Best FPL forwards This Week- GW31
Benjamin Šeško (Manchester United, £7.4m)
Benjamin Šeško has been absolutely outstanding for Manchester United ever since Michael Carrick has taken over. Even in games where the coach drops him from the starting eleven, Šeško ends up coming from the bench and scoring. United will face Bournemouth as well this weekend, which is a decent fixture. He is undoubtedly a great FPL striker for this week.
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £9.2m)
Brighton are one of the weakest teams in the Premier league defensively, especially since they play an attacking-style of football that's a bit risky. Hence we have gone with Hugo Ekiteke as one of our top FPL striker picks for Gameweek 31. He has been Liverpool's best forward this season, and we can see him get a goal or 2 in this game.
Thiago (Brentford, £7.3m)
With Erling Haaland struggling for Man City quite a lot recently, Thiago must be more motivated than ever as the Brazilian striker is chasing him for the Premier League golden boot. The Brentford forward already has 19 goals this season, and is just 3 behind Haaland. With Brentford facing Leeds this weekend, Thiago has great potential for solid attacking returns this week.
João Pedro (Chelsea, £7.8m)
João Pedro has been one of the most improved players for Chelsea this season after Liam Rosenior took over. Pedro's numbers this season are really impressive as well, especially if you consider that it's his first season at Chelsea. The Brazilian has 14 goals and 5 assists this season. Everton this week is a decent fixture for him to add to that.
Raúl Jiménez (Fulham, £6.2m)
Raul Jiménez is the best budget forward you can get in Fantasy Premier League this week for Gameweek 31. Fulham will face Burnley at home this weekend, which is one of the best fixtures for attackers in the Premier League. Jiménez already has 11 goal contributions this season, and a Burnley side with such a weak defense is a great opportunity for him to make it 12 or even more for this season.
To sum up, picking the right striker could make a significant difference to your Fantasy Premier League returns in Gameweek 31. With favorable fixtures and strong goal-scoring potential, the forwards highlighted above are capable of delivering valuable points through goals, assists, and bonus contributions. Take time to assess your squad structure and budget before making a move, and select the forward who you think can give your FPL team the best chance of success in GW31.
