<h2><strong>Best FPL premium forwards </strong></h2>
<p>Here are our best premium FPL forward selections:</p>
<h3><strong>Alexander Isak (£8.5m) - Newcastle </strong></h3>
<p>Isak is currently the most-owned player in the game and with good reason.</p>
<p>The Swedish international scored 21 goals in 27 starts last season and he will no doubt get similar returns again if he stays fit.</p>
<p>Also with <strong>Callum Wilson (£7.0m)</strong> likely to miss the start of the season, Isak will be on penalties until he returns.</p>
<p>I would be very surprised if he isn't in the top three for points among forwards come the end of the season.</p>
<p>Newcastle's fixtures from Gameweek 1-5 do not get much better for attack. They play Southampton (H), Bournemouth (a), Spurs (H), Wolves (a) and Fulham (a).</p>
<p>The Magpies scored the fourth-most goals (85) last term and also recorded the fourth best xG (78.41). They are a brilliant attacking side and will likely finish in the top five for goals scored next season too.</p>
<p>Isak is their talisman now and the one most likely to get the goals for Eddie Howe.</p>
<p>The Swede is predicted to be the second-highest scoring forward from Gameweek 1 to 8 according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£15.0m) - Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p>Haaland came in at £15.0m, which makes him the most expensive FPL asset ever.</p>
<p>FPL seem to have got the pricing spot on this season, which means the Norwegian is not an auto-pick any more.</p>
<p>Haaland scored 27 goals and assisted eight last season, with an expected goals (xG) tally of 29.57 and expected assists (xA) of 2.18, which was nine goals fewer than his debut season.</p>
<p>In 2022/23 he netted 36 goals in 33 starts and registered the highest xG in the league (28.54). He also recorded nine assists, with an xA of 3.11.</p>
<p>Seeing as his stats were so similar. he could well have surpassed his first season's metrics and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets close to 40 league goals this season if he stays fit.</p>
<p>He is one of the only players in world football right now who is capable of that feat.</p>
<p>City scored the most goals (96) last season and recorded the second highest xG (82.42). It is highly likely they will finish in the top two for these metrics again.</p>
<p>Haaland is nailed to start, on penalties and is going to be the best captain choice in most weeks.</p>
<p>The Norwegian had the third highest goal involvement (46%) in the league and is City’s talisman and centre-forward.</p>
<p>Also with his quality, Haaland is fixture-proof and can haul against any opposition. He is predicted to be the second-highest scoring player overall for the first eight gameweeks according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Kai Havertz (£8.0m) - Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p>Havertz had a phenomenal debut year for Arsenal. The German managed 13 goals and 10 assists, with an xG of 12.36 and xA of 3.88.</p>
<p>Nine of his goals and six of his assists came from Gameweek 25, when he shifted to the number nine role.</p>
<p>I would be extremely surprised if Mikel Arteta doesn't play him there again next season, even though he has played in midfield in <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-pre-season-results-guide">pre-season</a> so far.</p>
<p>Havertz thrives as the centre-forward in this team and his positional change to a forward in FPL shouldn't put you off him either, especially at his price.</p>
<p>I think he is nailed to start now and quite a bit ahead of <strong>Gabriel Jesus (£7.0m)</strong> and <strong>Eddie Nketiah (£6.0m)</strong> in the pecking order.</p>
<p>Arsenal were one of the best attacking sides in the league last season and I think we will see more of the same next term. Arteta’s side scored 91 goals (second) with an xG of 78.82 (third).</p>
<p>Arsenal have some really good games from an attacking point of view in the first 10.</p>
<p>They play Wolves (H), Brighton (H), Leicester (H), Southampton (H) and Bournemouth (a) but also face Aston Villa (a), Spurs (a), City (a), Liverpool (H) and Newcastle (a) which should be high-scoring games.</p>
<p>Havertz is the fourth highest scoring predicted forward (42.1) for the first eight gameweek's according to the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.0m) - Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p>Watkins registered an incredible 19 goals and 18 assists last season, with an xG of 16.74 and an xA of 4.02.</p>
<p>This was even more impressive given he wasn't even on penalties.</p>
<p>That may change this season though after the departure of Douglas Luiz to Juventus.</p>
<p>Watkins is an all-round forward with both goal and assist threat and is nailed to start. Although he over-performed with his assists, he does still get a fair few - in the previous three seasons he has 21.</p>
<p>The 28-year old is the most-nailed attacker in the Villa side and will no doubt be their top scorer again for the fifth season running.</p>
<p>The Villans have a tricky first couple of opening fixtures against West Ham (a) and Arsenal (H).</p>
<p>But they then have a fantastic run from Gameweek 3-12 as they play Leicester (a), Everton (H), Wolves (H), Ipswich (a), Manchester United (H), Fulham (a), Bournemouth (H), Spurs (a) and Crystal Palace (H).</p>
<p>It's highly likely Watkins will score very well over that run of games.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on Watkins fitness and Unai Emery's press conference - as the England international hasn't played a single minute of preseason.</p>
