Where's the Welbeck option

Where's your João Pedro suggestion?Where's the Welbeck option
Salah. 7 goal involvements in his last 6 games (3 goals, 4 assists). Villa having a stinking time over their last four (1 draw v Muff and 3 losses) and Liverpool are the in-form side in Europe at the moment.
Haaland always a solid long term choice but obviously he's struggling a bit (as are City) at the moment, so you're taking a gamble on him refinding his form.
Solanke is a massive gamble so far. He's doing alright but if it's a choice between those three, he is obviously the weakest points returner and it wouldn't shock me if Ipswich turn up against Spurs in their current form.

Wot, no Wele, Wozza.
Or another way to look at it is Solanke scored twice plus an assist against Villa last week and scored again in Europe in the week. He’s in good recent form and playing against a promoted team at home.
Spurs are full of goals this season and are excellent at home.
Not sure how you can call him a massive gamble. According to this he’s joint favourite with the bookies to score (with Haaland)

The question is "which of THESE strikers..." and Welbeck isn't an option.You failed.

I’ve got to be honest, my fantasies tend to involve Shakira, Marisa Tomei and a hotel suite. But each to their own…

Yep
He’s a massive gamble because in FPL you’re looking for goals and assists and spurs are WILDLY inconsistent this season. They will batter West Ham on Sunday and lose to Galatasaray on Thursday.
If your choice is the top point scorer in two teams with a win rate of 80% vs a new signing in a team that wins 60% at best you’re taking a massive gamble choosing Solanke over Salah or Haaland
Did you actually read the question asked by the OP? He’s asking just about this weekend.
Also did you know Spurs are the top scorers in the Premier League this season?
The bookies have Solanke as joint favourite to score out of every player in the league this week.

Possibly less fantasy points as a result, admittedly, but glad I put faith in our boys today and subbed off the 'superstars' 
Still sticking to my no Palace or Chelski players rule too.

Pedant.....
He was asking about who to pick in his fantasy football side.
Goal and assist from Salah today. Pretty solid advice imo.
Solanke has a lot to do tomorrow to prove you right!
Haha now you’re twisting it. All I’ve said was choosing Solanke wasn’t a “massive gamble”. Regardless of what actually happens, that remains true.
