It’s all-out attack in Fantasy Challenge this week as Fantasy managers get to pick a four-man forward line - as well as the compulsory goalkeeper.

Goals are worth DOUBLE points in Gameweek 2, so it’s about finding those sharp shooters for your team, which has to be selected within a £35.0m budget.

And there are still three fixtures to come, with plenty of time left to enter.

Here, Neale Rigg pinpoints the players and matches to target in the upcoming fixtures.

Sunday

14:00 BST Fantasy Challenge deadline
AFC Bournemouth v Newcastle
Wolves v Chelsea

AFC Bournemouth continue life without Dominic Solanke (£7.5m) on Sunday - but they might have his replacement in action for the first time.

Evanilson (£6.0m) is expected to be in the squad to face Newcastle United. Fantasy Challenge managers can have a quick check on the teamsheets ahead of kick-off before deciding whether to gamble on the 0.3 per cent-owned differential, who scored 13 league goals for Porto last season.

Alexander Isak (£8.5m), who notched 21 goals in 2023/24, is a more tried-and-tested alternative for the match at Vitality Stadium.

There’s a similar "proven asset v new signing" narrative at Molineux, too.

Nicolas Jackson (£7.5m), scorer of 14 goals last season, faces Jorgen Strand Larsen (£5.5m), the Wolverhampton Wanderers new boy who has arrived in the Premier League on the back of a 13-goal campaign in LaLiga.

16:30 BST Fantasy Challenge deadline
Liverpool v Brentford

Forwards might be in short supply at Anfield.

Darwin Nunez (£7.4m), Cody Gakpo (£7.4m) and Ivan Toney (£7.4m) all failed to make their respective sides’ starting XIs in Gameweek 1.

Yoane Wissa (£6.0m) might be the last man standing.

The Brentford striker is quietly posting some excellent numbers, delivering 12 attacking returns in his last 14 outings.
