Fantasy Football: Three players you need this weekend

They say strikers win games, so here are three of them who you may want to consider sticking into your Fantasy Football team this weekend.

Wayne Rooney (Price: 10.2)

He may be a bit on the pricey side, but he is back after serving his 3 game suspension for his red card against Aston Villa. Big players shine in the big games and Louis vanGaal’s Man United will face no bigger than Man City.

Manchester will be split right down the middle on Sunday and Rooney could well play a massive part in the result. It would be a risky move for fantasy managers, but one that could just pay off. After all, Rooney has form in Manchester derbies.

Graziano Pellè (Price: 8.3)

If you haven’t put the Southampton hit man in your Fantasy Football team yet, stop reading and do it now. The man has been a revelation since his move from Feyenoord and is quickly filling the poster boy role left behind by Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert.

So far he has six goals in nine league games for the Saints, and it doesn’t look like he will be stopping when his side take on Hull. I think we’d all be pleased if he scored a few more of these this weekend.

Leonardo Ulloa (Price: 5.6)

Leicester take on West Brom at home, and will be looking to claim all three points after a slump from their early season good form. Ulloa started brightly this season, two goals in that famous game against Man United, but has struggled to hit the net recently.

Burnley could be the game where he finds his goal scoring touch again. There’s a bit of a risk with this one, but at a meagre cost of 5.6 million, it could be a risk worth taking this week.
