Fantasy Premier League: 5 Strikers You Should Buy In The Transfer Window
2. Danny Welbeck (6.5-7.5m)
Current Price: 7.2m Popularity: 6.7% of Teams Points per game played: 4.93 Appearance Rate: 70% (10 Starts, 4 Subs) Goals: 7 (0.5 per game played) Assists: 2 (0.14 per game played) Danny Welbeck may not have the raw season-long statistics to back him up like Suarez and Rooney do, but he has something they both lack; outstanding recent form. The youngster has scored 5 goals in his last 5 Premier League appearances, and is excelling in the absence of Robin Van Persie. The major questions surrounding Welbeck is whether he'll be able to keep his place when the Dutchman returns is another question. Form is fleeting, but he could be well worth the punt for a canny manager, provided you keep an eye on his playing record and the progress of Van Persie's injury.
