FPL Gameweek 30: The best forwards to sign
Another weekend of Fantasy Premier League action is upon us with the matches coming thick and fast.
Rearranged fixtures meant Gameweek 29 included 16 matches and helped FPL managers post big totals, with some bosses hitting three figures. A number of strikers enjoyed healthy point returns and there are plenty of enticing options for transfers.
Erling Haaland is back in training and could be available for Manchester City against Southampton, but which big-hitters aside from the Norwegian should you be considering this weekend?
Ollie Watkins (£7.5m)
You may well be thinking you've missed the boat by now if you're still without Ollie Watkins. The Aston Villa striker has scored in eight of his last ten league games and his side host Nottingham Forest, who have been poor on the road this year.
A heavy win for Unai Emery's Villans beckons and Watkins will surely be among the goalscorers. His selection rate is only at 17.3% so he's still a differential - for now.
Gabriel Jesus (£8m)
Gabriel Jesus has returned from injury just in time to boost Arsenal's Premier League title charge. He's also presenting a problem for FPL managers, with teammates like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and even Granit Xhaka offering good value in midfield.
The Gunners do have to vanquish some ghosts as they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, but Jesus proved he is sharp with two goals against Leeds and will be keen to make up lost time.
Callum Wilson (£6.9m)
Callum Wilson is involved in a tussle up front with Alexander Isak to start for Newcastle. They both delivered against West Ham, but Wilson managed three goals during GW29 to Isak's one and should get the nod here as reward for his excellent form.
The Magpies visit Brentford in an enticing game on Saturday afternoon and with Eddie Howe's side looking to secure a top four spot, Wilson can provide points in attack.
Carlos Vinicius (£5.4m)
Aleksandar Mitrovic owners have been ditching the big Serbian striker ever since his hefty ban for his antics against Manchester United in the FA Cup was announced. His deputy Carlos Vinicius offers an obvious alternative.
The Cottagers have fixtures against West Ham, Everton and Leeds on the horizon, with all three teams showing evident weak spots in defence throughout the season. Vinicius could prove to be a smart addition for those looking to think outside the box.
