Fantasy Premier League: 5 Strikers You Should Buy In The Transfer Window

4. Wayne Rooney (10-12m)

Current Price: 11.6m Popularity: 22.1% of Teams Points per game played: 7.17 Appearance Rate: 85% (16 Starts, 1 Subs) Goals: 9 (0.53 per game played) Assists: 11 (0.65 per game played) In what's been a disastrous Premier League for David Moyes' Red Devils so far this season, his one bright light has been the form of his former protégé Wayne Rooney, who's led the line for the Manchester outfit, with 9 strikes and 11 assists to date. He's also averaged over 7 points per game played, and has generally proven to be an outstanding performer for Fantasy football manager, in stark contrast to most of his colleagues at United. Injury worries have lingered, especially groin concerns, but with Manchester United out of the Cup, he's likely to be a central part of their push to at least salvage their Champions League place for next season. Recent form has been solid - 1 goal and 3 assists from his last 3 starts in the League. What's likely to worry potential buyers here would be the form of his colleague Danny Welbeck, the worry that he could be played out of position by David Moyes when Robin Van Persie returns, and his disciplinary record. He has 7 yellow cards in the league so far this campaign, and he'll be suspended soon on receipt of his next one. Nevertheless, his steady high points return is an extremely attractive selling point for the England stalwart.
