In case you’re searching for a modest third striker yet can’t exactly find the money for Toney, Pukki is your next most ideal choice, costing just £6m, no other part in his value range verges on coordinating with him for esteem. Norwich have a trio of choices upfront, however giving he is fit, Pukki is the one who will start.

The 31-year-old scored six of his 11 Premier League objectives in 2019/20 in the Canaries’ initial five matches, and however his impact dropped off, it was as yet a sensible return from a budget plan forward. The Finland international scored on 26 events in last season’s Championship, representing 35% of his team’s goals, and once again ended up being probably the most strongest resource of Farke’s side. His movements are amazing and he thrives off balls in behind the opposition’s backline. He additionally loves to shoot from the right-hand side of the goal, which is something to remember once we realize which teams are more susceptible to giving up chances from that zone.

Joao Pedro is certainly the most exciting budget forward in Fantasy Premier League. He has played the most minutes from any of the Watford forwards and looks to have earned his manager’s trust as he set himself up as Watford’s driving striker during their promotion-winning season, finishing the mission with a decent nine goals. An adaptable player, Pedro can play on either flank and can create some big chances for his team. Pedro can be very influential in the build-up play for Watford in the next campaign. He’ll get more game time after his impressive Championship campaign for Watford and he was one of the players responsible for the qualification to Premier League.

He can be a good 3rd choice option, but since he and Toney cost the same it’s very natural that managers will target Toney but if you’re looking for some differentials then you can go for him. He poses a huge threat in the air, an out-and-out striker, can be very influential to the team especially with a new manager coming in, he’ll lead the attack for Crystal Palace and can be a big set-piece threat as well. He has certainly not started the opening games in the last season, came back late into the team, and was in the scoresheet probably most of the times when Palace scored.

The reason why Benteke can be more vital is because Vieira utilizes a 4-1-4-1 formation alongside its variations (4-3-3, 4-5-1). Regularly, Vieira changes the formation a little and utilizations a variety of 4-4-1-1 which can likewise be 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 on paper. It’s additionally not uncommon to see them arranging or changing the arrangement mid-game into a three-man backline framework, utilizing a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-1 or 3-4-3 in the game. It might create the impression that Vieira doesn’t actually have one set/supported arrangement and likes to explore different avenues regarding novel thoughts. However, the developments he utilizes in the game may change, the way of thinking and strategies he utilizes are basically something very similar in each game. Though with a couple of changes that are reliant upon the rivals they face.

5. Allan Saint-Maximin FWD NEW £6.5

Playing Position: CF
Appearances (starts): 25 (19)
Minutes per game: 63
⚽️ 3 goals   🅰️ 4 assists
Per game:   👟 1.2 shots   🔑 1.2 KPs
🎨 6 big chances created

Newcastle’s electric talent, Saint-Maximin, has been renamed as a forward this season, instead of a midfielder. At last, that choice could be a blow for FPL supervisors, who might be put off marking Saint-Maximin in one of three forward spaces. He has been the best player for Newcastle ever since he has arrived, he suffers from injuries but he can have some major impact on the game when he is fit. He can be a nice option but again draws a major competition with Ivan Toney. He can be a great gameweek differential if you are ready to take some risk.

6. Danny Welbeck FWD BHA £6.0

Playing Position: CF
Appearances (starts): 24 (17)
Minutes per game: 64
⚽️ 6 goals   🅰️ 1 assists
Per game:   👟 1.5 shots   🔑 0.9 KPs

Welbeck can be the Seagulls’ critical attacker over their phenomenal opening fixtures. They play Burnley (A), Watford (H), Everton (H), Brentford (A), Crystal Palace (A), and Norwich (A) during their initial eight games. Welbeck was engaged with 56% of Brighton’s goals, more than some other regular. He is very influential at the top when fit, he leads the attack at the same time he can drop deep and can create for his strike partners. Brighton has a very easy run in the opening gameweeks and Graham Potter’s side is a very attacking side, they are not gonna sit back and enjoy, they equally possess a huge threat in front of any opposition so picking him in your side can give you valuable returns.

7. Rodrigo Moreno FWD LEE £6.5

Playing Position: CF
Appearances (starts): 26 (14)
Minutes per game: 50
⚽️ 7 goals   🅰️ 2 assists
Per game:   👟 1.8 shots   🔑 1.2 KPs
🎨 4 big chances created

Rodrigo ended the season very well, he is certainly looked upon by Bielsa and can be a key man behind Bamford in the 4-1-4-1 formation. Being in that dynamic spot, we are anticipating that Rodrigo Moreno should perform better this season, he too faces competition with Ivan Toney and he can be a differential for the Gameweeks. He is likely to appear more into the starting 11 just behind Bamford, sometimes they might switch the position as Bamford naturally likes to drop a bit bringing his strike partners into the game. Tactically, Rodrigo will play a major part in the 21/22 campaign also it might help the FPL Managers with the returns that we all expect from him.

8. Tammy Abraham FWD CHE £6.5

Playing Position: CF
Appearances (starts): 22 (12)
Minutes per game: 47
⚽️ 6 goals   🅰️ 1 assists
Per game:   👟 1.5 shots   🔑 0.4 KPs
🎨 1 big chance created

Chelsea striker is likely to depart this summer to another premier league side, he can be very influential up at the top. He had an outstanding 19/20 campaign where he scored 15 goals and assisted 3, so if he lands in any of the premier league side then he will give major competition to Ivan Toney. He is a major goal threat whichever side he plays for and he’ll surely get more game time and will be a regular starter as compared to Chelsea as he has lost his spot. Tammy is equally good in the air and is a set-piece threat. He is also a guy who lines himself up for the spot-kick. It will be interesting to see whether he leaves this summer or not which can bring in more options for FPL Managers.
