The Scout's panel of experts discuss their plans for suspended West Ham United forward Michail Antonio (£7.9m) and their forward lines as Fantasy Premier League managers rush to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) and Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m).
What the experts say

As an Antonio owner since Gameweek 1, I'm going to keep him through his ban. He's got great fixtures going forward and I know I'd want him back in.

Gameweek 4 proved exactly what I was expecting – Lukaku and Ronaldo have shifted the FPL goalposts. Suddenly we need to seriously consider moving some of the budget to the forwards so that we have a premium asset in every position.
I think Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) will be important over the course of the season, so I'm backing Lukaku, who will face a Tottenham Hotspur defence ravaged by injury and suspension in Gameweek 5.
Alongside them, there are plenty of players offering good value. Raul Jimenez (£7.4m) has been unlucky not to return so far, Teemu Pukki (£5.9m) has really nice fixtures, and Antonio could still provide good returns for owners who stay loyal.

I like the idea of going with one premium forward because I think we will all be looking at Lukaku in Gameweek 7 anyway due to his fixtures. He looks odds on for a 200+ point season.
With Antonio, selling him depends on how your squad looks this week because he has good fixtures in Gameweeks 6 and 7.

With Ronaldo, Lukaku and Harry Kane (£12.2m) as viable options in the premium forward bracket, it is definitely worth having one slot for a big-hitter up front. Don't sell Antonio to fund it though - he only misses one match and faces Leeds United and Brentford afterwards.

Everything Chelsea are doing is oriented around Lukaku. He has hit the ground running - and then some. The Spurs defence lacked leadership without Eric Dier (£4.6m) against Crystal Palace. If he's not fit, Lukaku could even be a captaincy shout for Gameweek 5.

One premium forward makes sense but maybe two is the way to go. I still think there are plenty of cheaper forwards who will do well but a forward line with Lukaku and Ronaldo looks great.
Paul Gee (@FPLPaulGee)
With Ronaldo and Lukaku both scoring highly, this has confirmed we need at least one premium asset up front. Personally going off the fixtures alone, I would go with Ronaldo and then switch to Lukaku in Gameweek 7. It might be worth holding on to Antonio as that Leeds fixture looks very tasty.
Tom Cantle (@WGTA_FPL)
Managers are making all kinds of sales to fit in premium forwards, but I'd advise against sacrificing Alexander-Arnold to make it work. He's already on 34 points, carrying on from last season where he was the top-scoring FPL player across the final 10 Gameweeks.
