Best Forwards to Pick in Fantasy Premier League GW30

As we approach Gameweek 30, the excitement is getting higher because this is the last international break, and there will be no more breaks until the Premier League season is over. So let’s take a look at the GW29 best-performing forwards before we discuss forwards for gameweek 30. The only forward to score double-digit points in GW29 was Strand Larsen of Wolves who scored a brace.

Top 5 Best Forwards To Pick For Fantasy Premier League GW30

5. Jean-Philippe Mateta – Crystal Palace | £7.5m

While there’s no official announcement about the striker’s return from injury, it has been reported that he is fully fit to face Fulham in the upcoming FA Cup tie this weekend which comes four days before Crystal Palace’s GW30 tie against Southampton. He scored 8 goals in 8 matches before he sustained an injury, but if he is really fit, then it’s a no-brainer to get him against the last-placed team in the league table. Make sure to wait for the pre-match pressers before making a decision about him.

4. Erling Haaland – Manchester City | £14.8m

Definitely, not the most in-form forward in the Premier League right now, but never write Erling Haaland off. A player of his caliber, who plays for a team like Manchester City, can never be underestimated. It’s important to remember that he is still the top-scoring forward in the Premier League with 21 goals, only second to Salah. And Leicester City is the best opponent that he would like to play against now to increase his tally this season.

3. Joao Pedro – Brighton | £5.6m

One of the best budget forwards right now in FPL is undoubtedly Joao Pedro. He scored 30 points in his last 4 appearances scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist including his 1-pointer against Manchester City in GW29. So if you are looking for a forward that fits your budget and helps you spread your funds elsewhere in your team, and also who is in form with favorable fixtures then Jao Pedro is one of the options in GW30 both as a short-term punt pick or a longer-term pick.

2. Strand Larsen – Wolverhampton | £5.3m

With Cunha out of the Wolves team until GW32, Strand Larsen is set to be the main man in this Wolves team for the next couple of weeks. He is not a long-term pick but anyone planning to play their Wildcard and Freehit chip in the upcoming weeks can get Strand Larsen now in their team as a short-term punt, as the current form of Wolves, and their next two opponents ( West Ham United and Ipswich Town ), both is favorable.

1. Alexander Isak – Newcastle | £9.3m

Be it about picking a cheaper option than Haaland, a long-term pick, someone who is in form, or someone whose club is playing well; Alexander Isak fits all of these pretty well. His performance justifies his popularity currently as one of the best FPL forward picks. The only doubt about him can be the fact that he is a bit injury-prone. Nevertheless, he seems fit now and set to start GW30 as Newcastle aims to continue their winning ways after recently claiming the EFL Cup.
