The id of the static front page saved as an option name page_on_front. You can get it as $front_page_id = get_option(‘page_on_front’); Once you have it call get_post_field(). $content = get_post_field(‘post_content’, $front_page_id );
If you can live with manually deciding what your best posts are, Sticky Posts would be the way I´d choose. The Codex already has code for the 5 latest sticky posts: /* Sort Sticky Posts, newest at the top */ rsort( $sticky ); /* Get top 5 Sticky Posts */ $sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, … Read more

Note that when in context of WordPress “static” front page does not meant static literally. Usually it means page with certain content that stays same, as opposed to index/archive pages primarily filled with multiple posts that move with time.
