Forwards to pick in GW29
Muniz (4.5m, Fulham) – 1.5/10
- short term option solely for GW29, but you can bench him afterwards
- but hard to fit him to your team given only 3 precious forward spots
- while Raul Jimenez is out, he is playing up topf for Fulham. but Jimenez is back in training, so Muniz could become a dead weight for your FPL team later
- Has great form, 5G + 1A in last 6 Premier League games
Morris (5.2m, Luton) – 3/10
Verdict: Hold
- In very good form 5G + 4A in last 11 PL games.
- The main man for Luton in the previous season in the Championship with 20G + 7A
- Talisman for Luton
- On penalties
Wissa (5.7m, Brentford) – 4/10
Verdict: Buy if you are looking for a differential forward on a free hit
- 3G in last 3 games
- but do not expect 90 minutes from him, he used to be subbed off early
- Also, Mbeumo is very close to return, which will impact Wissa’s minutes even further
Wood (4.8m, Nottingham) – 3/10
Verdict: Buy if you are looking for a differential forward on a free hit
- back form injury
- proven FPL asset
- was in great form in the middle of the season, 2G in the reverse fixture against Luton
- Luton conceded the highest xG of all teams this season, you might want to have at least one Nottingham attacker in your free-hit team
- Nottingham have good fixture run after GW29, so their players could be longer-term picks, if you are not on a free hit
Toney (8.1m, Brentford) – 7/10
Verdict: Buy, according to bookies’ odds, Brentford has the best fixture of the gameweek
- Top for goalscoring odds in GW29
- already with 4G + 1A in 9 games he played, however, his form trailed off in last few gameweeks
- talisman for Brentford
- on penalties
- reliable FPL asset
Watkins (8.8m, Aston Villa) – 7/10
Verdict: Hold, his injury is not very serious – but make sure you have a good bench cover in case he misses the GW29

Best forwards beyond Gameweek 29: Our watchlist
We will look at forwards from every price point: budget enablers, midpriced picks and premium options.
Budget forwards beyond Gameweek 29 (4.5m – 7m)
Best 4.5m forwards:
- Semenyo (4.5m, Bournemouth) – Good bench fodder. But can be rotated
- Archer (4.3m, Sheffield) – could be your bench fodder if a budget is issue
- Muniz (4.4m, Fulham) – while Raul Jimenez is out, he is playing up topf for Fulham. Has great form, and fixture in blank GW29. But once Jimenez is back, he is unlikely to continue play in starting XI
Solanke (7.0m, Bournemouth) – 7/10
Verdict: Hold for good fixtures after GW29
- Key man for Bournemouth this season, involved in 17 of their 33 goals (17 attacking returns from 16 xGI)
- triple captain option in Double Gameweek 28
Alvarez (6.8m, Manchester City) – 4/10
Verdict: Sell, as he there are tougher fixtures for City on the horizon, and there will be higher rotation for City.

Mid-priced FPL forwards beyondGameweek 29 (7.5m – 8.5m)
Darwin (7.6m, Liverpool) – 2/10
Verdict: Hold
- 19 attacking returns and only 16 starts, he can deliver even of the bench
- Second highest xGI among Liverpool players after Salah, 4th for xGI among forwards this season
- can be very frustrating to own him in FPL, he needs a lot of chances to finally deliver FPL points
- But still is a rotation risk
Premium FPL forwards beyond Gameweek 29 (9m – 14.5m)
Haaland (14.4m, Manchester City) – 10/10
Verdict: Hold
