UNBELIEVABLE: Fpl team five forwards you should consider picking for gameweek 1 - The Untold Story

  1. Joao Pedro (£7.5m) - It would be obvious to pick out Erling Haaland but he is going to cost you a staggering £15.5m. So, how about someone for less than half that price? Joao Pedro scored 15 league goals in his first season at Chelsea and will be looking to kick on again.
  2. Jean-Philippe Mateta (£6.5m) - Mateta had some quiet periods last season amid links with a move away from Crystal Palace, but still ended up with 12 league goals. Looks to be an excellent pick at just £6.5m.
  3. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m) - Another player who hit double figures last season. Calvert-Lewin has looked rejuvenated at Leeds and will be aiming to continue scoring goals to force his way back into the England team.
  4. Evanilson (£6.0m) - Evanilson only scored six goals last season, but proved his class in the previous campaign by netting 10 times. If he can get back to his best, he looks a strong selection at just £6.0m.
  5. Oli McBurnie (£5.5m) - McBurnie is back in the Premier League after scoring 19 goals across all competitions for Hull City last season. He looks likely to be the team’s main goalscoring threat again this season as they aim to stay in the top flight.
