Lawrence Shankland’s six to eight week lay off has robbed Heart of Midlothian of their top scorer and Fantasy SPFL of one of the league’s most selected attacking options.
Derek McInnes’ league leaders host the reigning champions in a blockbuster fixture in Week 23 but Fantasy bosses have already been scoping out options to replace the Scotland forward.
Many have turned to his Tynecastle team-mate Claudio Braga, who is a snip at just £6.6m. The Portuguese is one of 10 players to have hit the 100-point mark this term and is the most cost-effective option on this list.
Players who have budget to spare may turn their attention towards Martin O’Neill’s visitors with duo Daizen Maeda (£10.6m) and Benjamin Nygren (£10m) also through the 100-point barrier.
New Rangers forward Andreas Skov Olsen (£8.5m) is a popular pick following his arrival from Wolfsburg, sitting second in the most purchased list.
