The Working Class: Strikers costing £6m-£10m Honourable Mention: Newcastle’s Pappis Demba Cisse(£5.9m, 4g, 1a, 6bps).Īvoid: Stoke forwards (two words that don’t go together), Samuel Eto’o (old), fur knickers. With an ownership of less than 5%, Sakho can be a solid third striker for your team and a great differential. This weekend’s match-up with City aside, West Ham don’t face back-to-back fixtures against top teams until GW 18-19 (Chelsea, Arsenal). West Ham’s Diafra Sakho (£5.7m, 4g, 2a, 9bps) has found the back of the net in each of his side’s last 4 fixtures and shows no signs of slowing down. With four goals in his last three matches the Burundi native may soon force himself into the sides of budget-minded FPL managers. West Brom’s Saido Berahino (£5.7m, 6g, 7 bps) is the most in-form striker in this category and one of the hottest in the Premier League.
With a relatively bland schedule as far as the eye can see, there’s no reason to believe he won’t continue to produce, however we’re unsure how the return of Ross Barkley will impact on his returns. The Everton man has bagged four goals in eight games while collecting a very handy eight bonus points for his efforts. If you’re looking for a budget striker, Ulloa could be your man for the next five weeks.Įverton’s Steven Naismith (£5.2m, 26.3% ownership) was another FPL favourite after starting the season as Everton’s main attacking focus while Romelu Lukaku played himself back into form.
There’s reason for hope, though: Leicester have a relatively easy schedule through GW13: Swansea (A), West Brom (H), Southampton (A), Sunderland (H) and QPR (A). Since then, he’s returned to planet earth and gone without a goal in his last three fixtures, rewarding his owners with a miserly total of five points over his last three games. Leicester’s Leonardo Ulloa (£5.8m, 20% ownership) was an FPL favourite after his sizzling start (5 goals in 5 games). At a minimum, these forwards can pair with a fifth midfielder to form a nice rotation based on form or fixtures. Usually the province of the part-timers and Zamora’s of the world, this season you can find a number of viable third striker options in this category. In past seasons you would only shop in this category if you were looking for a third striker to sit on the bench while you ran out a 3-5-2 formation. With an unprecedented number of viable forward options across all price levels, we thought this week we would take a look at this most-important of positions and present you with what we feel are the best options in each price range. We hope last week brought you pints of points and green, upward-trending arrows. By Lawdogg back and thanks for returning.
