If you haven't tried Fantasy Premier League Draft, now is the ideal time to take on a new challenge over the remaining 34 Gameweeks and The Scout has some tips to guide you.
If your Draft league has four teams or so The Scout looks at strategies when selecting forwards.
Forwards in four-team leagues
In a four-team league only 12 forwards can be selected at any one time so managers have more opportunity to pinpoint big-hitters for their attacks.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has been one of the biggest targets in FPL Draft after the start of the 2018/19 season.
For his home match with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 1, the Fulham striker was mainly ignored.
Only an average of 35 out of 250 FPL Draft managers early on in four-team leagues named the Serb in their first XI.
Mitrovic on fire
But, Mitrovic was started by 145 owners for the Gameweek 4 match with Brighton & Hove Albion.
That rise in popularity is also mirrored in Fantasy Premier League, where Mitrovic is the second-most bought forward since the season started, transferred in by over 761,000 managers.
His four goals and an assist in the first four matches have brought 29 points, second only to Sergio Aguero’s 30 in the forward standings.
Morata more popular
Alvaro Morata’s run of four successive starts under new Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has also had a big effect in Draft.
The Spaniard was started by an average of 108 out of 250 managers in early leagues.
But his improved pitch time, as well as a Gameweek 2 goal against Arsenal, have boosted his popularity.
Morata has moved up to ninth for starts among forwards in the latest leagues, being picked by 122 managers for Gameweek 4's home match with AFC Bournemouth.
This is in stark contrast to FPL, where Morata has mainly been ignored due to the three-player-per-team quota.
With six of his team-mates owned by more than 14 per cent of FPL managers, Morata remains a major differential at 4.1 per cent ownership ahead of Chelsea's Gameweek 5 home match with Cardiff City.
