With only seven gameweeks left in the 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League season, FPL managers have to make the right decisions to claim bragging rights in their leagues.

That's what makes picking the right strikers each week so important; so often captain picks, the likes of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have powered FPL squads to high scores with the sheer volume of their goalscoring.

Haaland is out of contention this gameweek due to the FA Cup semi finals, so who should you be targeting up front? Here are the top forwards to sign in FPL this week.


Ollie Watkins (£7.7m)

We're not going to win any points for originality here, so let's just get our hot Ollie Watkins tip out of the way nice and early; he's scoring lots of goals, after all.

His haul of 16 points against Newcastle last time out was the England international's best return all season. He'll fancy his chances of adding to his 14 league goals so far against Brentford, who are without a win in five games, including three straight defeats.


Diogo Jota (£8.7m)

It's been a season of frustration for Diogo Jota, just like many of his Liverpool teammates. He finally got his first league goals of the season against Leeds and should be rewarded with another start against Nottingham Forest.

Steve Cooper's side have been the worst travellers in the Premier League this season and the Portuguese forward may bring in plenty of points.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.2m)

Arsenal face a defining set of fixtures over the next few weeks as they bid for Premier League title glory, and Gabriel Jesus has hit form at the right time.

The Brazilian has scored four goals in his last three league games and will be heavily involved in the Gunners' attacking forays against basement dwellers Southampton on Friday night.


Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.9m)

Leicester are in atrocious form so feel free to disregard this tip, but the Foxes do have some more promising games on the horizon as they look to avoid relegation.

Kelechi Iheanacho could be a differential at such a cheap price. Sat down in 19th, goals from the Nigerian forward in upcoming games against Wolves, Leeds and Everton would go a long way to secure Leicester's survival.


When is the FPL Gameweek 32 deadline?

It's a sneaky FPL deadline this week due to Arsenal's clash with Southampton on Friday night. That means you have until 18:30 BST that day to make any final tweaks to your squad before the deadline shuts.
