Top 5 Best Forwards to pick in Fantasy Premier League GW28

5. Beto – Everton | 58 points | £5.0m

The appointment of David Moyes has rejuvenated Everton once again. More than anything else, it is the impact he has had on Beto. The forward was brought in after some impressive performances in Serie A for Udinese a few years ago. However, since joining the Toffees, things haven’t quite gone his way. Yet, after Moyes’s arrival, the story has shifted dramatically. Beto has been named the main striker for the squad, and it has brought benefits for them. All of his starts in the Premier League have happened in the last few weeks, and he has netted 6 goals. Given Wolves’ defense, he could accomplish it once more.

4. Yoane Wissa – Brentford | 122 points | £6.4m

Brentford have experienced a season with ups and downs, and notably, while their performance away from home has been quite poor, they excel at the GTech stadium. This weekend, they face Leicester City, who have struggled since their promotion to the Premier League. Yoane Wissa has proven to be a reliable striker in the Premier League. He has made the tough task of stepping in for Ivan Toney appear relatively straightforward for Brentford. Wissa is in excellent form, having scored 12 goals and provided 3 assists this season. With the Bees set to play against Aston Villa this weekend, Wissa has the potential to earn significant points.

3. Liam Delap – Ipswich Town | 104 points | £5.6m

The offspring of a celebrated Premier League figure, Liam Delap aims to create his own legacy in the league, and has made a remarkable start. He completed his education at the Manchester City academy alongside players such as Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, and even though his ascent to the top has taken a bit longer, he has reached it now. The 21-year-old has netted 10 out of the 26 goals that Ipswich has scored, which have resulted from a modest total of 51 attempts. Delap appears to be a tall, strong runner with adept movement within the penalty box. He certainly has a promising future as a forward in the Premier League. With Crystal Palace scheduled this week, Delap has the opportunity to boost his goal count.

2. Cody Gakpo – Liverpool | 96 points | £7.5m

A considerable share of Liverpool’s attacking output this season has come from Mo Salah. Nevertheless, there are also other players contributing as the Reds have ascended to the summit of the table. Cody Gakpo is one such player. He has netted 8 goals and offered 4 assists. This is a perfect moment to wager on him. Diogo Jota is presently out due to fitness concerns, and Arne Slot seems to have little faith in Darwin Nunez’s skills. The next matches for Liverpool are also advantageous to capitalize on. They have a straightforward match against Southampton.

1. Alexander Isak – Newcastle United | 167 points | £9.4m

Alexander Isak is currently in remarkable form. Newcastle started the season inconsistently; however, they are performing exceptionally well at this moment. They achieved 8 consecutive victories, with three of those wins coming against Manchester United, Spurs, and Arsenal. Isak found the net in 7 of these 8 matches. The Swedish forward has netted 19 goals this season and has provided 5 assists, and recently, he has reached outstanding form. Isak redeemed a poor performance from the previous weeks with another brace against Nottingham Forest recently. Newcastle is set to play against West Ham. Given his current form, anticipate Isak to score nonetheless.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 28, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the game between Manchester United and Arsenal. In their most recent game, Arsenal put 7 past PSV in the Champions League and Manchester United got knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham.

The deadline for GW28 is on the 8th March.
