5 Best Forward Picks for Fantasy Premier League GW 5

Forwards are one of the best points-scoring options in Fantasy Premier League as they are the ones most likely to score. In all other gameweeks, Erling Haaland is a fixture on this list but with Manchester City scheduled to play Arsenal this weekend, he won’t make it in. Let us see the 5 best forwards you should pick for Gameweek 5.

5. Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Despite Everton’s rather poor form, Dominic Calvert Lewin has been a good option in the Fantasy Premier League thus far. He already has a total of 22 points from the 4 Gameweeks so far, having scored two goals and provided an assist. This weekend, Everton play Leicester City, who have already conceded 7 times. For the £5.9m striker and Everton, this could be a great game.

4. Nicolas Jackson

Nicolas Jackson has a livewire in the attack. He has already contributed to a total of 19 points this season. He too has 2 goals and 1 assist and Chelsea have been in good scoring form this season. Their match this weekend is a London derby against West Ham. The Hammers haven’t had the best start to the season, and the Senegalese striker could compound their issues.

3. Ollie Watkins

After a poor start to the season, Ollie Watkins has been revitalized and has exploded into life. He scored a brace in the most recent comeback win against Everton and provided an assist midweek versus Young Boys in the UCL. With a weak Wolves side facing Aston Villa this weekend, Watkins could be set for a big haul once again. He has 22 points so far this season, 13 of which came in the last game.

2. Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak, like Erling Haaland, has been a fixture in these lists. He has been in mixed form, managing 17 points from 4 games. A goal and an assist aside, he has been largely silent. This weekend, Newcastle face Fulham and he can trouble them a lot. The Swedish striker is undoubtedly class and it is about time he finds his range again.

1. Jhon Duran

Jhon Duran has been the revelation of the Premier League season. He looks like a complete striker and has seemingly got everything in the locker. Against Everton last week, he scored a goal-of-the-season contender. Facing Wolves this weekend, Duran is likely to start. Even if he doesn’t, expect a goal from the bench. He currently has the best minutes-to-goals ratio in the history of the Premier League.
