Best FPL Strikers GW21, Premier League 2025-26

We are back with Gameweek 21 edition of best FPL strikers for this week. A lot of strikers are in top form right now in the Premier League, and we have selected the best ones who have an excellent chance of providing you huge returns for GW21. Certain strikers in the list are struggling in form recently, but their fixture is so favorable that there's a huge scope for them to end up scoring a goal or 2. Let's not waste more time then, scroll down below to find our best Fpl forwards list for this week.


Best FPL Strikers This week - GW21 (Gameweek 21)

Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)

Erling Haaland has failed to score in his last 3 Premier League appearances, but that hasn't stopped us from including him in our list of best FPL strikers for this week. The Norwegian is a machine who could end up destroying defences at any time, and he's still the league top scorer with 19 goals in just 20 appearances. Moreover, Brighton at home is a really attractive fixture since the Seagulls are known for conceding goals.


Thiago (Brentford, £6.9m)

Thiago made quite the statement against Everton in Gameweek 20 of the Premier League, as he ended up scoring a hat-trick to help his side win 2-4. It was the perfect reply to his doubters and haters after the Brazilian failed to score in his previous 6 Premier League appearances. Brentford will be facing Sunderland at home next, and this looks like a game that has goals all over it. Thus, Thiago stands out as an attractive FPL forward pick.


Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, £8.7m)

Ollie Watkins had a horrible start to his Premier League season, and many went on to even claim that he's past his best. The English striker has now given the best response to everyone in recent weeks, scoring 4 goals in his 4 EPL appearances. What makes the feat even more impressive is that 2 of those came against Chelsea as a sub and the other versus an Arsenal team known for their solid defense. Villa face a struggling Crystal Palace side next, which makes Watkins one of the best FPL forwards for this week.


Thierno Barry (Everton, £5.7m)

Thierno Barry is our official pick for best FPL budget forward for this week. He comes at a price of just £5.7m, which is ridiculously cheap for a starting forward. The French forward has managed to score in his 2 Premier League games, and thus is in great form at the moment. Everton face Wolves next at home, who have one of the worst defences in the league. Thus, Barry looks like a risk worth taking.


Benjamin Šeško (Manchester United £7.2m)

Benjamin Šeško has been largely disappointing after his switch to Manchester United from RB Leipzig for a huge €85 million transfer fee. In fact, he's just managed to score 2 goals and provide 1 assist in 16 Premier League appearances. The good news for him, however, is that United will be facing Burnley away in Gameweek 21, which is one of the easiest fixtures to score for any forward player. This could be the game where Šeško scores and starts to build up his confidence at United.


Those were our best  Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Strikers for this week (GW21). The FPL attackers above all are attractive picks for this week, so do choose them according to your budget and team priorities. That's it from our side, we will be seeing you soon for our pick of best Fantasy Premier League strikers for Gameweek 22.
