2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
We're going to try something new this season. After the success we had with the budget defenders thread last season, we are going to experiment with big 'band' threads this season. We won't be stickying these, but if we see threads that are comparing like for like players, we might merge those in this rather than allow multiple threads which end up repeating previous discussions. We'll see how it goes...

I like Zaha at 7.0 considering the fixtures.

First draft has both Zaha and Giroud at the moment (transfers dependant obviously!!) But with France in the world cup still, I think Giroud will probably make way at some point to start.

Zaha and Arnie are in my team. I'm aware of Arnie's fixtures, but West Ham have a good team and a great coach, they can score against anyone.

Have Josh King in the draft now. Caused a bit of a stir complaining about not starting up top at the end of the season so hopefully he's been told he'll get the chance to lead the line. Very good player in my opinion with Wilson being more hot and cold and King being more consistent over a season.

Re: 2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
West Ham in the market for wingers, Yarmolenko and/or Anderson, with Masuaku and Antonio also there, and give the lack of options upfront coupled with Arnie's incredible season leading the line it would be foolish to have him on the wing.Vincent Black Shadow wrote: ↑09 Jul 2018, 11:01Bare in mind, in Pellegrini's (assumed) 4-4-2 with inverted Wingers, Arnie may not be upfront. But then again he may.
He's due to join up with the squad today and the next friendly, if not the one after should give the best indications either way.

Tosun finished the season well, could be good with Everton's fixtures.

Been on Zaha since my 1st draft but Tosun is interesting me. I'm also strongly favouring Siggy this season to come good, so not sure about the double Everton attack, Although they do have nice fixtures

Zaha and Wilson look like good shouts. Would prefer to find the extra 1.0 mil for Zaha if I would though.

Re: 2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
At this time my draft is Tosun Firmino Zaha and I have more liking for Zaha, as Crystal Palace were looking very determined and more together as a team and Zaha is an energetic enthusiastic presence thats sure to get him the most of CP points and bonus hopefully - so if one gets changed its likely to be Tosun out - its a great month for tinkering and every draft looks better than the last one.

The problem with that strategy is you leave yourself open to the risk of missing out on the prolific forwards and big captain points.wahine wrote: ↑10 Jul 2018, 08:51 At this time my draft is Tosun Firmino Zaha and I have more liking for Zaha, as Crystal Palace were looking very determined and more together as a team and Zaha is an energetic enthusiastic presence thats sure to get him the most of CP points and bonus hopefully - so if one gets changed its likely to be Tosun out - its a great month for tinkering and every draft looks better than the last one.
Aguero, Aubu, Kane are very prolific players that are capable of massive hauls.
If you run with that front line, you don't really have a suitable captain choice in your forwards, other than perhaps Firmino who is hit and miss, the other two would be considered punts, relying on midfielders can be risky too, very rarely do you get players scoring a hattrick or more from MF.
If one of Aguero, Auba or Kane start the season in blistering form, you will face struggles to bring them.
In my opinion, I think owning at least 1 premium forward is the most efficient approach, you can alternate between them quite easily when fixtures and form come into it.
One of those 3 are going to get a hattrick or more this season and a high chance of multiple hattricks, then you see the classic panic and scramble of managers trying to bring them.
Missing the hauls really sets you back, Kane's back to back hattricks last season really propelled me forward in my mini-league and Aguero's hattrick vs Newcastle and 4 vs Leicester.
Aubameyeng will be in red hot form at some stage and owning Kane + Auba will likely be template front line at some point.

Yep, for sure, but not until September, or more likely October this season (Obviously assuming he doesn't head off to RM.)ZeroRemorse wrote: ↑10 Jul 2018, 09:56The problem with that strategy is you leave yourself open to the risk of missing out on the prolific forwards and big captain points.

Re: 2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
yerp i see what you mean Zero...and i'm usually last out of the gates in FPL so perhaps i should listen to your advice, I normally cheer for Arsenal but they have let me down early in the season, expected to romp in and lose to the lowest teams so I just dont trust any more... Auba did have some great stats when he got in form but Arsenal V City? could be a goalfest could go either way, i wouldnt even have City coverage oops thinking so far out its fun but if Lukuku is late back Sanchez could be an early captain choice that might reap benefits in GW1?

West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic could be on his way to Manchester United or Roma, with the Hammers open to offers for the 29-year-old Austrian. (TalkSport) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip

Toys possibly come out the prom under pellegrini? He’s always had that attitude to his game has arnie. United were linked before the World Cup too. Roma would be a nice fit as every year Dzeko is linked with a move to another club.blahblah wrote: ↑18 Jul 2018, 10:09 West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic could be on his way to Manchester United or Roma, with the Hammers open to offers for the 29-year-old Austrian.

I've got Zaha as 3rd forward, will look to rotate him quite a lot though depending on their fixtures.

Re: 2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
I've opted for J.King and Tosen for now. The former's seems sure to start with Stanislas out and has a proven track record and good opening fixtures. Tosen's more of a gamble but he seemed to settle into the PL quite well and Everton's fixtures are worth the gamble imo, plus he can be switched out for Zaha/Arnautovic easily.

Re: 2018/19 Mid-price forwards 6.5-8.0
He's not yet listed, but I wonder if Sturridge will appear in this bracket at some point?
Wouldn't want him at Liverpool, probably wouldn't have him anyway due to his balsa wood legs! but if he were to sign for somebody like Bournemouth or Newcastle, and come in at 6-6.5, he'd be an interesting option/gamble
Wonder why they haven't listed him yet, are they waiting for him to leave Liverpool?

I’m on Chris Wood at the mo although that could change. His PPM was the same as Jesus last year and he has pretty good fixtures.

Tammy Abraham not listed yet. He'd be good for someone at the right price if he ain't as heavily relied on as last season at Swansea.
