2. Pro

Taking the data to the budget players, it’s Wolves pairing Jota and Jimenez who are way up the rankings. Wilson could be worth the extra money over King afterall.

5. Drew

Top of the bench picks is Mason Greenwood. He’s the go to from the 4.5 forwards and Manchester United fan, Drew, thinks he could be more than just bench fodder.

11. Tipz

FPL Tipz completes the forward discussion with a note on Marcus Rashford. He’s not a popular pick in the game but could be worthy of inclusion, especially if Lukaku departs.

8.5 ST,

Scoring in pre season,

Nailed on with a pricey new contract.

Scored plenty in the new Ole system…

Decent opening fixtures

Is Marcus being overlooked? ? #fpl @OfficialFPL pic.twitter.com/oP9mBy633h
