He simply gets on with it \u2013 half-chances, self-made chances, he\u2019ll take plenty of them this season. He\u2019s Newcastle\u2019s main man and will play every minute he\u2019s available.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) \u2013 \u00a37.5m<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Watkins grew into his debut season at the top of English football and a full summer off will see him return in fine fettle.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p> <h2><strong>Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester) \u2013 \u00a37.5m<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019s no reason he can\u2019t maintain his form.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Harry Kane (Tottenham) \u2013 \u00a312.0m<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t a GW1 pick, but there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings&quot;\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sport\/&quot;\">Sport<\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Forwards are a crucial component of your Fantasy Premier League team \u2013 we round up the best tips for goalscorers to sign in FPL 2021\/22. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":2725,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign.jpg",1024,683,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign.jpg",800,534,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign.jpg",1024,683,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/fantasy-premier-league-tips-2020-21-best-forwards-to-sign.jpg",1024,683,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Forwards are a crucial component of your Fantasy Premier League team \u2013 we round up the best tips for goalscorers to sign in FPL 2021\/22.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/2724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
