Fantasy Premier League 2017-18: Players to pick for Gameweek 5

Forwards

August is over and Harry Kane is back

11. Harry Kane: Long Term

The Englishman had a stellar game against Everton as he scored twice to lead his team to a 3-0 victory over the Toffees. Kane had disappointed a lot of Fantasy Premier League managers during the month of August, but has repaid it dutifully to those who continued to keep faith in the forward.

Kane's price may bother a lot of managers but we believe that in the long term there is no better option than him.The imminent game against Swansea City makes Kane a solid shout for captaincy. The Swans have been impressive this season but there is little chance they will be able to hold out away from home against an ace attack from the Lilywhites.

10. Jamie Vardy: Long Term

Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has started the season in great form and we expect him to continue. Backed by an in-form Leicester midfield, the forward will surely get the service he desires. The player is also in charge of penalties for the Foxes, giving him an edge over several other options in the same price range.

With 3 goals in his last 4 matches, Vardy seems to be an obvious choice, especially with the kind of fixtures Leicester City have in the near future. The Foxes travel away to Huddersfield who were off to a great start but were finally defeated by West Ham.

9. Romelu Lukaku: Long Term

Lukaku is a complete beast at Home

With a pick percentage as high as 57%, not picking Romelu Lukaku in the Fantasy Premier League could heavily backfire. The Belgian is in pristine form and scored yet again, on his Champions League debut for United. The player has benefited with a creative midfield at United but Paul Pogba's injury might cause the Red Devils some worry.

With another home game for United against Everton, it will be interesting to see whether Lukaku is able to maintain his fine home form and deliver against his old team.
