Top 5 Best FPL Forwards to Pick in GW19

5. Erling Haaland – Manchester City | 102 points | £14.8m

There now has to be a discussion about how much leeway you can afford to give to the Manchester City players in your Fantasy Premier League Team. Their performance just does not appear to improve despite everything and it’s now 1 victory in 13 matches across all tournaments after a disappointing stretch of fixtures. Form has also evaded Erling Haaland but he continues to be the leading scorer in the Premier League. Any positive contribution that does arise from City, however, is likely to originate from the Norwegian. Even though he and his side have struggled a lot, City possesses all the capabilities to dismantle this week’s rivals Leicester City.

4. Chris Wood – Nottingham Forest | 94 points | £6.6m

Chris Wood is a number nine who is presently enjoying a fantastic season. When considering only forwards, only Erling Haaland outperforms him in total points this season in Fantasy Premier League. Wood has been instrumental as Nottingham Forest has risen to 4th position in the Premier League table. He has scored 10 goals in the Premier League thus far and has played a key role in this improvement in performance relative to the previous two seasons. This weekend, Forest is up against a poor Everton who are battling midtable mediocrity once again.

3. Matheus Cunha – Wolves | 110 points | £7.1m

Matheus Cunha has been in terrific form. In his last 4 games, he has 4 goal contributions. In total this season, he has 10 goals and 4 assists in 18 games this season. He has been really good, and even managed to score directly from a corner kick against Manchester United. His performances have made him the target for many big clubs across the league. This week, he will be expected to continue his good run as he takes on a Tottenham side who are heavily depleted in defence. Interestingly, despite playing for a weak Wolves side who are languishing near the bottom, he leads the Fantasy Premier League for points of forwards.

2. Alexander Isak – Newcastle | 105 points | £9.1m

Alexander Isak is an outstanding footballer. He is a tall striker but plays with the grace of a nimble winger. This season has been peculiar for Newcastle, as they have struggled to find any genuine consistency, despite exhibiting moments of brilliance on several occasions. The Swedish striker has scored 10 goals this season and contributed 4 assists, but lately, he has attained remarkable form. He has showcased strong performances in each of the last five games, including an impressive hat trick recently against Ipswich Town. This weekend, Newcastle will be up against a Manchester United side that has experienced defensive problems this season. Expect Isak to score, considering his current form.

1. Nicolas Jackson- Chelsea | 93 points | £8.3m

During his initial days last year at Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson frequently faced criticism for his inconsistency, particularly regarding his finishing abilities. Nevertheless, this season, he has succeeded in reversing that trend. He has already scored 9 goals along with 4 assists in the Premier League so far. Together with the rest of Chelsea’s young attacking lineup, he has forged a formidable partnership, and he has stepped up during this season. Chelsea has shown significant improvement this season, and are essentially in the title race. Chelsea will face a lowly Ipswich Town on the weekend and Jackson will be expected to score.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 19, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the game between Manchester City and Everton. Manchester City have been struggling immensely and any win at the moment looks difficult to come by. Everton on the other hand have been difficult to score against but also difficult to score.

The deadline for GW18 is on December 26th.
