

    3. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      yep, he played against Brentford a couple of days ago in a friendly.

      Clean sheet and won 4-0

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Were Brentford fielding their youth squad?

        1. klopptimusprime
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          wasn't full strength for due to international. However Gabriel and White partnership looks good for fixtures

  23. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    G2G? Anything worth a hit?

    Pickford

    TAA Shaw Coufal

    Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma

    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    Subs: Begovic, White Gilmour Livramento

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      GTG

  24. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which move looks best?

    A. Wilson & Ings -> Jimenez & DCL

    B. Barnes, Wilson & Ings -> Torres, DCL & Jimenez (-4)

    C. Bruno, Ings & Wilson -> Jota, Jimenez & Ronaldo (-4)

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A or C both good to me.

  25. shanebuckz
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who would ye pick between
    (A) traore
    (B) gray

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      well A, unless you are a close friend or relative of B

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  26. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I really hope Ole gives some clues that Ronaldo starts in his presser. United forums thinking he may well get a Varane presentation, or sub appearance... and its unlikely we will get a team leak with the deadline a few hours before!

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This is one aspect that is making me not do the Bruno > Ronaldo shift. Even though I can do it with 2fts.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I know

        I think I’ll do it mainly because I’d be more gutted not getting him and he hauls than I would be if I got him and he blanked!!

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          But what about if you get him and he blanks, and Bruno (who I'm guessing you're selling for him) hauls?

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Herd immunity… I’m sure the majority will be making this move too

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              It depends where the herd mentality comes from. There is definitely a big push for bringing in Ronaldo before GW4 on here, on Twitter, and on FPL YouTube channels for sure. Bruno still has 47% ownership though. It will probably end up being around 45% before GW4.

              1. FCSB
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Are you getting him?

                1. Amartey Partey
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Not for GW4 unless Ole says Ronaldo will definitely start, which I doubt he will say because that probably won't sit well with Cavani. From what I've seen with Solskjaer he doesn't like to upset any of his players so I think he will play it safe and keep both Cavani and Ronaldo happy by giving them both minutes against Newcastle. From GW5 onwards Ronaldo is certain to start every PL game that he can.

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I've seen so many reports. I'm definitely waiting until the presser before I confirm anything.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I just hope he says “yes, Ronaldo will start”

        1. ilikewud
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I don't know if he will be that specific but I certainly hope he is for all the owners.

  27. ilikewud
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Sa, 4.0
    TAA, Shaw, Rudiger, Coady, Williams
    Salah, Greenwood, Jota, Raphina, Brownhill (4.5)
    Pukki, Lukaku, Antonio

    0.0 ITB - Slightly concerned I have too much $ in the back.

  28. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    People wildcarding with James in their team already, ur being too smart, it will end in tragedy. FPL punishes moves like that, red card or something first game back

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think it's a fine move if you play more conservatively and you don't make many transfers.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think it's ok if they have a good bench player to cover. I've gone the more aggressive approach and chosen Alonso, with the idea to replace him with either James or Chilwell if Alonso gets dropped, which he probably will.

  29. C-Dawgg
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs v Palace away
    Liverpool v Leeds away

    Would you do Son > Salah for -4?

  30. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts?

    A) Ings to Jimi (-4)
    B) Ings to DCL (-4)
    C) Ings to Bamford (-4)
    D) Hold Ings and

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      D) And reassess next week
