Top 20 Strikers ‪I Ep: 141

How are you guys feeling about forwards? Are you feeling like you need to get one by a certain time frame? I feel like this is the one field position where I feel really comfortable to kind of punt.

If I don't have someone following me that I like early, I'm happy to punt and just kind of play the market.

You only have to start one And it's like kind of, you know, and like you might get lucky and you might be able to find someone late.

If you see what the most common formation was last season in fan tracks, I swear, I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it was one

up front with five defenders.

Five for one, probably.

Yeah, five for one.

Because that's all I, at the end of the season, that's one of the reasons.

I only put one guy up front because that's all I had.

One decent striker and everything else was defenders and midfielders.

It works.

I'm not crying.

Unless you get number one pick and I get Haaland, you know, and do I even pick up Haaland, number one pick? I don't know.

Maybe I get Bruno Fernandes and then I'm

really fucked.

So last year in our 10-man league, in the first three rounds, every player had at least one forward.

But everyone had midfields, multiple, and there was only two defenders taking it in the first three rounds.

Yeah, makes sense.

Yeah.

But I also think that, like, the forward position is, like, lighter than it was.

You know, like, I don't think there are as many forwards that are as, like, you know, like, Alexander Isak is, like, not as the force he once was.

I just feel like that position, like, there's a lot of the guys, like, that Raul Jimenez is and, like, people like that are gone.

You know, Mateta didn't have a great season last year.

So even though I think he ends up being on some of these lists, like, he's not the force he was.

You know, there's just not a lot of, like, I just don't think there's a lot of, like, really great names out there.
