We have picked out forwards for all budgets to help you build a team that can hit the heights without wasting a penny.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the latest FPL tips to sign the best forwards ahead of 2021/22.
Callum Wilson (Newcastle) – £7.5m
Newcastle haven’t enjoyed a strong summer of spending; they have lost a few fringe players and Joe Willock’s return – on loan – remains up in the air.
However, fans of the Magpies can rest easy knowing one thing: Callum Wilson scores goals. He simply gets on with it – half-chances, self-made chances, he’ll take plenty of them this season. He’s Newcastle’s main man and will play every minute he’s available.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) – £7.5m
Watkins grew into his debut season at the top of English football and a full summer off will see him return in fine fettle.
He be supported by an increasingly dangerous Aston Villa midfield that will include Emi Buendia in 2021/22. Should Villa cling onto Jack Grealish, they have more than enough creativity to transform Watkins into a 15+ goal striker. If Grealish leaves, he is still a great value option.
Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester) – £7.5m
Nigerian star Iheanacho initially struggled for game time at Leicester but has developed into a lethal, reliable striking option for the Foxes. He scored 10 in his last 12 appearances of the season and there’s no reason he can’t maintain his form.
Jamie Vardy showed a few signs of decline last season and his involvement could decrease over time if Iheanacho can start the campaign in good form.
Harry Kane (Tottenham) – £12.0m
Be patient, see how it all pans out, but be prepared to throw the kitchen sink at Kane should he land a move to Manchester City.
He is likely to miss the start of the campaign as part of a prolonged post-Euro 2020 break regardless of his future, so he isn’t a GW1 pick, but there’s no way he could go without a mention in this article. Harry Kane at Manchester City in the prime of his career could set records.
