Hello and welcome to our Gameweek 16 edition of best FPL strikers for this week. GW16 offers an excellent opportunity for certain strikers to add more goals to their stats for the season, as the fixtures are quite favourable for some of them. We have done our research and come up with the best Fantasy Premier League forwards you pick or buy for your team. Let's not waste more time then, scroll down below to find out our Fpl forwards list for the week.
Best FPL forwards this week - GW16
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.0m)
Erling Haaland finally scored against Real Madrid for the first time in his career, as Pep Guardiola's side ended up claiming victory in the Champions League. The Norwegian is now sure to be full of confidence when City face Crystal Palace away in Gameweek 16, and thus we've included him in our best FPL strikers for this week list. We suggest you make sure to have him in your team.
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal, £8.8m)
Viktor Gyökeres has struggled since returning from injury for Arsenal. However, the Gunners face the worst team in the Premier League in Wolves. Thus, this match presents the best opportunity for Gyökeres to score a goal or 2 and get back that lost confidence. The fact that even a struggling Manchester United ended up scoring 4 against Wolves is the biggest indication that Gyökeres and his Arsenal teammates could end up thrashing them.
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £8.4m)
Arne Slot changed his usual system and went with a 2-striker lineup when Liverpool faced Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League. Thus, now there are even more chances for Ekiteke to start when Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield this Premier League weekend. Moreover, we believe that Ekiteke will still get the start over Isak if Slot goes back to his old system since the French striker is in better form right now. Brighton are quite vulnerable in defense, and Ekiteke could exploit that weakness in the game.
Thiago (Brentford, £7.0m)
Thiago has gone from being an unknown forward at Brentford to now arguably the second best striker in the Premier league only behind Erling Haaland. Brentford face Leeds at home in Gameweek 16, which makes Thiago one of the best Fantasy Premier League forwards for this week. His FPL price has risen immensely in comparison to the beginning of the season, but he'll still be worth it due to his excellent form. Undoubtedly a highly attractive pick for GW16.
Danny Welbeck (Brighton, £6.6m)
Liverpool had a Great performance against Inter Milan in the Champions League, but that doesn't take away the fact that Arne Slot's side have been horrible in the Premier League. On top of that, their defence has been horrendous this EPL season. Thus, Danny Welbeck stands out as one of the best budget forwards in FPL this week. He is a high-risk high-reward selection that could absolutely make the difference in your final rankings after Gameweek 16 if everything goes right for you. Pick him if you love the thrill of taking risks.
These are our best Fantasy Premier League strikers for this week (GW16). All the FPL attackers above have a great chance of giving you solid returns, so choose wisely according to your preference. That's it from our side, we will be seeing you soon for our pick of best Fantasy Premier League strikers in Gameweek 17. Farewell for now.
