Best forwards for FPL 2023/24 Gameweek 7: Our watchlist

We will look at forwards from every price point: budget enablers, midpriced picks and premium options.

Budget forwards for Gameweek 7 (4.5m – 7m)

Best 4.5m forwards:

• Semenyo (4.5m, Bournemouth) – started 3 in 6 games for Bournemouth this season, 1G+1A
• Archer (4.5m, Sheffield) – transferred to Sheffield, and we expect him to be a regular starter for them, banged a double-digit haul on his debut against Everton – he is the best 4.5m forward to own this season

 

Edouard (5.6m, Crystal Palace) – 3/10

Verdict: If you bought him for the Fulham fixture, hold him now mainly for the GW8 fixture against Nottingham. Then sell.

21 shots, and 3.1 xGI in the first 6 games, but only 1 shot and 0.3xG in the last 2 games

Crystal Palace do not tend to score a lot of goals

 

Morris (5.5m, Luton) – 5/10

Verdict: Buy if you are looking for a double gameweek punt for GW7

A double gameweek in GW7 The main man for Luton in the previous season in the Championship with 20G + 7A Talisman, already with 6G + 1A On penalties Up to GW10 fixtures look good

Luton will not score many goals

Wissa (6.1m, Bretford) – 6/10

Verdict: Hold until the Wildcard, give your Brentford attackers 3 more gameweeks

With Toney suspended until January, Wissa could be a budget forward for the worst half of FPL 2023/24 season.

scored 7 goals and registered 4 assists in 2022/23 in only 1600 minutes, which is impressive When he plays, he can deliver points Nice run of fixtures for Brentford up to GW9, try to have at least one of their players in your team in that period

If you will go Mbeumo in the midfield as well, your team could be too reliant on Brentford scoring points. But it could be a good differential strategy. Not a  “proven” FPL asset

 

Awoniyi (6.6m, Nottingham Forest), 4/10

Verdict: Hold

• The surprise of the current FPL season, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 matches, despite tougher fixtures
• Fixtures are now improving for Nottingham, he could be a good differential attacker for your FPL team
• 3 goals from 9 shots and 2.4 xG

 

Alvarez (6.9m, Manchester City) – 9/10

Verdict: Buy

One of top transfer targets blanked only twice this season Should get more starts now, when De Bruyne is going to be out for a few weeks He is 6.9m forward for the most attacking team in the league, which is almost a no brainer If you have an easy route to get him in, do it

Still could be rotated, City line ups are unpredictable There will be Champions League rotation for City from now on

Jackson (7.1m, Chelsea) – 1/10

Verdict: Sell, suspended fro GW7. Read more: Best Jackson replacements in FPL

Second for xGI among forwards this season so far, 15 shots in 4 games One of the most underperforming players this season based on the stats Excellent form in pre-season, 2G+3A Nice run of fixtures up to GW8

Not proven FPL asset need a lot of chances to score On 4 yellow cards

 

Other options to consider at this price bracket:

• Wilson/Isak (Newcastle) – they are both amazing players, but none of them is a 90-minute man. They will share game time, especially now when Champions League starts for Newcastle. You could get lucky with one of them, but then he could get benched the following gameweek. They both could deliver over the Newcastle’s fixture run, but will their shared game time be enough to outscore similarly priced forwards and midfielders over the long run?
• Solanke (6.5m, Bournemouth) – injury doubt for GW7, but 3 attacking returns so far despite tougher fixtures. Now when fixtures are improving for Bournemouth, he should not be overlooked.

 

Mid-priced FPL forwards for Gameweek 7 (7.5m – 8.5m)

Watkins 7.9m, Aston Villa) – 5/10

Verdict: Hold, potential buy in GW7 – but now without penalties, the 8m price tag might be too much.

Blanked only once this season – this is what he does, he slowly racks up 5 or 6 pointers through the season Talisman and a key goalscorer for his team scored at least 130 FPL points on each of the previous 3 seasons 4th highest ICT index and 4th for xGI in FPL among forwards (after Kane, Haaland and Toney) in the last season Can get FPL points regularly

He is not very explosive but can slowly rack up FPL points Tougher fixtures, he will be a bandwagon when Aston Villa fixtures turn green in GW7 not on penalties anymore

 

Premium FPL forwards for Gameweek 7 (9m – 14m)

Haaland (14.1m, Manchester City) – 10/10

Haaland is most likely to win Golden Boot in 2023/24 according to bookies odds A top-scoring player from the previous season Captaincy option in every game regardless of the fixture

The most expensive player in the game His form was on the decline at the end of last season

Our current front three

Our currently preferred front three for GW6 of 2023/24 season is Haaland + Alvarez + Morris
